About this tour
Set out from New York for three days of American history and dramatic scenery, from Philadelphia’s independence landmarks to Washington, D.C.’s monumental avenues and Niagara Falls’ thundering waters. This New York City Washington, D.C., Niagara Falls & Philadelphia 3-Day Tour combines round-trip transportation with two hotel nights, so you can cover more ground without planning each leg yourself.

Choose an optional night tour to see the falls illuminated after dark. On day three, an optional Classic Tour can include Whirlpool Park, the Cave of the Winds, and a seasonal choice between Maid of the Mist in summer and Old Fort Niagara in cooler months, before the return journey to New York.
Tour options determine which attractions and tours are included, so check your selection before booking. Choose this New York City Washington, D.C., Niagara Falls & Philadelphia 3-Day Tour for a varied East Coast getaway, with expert guidance and time to take in the sights.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 25% in New York City means it ranks in the top 25% of tours in New York City by this score.
