Yaoting
I along with my 4 friends booked this long tour to New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Niagara Falls and Quebec City. It turned out to be a life time experience. I literally didn’t expected this to be that good. It has certainly surpassed my expectation. I would never forget this tour especially our visits to Madame Tussauds Wax museum, Niagara Falls and Corning Glass Museum. I must say, it was money well spent.
