I admired the tour mostly because they provided us great hotels, and took us to great places in Boston, Dc, New York, and in Philly. The Party was memorable, I have never had that much enjoyment like the one we had at Times Square. I think that’s a nice way to spend the New Year. I’d definitely go to New York for the Countdown celebrations for the next year as well. Lovely!

astounding to see the huge crowd at Time Square for the historic moment of the countdown, people from different cultures came to enjoy that. Glad, our tour management took us there with excellent guiding and luxury services. We loved the time on board, especially the Niagara Falls and at Washington DC.
