ITINERARY

Day 1
ONE IF BY LAND, TWO IF BY SEA. Retrace the route of Paul Revere’s legendary midnight ride in 1775. Visit the Old North Church, the site of the famous lantern signal that alerted citizens to the arrival of British troops by sea. Also see Lexington, where Revere warned prominent leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock to leave the city

Day 2
MANGIAMO! Pasta, cannoli, and chianti! Long considered a melting pot for culture and cuisine, New York is home to the largest Italian-American population in North America; more than four million Italians immigrated to the US between 1880-1924. Don’t miss the chance to indulge in one of New York’s authentic Italian restaurants still serving the best family recipes from The Old Country

Day 3
ACCOMMODATION SPOTLIGHT Check in to a monumental hotel in the heart of D.C. on prestigious Sixteenth Street for an unforgettable stay at the Capital Hilton. A member of Historic Hotels of America, it stands as one of Washington’s most celebrated hotels—having hosted prominent gatherings with presidents, dignitaries, celebrities, and history makers. Formerly the Statler Hotel, the hotel became the affinity of U.S. Presidents and notable guests from Lucille Ball to Judy Garland; Winston Churchill to Martin Luther King, Jr. to Queen Elizabeth II – and now you!

Day 4
ICONIC FOOTSTEPS Witness the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a symbolic site for heroes whose remains were not recovered or identified. Stand at the moving site where soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) steadfastly guard the tomb 24-hours a day, 365 days a year.
