although, I have been to New York for a business meeting before. At that time, I didn’t realize that this city is a paradise for travelers. Finally got the chance to take a bus tour and plan a proper vacation to relax with my family. Starting off with the places, which were nicely picked and the timing had been messed up for two-three places because of the immense traffic. The hotels, however, didn’t provide what we expected. The eateries were good at every single place, especially the Clam Choders at Quincy Market was absolutely delicious. Other places were great and observing the history of the city and the view of it from the Empire State building was one of a kind. Despite the Times Event of New Year and Niagara Falls attractions, we loved discovering the true history of our country especially at the Independence National Historical Park and at the Washington DC. We have treated quite nicely by tour host on the bus. I think we should add more cruises on our tour such as we experienced at the Hudson River, Boston Harbor, and of course the Potomac River. It is one of the best tours I have ever experienced in past couple of decades. Cheers to the great team!

a very close friend of mine recommended us to take this bus tour on our Christmas Holidays. We booked our seats for this tour online; which deserve a massive appreciation for the great facility. Starting our tour New York made me think that It was just about it, but as the days go by we discovered about hundreds of locations in NY, Washington DC, Boston, and in Philadelphia. The true fun began when we arrived in Niagara Falls, we had so much time to fully explore the region, therefore, we decided to take the Jet Boats of Niagara; unforgettable experience. Then, my second-best experience began at the Times Square where we participated in the New Year Countdown. It was lovely celebrating we so many people, and the fireworks just made it even more wonderful. There was quite a nice group of people on board with we had families, friends, couples, and loner people on the bus, and I’m glad everybody seemed to have a wonderful time on board. Thank You and thank you my friendly Ashely for recommending this great bus tour. Just never forget to bring your camera while visiting.

I have been living in the United States in Boston about 2 years but never got the chance of enjoying the pleasurable and exciting feelings of New York as a spirit-full and vibrant city, as in fact, it is home to the best attractions of this country. Recently, I got the chance to travel to New York with some of my close friends and this tour was one of a kind. Well organized and sufficient it was. The eating options were also one of the best. Timings were perfect, however; the hotels were somehow not standardized and below the level. Rather than that everything was great even the tour guide was a jolly personality. This tour will surely count as one of the best trips not only because we toured the best places in DC, Boston, and Philadelphia but also because we get to celebrate the New Year at Times Square, which was truly the unforgettable part of my experience. We decided to participate in the New Year Cruise is, of course, the best because of that fact there was not a huge crowd on the boat, we were just sipping the bubbly and watching fireworks, listening to the DJ spins, while we were cruising. I loved the way the tour guide helped us in every bit. The way we have been guided in the Harvard University was remarkable we discovered the student culture, academics, and attractions of the campus. Such a lovely journey on a bus.

Our journey began in New York City and I remember that day we started it by heading over the Observatory of Empire State Building.  The building is not the tallest in the country but it seems like it is the tallest of all. It was a wonderful overview of Big Apple. We continue to Philadelphia where our tour operator, Jonathan, came out handy by telling us information of the historic landmarks which we had been touring in the Independence Park.  The time we spent in Washington DC was quite fun but it was exciting to see all the memorials and monuments. Finally, we reached Niagara Falls after a long ride on a bus. There, we spent the best time by photographing and taking the jet boat rides on the River of Niagara. I have heard about the Times Square New Year Countdown Event so much that this fun or it will take your breath away, it was fun but it wasn’t just that fun to dipping in the massive and overfilled crowd, lovely to see the fireworks, performances, as well as the booze. There are many on-tour charges which made it much costly than I thought. Since we had to travel a lot, I preferred watching movies and listening to the music while we were on long route. All places were great, and my whole family had a great time. Decent Hotels.

It was a perfect opportunity for us to board this amazing new bus tour right after the Christmas. I definitely admire the appropriate services provided to us by our travel host and how the tour the tour was managed and scheduled by the team. I think the tour is much more than the just the one day fun we had at the Times Square countdown area, before that, they drove us to the Niagara Falls, we explored the entire New York City, Washington DC, Boston, and Philadelphia. Very nice!

Although I admit the fact that there was a huge party in New York on New Year’s Eve but the fun was only for the premium participants. For free visitors like, we just stood there drinking and watching the massive light shows, performances, and then the huge firework. They should add more things to do for the free visitors. Rather than that, this bus tour helped us explore the best landmarks such as the White House, Empire State Building, Boston Harbor, Niagara Falls, and so many others. Thank you for this amazing tour.

As per the huge amount of fun we had on this tour, I don’t think this could have been any better than what it is already offering. Lovely time in Niagara Falls and New York, I certainly don’t mind sleeping late in the night and getting up early in the morning on the tour days. My family board on this tour on the Christmas Holidays and it certainly was one of the best tour experiences we had so far. It was lovely watching the Fireworks that filled up the entire sky in New York at 12:00 AM. Such a lovely time spent on this tour!
