Best of Niagara Falls, Canada and the Amish Country

Including David at the Sight & Sound Theatre

Day 1

TRAVEL TO PENNSYLVANIA:

Early this morning we leave North Carolina behind as we begin our week-long adventure to Niagara Falls and the Amish Country. We stop for lunch in the Beckley area before venturing into some of the most rugged and beautiful scenery in the country as we travel through the mountains of West Virginia. We overnight in Pennsylvania.
Day 2

NIAGARA FALLS • IMAX THEATER • DINNER - SKYLON TOWER:

This morning we travel through Pennsylvania and through Buffalo, New York, a city which owes much of its prosperity to the Erie Canal, before crossing the International Border into Niagara Falls, Ontario. This afternoon we will be mesmerized by the 7-story high, surround sound IMAX Theater, depicting the history, legend and daring escapades of the many daredevils who have tried to conquer these mighty waters. A delicious dinner is included tonight in the revolving restaurant high atop the Skylon Tower. After dinner you'll have some free time to explore the town of Niagara Falls on your own. Situated on the border between the U.S. and Canada, the combination of the American and Horseshoe Falls is truly a sight to behold. We spend the next two nights in Niagara Falls. (Option: Niagara Skywheel ride with breathtaking views of the Horseshoe & American Falls – $14 per person) (D)
Day 3

NIAGARA FALLS CITY TOUR • JOURNEY BEHIND THE FALLS • OPTIONAL HELICOPTER RIDE • HORNBLOWER NIAGARA:

A local guide joins us this morning for a tour of beautiful Niagara Falls, Ontario. We'll hear legends and tales of daring men and women who have braved the Falls in boats, on tight-ropes, and in barrels. We'll stop at one of the world's largest floral clocks, 40 feet in diameter and formed by more than 25,000 plants, before continuing to either the School of Horticulture, where students learn to produce incredible floral works of art, or the Niagara Parks Commission Greenhouse & Conservatory, which is especially beautiful when the flowers are at their peak. Our final stop will be the Journey Behind the Falls, where you can actually feel the thunderous power of the Falls as we don raincoats and ride down 125 feet by elevator to a spot just 25 feet above the level of the river. (Option: Have your cameras ready to record this incredible natural wonder from high in the air. This afternoon you'll have the opportunity for the experience of a lifetime, to fasten your seatbelt and lift off for an exciting helicopter ride over Niagara Falls!) Late this afternoon we experience the Falls from a different perspective as we wriggle into our raincoats once again for a ride aboard the legendary Hornblower Niagara to the very base of the Falls. The power of the tumbling, cascading water is simply unbelievable!
Day 4

LANCASTER • AMISH DINNER:

We're a little wistful as we leave Niagara Falls behind this morning. It's easy to understand why so many people return again and again to see this unforgettable sight! Today's travels take us back into Pennsylvania. Around lunch time we catch up to the mighty Susquehanna River, which we'll follow nearly to our overnight destination of Lancaster for a 2-night stay. We enjoy a delicious Amish farm feast, complete with pass-the-platter meats, vegetables, breads, and desserts. (D)
Day 5

AMISH COUNTRY TOUR • DAVID AT SIGHT & SOUND THEATRE:

This morning we meet our local guide as we begin a day of sightseeing in the Pennsylvania Amish country. We'll seem to travel back in time to an era when life was simpler, lived at a slower pace. The Amish today live much as their ancestors did. The children still walk to one-room school houses and families still travel to town by way of horse and buggy. Next we stop at Kitchen Kettle where you'll have time for lunch and shopping in their unique shops. This afternoon we take our seats for “David.” As a master poet, fearless warrior, & anointed King, David's ascent to the throne is filled with towering giants, wild animals and Philistine soldiers. Experience one of the most riveting Bible stories as it comes to life with magnificent sets, special effects, and live animals in this original stage production from Sight & Sound Theatres. (D)
Day 6

HOME:

This morning we continue our journey home, but what a wonderful week together this has been!
