Customer reviews —
Travelling by train along the East Coast means taking the time to enjoy the journey as much as the destinations. Settling down by the window, watching the towns roll by and arriving right in the heart of Washington, New York, or Boston makes for a smooth, pleasant and seamless experience. The train becomes a different way of travelling, quieter and more authentic, which I can only recommend.
Welcome to the USA —
This self-guided journey leads you from Washington to Boston, travelling along the East Coast by train with tickets included.
