Road Trip Itinerary
3 Nights – Boston
2 Nights – Cape Cod
3 Nights – New York
3 Nights – Philadelphia
3 Nights – Washington DC
🚂 This itinerary also works great by rail. If you think you’d prefer this, speak to one of our consultant who can talk you through the options.
✈ UK – Boston (3 nights): After your flight from the UK, you will pick up your car and then have 3 nights to enjoy one of the oldest cities in the United States: Boston. As the site of some of the key events of the American Revolution, including The Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Bunker Hill, there’s plenty of history to take in as you stroll around the grand streets and big open spaces. The Freedom Trail is a must for history buffs, as is the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum. The city also has a legacy of art, culture and education, and Boston City Hall Galleries, Boston Open Studios and the Institute of Contemporary Art are all popular spots. Boston is also well known for its delicious restaurants and exciting nightlife.
🚗 Boston – Cape Cod (2 nights): From Boston you’ll drive onto the stunning coastal area of Cape Cod. Located on the hook-shaped peninsula in south-eastern Massachusetts, there are 15 main towns within the region. One of the most famous is Provincetown, which was the first anchorage of the pilgrims when they landed in 1620 and is marked out by a monument. Built between 1907 and 1910, it remains the tallest all-granite structure in the US. However, it is the iconic lighthouses and whitewashed villages it is known for. Spend time wandering the traditional streets and eating from the seafood shacks. If you go during peak season, you should use the opportunity to chill out on the beach or sail in the cape.
🚗 Cape Cod – New York (3 nights): After relaxing in Cape Cod, you’ll travel to the city that never sleeps. New York is a hustling, bustling metropolis that feels like a living, breathing entity. From the flashy stores on 5th Avenue to the hipster cafes of Greenwich Village, there’s an area to suit everyone. The identity of the city is multifaceted and to get a real feel of it you need to ensure you spend as much time exploring different districts and avenues as you do seeing the big name sites. The Empire State Building, Rock City and the Statue of Liberty shouldn’t be missed out either, so plan your time wisely. While you’re there take in a show on Broadway, sample some of the signature food (bagels, cheesecake and pizza) and relax with a Manhattan.
🚗 New York – Philadelphia (3 nights): After New York, you will continue your drive on to Philadelphia, the only World Heritage City in the US and is where the Founding Fathers would meet in the lead up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Often referred to as ‘The City of Brotherly Love’, it’s great for food, drink and history. Popular things to do include the Independence National Historic Park, the Reading Terminal Market and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. If you’re looking for some entertainment, try World Cafe Live. This is home to U Penn’s radio station and has jazz, folk and other musical acts playing regularly. There’s also good food on offer, all set in a former factory.
🚗 Philadelphia – Washington DC (3 nights): Your final stop will be the US capital city: Washington DC. This seat of power is renowned for its monuments, government buildings and broad avenues. However, it also has great food from a mix of cultures, as well as a famous mall known for museums, festivals and picnics. During your time in the city, be sure to visit the White House, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and the Thomas Jefferson Museum. Of course, you should also schedule in some time to relax before your flight back to the UK so make use of the great restaurants in the city.
✈ Washington DC – UK: On your last day, you’ll return your car to the airport and board your flight back to the UK.

Eshore’s are an excellent company I can’t praise them enough, especially Adam who has been amazing. He was really patient as I’m indecisive and changed my mind several times. He persevered and found us a dream holiday and put together great itinerary covering every aspect of our journey . Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel the trip and Adam went above and beyond to recoup as much as possible for us. It was a huge help & felt very personal as if he were a friend. We have rescheduled the holiday & will use Eshores for all future trips’

I had never heard of eshores till I decided to plan a multi-stop holiday in Turkey some weeks ago. The decision to use eshores was based on a quick internet search for any help I could get with this. So, i wasnt really expecting much. As the planning was at relatively short notice...and we had never travelled to Turkey, I was pleasantly surprised at the support I had from Rachel at eshores who listened to what I wanted and was patient to go back and forth with me till I had the exact holiday I wanted (Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya). I always had a response with every query(and I had quite a few!!). The travel itself worked like a dream...both international and domestic flights were straightforward, but even more surprising was how reliable the multiple taxis to and fro airports were, even when picking up at 0330!! Overall, the experience has been very positive and I would be very happy to use the service again

Nick arranged a 2 week trip to Argentina & Brazil for us in March. We were happy with the itinerary he put together and his choice of hotels. We had a good level of contact from taxi companies for collections at airports & hotels. On our return he checked everything had gone smoothly which was a nice touch. I mentioned that I was looking for a beach holiday in a couple of months and he put together some hotels at a good price so I’ve booked again with him. I would definitely use Nick, EShores, again and recommend them to friends.
