The 3-Day New York/New Jersey to Corning Museum of Glass, Niagara Falls and Washington DC Tour was an amazing experience. As a native New York Yorker and Hotel Concierge for almost 20 years I\'ve taken many tours via bus, boat and air and this is definitely one of my favorites.

The best thing we loved about that tour is the tour guide. Our tour guide was really a great guy. He was very helpful and very professional yet so friendly and funny at the same time. Our bus was clean and comfortable though there was no bathroom available so we had to stop for breaks, the hotels were really clean and comfortable. I really would like to thank Golden bus tours for organizing that tour , it was a great 3 day vacation for us.

Hotel was just walking distance from the Falls which was the best thing about the tour. We could literally do our own thing whenever we wanted. The buses were very reasonable and the schedule was also very decent. Tour Guide takes you to several places in a very tight timing which is awesome. I would love to join this tour again.
