A wonderful time spent was this tour. The tour bus was good and the complimentary stuffs received of Apple were like a boon sent by God. The accommodation rooms were exceptionally good and the dinner treat as well as the lunch we had were all different and tasty. I loved this tour and the tour operator gave lovely options of cruise and night tour. As I opted for the cruise tour, I will come again to take the night tour. Everything was well arranged. I am pleased and actually highly excited that I have been recommending my friends to this tour.

well I always wanted to explore the east coast of America, and this bus tour is a dream-come-true to me. It was a sort of laidback journey with all kinds of appropriate facilities from decent hotels to the supervision of the visitors and great destinations. We all enjoy at Key West especially the Miami Art Deco street was unquestionably wonderful. Everglades National Park boating made our trip so exciting. Appreciable!
Kaushaliya
the first thing I noticed was the diverse community of people on board, which of course was quite astounding to observe but all were nice as our entire trip. West Palm Beach, including the other beaches, were lovely to visit, the Biscayne Bay cruise – breathtaking!
Navin
Miami Night tour on our very first day could have been a lot better, as I am concerned Miami is full of remarkable visiting sites, beaches, and lots of lots of attractions. However, our team was professional which ultimately helped us had a nice journey. My kids were amazed by the tour of Safari Park. Nice lodgings to stay throughout our course of the trip.
Zha
We liked the tour. We were the two of us and we actually do not go much on tours or outing. More of indoor types, we read books and watch movies or TV. Even if we go out it will be a return on the same day or at the most the next day by noon. This is the first time we are out on a tour and now I realize how much time we wasted indoors. The disappointing fact in this tour was we had last seats and they were not in good condition. A better condition would have helped.
