We were expecting this tour to be more like a laid back one, rather than someone hiring just to lead to the places. I was expecting to have as much time as we want to explore a certain place, and not just for a very short period like we are in a big hurry. It’s all about the tour experience, we wanted to enjoy, not to get tired of just dragging our elves down those massive cities. The good thing we found out about the tour is that it was some really nice hotels, of course, the hotel service was better the tour service that was delivered to us on this exciting bus tour. I was shocked by the beauty of Niagara Falls, wasn’t expecting the waterfalls should be that massive, the sounds of the waterfalls pouring down can be hired from a mile away. We enjoyed this tour because I have my siblings and parents with m, we just tried to have fun on our own and not like someone is telling us what to do. Destinations were really wonderful!

the daytime through Washington was legendary. The tour bus took us to Abraham Lincoln's Memorial. The building was beautiful, white and breathtaking. As we went inside, the statue of Abraham Lincoln sitting on his throne was presented in the front. I really loved the stop at Lincoln memorial. Our next stop was the Korean War Memorial. It was absolutely beautiful. The sculptures of the Veterans attracted my attention and I couldn't look away even for a second. The tour guides took us inside and we could take excellent pictures from perfect viewing points. We visited a Special place next which was the White House. We were given special permission by the tour service to take pictures of the White House. The white house was beautiful and the tour guides did their job well in taking us to the perfect viewing points.

the greatest thing about this tour is that the departure locations are not much very far from the place where I live, so we moved down to Wentworth Ave where tour guides were supposed to meet us. We arrived at the departure locations earlier the time the tour was going to begin. The tour started out pretty from the Chicago, then we headed down the Detroit Museum where the Henry Ford automobiles were on the display. It was lovely the way we traveled so far from Chicago and straight to the Detroit just to visit that one museum. The reason for us to board on this bus tour was really wanted to go out explore top-notch places around the New York region. We heard about the Niagara Falls, Watkins Park, so many other places were on time table f the journey. We always wanted to see something more different as we get to see around our Hometown. It was much of a day when we have to explore the New York City in just one, we are talking about the largest city in the country, thank God the hotels were decent. Cheers to the great team on this little adventure!

The bus picked us up from the hotel. The seating was comfortable and me myself, as well as the others, had a peaceful and relaxing journey through Syracuse. Looking out of the window, we could see the beautiful city in the daytime. This start boosted the energy for a wonderful day. The bus took us to the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum. As we parked there, everyone could see the excellent view of the Intrepid Carrier which was extraordinarily huge. It was a great experience, thanks

I was already so much worried about the tour days that had all the family with me toon board with me, I just wanted to make this super wonderful for m family. The reason for me to worry about the journey is due to the fact that this was the first time that I happen to take this tour ever in my life. Anyway, be departing from Chicago, the tour took us to Detroit where all the vehicles were on the display, the Henry Ford is manufactured vehicles for more than a century. The good part is that we had great hotels at the end of the days, we slept really well at the hotels since all the lodgings were economy class. Niagara Falls was also a fun and exciting place to explore, too bad that, we visited that place in the start of the winters when the boat tours were also not operator due to bad weather conditions. It has been a great experience the tour team!

outstandingly, there was no problem for our tour service because they knew how to do the job and took us to a spot where we all could see the beauty of the huge statue. We also visited the World Trade Center and the 911 memorial. The buildings were beautiful. As we went through the city if Philadelphia, we stopped at the Liberty Bell. Philadelphia is a beautiful city and the tour service did an excellent job of guiding us through the city and through Liberty Bell. We stopped by Reading Market and the tour service lead us back to our hotel.

the trip of the New York City continued the second day. The tour service took us to the famous Wall Street. The place was crowded with people. We overviewed the place from inside the Bus. Even though it was not my kind of place but I really enjoyed the ride through the eight-block area. The next stop was the Hudson River. The bus parked there and I and the others got off. With the tour guides leading the way, we went to the Bay of the Hudson River where I spotted a Yacht. Next thing I knew, we were on that Yacht riding through the Hudson River. It was a lot of fun and one of the safest trips I had ever gone to. We spent a fair amount of time at the Hudson River. The tour service took us to gaze at the Statue of Liberty. It was so huge that I looked up and couldn't look down. The place had many tourists taking pictures. People were rushing in each other just to get a good place to snap a picture if the statue.

I was pretty doubtful at first for choosing this tour service because I was eager to see these locations and I was confused about where to spend my money. After a fair amount of thought, I gave it a go and it turned out to be fruitful for me. The trip started, the first step was Detroit. I was surprised to see that the trip was extraordinarily relaxing and no one from my family was tired. We got off and were led by the tour guides to the Ford complex. It was absolutely amazing, there were seven huge buildings and there were a lot of models in the buildings which were the attraction. I also took a brief look at the limousine from John Kennedy's campaign. A guy in a blue uniform guided us about all of the showpieces inside the complex. The thing that got my attention was the Buss inside which Rosa Parks sat in. It was extraordinary to see such a thing still maintained at this date. I really enjoyed the trip. Even though I was tired from walking and sitting inside the bus but it was certainly a trip I could never forget.

Well there is no point in making the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so famous. When we reached down the down at the Rock and roll museum, we found nothing but regret, the old music industry is dead, and people don’t really much care about the artists from the old ages, when there were not many instruments. Although exploring the rock and roll hall of fame as quite educational for. I mentioned my wife that day, there must be some other better options for a museum like the science museum or any other kind, that really deserves, and help heal up this community. Oh! And you can’t miss out the Niagara Falls while already in the New York. The tour bus made a stop at the Niagara Falls park a day, that way, we had plenty of time to experience all the attractions there. As the Niagara Falls boat ride, there should be more boat cruises for the visitors, instead of traveling such a far distance to travels a single site. There is got to be some way to make this tour perfect! Thanks a lot for the hotels, though.

we were really looking forward to going explore the inside of the US Capitol Building, where the Supreme Court and all those most powerful buildings are located. The tour guide gave us the saddest news of the unfortunate closure of the region due to some urgent order, don’t know what it was exactly, but we missed seeing around the US Capitol, as well as the White House is already just a building so we didn’t take much interest in taking photographs as everyone was just busy taking photographs with the made ups, we actually tried to enjoy visiting the destinations and take the fullest participation on this bus tour. The tour leader handed us out all the tour time table, our stops, and the hotels options were mentioned on the tour schedule, so it was quite easy for us to book on these tours, experience the luxury services without any sort of fatigue, rather making it some sort of a luxury tour. Great experience with the diverse crew!
