Do you accommodate kids? Can you check and advise, and give the final price?

Unfortunately, this tour is designed for adults only, and we require all participants to be 18 years or older. At this time, we're unable to accommodate children under that age on this particular itinerary.

Should there be a problem this time with visa for USA as Australian citizens?

We recommend checking directly with the relevant government authorities or official immigration websites to confirm your current eligibility and entry requirements as an Australian citizen.

I have either never received or have misfiled final tour documents. I can see what is online but no detail on what time we meet for orientation at the Hotel on Day 1 arrival in NYC. And do we just check in to the Hotel on our own when we arrive - any particulars? We are arriving early that morning so hoping we can check in early, if room is available of course.

What time will our group orientation be on Day 1 Saturday, May 24 at the Hotel? That is presuming we are having a meeting. If so, can you please advise?

Can a 17 year old travel in this. And is all meals included in this?

Does this price include entry tickets as well. What are the additional charges we have to pay

What is the discount policy for new customers?

There can be a 3% discount for new customers. Please confirm specific discount options with customer service.

Do you offer age restrictions exceptions for the tour?

While the age range for the tour is 18 to 59, exceptions can be made depending on the demography of the departure.

How will I know which hotel in New York we will be staying? As we are not from USA, we want to plan our stay in advance, and beyond the dates of the tour.

You can see accommodations on the itinerary. However, please note that our hotel list to be finalized 30 days prior to departure date.

Can I still get a refund if I cancel my tour outside the 60-day limit?

If you cancel your booking more than 60 days prior to departure, the deposit is retained by Travel Talk.

The suggested Itinerary - TOUR CODE #239350 can it be customized?

Unfortunately, we do not customize our itineraries. However, we offer a range of tours that might meet your preferences. If you'd like, we can help with any specific questions you have regarding the tour.

At no time were we told of the tour company name. I found out at the hotel when we got there. Wasn't even sure if hotel was correct. Was informed that tour was in English never told about German. Made trip difficult. Two groups one English speaking and one German no one communicated. Tour manager was very rude to bus driver who was only asking what did she want to do re places to stop etc. Tour manager very disorganised and no plan in place. Should have had introductory meeting on first night to introduce everyone and explain itinerary and protocols but didn't. Bus driver was awesome and helpful especially to boy in wheelchair. He was also patient with tour manager. Some excursions eg night tour of Washington dc very boring. Visit to Amish country was a furphy as we only got to visit a roadside stall to buy cakes. Some information from tour manager was incorrect. Eg Niagara Falls being oldest park in North America...wrong Yellowstone is.Show more

I would like to share my experience for the future travellers to be aware of the challenges they might face when travelling to the USA. I have booked my trip on January for myself and my friend and we have encountered several problems: -1 - VISA to the US.Please be aware that you might need a Visa, an ESTA would not suffice. In this case try to fill in the application asap as the waiting times for an interview date is over three months. We could not secure an interview date before our original tour departure date (April) hence we had to reschedule our tour date to September which costed us £200/person. My friend had an interview date just 10 days before the departure date, thought this would be very very stressful and wanted to cancel the tour altogether in time (within 60 days before the departure date) and we've been told that in this case there will be no refund at all, she will lose all her payment (due to the previous rescheduling). She's had her Visa/Passport just in the very last minute so she could join the tour but the late purchase of the flight ticket costed her double. -2-no transfer available from the airport to the hotel, you have to book your own transfer -3-to our shock on the very first day in NY our tour guide informed us that due to crossing the border to Canada (Niagara Falls) we might encounter problems with our Visa. As we had 10 year Visa to the US we did not have any problems finally, but this had been an unnecessary/avoidable stress and this issue (Canada Visa problems) had been nowhere specified by the travel agent beforehand. -4- this was supposed to be an English speaking tour, but because the majority of the group were Germans, turned out to be a German speaking one. Our tour guide really tried to translate everything, but we've still missed out a lot, not to mention losing lots of precious time. -5-the tour turned out to be a basic one: done only what was absolutely necessary, nothing more. The optionals in NY weren't mentioned and the others had gone ahead only if weather permitting or fulfilled the minimum of 10 travellers criteria. -6- we had only one(!) proper breakfast included (in Williamsport) in seven days + two breakfast vouchers (valid for a bagel/muffin + hot drink) in Washington DC and no dinner at all (original plan included a group dinner?) On the other hand we had several breaks during the long travels between destinations, the scenery and the cities spectacular, the hotels are very good and the tour guide had been knowledgeable and helpful.Show more

We were not told that it was a German and English tour. Ms Pagan spoke alternately English and German. It was very hard for our brains to switch back and forth and we lost all our concentration. We had ten in our group and were very agonizing in communication on the bus The bus was old, lack of ventilation, most of the cup holders were broken. the toilet facility on the bus lacks of ventilation as sitting at the back near the toilet smells bad whenever some one used it We were all under the assumption that breakfast was included as we always experienced in our tours such as Gate One where all breakfasts were included. As it was except for one none of the breakfast was includedShow more
