Nice tour, well arranged as per the schedule. But we had to get up early to visit places and that’s the only thing that I dislike as I had to cut my sleeping time. The 6 day tour to the world’s best places is remarkable and the bus tour was affordable.

Entire tour was well planned. Nice hotel bookings. The tour guide was very helpful, energetic, also had great command and authority/discipline. She knew exactly what to do, how, and why. This was a wonderful tour!

I would only say three words… Amazing, Spectacular and Unforgettable Tour. Literally, I mostly don’t bother myself to talk to people in online forums but I couldn’t resist without telling this.

Boston, Washington DC, Niagara Falls and more in freaking five amazing days! Every place was at its best and so were the fancy hotels. My fiancé and I just loved every bit of it. We didn’t really miss anything. We made sure we saw everything there was to explore. GoldenBus Tours has certainly done a wonderful job arranging such detailed tours at these prices.

This was a trip that my brother recommended. I went with my boyfriend to places that I always wanted to visit, including the Niagara Falls, which was at its best. I loved to admire nature with all its might and Niagara was the perfect place. The tip is extremely special as my boyfriend became my fiancé and that was the best thing in my life. I have recommended it to my friends.

This trip was well worth the money. John, the tour guide, was excellent. This was a bilingual tour, so he had to translate everything into English and Chinese. He did an outstanding job. The trip was non-stop action all day. Early starts and late arrivals was the norm. Every day was full of sites to see. If you have never been to this part of the country, this trip is for you.

Just completed this excursion and it was undoubtedly fun. The bus tour covered all the important places. I got to see several vantage points and enjoyed every bit of the tour. A 6 day tour was my first opportunity as I have been on 2 and 3 day tours. I recommend.

I’m glad that we toured a lot of places that I couldn’t even imagine I could visit in the first place. I always wanted to see around the Harvard University and with the help of this great bus tour I’m glad to admit that we explored the best out of that campus. Spending the day exploring the Washington DC was a great idea, as we discovered so many sites there, especially the Potomac River cruise was such a memorable. However, throughout the journey, we took really great photos. At the end of the day, we always had the finest hotels to stay. This trip was basically a birthday present for my wife and enjoyed a lot with me. I’m so amazed by the quality services by the tour management.

If you ask me about my experience I would there was nothing so special about it. We rambled around the Washington DC and New York and Boston and visited the finest sites there. I have been to those places and cities many times before so there was nothing new to me. Nevertheless, my friends seemed to enjoy a lot as it was there first bus trip and everybody received a luxury service throughout the course of the bus trip. It is a must take a tour if you have been to those places before. Plus, the Yale University helped us learned about that institute. Thanks again for this great bus journey, and that Jonathan guy, who was our travel host, great guidance by him.

The tour was really very well organized, we moved exactly on time, there was no delay and even during the tour we were right on schedule, it was a great effort from the tour guide who was a great guy by the way. The accommodation was really comfortable, really clean and cozy hotels and we saw some amazing places. It was really a great tour and great experience. I really hope i can do it again some time
