Capital Region
Hot and happening! That’s what they call America’s Capital Region, which has always been rich in history and the American experience and now is even more interesting with cutting edge culture, wild and wonderful landscapes, fabulous food and wine trails. Built more than two centuries ago as the new capital of the United States, Washington, DC is one of the youngest and most powerful capital cities on the globe. It is peppered with impressive and moving monuments and memorials, broad tree-lined avenues that are more like Paris than a modern American city and more. Even if you’ve visited before, new monuments are always being added and many museums have recently expanded.
Moving on to Maryland, you’ll appreciate the laid back culture of Maryland’s Eastern Shore after bustling Washington. Some places haven’t changed much since any of the six Baron Baltimore’s arrived. The vast plantations that blanket the area with lush crops surrounding grand houses are as southern as anything you’ll find in Virginia. On the shore, the maritime traditions of Maryland are still evident, although many a quaint old village has been gentrified by weekend pleasure boaters. Baltimore is full of character and enjoyably unpretentious. Get rowdy there and no one will mind.
And, let’s not forget Virginia. The state produced many of early America’s great leaders and ultimately delivered eight Presidents to the nation. Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison and James Monroe all hailed from here. You can meet their present day contemporaries at Williamsburg where you can find yourself immersed in conversation with any of them, discussing the major issues of the day. Contrast that to the great beaches in Virginia Beach and the very lovely Skyline Drive and all together you have the makings of a rich and rewarding holiday.

Good afternoon
My wife and I have just returned from our trip to America and I simply had to contact immediately to thank you for arranging such a memorable trip.
Your service has been quite outstanding - we are experienced travellers and I can say that we have never had such a back-up from anyone remotely like yours.It has been a life time experience which we will remember for a long time to come. We would certainly recommend you to all our friends.
The selection of Hotels and Historical houses has been varied and fun to visit and the information provided in the package was most useful - almost overwhelming !
Many thanks
