American Gateway – 4 DaysHello! To whoever may be reading this or considering doing this tour, I just wanted to say that yes, it's worth it but there are some caveats and serious considerations I would take into account. Firstly, it is quite a wild ride and lots of things happening but of course, that's what happens on such a short limited time. The benefits and highlights to this are that you do get to see some great things and a real quickstop of great places/monuments particularly with New York and Washington D.C. In Philadelphia, it's almost way too short (30 mins tops!) to enjoy it but at least in those two other major cities, you have a decent amount of time (washington could easily be a whole other day though). The accomodations are all great, with most surprisingly having breakfast included (sometimes even when we didn't expect it). It's a pretty well-run tour with some tight logistics that all managed to work out well in the end. However, I do want to add some constructive feedback for the future and it's part of why I'm tempted to give the tour 3 stars but since I still enjoyed myself from the vivid highlights, I'll leave it at 4 stars. But for those doing this tour, and for the tour operators please note: -I wish that communication was far more responsive beforehand in terms of understanding the logistics and timeframes a bit better. Though the site has a seemingly detailed itinerary brochure (which mostly matches), we didn't really receive a confirmed schedule/booking/meeting points and times until almost 2 days before. I think even the day before. It was kinda stressful to say the least. -There were times the operator/booking agent got back to me fairly quickly but other times not so much. I'm unsure if this is consistent with others but it could be hit or miss when it comes to communication. However, they were always incredibly friendly and did incredibly well to resolve our issues with some things. -Beware the additional fees involved. We were charged a fuel fee (that later was retracted back thankfully because it was added in after we had already paid for the tour). There are services fees involved and these are per day and per person and to me, not cheap and should really be included in the original price of the tour. I would have much preferred to have known the initial cost beforehand before paying for this later. But regardless, $15 USD per day per person is to me, highway robbery. -Though there's alot of optional activities, just be careful you dont get roped into doing one without really knowing about it. In washington, we were sort of following the group and got involved on a tour of the capitol and later we were charged for it. I was happy to pay for it as it really was incredible but it did feel a bit misleading and unless I missed this being explicitly told, I think somehow it should have been advertised better before we went in. -Niagara falls is only on the American side and it's not the beauty that you might think of it from the Canadian side. It's still nice but definitely not what we were expecting. -There is alot of time on the bus. Sometimes from 7am and then getting back at 9pm or even 10pm. We skipped the last day because of this but it is what you sign up for so just beware. I'd somehow want to break this up better or reduce lunch hours but that's just part of the tour package so just a heads up. Some days were incredibly long. -Our tour guide Sammy was incredibly friendly but I must admit as in the kindest way possible, he did have tendencies to be quite loud and shout alot. To me, he was a little bit intense but that's just his personality. I do wish the microphone on the bus was quieter and despite sometimes him changing his voice to accommodate me, for the most part it was just crazy loud and I resorted to my headphones. -It's still bilingual but there is an obvious influence towards the Chinese speaking demographic (particularly with some restaurants). Not too much of a problem as there's plenty of food going around and I love the culture but the main tour company is run for this market. Personally, I didn't mind it at all and they were all very friendly and lovely. It just made speaking english to others a bit difficult haha. -Oh, there is another tour company employed by InterTrips to run this. Which might explain the sometimes delays in communication. So, just a heads up. Overall, still an unbelievable trip and well worth it for the 6 days they manage to squeeze alot and I mean, alot in. It's not a relaxing trip. But it is a crazy adventure and hopefully one that you'll love. I certainly still did. Thank you Intertrips!!!

- Summer 2026
Summer opens the door to evening activities and outdoor shows. Tours catch peak performance season at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, while timing other stops for festivals in Memphis and also New Orleans. The Maid of the Mist boat rides at Niagara Falls are a highlight - you'll get properly soaked as you approach those massive cascades. Street performers and outdoor markets bring extra life to walking routes through Boston's historic areas, Philadelphia's Independence Mall and DC's National Mall. Evenings expand with options like Manhattan sunset cruises, Savannah ghost walks and also live jazz in New Orleans' outdoor courtyards.

Fall brings perfect temps and rich colors to the East. Tours time their Blue Ridge Mountain routes between Charleston and Asheville to catch the leaves at their peak. The Biltmore Estate becomes even more special in autumn - our travelers love seeing the gardens in full color before heading inside for wine tasting. Several routes mix Philadelphia's historic walks with seasonal treats at Reading Terminal Market. The weather's just right for exploring DC's monuments, taking quiet drives through Amish Country and also wandering New Orleans' above-ground cemeteries with guides who share the real stories behind the stones.

When the Maid of the Mist pauses operations, our travelers discover a different side of Niagara Falls through the scenic tunnels - where frozen cascades create nature's ice sculpture show. Several tours combine time at Philadelphia's warm, bustling Reading Terminal Market with intimate visits to Amish family homes in Lancaster County. Washington DC's schedule shifts focus to the excellent free museums, giving you plenty of time to explore American history at the National Archives and Smithsonian.
