TCS Roadtravel

- Tour colonial towns, estates, and gardens.
- Visit the National Aquarium and waterfront in Baltimore.
- Cruise down the Jersey shoreline on your way back to New York.
The Northeast has been the gateway to America for over 300 years. On this journey along the coast from New York to DC and back, you’ll travel through the cities, neighbourhoods, and foundations on which America was built. This trip is like an active storybook of American history. You’ll visit some of the oldest things in the whole country – like the oldest continuously occupied street and the oldest operating saloon. Philadelphia will take you into the room where America began at Independence Hall. Baltimore will bring you to its historic seaport, where ships have been sailing since the 17th century. Washington DC will bring you to the most iconic monuments and national landmarks that represent the past and present of America.
While you travel and breathe through America's legacy with each major city, you’ll also stop at the towns in between, like Princeton, Wilmington, and Annapolis. These stops fill in the gaps missing from your visits to the major cities. The beautiful, historic towns lying on the outskirts will prove to you that there is magic in the in-between. Gardens, colonial-era estates, shores, and a little respite from the hustle and bustle will all be found on the roads less travelled.
Note: This route stops at the Washington National Monument, which, if you would like to take a tour to the top, requires booking 30 days in advance.
