The reason for taking this 7-day bus tour from Washington DC was because my kids have never been to Ney York and Niagara Falls and in their Christmas Holidays they were willing to visit it. GoldenBusTours offered us a great deal for our family members with special discounts and we had a lot of fun on visiting some of interesting locations with hotel accommodations.

Full of energy, we cousins 6 of us started for the trip and this bus tour did not dip our energy. The entire tour was fun. This was a 6 day tour and the Golden bus tour operated as required, the accommodation was great. We had the best time spent.

This was one great 5 night stay and day tour. We got to see Niagara Falls, Made of Mist, Boston, Corning, Philadelphia, NYC and Washington DC as well as an IMAX Movie. The experience was just great. I was not only able to save $79.50 but I got the finest accommodations as well. The lodging had all the basic amenities needed in a hotel and it was located at a central position in the city which meant every key site was nearby. Hats off to GoldenBus Tours for arranging such an extensive yet well organized tour.

I wouldn’t believe that we have toured the entire New York City is such a comfortable and appropriate way that I couldn’t have ever imagined. Such a great bus tour, we all loved our time at Niagara Falls as well as in Boston, New York, and Washington DC. More importantly, we get to stay in the finest lodgings. Absolutely Amazing Experience!

Quincy Market is just not that kind of place I would prefer on my trip. It’s was good to taste the Clam Chowders and those lobsters in dinner at the Boston. Harvard Universty, Niagara Falls, Philadelphia – all were remarkable to explore. Thank You.

I took 6-Day New York/New Jersey to Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Niagara Falls Tour (Free Airport Pickup). I would like to especially mention about my tour guide "Daniele" who managed the tour really well. The tour started with airport pickup and they dropped us at the hotel in new jersey. And from next day onward we started visiting cities and attractions. The time allotted for attraction was good enough to explore the place. My overall experience was highly satisfying and I would recommend this tour if you want to cover main attractions in the minimum time. My only suggestion for improvement is that for Indian tourists, you can give an option of Indian food or buffet instead of only going for hibachi buffet. As there are nearby options for Indian food where the tour makes stop for lunch. Indian tourist if you want to eat Indian food you can opt out of lunch buffets and also go prepared with some food for breakfasts.
