Quantay
Superb tour! Although bus travel meant we had a lot of time to kill but the guide and the bus driver were both very entertaining. We got to hear amazing jokes throughout the way and it passed our time very well. We also got to see some really good movies on the bus. On this 3-day tour we were able to enjoy beautiful sights at Niagara Falls and other locations as well. Well I’d definitely recommend GoldenBusTours to people who want to enjoy bus tours with affordability and great value. This is a great company to travel with peeps.
Melara
I had an amazing time on this tour. I was actually dreading the outcome of travelling alone but GoldenBus Tours made my fears sit aside. The tour guide accompanied me throughout and it certainly proved to be a cherry on top of such a well planned 3 day tour. What I loved most about this company is the fact that they don’t rush you from anywhere. You are free to enjoy the views to your heart’s content.

We are seniors by age and were scared to take a bus tour. Yet, took a chance and we did the right chance. We had nothing to regret and we visiting Boston, Niagara Falls, corning museum and thoroughly enjoyed visiting each place. Moving away from Niagara Falls was difficult.
Hansh
I took this tour because it is very economical, and this tour featured new things which I haven’t visited, so I insisted my son to accompany me. We visited the Corning Glass Museum, Niagara Falls, Old FORT, Power Vista, Trinity Church, MIT, Harvard University and Quincy Market. My son was quite impressed by the surroundings. Everything this tour feature has been a learning opportunity for him and for me as well.
Thomas
It was one the the best trip. It’s like touring the world in just 3 days. We visited the most beautiful places on earth. . I’d say if any one of you wants a tour that is affordable and serves you well, its GoldenBus Tours you should look towards. Niagara Falls was absolutely sensational. Corning Glass Museum, Old FORT, Power Vista, Trinity Church, MIT, Harvard University, Quincy Market are certainly places to visit. I would recommend this tour to all my friends
Watts
Visiting Boston was my Childhood dream. I heard a lot about this Educational Center of USA. When I headed to this place, I explored that it has much more than educational institutions. It’s a very beautiful and peaceful city.
Chang
My wife had to unexpectedly visit her mom and I had to take care of my two naughty sons. I planned and got tickets for the weekend for a 3 day tour. This was amazingly the best. I and my sons became best friends. I will bring my wife to this tour.
Caden
I was looking for a getaway where I can enjoy more nature’s beauty than other things. I am happy that I chose this tour package over others. It was perfect decision for sure.

Our bus was really comfortable, and though there was no bathroom we stopped every while for break, also our driver was very skilled, he really made us feel safe on the bus, which was extremely important to us since we had a small children with us
