Itinerary
Recommended tour length for this area is 3-5 days but all of our tours are completely customizable to the unique needs of your school. Some schools will want a longer or shorter tour with an optional sightseeing day depending on the distance they have traveled and the interests of their students. This tour can be combined with an extension south to the Richmond area or an extension north to the Baltimore area, or both for an even longer adventure. For inspiration, here is a sample itinerary that we've done before.
