Day 3 ‘New York, New York’, so good they named it twice! A full day in the fabulous city.

Day 6 Today we offer a fascinating full-day tour to colonial Williamsburg, taking you back to see what life was like in the 18th century. This is an outdoor recreation where you can step back in time to the eve of the American Revolution, with more than 500 restored and reconstructed buildings spread across 301 acres of land.
Day 7 Morning journey to Washington, D.C., here we include a short optional sightseeing tour, including the White House and Capitol Building. Late afternoon, transfer to the airport for the return overnight flight to the UK.
Day 8 Arrival in the UK.
Fall Colours: as this tour covers quite a distance between Boston, MA, and as far south as Washington, D.C., it is likely passengers travelling on earlier dates will see more red/brown foliage in the north, whilst further south trees may still be green. Later departures will see more red/brown leaves turning in the southern spots whilst in the north the trees will have less leaves.
