I never had a better opportunity to explore New York and Philadelphia in a single tour. I had the most amazingly scariest and fantastic trip ever. Visits to memorials and monuments was just sensational. I did some shopping from the Shopping outlet too. A wonderful tour altogether.
Matthews
The tour in the bus was as they said it would be and I also found the reviews were good and perfect that helped me book this bus. One thing was disappointing was waiting for the lift queue at the hotel accommodation. I enjoyed the 4 day tour especially Potomac River and Philadelphia.
Virgil
Had a chance to visit some of the best tourist sites of Washington DC. We availed the services of Golden Bus Tours and it was a one day trip which went pretty economical for us. The bus was very comfortable and the guide was a great assistance.
Chriswan
We landed in Dulles International Airport, GoldenBusTours provided a free shuttle service to our hotel rooms, and everything was up to mark by the staff. We took a very detailed tour of the capital city, Amish farm, New York, and a lot of other places. These were the best 4 days of my life. I’m thinking about taking another tour, prices are very affordable, you can even take a tour in 10 dollars. Good work GoldenBus!
Kamonika
It was tough for me to depart on this tour in the summer season, therefore, in the winters; it sounded about right. As indeed, the tour was fun probably because of the fact that attractions we toured were not just famous around the city or the state but rather the places like State building, Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, Jefferson Memorial, and USS Intrepid were extraordinary and it kind of a give the energy to explore more about the country’s wonder. Though, the Amish Farm was not just as entertaining or fascinating for my husband and I; it was just like we have had stepped back into the century. The accommodation at the Wyndham Garden was appreciable because of the excellent service.
Kong Hsu
you know what? I wasn’t expecting this sort of a sophisticated service by the tour organizers. We visited the attractions on a bus service which wasn’t that bad as I was expecting it to be, but rather it was decent and the bus carried us to the locations we have scheduled to visit. Well, though; the New York City was like the never-ending city and it’s a big city to be explored properly in a day. I have visited the financial district for the first time my life and it was just as bustling and busy as figured it, but the Wall Street, Charging Bull, and the Trinity Church there were stunning. Good days!
Jake Kinchela
We took the New York and Philly tour. Our tour guide was so very nice and personable he pointed out all of must see spots and made several stops where he took pictures with my iPhone of my wife and I. He was a wonderful tour guide and I recommend 100% Goldenbustours We will do this again next time we are in town
Wei Ko
I\'m giving a 5 star review, even though we didn\'t actually get to take the trip. On their website they point out that the safety and comfortable for their buses and hotels is their #1 priority. Well we got to see that in action, and I have a lot of respect for that.
