A five-day corridor of American highlights — from Manhattan’s boroughs to Washington’s monuments, through Corning’s glass studios and the thunderous edge of Niagara Falls. This guided tour packs landmarks, optional observatory and boat rides, and seasonal must-sees into a single, fast-moving itinerary.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the shuttle in Manhattan before dawn, the city already moving around you. Coffee shops hum, taxis thread through avenues, and the tour group's luggage slides into the coach like soldiers into formation. Over five days the city’s steel skyline gives way to river gorges and thunder: Philadelphia’s colonial squares and Washington’s marble monuments lead you north to Corning’s glass studios and, finally, the roar of Niagara Falls where water pushes the horizon into motion.
