the majority of attraction we have on the scheduled has either a good entrance charge or it didn’t have the entrance charges, it’s probably more crowded because of the holiday season. The Niagara Maid cruise was almost the most adventures cruise I have ever experience in my life, the waters were full of waves, and we kept roaming around the thunderous waters, took everyone’s breathes away. I like the way the customers were treated, and the majority came from foreign countries, but the management was local and provided us with information regarding the tour in English.

I loved listening to travel guide person in the morning when he tells us about all the great places that we were going to be visiting. One thing we liked the most about this journey was its punctuality, the time management was great, that we didn’t waste a single moment to make the tour even a little lazy but rather the tour guide guided us about each and every place. Anyhow, we really wished to spend more time Boston rather we just began the tour from there without any place there, and the tour team returned right on time. Thanks for the free airport service for picking and dropping us, we really enjoyed on this bus tour.

I was planning a tour for our family with my husband, while surfing on the internet, we came across this bus tour on the internet, and they seemed to offer quite a reasonable deal. Booking the tour seats was the easiest job for us, we took a flight to Boston and there we met the tour team. Everyone’s seemed so excited and we began our tour from Quincy Market. The destinations in every city we toured were remarkable. Our host provided a great assistance. Now that we had found this amazing new tour company, we are willing to board another tour soon.

It was quite impressive to see the bus person was able to speak so many languages for guiding all kinds of visitors that we have had on the buses. Summers are the best season to board this journey, as it gets super cold around the Niagara Falls in winters and boat cruises also get shut down. Mentioning the US Capitol inside Tour which led us to some of the famous sites there like Supreme Court, Library, Hall, and then they drove us back to White House. It was so wonderful to explore the Lincoln Memorial, the Empire State Building, the Historical zone in Philadelphia. Thank you for providing us this great bus tour deal.

too bad, the US Capitol was closed for some sort of security concern and at least that’s what they told us. We really wanted to the see the US Congress and all those buildings, which we saw on the News, however, the White House building was so amazing to tour from the inside, the president wasn’t in the office, so the tour leader managed a quick tour from the front lawn and we snapped a lot of photos. It was great to the Washington DC like I have never even imagined of touching the walls of the white house, thanks to this great bus tour, it also had so many other great stops like the Niagara Falls. Hudson River was the best experience we had in New York City.

As we joined the tour team in Boston, we just took quite a long journey to New York City. It took so many hours that made me think that I have made a mistake joining the tour team. However, as we arrive all tired up in the city, we didn’t have much energy to go out on the nighttime journey they were offering us, thank god, the hotels were so great. The very next day after waking up all fresh, the tour guide great us and took us on the City Tour, it was so great to visit the popular places in New York. Lovely time in DC, Niagara Falls, and Philadelphia. Great hotels, loved them!

Since all of our destinations were far distant, therefore we had to travel on the buses for a significant amount of time. The thing that we bugged me is that some people were so loud, they just couldn’t behave in a decent manner, I wanted to close my eyes to get some rest as we travel on the buses far, but those people had some diabolic energy that never seemed to rest. I have talked to the tour leader on the bus about this and sadly he couldn’t do anything about that. Other than that, the tour was fun and the Washington DC was wonderful. Thanks for accommodating us such nice hotels.
