Bovan
for me and my family, it has been a great dream for all of us to go the Niagara Falls all by ourselves. However, we found a little time out of the busy routine in the last summer holidays and thus finally we took this bus tour to reach our destinations. There were quite a lot of destinations scheduled for us to visit instead of Niagara Falls. We almost had a complete day at the falls park, we enjoyed a lot while exploring the popular site there. Good day! Miss the summer.

at the very beginning of the tour, we weren’t so sure about the fact that this tour service providers were really worth experiencing since there is always a bus full of people to travel public. However, not mentioning the famous destinations we got to explore, but the friendly and helpful behavior of Marilyn, our bus host, made the journey worth it. The hotels very not always so good but we can say they were quite alright in terms of having a good night sleep rather than being all fancy and luxurious. It could have been a lot nevertheless the experience was wonderful!

sorting out all the landmarks while taking a long distanced journey has always a tough job for us. We found this amazing platform for bus service where we could just pick our favorite tours with favorite designations in it, and just book it. I liked how the services were provided to not only us but all the passengers on board. The bus host, driver, hotels, buses, destinations, - all collectively made this journey so amazing! Great experience throughout. Thanks.

My brother, as soon he got off the serious/fatal illness and the whole resting-procedure, I decided to plan a journey with him and let him welcome the life again. Indeed, I could not afford to let him visit the world but I took this decent 6-day tour from the internet. It was a very nice tour and I’m really glad that we took this excellent tour deal with a 15% off discount. We began from Chinatown Manhattan, New York, the bus departed at the exact time. We saw and visited countless places in the Washington Dc, NYC, Boston, and Philadelphia. These are the renowned tourists admired cities. However, the lodging and the dinner of lobsters we had in the Boston city are appreciable.

I learned a lot on the tour about the architecture, contemporary and modern art, because as being part of the artist degree, it is in my interests to collect the new ideas and creative way of thinking. Corning Museum of Glass was the best; the art in there did really touch my soul, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art which is residing the biggest number of artifacts. The rest of the tour was also as good as thought it would be. Vietnam War Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Madame Tussauds, New England Aquarium, Niagara Fall, and Yale University were the best spots at where we had fun exploring. Including the accommodations, those were also just good and luxurious.

Tourism is my hobby and the most significant thing I do in my life, and I think this tour can me much more awesome by having such an excellent service. We already paid half a grand for each person for the tour then why there were so many destination admission fees that were charged. Out of 50 places we had to pay the entry fee of around 15 places, this should be managed initially by the tour manager/organizer. Other than that, the several places were nice such as the Potomac River, Empire state building, USS intrepid, water & thunder show in New York, Hudson boat cruise. The lodging at the Four Points hotel was the unfortunate because we have to wait for our room and the guests were over flooded there.
