UK - Washington DC

Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Washington DC, where we’ll stay for two nights.

Washington Marriott Georgetown (3.5-star)

Washington DC

This morning we enjoy a tour of the city starting at Washington’s cultural and political centre, the Mall. Dominated by the Capitol Building, the fine buildings are surrounded by two miles of graciously laid out gardens, at the end of which stands the beautiful Lincoln Memorial. A short stroll takes us to the home of every American President after George Washington, the White House.

This afternoon is free to explore at your leisure. This evening we’ll visit Georgetown, a fascinating community of exquisite homes, many belonging to the Washington elite.

We continue to Niagara this morning and, crossing the Canadian border, we’re faced with the natural wonder of Niagara Falls. On arrival, you’re free to discover the awe-inspiring Horseshoe and American Falls. The Falls can be viewed from the vantage point of the Skylon Tower, or from the underground tunnels that run behind the Falls. Or take a boat trip up close to the Falls to feel its refreshing spray on your face and hear its thundering waters.
