We'll glance at the lifestyles of the rich and famous as we drive by some of Newport, Rhode Island's summer mansions. "Everybody knows your name" in historic and eclectic, Boston, Massachusetts. See the major sights before settling in and getting to know each other over dinner at our hotel.

Boston (1 Days)
Cheers, Everyone! Hang out with the brains at Harvard University, roll up to the "Cheers" bar, walk in the footsteps of great Americans, savour the sights and smells of Quincy Marketplace and Fanueil Hall, or just hop on and off the optional trolley tour around this amazing town. With more universities than any other U.S. city, there is plenty of nightlife for you to discover.

Boston to Quebec City (1 Days)
Later, U.S.A. Bonjour Canada! France meets North America in the French speaking province of Quebec. After driving through Stephen King territory, the state of Maine, you'll cross over the border into Canada and continue to the unique Quebec City - the only walled city in North America. Brush up on your French over dinner tonight in the heart of downtown Quebec.

Quebec City (1 Days)
You'll fall under Quebec City's spell during a guided tour of the Old City, the cradle of French civilization in North America. Soak up Quebec's "joie de vivre" attitude this afternoon with free time to wander the cool cafés and windy streets. Enjoy a breathtaking view of Quebec by joining us for an optional dinner in the city's only revolving restaurant.

Quebec City to Montreal (1 Days)
Ooooh La La! Montréal is hip and happening with all the culture, sophistication, and cafes as the city of Paris, France. Your road crew will show you all the highlights of this charismatic place during a city tour.

Montreal to Toronto (1 Days)
You'll know why it's called the Thousand Islands as we wander alongside this area of the lovely St. Lawrence River Valley. For a closer look, take an optional boat cruise and check it out. Then we're on our way to Canada's largest city and a spot with international flair - Toronto. An afternoon sightseeing tour will introduce you to the fabulous city. Join us tonight for dinner and then a night out on the town.

Toronto (1 Days)
The sky's the limit! Feel the global groove of this city by visiting its diverse neighborhoods and shopping areas. If you are game, catch an optional tour of Toronto's baseball stadium, Rogers Centre, or get your adrenaline going by zooming up the world's tallest freestanding structure, the CN Tower.

Toronto to Niagara Falls (1 Days)
Wet & Wild. Throw on a blue rain poncho and get wet at the base of Niagara Falls on the "Maid of the Mist" boat cruise. If that isn't enough, perhaps you'd like a bird's eye view of it all on an optional helicopter ride. Still not done? See Niagara Falls lit up at night after dinner with your Contiki mates.

Niagara Falls to Cleveland (1 Days)
I Love Rock N' Roll! Get your passports ready as we cruise back into the "Good Old U.S.A." and rock on over to Cleveland, Ohio with a visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jam with your Contiki friends tonight at one of downtown Cleveland's nightspots.

Cleveland to Chicago (1 Days)
Sweet Home, Chicago! This city is great - awesome architecture, raw blues, cosmopolitan shopping, and hot bars. After the road crew introduces you to this cool place with a sightseeing tour, why not enjoy a night out on the town?

Chicago at leisure (1 Days)
Catch a birds eye view of the city on top of the world's tallest building, sink your teeth into Chicago's famous thick crust pizza, or ponder the glories of this city's smart museums - today is your day to get out there and blow through this "Windy City." Meet up with your touring buddies for another night of fun in America's third largest city.
