This trip was one magical dream come true for me. The best thing was that GoldenBus Tours covered everything in all details and gave us a memorable holiday to enjoy. We were a group of 4 people and the tour catered well to each of our needs and likes. This made our entire trip very smooth and free of stress. Definitely Recommended!

This was a casual affair and my parents gave me this tour ticket this time. Generally, it is some food coupon or a movie ticket, but this time it was a bus tour. This was a 7 day tour and took to visiting some of the best places namely, Rhode Island, Niagara Falls, Boston, Philadelphia and other important places.
