Classic East Tour Itinerary
Day 1 - UK / Toronto
Take to the air in a trans- Atlantic flight to Toronto from the UK. You are met
on arrival in Canada and transfer is arranged to your hotel.
Hotel: Courtyard by Marriott
Day 2 - Toronto
With a full day and night to enjoy Toronto's highlights, plan your day at leisure with as
much or as little as you like. The revitalized waterfront is home to Queen's Quay for high
end shopping or the Harbourfront Centre, a large cultural center occupying ten acres of former
industrial land including an old power plant that is now a gallery. This cosmopolitan city also
boasts a theatre district, second only to Broadway or London. You may be lucky enough to get
theatre tickets or enjoy the atmosphere of a lively music bar.
Hotel: Courtyard by Marriott
Day 3 - Toronto
You’ll have no trouble filling a thrilling day in this thriving city, though optional tours
are available to help you make the most of every minute. A handy ‘lie-of-the-land’ optional
tour takes you to landmarks including the Dominion Center, Casa Loma Castle, Commerce Court
and the Old and New City Halls, and makes a good orientation tour for individual exploration.
Inveterate shoppers, gourmets and gourmands should head for the glass dome of Eaton Place,
sheltering a cornucopia of eateries and emporiums. Those with a good head for heights shouldn’t
miss the chance to take a trip to the top of the CN Tower, the tallest free standing structure in
the world. For a meal with mood food and a view, try the stylish bars and restaurants along the
waterfront. And for a taste of Toronto both timeless and futuristic, stroll through the city’s Maple
Leaf Gardens then see the awesome architecture of the Skydome Stadium. Whatever you want, you’ve got
it in Canada’s most upbeat city.
Hotel: Courtyard by Marriott
Day 4 - Toronto / Niagara Falls
It’s a change of scene and tempo today as we leave the busy metropolis and follow the shoreline
of Lake Ontario en route to one of North America’s most famous natural landmarks, Niagara Falls.
The town, of the same name, boasts fine hotels and restaurants, gardens and a casino, and is our
base for a two night stay. There may be the chance today for an unforgettable extra dimension to
your holiday - an optional helicopter flight seeing trip above the Falls.
Hotel: Best Western Cairncroft
Day 5 - Niagara Falls
With a full day to enjoy the town and the Falls themselves, talk to your Tour Director about
the options open to you. It may be a spray-soaking sail on the Maid of the Mist, the best perspective
for the ultimate photo of the awesome horseshoe cascade, a visit to the IMAX theatre's presentation of
the region’s splendour, or a fun night of Canadian cuisine and entertainment at the “Oh Canada Eh” dinner
theatre.
Hotel: Best Western Cairncroft
Day 6 - Niagara Falls / Lancaster Area
We cross the international border into the USA today, travelling through charming countryside to the
heartland of the Amish ‘plain people’ in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Making a living off the land and
renowned for their handcrafted furniture and quilts, many of these communities shun even electricity in
the dedication to the simple life. We overnight in Lancaster, where your evening is at leisure.
Hotel: Lancaster Host
Day 7 - Lancaster Area / Washington DC
It’s a fairly short hop due south, today, to a whole different world. Our destination is the nation’s

interspersed with parks and monuments. We arrive here in the late afternoon for the final two nights
of the tour.
