Itinerary
Welcome to what is sure to be an amazing trip. Kicking off the day, you'll meet your Trip Manager and fellow travellers.
Next up, a day of exploring Manhattan. We're talking Hudson Yards, the Highline, a ride on the public ferry to check out the Statue of Liberty, and a visit to the site of the World Trade Centre. (D) Stay: Moxy NYC Times Square (or similar)
It's time to head across the bridge and get exploring Brooklyn. Made famous by Girls, Gossip Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, this borough is the real deal.
We have a free day to explore and there's still one bit of the city we haven't seen - Central Park. And what better way than with a bike tour? Tonight, why not join us to get a final view over the city from the Empire State Building, and cheers to what's been an incredible start, but there's still plenty more to come!
Well NYC, we came, we saw, we conquered.
Next stop Philly! But not before a true American style diner breakfast - we're talking unlimited coffee and pancakes the size of your head. Taking the Amtrak (train) down to Philadelphia will have us arriving early afternoon. Your Trip Manager will take you on a walk through historic Philly, pointing out some of the landmarks that makes this city famous, including the LOVE Monument and the Liberty Bell, it's going to be a cracking good time.
For dinner, why not try what the city is famous for - Philly Cheese steak and whoopie pies. The perfect spot for all this? Reading Terminal Market. (B) Stay: Motto by Hilton (or similar)
Today we head to the political capital of the USA, DC! Jumping back on the Amtrak will have us arriving in no time at all. Your Trip Manager will give you a city tour of Washington DC, pointing out the White House, Capitol Building, the Washington Monument and National Mall. After checking in to tonight's accommodation, the night is yours - dinner, drinks, whatever you please! (D) Stay: The Generator Washington DC (or similar)
A full free day in DC to do it your way is upon you. Whether that means strolling the National Mall, exploring the Smithsonian, kayaking on the Potomac or checking out Union St Market. Our recommendation - lunch at the fish markets. Get a taste of the citys seafood the same way the locals do.
Tonight's dinner is a nod to the city's history, and the perfect opportunity to reunite with the group and hear about everyone's day. (B/L)
Heading out this morning, we'll make our way to Orlando. Famous for its theme parks. This city also boasts some of the best museums and art galleries in the country. Time to explore on foot and gather ideas of how you're going to spend your free day tomorrow. Get set to experience serious levels of fun and excitement in this land of theme parks and crazy rides.. (B/L) Stay: A conveniently located hostel
Today is your opportunity to visit the epic Universal Studios, where you can visit Diagon Alley, splash around in the vast water park or visit the islands of adventure. There's something for everyone in this dizzying spectacle of rides, film and entertainment. (B) Stay: A conveniently located hotel
A morning coach ride out of Orlando into Miami means plenty of time to relax after a day full of adrenaline. Watch the coastline go by as we make it to our last stop. We'll get to Miami in the late afternoon, and then you're free to pass the time however you like. A dip in the warm Atlantic waters, perhaps? Or going for a stroll and taking in the epic architecture of South Beach? After a good old wander (or sunbathing sesh), we'll meet back in the evening for a mouthwatering Cuban feast. (B/D) Stay: A conveniently located hostel
Time to say goodbye to your crew. It's been a blast, but all good things must come to an end. With our sun-kissed skin and eyes on the next horizon, it's time to plan our next Contiki. Peru, anyone? (B)
