History, Culture, Natural Beauty and Glamour Abound in a Participating Location for Four Days & Three Nights for Two People, Including a Guided Tour (Land Only)

Immerse yourself in grandeur and glamour in one of four of the country's most exciting destinations! One of America's oldest and most legendary cities, Boston is the perfect mix of historic and hip, while Chicago beckons you to create wonderful Windy City moments with its exquisite restaurants, exceptional shopping, world-class museums, awe-inspiring architecture and glorious green spaces! A vibrant metropolis surrounded by majestic natural beauty, Seattle is the perfect place to enjoy an exciting urban adventure or a tranquil mountain retreat (or both).

From soaring skyscrapers to picturesque parks, from famous sights and attractions to fascinating food and festivals, there's no shortage of memorable moments to enjoy in Boston. Get to know Boston on a private 3-hour drive along the Freedom Trail, which crosses through 16 historical locations key to the founding of the United States. Head to landmarks including the Boston Common, Massachusetts State House, Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, and the Paul Revere House, among others. Then take the Charlestown Bridge to the USS Constitution and view the Bunker Hill Monument. Travel in a climate-controlled vehicle with your own private driver-guide who shares live commentary about the sights. After walking in the footsteps of our nation's forefathers, seek comfort at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, a luxury downtown Boston landmark hotel that has been a symbol of the city's rich history and elegance since its gala opening in 1912. Centrally located in Boston's historic Back Bay, Fairmont Copley Plaza sits steps away from the Boston Public Library, historic Beacon Hill, and the Freedom Trail, and is located only a few blocks from the Hynes Convention Center, Copley Place Mall and the boutiques of Newbury Street.

In the mid-west, get a taste and a view of Chicago when you step aboard an easy-to-maneuver pontoon boat for a private cruise on the Chicago River! You'll enjoy having the boat to yourself, as you captain the ship, select your own itinerary and move at your own pace, all while pausing to cook the included pizza on the boat's built-in pizza grill. On land you can discover Chicago from a wholly unique perspective at Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile. Centrally located, in the heart of the Gold Coast Historic District, this hotel provides a dynamic vantage point for exploring the Windy City. Or stay at Swissotel Chicago, an award-winning luxury hotel overlooking the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, and also just steps from the Magnificent Mile. The distinctive 4-diamond, all-glass hotel offers spectacular wrap-around views from Navy Pier to Millennium Park, state-of-the-art penthouse fitness center, and spotless European-style service. Offering sophisticated, modern luxury in the heart of downtown Chicago, the Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park overlooks Lake Michigan, Grant and Millennium Parks, and the legendary skyline.

We all know Seattle has a thriving coffee scene, but if you're looking for a chance to taste another side of Seattle, you'll love this winery tour! Savor the wines at Chateau Ste. Michelle and another boutique winery on this sightseeing excursion, which will lead you deep into the rolling Cascade foothills, past lush horse ranches and flower farms to popular Hollywood locations for such famous productions as Twin Peaks, Northern Exposure and The Vanishing. Scenic single lane rural roads lead you up to the peaceful shadow of Mount Si through the Snoqualmie River Valley to the edge of the breathtaking 270 foot Snoqualmie Falls. Cap off the day with a visit to an authentic Swiss chocolate factory! Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Fairmont Olympic Hotel has been a landmark since 1924, and has offered nearly a century of luxury service standards, while melding classic elegance with mid-century modern room decor. From its ideal location downtown, you can enjoy this lively neighborhood's theaters, Pike Place Market, Seattle Aquarium, museums, entertainment, and live music.
