Day 1 : Start New York

Accommodation : Moxy NYC Times Square (multi-share) (or similar)
Day 3 : New York
We have a free day to explore and there's still one bit of the city we haven't seen - Central Park. And what better way than with a bike tour? Or maybe you'd like to take a tour of the LGBTQ+ historical hotspots in the city! In the evening, you'll have the chance to catch a breathtaking Manhattan sunset (from a yacht!) and cheers to what's been an incredible start, but there's still plenty more to come!

Day 4 : New York to Philadelphia
Well NYC, we came, we saw, we conquered. Next stop Philly! But not before a true American style diner breakfast - we're talking unlimited coffee and pancakes the size of your head. Taking the Amtrak (train) down to Philadelphia will have us arriving early afternoon. That's plenty of time to walk through historic Philly and admire all the landmarks that make this city famous, including the LOVE Monument and the Liberty Bell. Feeling thirsty? Why not join a tour of The Yards brewery for some locally made refreshments? For dinner it's best to indulge in what this city is known for: Philly cheese steaks and whoopie pies!
Accommodation : Motto by Hilton (or similar)
Day 5 : Philadelphia to Washington DC
Today we head to the political capital of the USA, DC! Jumping back on the Amtrak will have us arriving in no time at all. Head out for a city tour of Washington DC, pointing out the White House, Capitol Building, the Washington Monument and National Mall. After checking in to tonight's accommodation, the night is yours - dinner, drinks, whatever you please!
Accommodation : The Generator Washington DC (or similar)
Day 6 : Washington DC
A full free day in DC to do it your way is upon you. Whether that means strolling the National Mall, exploring the Smithsonian, kayaking on the Potomac or checking out Union St Market. No matter what you do, remember to keep some space in your tummy for a delicious 'Brown Bag' lunch at DC Central Kitchen that supports a great cause.

Day 9 : Orlando to Miami
A morning coach ride out of Orlando into Miami means plenty of time to relax after a day full of adrenaline. Watch the coastline go by as we make it to our last stop. We'll get to Miami in the late afternoon, and then you're free to pass the time however you like. A dip in the warm Atlantic waters, perhaps? Or going for a stroll and taking in the epic architecture of South Beach? After a good old wander (or sunbathing sesh), we'll meet back in the evening for a mouthwatering Cuban feast.

Day 10 : End Miami
Time to say goodbye to your crew. It's been a blast, but all good things must come to an end. With our sun-kissed skin and eyes on the next horizon, it's time to plan our next Contiki. Peru, anyone?
