Last summer I feel so left out when my colleagues were talking about the bus tour they experience from Miami. so, on my vacation, I decided to take my wife on this tour from Miami and visit those places they were offering us. We found so many options towards on this tour package on the first day like we were offered so many options to spend overnight they were taking us to the Fort Lauderdale show Cruise and then the offer does whether we wanted to visit the main army South beach and enjoy the nightlife scene there. We arrived in Miami right at the time they mentioned us and then we were treated like the kings for the management the point is it is very well there is coded as to the hotels on our first day and welcome do and they handed over as the schedule for the remaining day journey. I was shocked by the amazing services and the and The Cruise way to get the millionaire row where the millionaire houses were located. on the next day, they took us to the key west and then we explored the Miami Everglades national park and on the fourth day they took us to New York and before that we explored the Lauderdale once more.at the end of the day, we concluded that that where was really amazing and is perfect for friends and family.

We already knew that we are not going to enjoy this too well when we knew when we found out that they are going to be a massive community of people going to be on board with us they speak no English no family language they have a different culture and all that. the diversity on the bus disappointed us with the immense amount of yelling and children shouting it just destroyed my peace and the kind of tour experience I was expecting in the start. We came from India and would like to visit some of the finest places and the major cities in America.so we took this bus tour and this bus tour disappointed does with the diversity of people and ill-mannered uneducated and I don't know how they got into in our country. Anyhow the point is that we don't have any privacy but we have so many peoples on the bus which destroyed my peace. I will be talking about the Miami South beach and the cutest city in Florida which are the two most favorite attractions for me. there was so much to do in this Pashto and we decided to do less stuff and enjoy more and stay away from those weird people on the bus they try to interact so many times with me then you that I was living around The United States so they try to get along me but I stay away I think it will management should do something about it.

I think the Madame Tussaud museum is dying out because of the lack of attraction of the wax cultures because the people are losing interest in the back sculptures or because they are dying out or melting out and most importantly not having a purpose. There are so many places we explored on this journey we join from Miami City. First day offers that we are going to either visited the Fort Lauderdale City or we are going to go for the Miami South beach which was the south beach Miami because we are go when you that we are going to enjoy so much at the beach because we had so much about that place and the beaches are really pristine there and the people are really nice with some attraction around the show and I knew that the Miami beach is one of the top places and the people are coming in a crowd so it leads to a lot of mess. The mega yachts and the millionaire row were really unimpressive view while we were cruising down the river the tour guide told us that this city is nicknamed as the Venice of America. I don't understand why they took us to the Cuban cigar shops on you they were oldest in the town but why we explored that little Havana City full of Cuban cigar shops with don't smoke and we don't appreciate smoking tobacco so I think we should engage with the changes that what they are going to like to visit or how they want to spend their time well then wasting it. which pen the great time in Everglades National Park and the airboat Cruise winds through the different ecosystem of the region and it was amazing.

There are so many things I'd like to talk about this to her but first of all, I like to mention that there should be more guidance about the Fort Lauderdale Cruise. the crew started out really find from the riverside and they traveled through the millionaire row. and another thing about the experience is that the Everglades National Park is a huge Park, unfortunately, we have to only explore the great sports which were located at the front of the park and we didn't go inside in the center of the park, rather it got a little lazy and the airport to use helpless explored the wildlife of the park. on the last day of the two words we explore the entire city of Washington DC and the great thing is that spending all the days in the city at the end of the day the drop test of at the and TCA airport which was really convenient for us because we took the flight straight from our hometown from the DCA airport. I like the way the tour was delivered to the US and I would like to take another bus tour with my entire family on the next summer holidays because I really want to show my family that these two really exist who provide professional and luxurious services to all the visitors. Thanks a lot for the great services.

The time we travel to the Philadelphia I was so excited that we are going to the observatory where we had said we have heard so much about the observatory there that it is the tallest in the region and all that. The tour guide told us that we are going to make the first stop at the Independence Hall Park where you are going to tour the Liberty Bell Congress stall and stand exactly where the American constitution and democracy was first signed in the earliest days of the country. the tour at Philadelphia and Washington DC helped me refresh my love and affection for the country because I forgot all the great sacrifice is our heroes made before making the country and I love the monuments and memorials were made in Washington DC just to honors the great heroes of our country thanks a lot for showing as the greatest places in Washington DC, Philadelphia. I knew that the New York city was not going to treat us well with all the huge crowd they have and the tour guide also mentioned that the New York City is the largest and most populous city in America so we knew that we are going to be dealing with a lot of people as well as the bustling culture. there was so much to do at the Miami Beach be offered a cocktail and we said down in at the beach and the weather was really perfect for just a cool relaxing evening.

I was hoping that we could be more fun for us because we were just exploring the famous places in Washington DC and in New York. The con of exploring the top-notch attraction is that we have to deal with the huge amount of people already visiting that place. the next thing we found about this to erase that they have a huge amount of people on board with the diversity of ethnicity coming from all around the world and the tour guide to Dede really great job and guiding all the visitor's about the tour and telling them to act in an educated man like the kids wearing all the way in the bus and we feel so unaware about that and we couldn't do anything about it say rather than telling it and complaining it to the to a host on the bus he just all the lady to shed their kids mouth because someone is sleeping bag and the bus. we already paid so much for this bus 201t to spend more on the food and the hotels and the bad thing we found is that the hotels were really expensive we should read the limits we have to borrow some money from our friends back home. repeated some shopping already in Miami at the linking road so we don't have to buy some other stuff for the families and relatives to give them as the gifts although we have got so many so many years and the stuff the tourist buys. Cheers to the great team!

It was amazing the way we explored the linking road on the day. after that we added to the Miami South Beach, we have so much about that and the art Street was located just around that corner of South beach of Miami. the tour host told us that the Everglades National Park is the largest conversations on in the country and we were feeling so excited about that conversation on to be explored by us. I was majorly excited because of the fact that the host was the really impressive attitude towards all the guests provided us with all the information and provide us with great sports to explore and everything was well managed by him thanks a lot for that great person. I wasn't expecting that we could be that much fun for my family and myself because we were expecting the two words could be more tiring and exhausting because every place, we visited has an hour interval and we constantly jump to another location from another and so on. there are so many things I like to mention about this stupid like the time we had at the Washington DC at the White House the brief tour at the White House has to take some photographs as well as the US Capitol. It was such a nice tour, we enjoyed it. I would like to take another bus tour in the next winters and hopefully we would like to visit the Niagara falls this time because we have seen the Miami Beach on this tour and so many other places like the DC.

The tour management started the tour from Miami and then where did over to so many wonderful cities and places like the Fort Lauderdale and so on. Later the days I wanted to mention the tour in New York. the tour guide told us that the next morning you have to come up really energetic because we are going to explore the New York city all by our self on the next day so we woke up really fresh and we came all the way prepared for this New York city tour which doesn't seem like super exhausting because we were just sitting around the bus and wandering around the places which doesn't sound much exhausting and tiring like the tour guide mentioned as. The best thing about that day was that we experience the Hudson river cruise and we get closer to the statue of liberty which floor the metropolitan museum of art and on the next day we had to explore the Washington DC White house and Philadelphia which was really amazing. The day we were going to conclude this tour and depart for our hometown because that work was finished and the dropping price to the New York airports so we could just take the flights after 9:00 p.m. was really great because I was worried that we are going to spend in an engine at night after the two ends.

We had a great sampling of the amazing sightseening around New York, DC, Philly, Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Everglades National Park and Miami. We read all of the reviews and decided to go with them. Highly recommend GoldenBustours Company.

So if you would like a fun tour and memorial tour of many cities, This tours is the way to go! Online booking was a snap and our confirmation was received within minutes. We also got a follow-up email with information as to where to meet etc. Guy was our very seasoned bus driver he got us through the daily snarls of traffic, Also the tour guide. Both of them were really informative and pretty funny.
