New York, Niagara Falls & Washington DC
9 DAYS FROM £895
Niagara was something else. We really experienced the power of nature at close hand on the Maid of the Mist boat ride. I really though that we were going right into the falls themselves, the wind and noise was terrific. See pics of us in our macs !
Philadelphia was only for one night but the Marriott Hotel we stayed in was exceptional. It was there that I experienced my favourite tipple of a marguerite served up in a pint glass together with an excellent Mexican meal.
On to Washington DC next. The memorials and Arlington Cemetary were very thought provoking and the memorial to the Korean War was eerie to say the least, see pic. Personally, I loved the Lincoln Memorial with the huge statue of Abe sat in his chair and also the place from where Martin Luther King gave his "I have a dream" speech.
Back to New York for the last two days and I must admit I could have spent a lot more time there. Loads to see and do and I really did not get enough retail therapy in for my liking. There were so many restaurants and bars to visit that we could not fit them all in.
Finally, we had an excellent tour guide in Hilary who was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited and the lady bus driver, Leda was brilliant.
All in all yet another fantastic holiday with many happy memories to bring home with us.
The Couriers and transport on the tour in the 1 st week were excellent as were the Hotel that were used. In addition, despite encountering Hurricane Jeanne in Florida, the arrangements that were made by our representative Ms Hilary Campbell-Johnson were outstanding. The extra night's accommodation and the re-arrangement of the flights following the closure of the airport were made without any fuss or worry to us, or indeed any extra expense. We felt very secure in the knowledge that we were with Archers.
Thank you for a wonderful stress-free holiday. We WILL be travelling with Archers again!
Everything was so well organised, we were taken care of superbly. Plenty of leg room with good service on the flights across the Atlantic. Excellently located and spotlessly clean hotels. No point in going into too much detail as the Archer's brochure and website do that very well.
This might amuse you…. When we reached Philadelphia we had just got into our room and the phone rang, a deep American voice said he was from reception and our luggage was there. I said our luggage is here. Five minutes later the man called again saying the cases with our name on had been opened and they contained fruit from Canada (which is illegal). I asked if I should go to reception. He said no, they would send security up to our room and would we have our cases open and our passports handy, I said certainly. Loud knocking on our door. I opened it to find a young man and his wife from our coach tour outside laughing their heads off. It is not printable what I said to them, we laughed about it for hours after. A great group of fellow travellers.
One thing I remember our tour guide Penny saying was "look at this sightseeing trip like taking a sip from a bottle of wine." I did. Thank you Archers for my bottle of Dom Perignon.

DAY 4: Niagara Falls. Included sightseeing and cruise.
The power of Mother Nature overwhelms the senses as you marvel at Niagara Falls, one of the world's most incredible natural spectacles. In the morning our included sightseeing tour will give you spectacular views of the waterfalls from scenic points on the rim of the gorge and from the decks of the 'Maid of the Mist', where you will experience the thundering columns of water up close. The afternoon is free, so why not hop aboard the People Mover (local transport) and visit attractions such as the Butterfly Conservatory, Great Gorge Adventure, Botanical Gardens, Niagara Parks Greenhouse or ride the aerial cable car?
