I wouldn’t entirely admire that we had to travel a lot on this bus tour. I remember we began our journey in New York City and toured the Empire State Building Observatory first which was just quite a remarkable experience. DC and Niagara Falls were great to tour. Lovely experience!

First we get to visit all the good places of New York City and Washington DC where we took the boat ride, the Philadelphia historic district was also worth exploring, on our last days, the tour took a turn to whole new level of excitement as we toured the Niagara Falls. My words wouldn’t be ever enough to explain the fact that how much we enjoyed the tour. Great Tour!
