Depart from NYC in the morning to walk along the historical cobblestone streets along Independence Mall State Park. See the now silent Liberty Bell echoing history in its newly renovated home at the Liberty Bell Center. Stroll through the centuries old Independence Hall and Congress Hall, the foundation for modern democracy and the birthplace of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. (If you choose the pickup location in Washington D.C., you may miss Philadelphia). From Philadelphia, we continue to explore America's modern day history in Washington D.C. by touring Capitol Hill, the Senate Building and the White House. We will also visit the Natural History Museum (optional), the Air and Space Museum before heading to the Lincoln, Jefferson, and Vietnam Memorials. We will also tour the Korean War Veterans Memorial.

From Washington D.C., we head to Corning Glass Center, a showcase for the entire process of glassmaking. You will witness firsthand craftsman and artisans handily working superheated glass into delicate decorative pieces. At the conclusion of the tour, you will have the opportunity to purchase an artistic piece for yourself. Afterwards, we depart for American portion of Niagara Falls, to see the majestic views of nature up close. It is important to note that no one has ever dared to conquer the American Falls in a barrel- all daredevils have concentrated on the Canadian Falls due to its larger water flow and fewer dangerous rocks.

We continue our sightseeing in Niagara Falls - consisting of the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls. We may also take a boat-ride on the Maid of the Mist (seasonal) where you can "soak" in the excitement and power of the Falls. You are sure to take home souvenir photos and videos for family and friends back home of the spectacular views. We will also head to the IMAX Theatre Niagara Falls (optional) where you can become a daredevil, witness Niagara Falls' incredible stories, and see the most complete collection of barrels that have fallen down the mighty Falls. The tour then departs for New York City for an evening arrival.
