About this tour

Set out from New York for two days of landmark sights and dramatic natural scenery on a combined Niagara Falls, Washington, and Philadelphia tour. Round-trip motor coach transportation and a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking guide connect the destinations, while early departures make room for a full day of exploring.

At Niagara Falls, take in the three waterfalls from aboard the Maid of the Mist during its usual May-to-October season. When the cruise is unavailable, the itinerary may use accessible viewpoints such as Terrapin Point or other locations, depending on weather and access. On the second tour, discover Washington landmarks including the Lincoln Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial, the White House, and the U.S. Capitol, then see Philadelphia highlights such as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the Rocky Steps. The order of the tours is confirmed after booking, and itineraries may shift with traffic, road closures, or time constraints.

Choose this New York Niagara Falls and Washington tour for a convenient way to experience iconic sights across two memorable days. Bring comfortable shoes, plan for early starts, and get ready to see the region’s natural and historic highlights.

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 4.7.
