I didn’t think our college would ever take us on a study tour so my group of friends decided to go here on our own. We opted for GoldenBusTours because the company offered amazing rates in comparison to all others. I’d say this is one great tour company because it offers well planned bus tours that even students like us can enjoy. Its great. The best thing was that we weren’t rushed from one place to another.

I wanted to add my review here earlier but couldn’t do so because I wasn’t well. Suffered from fever after the trip. Well coming back to the task at hand, I had an amazing time during my trip with GoldenBusTours. The company arranged for us a very affordable and well managed tour covering Cambridge, Harvard, MIT and other destinations. We friends took this tour and this proved to be a great experience for us as it will help us in our future college selection.

I didn’t realize that America is advanced at its educational institutes until I took this tour of Golden Bus Tours. The golden Bus tours took us to Massachusetts Institute of Technology where we took a full guided tour and then we continued to Harvard University and then Cambridge, it was a day to learn a lot. Best service ever by Golden Bus Tour.

I finally got a day to myself and I decided to do something different, therefore I took this tour. I must say, GoldenBusTours provided way more than I was expecting they would for this tour. We began our tour by a visit to the prestigious institutes such as Cambridge, Harvard and MIT. I learned a lot about Boston in just one day. Good work GoldenBusTours!

I was planning to join Harvard, MIT or Yale, since my grades are really good. Seeing the itinerary I took interest in checking out the campuses. I even spoke with few students and clarified a few formal doubts from the institute offices.

The entire tour was great. Everything was well planned, organized and well executed as well. Golden Bus Tours offered us special discounts on buying 2 tickets. We departed from Ne...w York in an early Morning and spend the whole day exploring Boston and prestige educational institutes like Cambridge, Harvard and MIT, which was fun and full of knowledge.

This one day tour is just what I needed. I had an absolutely wonderful time and the hotels were splendid too. I would surely recommend this tour to my friends. I visited New York to Cambridge, Harvard, MIT and Boston Universities and now wish to pursue my PG here in one of these universities.
