We were waiting for our project to get completed to finally experience the bus tour with all of our colleagues. Our work company managed us booking the seats of this bus tour, and believe me, it’s the best tour I could have ever imagine. The places like the Niagara Falls, Empire State Building, Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, White House, Harvard University, and similar others were amazing to visit on the course of nine days. I’m really happy that we had very nice hotels to stay the night.

My wife and I planned on taking the kids out to the famous theme parks on their vacations from school. As the holiday season began, we booked the seats online and joined the team in Orlando. They just drove us to the theme parks in Orlando and similar regions; we had so many options to select any of the theme parks and explore it. Our kids enjoyed a lot at the Island of Adventures Park, thus we spend acouple of days there. This is the best bus tour with hotels and appropriate services as we discovered.

The very thought of going on a tour delights me and until the tour ended I was beaming with joy. The seats of the bus to the accommodation, everything was rightly organized. A 9 day tour and lovely places to visit included the premium outlet tour, Boston, Niagara Falls, and lots more.

I had been with my family to Washington DC and to Niagara Falls, Philadelphia and Boston with Golden bus. It is unbelievable that we visited so many places in such a short time. In fact, in each place we had enough time to spend and the entire tour was a magical experience. Our drive was smooth and the others traveling with us were also really great and now we all stay in touch. I would recommend this tour company!

One thing I really admire is that its optional tours, if don’t like to visit someplace we could have the alternative, such as instead of wasting our time at the Woodbury Outlets, we decided to go to the Atlantic City; the lavish casinos and the nightlife were absolutely enthralling. However, the day we spend at the Philadelphia &Washington DC could be less exhausting if don’t have to travel on our feet at the historical district and many sites in the Washington DC. It requires a lot of energy to fully enjoy the tour, but I loved the way it was. Thanks a lot!
