Actually I had 10 days leave in my credit and I booked this 11 day tour clubbing my weekend off and enjoyed every bit of it. I loved everything, but the family behind me was talking a lot and that was a bit off.

I absolutely loved every bit about this tour. My God it was an amazing and exciting tour. They are so professional and well-mannered that you don’t have to face a bit of problem from the beginning to the end of the tour. It was an exciting and amazing tour.

We had a marvelous time on our recent holiday with GoldenBus Tours. Miami was amazing. The beaches, simply awesome. GoldenBus Tours made it certain that each tour detail was well executed and that we also had time to enjoy the best sights in town. The best part of the tour was the New Year’s countdown that we got to be a part of with 50 other people from the group. I’ll recommend GoldenBus Tours to everybody looking for a well planned trip.

The tour started out fine but as it progressed, the quality started to go downhill, sure it was fun roaming on the streets of New York and catching beautiful sights of the Niagara Falls but half of the times we couldn’t get a decent hotel and everybody was worn out. I guess, eleven days are too much for me. This tour is more suited for more-energizing audience.

My boyfriend and me were not in good terms and were distanced due to a quarrel. He just got this tour ticket and we realized how much we were important for each other and loved the tour in all ways. Unforgettable moments, the 11 day tour, bought us together forever.

I took this tour with my family because it is very economical, and this tour featured new things which I haven’t visited. It was a long 11-day tour but it was worth it. Miami is absolutely mind blowing place and icing on the cake was new eve countdown there. We didn’t have to rush from one point to another and got to explore each place on our own pace. I will surely recommend it to other travel enthusiast.

We joined the tour from the very first day, whole tour was actually subdivided on different packages. Anyhow, I got tired last week and wanted to treat myself as been working for thirty five years in Police Department, so I gathered my courage and went on this tour, I must say these were my best days of life, Thank you guys and our tour guide, Ron, Thank you very much.

I liked the fact how tour guides explained everything. Also they gave a lot of choice to choose whatever you want to on a couple of days and it was great.

I missed the morning tour of New York on day one because of the delayed flight. Apart from that, it was a wonderful tour and I don’t regret going with them.

I didn’t enjoy as much as I was supposed to. There were a few glitches and I was in a bad mood after that.
