Default East coast trip. Input needed asap.

Hi,

I am planning for 10 day trip to east coast from santa clara CA.
I have booked air-tickets SFO-BUF(reach BUF august 11. 12pm) later
from DCA to SJC(aug 21st, depart that evening) back. Now i wanted to
know if there is travel agents like "8 day east coast tour" (example
http://lassentours.com/)
who can pick us @ BUF and drop off @ washington DC ?
or even "3 day canada trip" and drop off at new york city.
I think we can do new york and DC on our own,
But we would like to avoid driving too much as we are only two people.
So please recommend a tour starting august 11th and we are flying back
on august 21st.
we want to book as soon as possible also can you tell if
Monteral and Qubece is worth going ? if so also suggest any tour
operaters.
only problem we see in lassentours 's
trip is they do not show new york city and DC area well. I want to see
few museums. else they are pretty good i think. please give your
inputs asap.
also we will loose one day as we need to drive from BUF to NYC to
start off the trip. time is running out fast.

Thanks,
Harsha

Montreal and Quebec are excellent destinations if you are looking for
large urban....is that what you want? The cities are safe, clean and
have a large number of attractions. There is a v.g. train service
between the two cities and you can "do" both - to a degree - in three
days.

Just to give you an idea of driving times
(leisurely/highway, but not sight-seeing):

Buffalo to Thousand Islands 4 hours
Thousand Islands to Montreal 4 hours
Montreal to Quebec City 3 hours
Quebec City to Burlington VT 4 hours
Burlington VT to Portland ME 4 hours
Portland ME to Boston 2 hours
Boston to New York 4 hours
New York to Washington 5 hours

IMHO, Quebec, Montreal and Portland, Maine (and
the coast to its south) would be the highlight
of these cities.

If possible--though it's the farthest out of the
way--do Quebec City.
