Sun, June 22: Depart by motorcoach in the morning and travel to Buffalo, New York stopping along the way for rest stops and a lunch break. Check in for an overnight stay at the Hampton Inn Buffalo Downtown. Dinner is served at the hotel before a private evening tour at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House. Experience an exclusive, docent-led tour where you’ll get to explore all the spaces on the standard daily tour but with the unique opportunity to enjoy special access to the Martins’ home office, guest suite of rooms, staff dining room, and the ballroom in the lower level. (Meals: Dinner)

Mon, June 23: After breakfast, depart for Niagara Falls State Park to spend some time viewing the falls from this vantage point. Experience the Cave of the Winds on Goat Island—a Gorge Walk that takes visitors within feet of Bridal Veil Falls. After passing through The World Changed Here Pavilion, board an elevator that transports you 75 feet down into Niagara Gorge to a series of wooden walkways that lead to the decks right next to the falls. After an exhilarating experience, ascend to the walkways that lead you to lunch options, souvenir shops, and other viewing points where you will enjoy some leisure time. Next, cross into Canada (passport required) and on to the lovely town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Check in for your four-night stay at the historic Prince of Wales Hotel on flower-filled Queen Street—steps away from vibrant boutiques, theatres and restaurants. Rejoin the group for dinner at the hotel this evening. (B,D)

Tue, June 24: This morning, an optional adventure awaits—a helicopter ride around Niagara Falls! After the ride, return to the Niagara-on-the-Lake to have lunch on your own and to see your first Shaw Festival Show—Tons of Money; a side-splitting comedy about a failed inventor who devises a cunning scheme to escape the clutches of his creditors by faking his own death and assuming the identity of his long-lost cousin, thereby inheriting tons of money. What could possibly go wrong? This classic British farce is a madcap delight that will have you in stitches! Following the show, visit the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, first commissioned in 1885 and now home to the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture. The stunning grounds serve not only as a training ground for skilled gardeners, nature enthusiasts and future horticulturists, but beautiful public parkland for all to enjoy. Stroll the manicured paths and enjoy the blooming gardens! While here, step into the Butterfly Conservatory, an indoor rain forest with more than 2,000 resident butterflies, many of which will delicately flock to you as you wander through the lush habitat. Learn about the different types of butterflies and enjoy the tropical atmosphere. Your evening is at leisure. (B)

Wed, June 25: Visit historic Fort George this morning before seeing another play in the afternoon. Idealism and reality crash into each other in Bernard Shaw’s Major Barbara. Barbara Undershaft could not be more different from her estranged father: she is a Salvation Army officer; he is a wealthy arms manufacturer. As their worlds collide, she finds all her beliefs about wealth, poverty and redemption tested. More provocative than ever, this play raises questions of justice, morality and the truth of human nature, all with Shaw’s inimitable wit and incisive dialogue. After the show, feel the thundering roar of the Falls with a Voyage to the Falls boat tour on a state-of-the-art catamaran, with up close views of the magnificent Great Gorge, American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. Next, explore Niagara Parks Power Station on a guided tour. The first major power plant on the Canadian side of the Niagara River has come alive with immersive exhibits, restored artifacts and interactive storytelling. Then, top off the day with dinner facing the falls at Table Rock House and stay to view the fireworks bursting with color over the Falls! (B,D)

Thu, June 26: Spend some time at leisure today to take in another show, relax with a spa treatment at the hotel, or go searching for those last-minute souvenirs. Later this afternoon, visit Peller Estates Winery to learn the process of making icewine, then tour the vineyards and barrel cellar. Along the way, step inside an igloo-like lounge for a tasting, set against a glistening backdrop of unique ice objects including sculptures, an ice lounge chair, and even an ice chandelier! Enjoy a lovely dinner before the finale of shows—Anything Goes! Set sail on the S.S. American in this dazzling production that breathes new life into Cole Porter’s timeless tale of romance, intrigue and high-seas hijinks. Follow the delightful Reno Sweeney, a spirited nightclub singer, as she navigates love triangles, mistaken identities and comical misunderstandings on a transatlantic voyage. Featuring beloved songs like “It’s De-Lovely,” “You’re the Top,” and the showstopping title number “Anything Goes,” this fresh revival brims with spectacular dance numbers and non-stop laughter.
