Day 2: New York City. Included Manhattan sightseeing.
The 'Big Apple' is one of the world's most exciting cities, buzzing with atmosphere and packed with fascinating sights and great shops. On today's sightseeing tour, see New York City's major attractions, including Broadway, the Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, bustling Chinatown, City Hall, Wall Street and Trinity Church.

Day 3: New York City - Pocono Mountains - Niagara Falls.
We leave Manhattan and head north-west through the renowned Pocono Mountains and the scenic farmlands of upstate New York. Late this afternoon cross the border at Rainbow Bridge and proceed to the Canadian side of the Niagara River in the province of Ontario.
Day 4: Niagara Falls. Included sightseeing and cruise.
The power of Mother Nature overwhelms the senses as you marvel at Niagara Falls, one of the world's most incredible natural spectacles. In the morning our included sightseeing tour will give you spectacular views of the waterfalls from scenic points on the rim of the gorge and from the decks of the 'Maid of the Mist', where you will experience the thundering columns of water up close. The afternoon is free, so why not hop aboard the People Mover (local transport) and visit attractions such as the Butterfly Conservatory, Great Gorge Adventure, Botanical Gardens, Niagara Parks Greenhouse or ride the aerial cable car?
