We’ve selected some highlights of New York such as heading up the Empire State Building and visiting the 9/11 Memorial. Then head up to Boston to explore significant historical events that have shaped America today.

Walk the Freedom Trail to visit the important sites and then have the chance to visit Salem, home to America’s famous witch trials! You’ll also be able to visit the world-renowned Harvard University and find out what it’s like to be a student at one of the best universities in the world!
