Itinerary
1. Day
New York to Boston
From the Big Apple to Beantown. Two tantalizing cities, four fabulous East Coast states, and a
coach load of Contiki clients all adds up to a whole lot of fun! We'll glance at the lifestyles of
the rich and famous as we drive by some of Newport, Rhode Island's summer mansions.
"Everybody knows your name" in historic and eclectic, Boston, Massachusetts. See the major
sights before settling in and getting to know each other over dinner at our hotel.
2. Day
Boston
Cheers, Everyone! Hang out with the brains at Harvard University, roll up to the "Cheers" bar,
walk in the footsteps of great Americans, savour the sights and smells of Quincy Marketplace
and Fanueil Hall, or just hop on and off the optional trolley tour around this amazing town.
With more universities than any other U.S. city, there is plenty of nightlife for you to discover.
3. Day
Boston to Quebec City
Later, U.S.A. Bonjour Canada! France meets North America in the French speaking province
of Quebec. After driving through Stephen King territory, the state of Maine, you'll cross over
the border into Canada and continue to the unique Quebec City - the only walled city in North
America. Brush up on your French over dinner tonight in the heart of downtown Quebec.
4. Day
Quebec City
You'll fall under Quebec City's spell during a guided tour of the Old City, the cradle of French
civilization in North America. Soak up Quebec's "joie de vivre" attitude this afternoon with free
time to wander the cool cafés and windy streets. Enjoy a breathtaking view of Quebec by
joining us for an optional dinner in the city's only revolving restaurant.
5. Day
Quebec City to Montreal
Ooooh La La! Montréal is hip and happening with all the culture, sophistication, and cafes as
the city of Paris, France. Your road crew will show you all the highlights of this charismatic
place during a city tour.
6. Day
Montreal to Toronto
You'll know why it's called the Thousand Islands as we wander alongside this area of the
lovely St. Lawrence River Valley. For a closer look, take an optional boat cruise and check it
out. Then we're on our way to Canada's largest city and a spot with international flair Toronto. An afternoon sightseeing tour will introduce you to the fabulous city. Join us tonight
for dinner and then a night out on the town.
7. Day
Toronto
The sky's the limit! Feel the global groove of this city by visiting its diverse neighborhoods and
shopping areas. If you are game, catch an optional tour of Toronto's baseball stadium, Rogers
Centre, or get your adrenaline going by zooming up the world's tallest freestanding structure,
the CN Tower.
8. Day
Toronto to Niagara Falls
Wet & Wild. Throw on a blue rain poncho and get wet at the base of Niagara Falls on the
"Maid of the Mist" boat cruise. If that isn't enough, perhaps you'd like a bird's eye view of it all
on an optional helicopter ride. Still not done? See Niagara Falls lit up at night after dinner with
your Contiki mates.
9. Day
Niagara Falls to Cleveland
I Love Rock N' Roll! Get your passports ready as we cruise back into the "Good Old U.S.A."
and rock on over to Cleveland, Ohio with a visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jam with
your Contiki friends tonight at one of downtown Cleveland's nightspots.
10. Day
Cleveland to Chicago
Sweet Home, Chicago! This city is great - awesome architecture, raw blues, cosmopolitan
shopping, and hot bars. After the road crew introduces you to this cool place with a
sightseeing tour, why not enjoy a night out on the town?
11. Day
Chicago
Catch a birds eye view of the city on top of the world's tallest building, sink your teeth into
Chicago's famous thick crust pizza, or ponder the glories of this city's smart museums - today
is your day to get out there and blow through this "Windy City." Meet up with your touring
buddies for another night of fun in America's third largest city.
