20 Day ItineraryDAY 1 – SATURDAY 10 SEPTEMBERAUCKLAND – NEW YORKToday we meet at Auckland Airport late afternoon for the start of our journey.

DAY 2 – SUNDAY 11 SEPTEMBERNEW YORK CITY. Welcome to the “Big Apple”! Enjoy today at your own pace to adjust to the time difference or explore this vibrant city. This afternoon we meet our Tour Director who will be on hand to answer questions. In the evening we have a special GrownUps welcome dinner..

DAY 3 – MONDAY 12 SEPTEMBERNEW YORK CITY-BOSTON. This morning, on the included sightseeing tour with a local expert, visit Broadway, the Empire State Building, Greenwich Village, Chinatown, City Hall, Wall Street, and Trinity Church. This afternoon, head for Boston-the “Cradle of American Liberty.” Visit its historic landmarks, reflecting the important part it has played in the history of the United States.

DAY 4 – TUESDAY 13 SEPTEMBER BOSTON. On your morning guided tour of Boston, see Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church (where Paul Revere was signalled for the departure of British troops to Lexington), the Freedom Trail, and Boston Common. The afternoon is free to explore on your own. This evening, why not join your travelling companions for dinner at a popular downtown restaurant?

DAY 5 – WEDNESDAY 14 SEPTEMBER BOSTON-QUEBEC CITY AREA. Journey through New Hampshire, passing the State Capitol at Concord and on to the scenic White Mountains. Continue to the Canadian border, where you’ll notice a change in language and tradition as you enter the French-Canadian province of Quebec. Overnight in historic Quebec City on the banks of the St. Lawrence River.

DAY 6 – THURSDAY 15 SEPTEMBER QUEBEC CITY AREA. This morning, join your travelling companions on a unique optional excursion to the Erabliere Chemin du Roy (Path of the King Sugar Shack). Visitors to the sugar cabin will enjoy a typical Quebec breakfast, along with

a guided visit and presentation to explain the process of maple extraction. Afterward, return to Quebec City for a guided tour of Canada’s only walled city, crowned by the turrets of Chateau Frontenac. Until the British victory of 1759, Old Quebec was the centre of New France; today, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within the walls reside the Place d’Armes, Laval Seminary, the star-plan Citadelle with grand vistas from its bastions, and ancient Place Royale. See the Old World houses crowding narrow streets in Lower Town and the historic Plains of Abraham, where General Wolfe stormed the slopes. The afternoon is at leisure.

Home of Expo `67 and the 1976 Summer Olympics, included sightseeing includes St. Joseph’s Oratory, the lookout atop Mount Royal, once-walled Old Montreal, Notre Dame Church, the Seminary of St. Sulpice, built by the first missionary settlers, and modern Montreal.

DAY 8 – SATURDAY 17 SEPTEMBER MONTREAL-OTTAWA. Drive west to Ottawa, Canada’s beautiful capital. City sightseeing includes Parliament Hill with its gothic buildings, the Canadian Mint, the Rideau Canal, the hexagonal National Arts Centre, and stately residences and embassies. With the free afternoon you could visit the Canadian Museum of History, with panoramic views of Parliament Hill across the Ottawa River.

DAY 9 – SUNDAY 18 SEPTEMBER OTTAWA-KINGSTON-TORONTO. Trace the Rideau Canal south to the amazing Thousand Islands National Park. Enjoy many wooded islands along the St. Lawrence River, sprinkled with beautifully simple to opulent summer homes on your included SCENIC CRUISE.

DAY 10 – MONDAY 19 SEPTEMBER TORONTO. Setting Toronto’s exciting architectural pace are City Hall; the downtown banking district; Roger’s Centre; and stunning CN Tower, more than 536 metres high (a third of a mile). See all this and more on your morning city sightseeing tour. Then, spend the rest of the day exploring the city sights on your own, including Harbourfront, Ontario Place, and Chinatown.

Just as the world is wonderfully diverse, so too is the way you can experience it and we are working with GrownUps in 2016 to introduce a value packed GrownUps group holiday at down-to-earth prices. As a part of the Globus family of brands, Cosmos is backed by more than 85 years’ experience in planning itineraries and guiding holidays around the world. As experts in travel, we endeavour to offer the most affordable travel packages to the world’s most captivating places, combining the freedom of an independent holiday with the benefits of group travel.

Join us on this grand GrownUps adventure and journey through the north-eastern parts of the US and Canada. You’ll travel with like-minded members from the GrownUps community and create life-long memories and friendships as you visit vibrant cities, historic towns and pass through the stunning countryside as the Fall colours start to show (weather dependent). Travel with peace of mind that someone will be with you the whole way through the journey, making it a perfect opportunity for those travelling alone or who want the benefit of sharing this experience with others.
