Itinerary

Day 01
New York

New York - Princeton University - Philadelphia - Washington, D.C.

Hotel: Comfort Inn, MD / Days Inn, MD or similar

In the morning, we will visit Princeton University, one of the prestigious Ivy League universities in United States. A guided campus tour will give our guests the opportunity to know more about American education culture (admission not included).

Then we will head to the National Independence Historical Park in Philadelphia. While walking on the cobblestone streets, it seems that you could still hear the rings by the Liberty Bell, which has witnessed the founding history of America. Independence Hall (exterior, reverse side of $100 bill), is the birthplace of American modern democracy, where the Declaration of the Independence and the Constitution was debated and adopted. Next we will visit One Liberty Observation Deck (admission not included), which is the only observation deck in Philadelphia. Guests will stand on the shoulder of Philadelphia's 'giant', Benjamin Franklin, to see the historic city through a splendid 360-degree view.

In the afternoon, we will head to Washington D.C., and visit the Madame Tussands in Washington D.C. which is the only attraction you can get close to the “44 presidents” of US (admission not included).

Next, we will visit the White House (exterior only). We will also visit the U.S. Department of Treasury (exterior only), Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial and Vietnam War Memorial. Lincoln Memorial is built in recognition of the great efforts of President Abraham Lincoln for American human rights, and the famous speech “I Have a Dream” by Martin Luther King Jr. took place right outside Lincoln Memorial.

Due the early sunset during winter time, we will visit Lincoln Memorial after dusk.

Tips:
If you choose to be picked up in Philadelphia, you will miss the Princeton University tour.
