Excellent tour and amazing services. The very first thing that was quite fascinating in this tour was easy online booking with clear response. Niagara Falls was a beauty to explore amongst all the destinations.it was such a lovely place, a boat tour was fantastic as we can touch and feel the water. The driver was so cooperative as he took care of all ages in bus by his gentle way of driving. Big thanks for beautiful memories. Highly recommending this tour service for all the visitors from any part of the country, all will feel like home.
Mehul
I would like to share my experience of the bus trip. However, though, it wasn’t any difficult to join the tour due to the online booking facility. Niagara Falls, Philadelphia and Washington DC, all were best explored. There was a very diverse community of people on board with us. The great tour guide on the bus! Thanks.
Nandani
What a fine tour, I enjoyed the whole tour but my only concern was that I was unable to fully enjoy the charm of Thundering Water Cultural Show and it was worth watching and was of enough time to enjoy in a relax mode. People from all over the world were exploring the closest view of Niagara falls and I felt great to socialize there as well. Within bus and outside the bus there was a world of many cultures and colors and I had a great time over there. The bus was cool and seats were comfortable with good driving.
Olivia
Very well planned and managed tour. As we were picked on the exact time and the driver was also a gentle man but there had some issues with the air condition of the bus. Later it was sorted out but during the summers we badly needed cool environment. Other things were perfect as I enjoyed the most Niagara Falls and visit to Yale University. My tour guide was a good man, we did not have any problem while encounter with him. A he also gave us a good knowledge about places. Excellent services and incredible trip!
verat
After so many search I have decided to take this tour. My experience was wonderful with them. The tour was very planned and we follow all places mentioned in the plan. It was a good combination of exploring nature and known places and cities. Boat ride on the Hudson River was really memorable as I look back on this trip I find this ride the most exciting one along with views of Niagara Falls. Philadelphia and its historical places were amazing to explore. I was pretty much satisfied with eateries and accommodations. I had an amazing photo shoot of historical landmarks and the beauties of nature. Thanks a lot!
William
Economically I found it a very wise selection. From accommodations to other activities it was a decently designed trip good for the pockets of visitors with a friendly environment inside the bus. Places were really so beautiful and I enjoyed the entire trip. New York City was explored with a guide who was a fun and package of energy. Thanks Alex for such amazing guidance!
Joe
I am glad that my family enjoyed the entire days on the bus tour. The friendly service, good accommodations, and destination have made it all perfect for us! Hotels could have been better, but they were decent and economical.
