I was planning on this trip with my brother from the time we reached New York 2 days ago. On the first day the transportation was good and on timing, our tour guide was also a very jolly person. the first day ended with the tailored night tour which was nice. The hotel rooms were average. The next day we visited a lot of places but it was in a hurry. As we were tired from day 2 many were sleepy on the next day. day4 was good as we had time to relax and the Rhodes island was the best tour. The last two days were a relaxing ending, also on the last day I was sick but the team took good care of me.

we were already in LA for a month and wanted to see New York city, we (my wife and kids along with me) had a month before our return to Australia. At first, we wanted to travel by ourselves but then we went with the idea of booking a planned tour. I was always interested in the history and nature of America so we decided to pick this tour, all of us were satisfied with the hotels and bus service and the tour guide was a normal experienced person. Some days we were in a hurry and exhausting because of so many places to visit but the rooms were comfortable and relaxing.
