What's this trip about?

    An epic blend of the peace and calm of the New England countryside, the mojo of East Coast giants New York and Boston, the cultural extravaganza of the south from Nashville to New Orleans, and the energy of Florida… This is what you will find in the 20-day trip to the Grand East of the USA. Step back in time in the beautiful and culture-laden Amish countryside and let the hidden pockets of history unravel before your eyes in New England’s myriad attractions. Go beyond the US and dive into the cityscapes of Canada, with three days in Québec, Montréal, and Toronto. In the heart of the east, Nashville, Memphis, and New Orleans will sweep you off your feet with more culture and sophistication than you can handle. And, there is no better way to end a trip than three thrilling days in the sunshine state, of Florida.
