Welcome to the beginning of an unforgettable journey. From the very first moment, the city begins to whisper promises of discovery and wonder. Transfer to your hotel and accommodation, allowing you to settle in comfortably and start feeling the rhythm of your destination.

In the afternoon, you will enjoy free time to take your first strolls, observe local life, and let yourself be guided by curiosity. This is the perfect moment for an unplanned walk, a quiet coffee break, or simply to watch how the city transforms as the day goes by. Every corner holds a story, and today you begin writing your own.

As the afternoon unfolds, you will receive detailed information regarding the start of your circuit, either during an informative meeting or through notices displayed at the hotel reception. With everything clearly organized, you can relax and look forward to the experiences ahead.

Curious fact: many great journeys begin with a gentle first day, designed to help both body and imagination awaken.

Greca Tip: Make the most of your first night to rest well—tomorrow, your adventure truly begins.

We begin the morning enjoying breakfast before heading out to discover the energy that defines New York City. Today’s panoramic tour allows us to understand why this metropolis has shaped finance, culture and global imagination for over a century. We explore Upper, Middle and Lower Manhattan, tracing the city’s evolution from colonial port to modern icon. In the financial district, Wall Street reflects the pulse of global markets, while the grandeur of Rockefeller Center and the neo-Gothic elegance of St. Patrick's Cathedral reveal another layer of ambition and faith. We continue along Central Park, the city’s green sanctuary, and through neighborhoods such as Greenwich Village and Little Italy, each preserving its distinct character. From Battery Park, we admire the symbolic silhouette of the Statue of Liberty.

As night falls, we head to Times Square with an included transfer, where Broadway lights and urban rhythm create an unforgettable atmosphere.

We make our way back to the hotel to relax and prepare for tomorrow’s experiences.

Greca Tip: Manhattan’s grid plan, established in 1811, was designed to support rapid growth—one reason the city expanded so efficiently northward over time.

The morning begins with a sense of history: today you will walk through the places where a nation was born.

We depart for Philadelphia and stop at Independence National Historical Park, one of the most symbolic sites in American history. Here you will see the famous Liberty Bell, an enduring emblem of freedom whose ringing marked key moments in the 18th century. Its iconic crack, rather than diminishing its value, has made it one of the country’s most recognizable symbols.

We then continue to Washington D.C., the capital of the United States and seat of the federal government. Around afternoon we will arrive to our hotel.

In the evening, we include a night transfer to Georgetown, the liveliest neighborhood in the city. Its cobblestone streets, historic architecture, and vibrant atmosphere make it the perfect setting to enjoy bars and restaurants.

Greca Tip: Wear comfortable shoes in Georgetown; its charming cobblestone streets are beautiful — but part of the walk.

After breakfast, prepare for an inspiring day in the political heart of the United States, where each monument tells a defining chapter of the nation’s story.

In the morning, we begin a panoramic city tour of Washington D.C. En route, we see the Pentagon and make a photo stop at the Iwo Jima Memorial, both located in Virginia, honoring soldiers who shaped key moments of the 20th century. We continue with stops at the Lincoln, Korean, and Vietnam Memorials, powerful and symbolic landmarks. We visit the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, a major cultural institution. We then stop for photos at the White House and drive alongside the Capitol, ending in the museum district.

In the afternoon, we include a boat ride on the Potomac River, offering unique views of the city’s main landmarks. Return to the hotel.

In the evening, you may join an optional Washington by night tour. (To purchase the tickets, please consult your tour guide on the same day).

With lasting impressions from the day, we return to the hotel for the night.

Note: The Potomac River boat does not operate from October to March due to weather conditions.

Greca Tip: Make sure your camera is fully charged; the memorials are especially striking when beautifully illuminated.

After breakfast, we leave the capital behind and head into a rural landscape that feels as though time has stood still.

In the morning, we depart for Lancaster, in the heart of Pennsylvania, home to one of the largest Amish communities in the United States. Along the way, you will observe their characteristic farms, where daily life unfolds with simplicity, without modern technology, and in keeping with traditions dating back to the 18th century. Horse-drawn buggies and carefully cultivated fields create a striking contrast to the fast pace of major cities.

We stop en route for lunch before continuing toward New York. As we approach, the quiet countryside gradually gives way to the unmistakable skyline of the metropolis.

Arrival at the hotel towards the end of the afternoon to rest and get ready for another day full of experiences.

Greca Tip: Keep your camera ready while passing through Lancaster; the rural scenery offers truly authentic and memorable views.

In the morning, you will enjoy a tasty breakfast and then you will be transferred to New York airport, where your tour will come to an end.

Undoubtedly, having spending a few fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you again soon to create more memorable moments that will be etched in your memory forever.

Have a nice trip!
