Description
Turn travel between Washington, D.C. and New York City into a sightseeing experience rather than a simple transfer. This one-way journey combines comfortable transportation, guided commentary, and historic stops that highlight the story of America’s political and urban development.
Depart Washington, D.C. aboard a comfortable vehicle as your guide shares insight into the regions you pass. The first major stop is Philadelphia, a cornerstone of the nation’s founding. Visit Independence National Historical Park, including Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell area, and walk through the birthplace of American democracy.
The journey continues to New York City, where guests may end their trip or enhance it with optional sightseeing. The NYC Fortune Tour explores the city’s financial and cultural roots, featuring landmarks such as the Canyon of Heroes, Woolworth Building, Federal Hall, Trinity Church, and the New York Stock Exchange. The tour continues through Midtown, passing Rockefeller Center, the Diamond District, Fifth Avenue, and Times Square.
For a memorable finale, guests can opt for the NYC Night Tour, showcasing illuminated landmarks like Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Fifth Avenue, and Times Square, before ending at a New Jersey observation point with panoramic views of Manhattan’s skyline.
