I have never found that to be true. Maybe there is a major
difference between tour packages coming here, and the ones
I can get here, or in going to Europe, but whenever I think
I'm going some place where a package should be cheaper, I'm
always able to piece one together myself cheaper. It's
mostly because the packages are attempting to "up sell"
me to a better hotel than I'd otherwise pick, or maybe
throw in rental cars or tickets to some tourist attraction.
As for your general idea of stopping somewhere on
the way back from Orlando, as you've seen, it is quite
easy, if you only stop in one of the cities. Doing 2
might make it a bit more difficult. Although I love DC
and think it's a better place for Europeans to go, I'm
also aware that most folks find NYC far more entertaining,
especially for a whole week.
Your decision may be made as much by what flights you
can get, and I suspect you'll get more options
through NYC-JFK than you will through DC. But if you
do decide to go to DC, might I suggest that besides the
city itself, you consider spending some time, even in
only for the day, in Gettysburg and Annapolis. It
will require a rental car to do it reasonably, although
you probably can find a bus service if you desire.
