I would like to mention few of the amazing places which we toured including the Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands, Casa Loma, Times Square, and Madame Tussaud museum. Before we reached the Toronto the boat cruise did really leave us amused by the incredible fun we had on it. The last day was spent on exploring the New York City and we also get to see the Empire State building and the bustling culture of the city. The hotels were also worth spending the night at.

I remember the time when we booked this tour it was summers time. My uncle told me about this 5-day bus tour which they just recently experience. I immediately reserved the bus tour for me and my siblings. It started out not so much because the very first day was spent on our own at the New York but for the rest of the days we toured countless landmarks and the best one was the Niagara as indeed it’s the best around the country.

One of the things i really liked about that tour was the Complimentary Airport pick up and drop off service. Next best thing was the accommodation, though our hotels were not 5 stars, but they were very clean and comfortable hotels. The organization of the our was amazing, there was no delay at all and our tour guide was very professional guy. we enjoyed a lot Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ripleys Aquarium of Canada, Madame Tussaud Wax Museum.

Overall, it was a good trip. The value was good for the price we paid. Be prepared that the drive in the bus will be long and you have to be fast in rest room breaks. Most of the tourists are Chinese, but the tour guide speaks both English and Chinese. Ariel was a good tour guide. She was friendly and nice.

The tour was really amazing and professionally conducted. The only thing is that the visit to Watkins Glen was abruptly changed to Corning Glass Museum and was a bit of disappointment. Other than that there were no issues. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

We have a Nice tour experience. One thing I could say, is a Good tour but you have to wake up early. The rest is prima. It is a nice Tour. Very exhaustive. They take good care of Chinese and not other tourists. If you want to explore more places in short time then this is recommended. Thanks GoldenBusTours.
