New York to Miami

Welcome to what is sure to be an amazing ten days. Kicking off the day, you'll meet your Trip Manager and fellow travellers. Next up, a day of exploring Manhattan. We're talking Hudson Yards, the Highline, a ride on the public ferry to check out the Statue of Liberty, and a visit to the site of the World Trade Centre.

It's time to head across the bridge and get exploring Brooklyn. Made famous by Girls, Gossip Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, this borough is the real deal.

We'll head out of Manhattan this morning to the Bronx to learn about the Green Bronx Machine. A non-profit introducing initiatives into schools all around the world, to help marginalised communities. Get a tour, and hear about the health programs and the good they're doing for neighbourhoods in the city. This afternoon, there's still one bit of the city we haven't seen - Central Park. And what better way than with a bike tour? Tonight get a final view over the city from the Empire State Building, and cheers to what's been an incredible start, but there's still plenty more to come!

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. Your Trip Manager will take you on a walk through historic Philly, pointing out some of the landmarks that makes this city famous, including the LOVE Monument and the Liberty Bell, it's going to be a cracking good time. For dinner, why not try what the city is famous for - Philly Cheese steak and whoopie pies. The perfect spot for all this? Reading Terminal Market.

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.
Your Trip Manager will give you 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!

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. Our recommendation - lunch at the fish markets. Get a taste of the citys seafood the same way the locals do. Tonight's dinner is a nod to the city's history, and the perfect opportunity to reunite with the group and hear about everyone's day.

Heading out this morning, we'll make our way to Atlanta. Famous for peaches, southern hospitality and some of the nations greatest sporting teams, there's something for everyone here.
Get orientated with the city, before getting the chance to explore on foot and get an idea of how you're going to spend your free day tomorrow. Talk it over with the crew at tonights Free Time Add-On dinner, a true Southern meal at Mary's Mac's Tearoom, one of the last standing tearooms in the city. Apart from sweet tea, picture fried chicken and Georgia peach cobbler. Doesn't get anymore Atlanta than that!

A day to do Atlanta at your own pace with your included 'Breeze' transit pass. Visit the MLK National Historical Park first up then taste a Georgian delicacy...the peach cobbler donut. Then perhaps take to the skies on the Skyview Atlanta or stay on the ground at the World of Coca Cola, CNN Studios, National Centre for Civil and Human Rights, College Football Hall of Fame & Mercedes Benz Stadium or go underwater at the Georgia Aquarium. Maybe end your day with dinner at the Old Lady Gang southern eatery owned by one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

A morning flight out of Atlanta into Miami means plenty of time to check out in this beachside city.
Transfer from the airport but with a difference. Stop at Wynwood Walls (an urban graffiti art park) then on to Calle Ocho for a short walk and to grab some lunch. Maybe have a cuban sandwich and a cafe cubano as you soak up the vibes of Little Havana. After check in and some free time, you can choose to get out on the water for sunset and champagne.

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?
