With a bit of improvement, it can be an amazing tour production company. The guys really worked hard and deserved credit for that. They also need to reshape the tour to add some flexibility in case something goes wrong.

I didn’t find the tour attractive. The attractions were good but there is so much more to improve in management. The main concern was hotel accommodation despite most people liking the hotels we stayed in.

I will give this tour five stars because it was one of the most amazing tours I have ever been with. Everything about this tour was amazing, the management, the hotels we stayed in is, and the shuttle bus service and everything else was on point. We had plenty of options to explore the towns on our own as well.

It was a wonderful tour. I liked every bit of it and it was an amazing adventure and a good experience to explore NYC in this way. I had never explored NYC before like this and I really liked visiting every destination.

We really enjoyed almost every thing in that tour, the organization was great and the tour guide was really great guy. Also the hotels we were at were really cozy and clean. We visited a lot of great places like Washington D.C, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, Ground Zero, NASCAR Hall of Fame, Liberty Bell, Capitol Hill, CNN Studios, Lincoln Memorial, Luray Caverns, Korean War Memorial, Library of Congress, Christiana Mall. In my opinion this was one of the best tours i have ever participated.

I would really like to thank my friend who had referred me to Golden Bus Tours, I had many tours with different agencies before, But really Golden Bus Tours is by far one of the best agencies i have dealt with, very organized and their customer service is excellent. I would also like to thank the tour guide who was really helpful guy and he was very professional and well educated. i was really happy about that package.
