I have been on different tours previously but this one was surely one of the most amazing ones till now. I love traveling but also don’t like poor accommodations. This tour had amazing facilities whether it is the transportation or the hotels. There was a very strange combination of the sites chosen but this saved the tour from becoming boring. The tour guide was a very jolly person and I enjoyed his company as well as his knowledge of every place especially the Georgia Institute of Technology and the White House.
Heng
I recommend this tour because I chose this tour when I was with my son who had come to visit me from the university. We were looking for a way to spend our time together and also making it interesting. My son asked me to book this tour which was recommended by one of his friends. I would recommend this if you are willing to spend a good vacation with your family because there were great accommodations everywhere there were proper facilities for people who got sick or the adults who had a problem walking long distances
Zhou
The tour all together was a thrilling experience. This tour included a taste of every kind of tourist site. From natural caves to cruises, this tour covered everything. The most interesting portion was the memorials and historic places which made us realize the honorable sacrifices and past of our country. My mother and I enjoyed the shopping at the end of the tour. The hotel rooms were great and we got good sleep all through the tour. My mother had some medical concerns which were being well-taken care off by the staff.
Nigel
The selection of the places was good as well as the tour guide and transportation but the only thing that bothered me was the hotel accommodations which were not always good. But for the tour itself, my brother and I always enjoyed wherever we went also our tour guide was always telling about the places we visited. I am very interested in history so it was always a pleasure tagging along with the guide at such places.
Otto
My family selected this tour and although I preferred to travel by my own self I had to try touring companies. It was quite an amazing experience. This tour was very well organized except for the Newyork day because I kinda felt like it was all in a hurry but it was great to see all the art at the Metropolitan Museum. The hotel accommodations were also amazing which helped me recover fast from the fever I caught during the tour and surely was well treated. For me, the NASCAR Hall of Fame was the best place because I am really fond of racing.
Asher
This was my first ever trip to America and I wanted it to be mesmerizing. After consulting with my brother who had previously been living here, I came to a conclusion to book a tour for myself. This specific tour was a great choice because it included many great places. I am a nature-lover so Luray Caverns was the best local throughout the tour. The historic sites were fun because our guide told the history of the places sounding very interesting. The New York tour was well organized and the timing was also great. Strongly recommend.

The traveling was truly well managed as mentioned in the description even for places where there were a lot of attractions to visit. All the guests got good rest every night and my family never had complained regarding the hotel accommodations. We enjoyed the first three days very well because every place kind of fell into our interests. Anyhow, We were not allowed to shop at the 5th avenue on the last day so I didn’t see any solid reason for paying a visit there. However, some of the places on this tour are now my favorites which include the Lincolns Memorial and the US Capitol

In my opinion this was one of the best travel agencies i have dealt with, The tour was really very well organized the tour guide was really nice guy and funny, and he were also very professional. We saw a lot of great places like Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State Capitol, Atlanta Olympic Park, CNN Studios, Georgia Aquarium, NASCAR Hall of Fame, City Hall, Luray Caverns, Madame Tussauds Museum, Oval Office, White House. Also we really enjoyed One Liberty Observation Deck, Empire State Building, USS Intrepid, Wall Street, Charging Bull, Metropolitan Museum.

I was really amazed by that tour, on the first day we visited Georgia Aquarium which is the world’s largest aquarium! it was more than amazing, my kids were extremely happy about it. On day 2 we visited NASCAR Hall of Fame which honors the drivers, who have shown extraordinary competence in NASCAR. In Washington D.C. and we visited Potomac River in Washington DC for some sightseeing and Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. Also we enjoyed Christiana Mall in Delaware. It was really an amazing 8 days.
