I shall definitely recommend this trip to the people who are history lovers. When I visited, Washington DC and the white house were the limelight of my travel show. Museum lovers have great opportunities as I had on this trip. Traveling was cool. The tour guide was having enough knowledge about monuments, museums, and other sites. I captured all the places in my camera. The site of Niagara fall New York was too refreshing for me. Those who want to cover many places in less time must try this trip and yes, don’t forget to bring some snacks with you it will refresh you. Thanks
Nishant
I went on this tour with my friends. My experience was amazing. The team was highly cooperated and helpful. We were so happy for the best discounts they offered. The tour plan was wonderful we covered all important and known places. The bus was old but well maintained. Reserved hotels were not up to the mark, small rooms, and no room service. The best of this tour was experienced and knowledgeable, and friendly guide. Highly recommended.
