Where possible we will keep the group together and try to accommodate couples; however twin rooms cannot be guaranteed. A sleeping bag is not required on this trip.

In New York, we are now using the Hilton Newark Airport as our gateway and all tours will now depart and end at this property. The Hilton hotel offers full facilities including restaurant, bar, exercise room/spa and direct rail transportation in to central Manhattan. If you have previously booked accommodation with TrekAmerica, your booking will be transferred to this new hotel.

• Day: 1 New York Area & Buffalo

  Famous for getting LOTS of snow and as the birthplace of spicy-hot chicken wings, Buffalo is a waterfront city situated on the eastern shores of Lake Erie. As the second largest city in New York State, there is a thriving music scene, culinary culture and late night clubbing on West Chippewa Street.
  Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Day: 2 Toronto

  Glimpse the crashing Niagara Falls and make the last few paces into Canada across nearby Rainbow Bridge. No freestanding structure on earth stands taller than the CN Tower, so get up and gawp down over this pretty city by Lake Ontario. Browse trendy stores and cosy cafes on College and Queens Street, and don't be too surprised to see an A-lister: TO (that's Toronto, Ontario) is Canada's answer to Hollywood.
  Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Day: 3-4 Montreal

  With more French speakers than anywhere outside of Paris, expect a little European flair. Museums, galleries, eateries and clubs mix a cocktail of the best bits from both continents. Don't miss out on the "Underground City" including 30km devoted to all things retail, or adventurous jet-boating!
  Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Day: 5-6 Stowe

  During the winter, this 'Ski Capital of the East' puts on an incredible winter spread, but remains a highlight during summer months with hiking, biking and swimming within the same mountain range. Stowe isn't complete without a stop by the Ben and Jerrry's ice cream factory! You Chunky Monkey!
  Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Day: 7-8 Boston

  Here in 'Beantown' relive the revolution along the Freedom Trail and explore Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall. Later perhaps a bite to eat in an Italian North End trattoria, a seasonal brew in an authentic Irish pub and your best dance moves in a lively, late-night hangout.
  Accommodation: Budget Lodging included

• Day: 9 Boston & New York Area

  We head back towards the 'City that never sleeps'. This tour is not scheduled to spend any time in New York City so make sure you book extra hotel nights and explore the sights and sounds of the Big Apple on your own. Splurge along Fifth Ave, hit the top of the Empire State Building, or soak up the trendy, laidback vibe of Greenwich Village before heading home. Now, that's what you call a storybook ending.
  
  This tour ends at our gateway hotel at approximately 17:00 hrs. We can book you post-tour accommodation at our gateway hotel if required. If you are planning to fly tonight, please do not book a flight that departs before 21:00 hrs.
  
  Note: This tour uses budget hostels chosen for their proximity to city centres. Rooms will be dormitory-style multi-share with separate quarters for men and women. All hostels provide a blanket and pillow so a sleeping bag is not required on this tour.

• Day: 10-11 New York (NEW YEAR SPECIAL DEPARTURE)

  Our 22nd Dec 2012 departure will spend 2 extra nights in New York at the end of the trip, finishing on 1st January. The extra nights will be in a centrally located hostel and the group will use public transport.
