  "This is a good tour if you want to learn about different parts of southern American history. Some days you’re always going to be on the move and some days you’ll only spend half the day on a tour. It’s a good trip. Also if you want to check out different cities down south where you might want to visit again or perhaps move to one day.

  "The overall organization prior to the beginning of the tour was great and sufficient. Very friendly and helpful guides! They knew the best photo spots and provided some general background information. I would have liked a bit more facts about the places we visited and additional information such as historic dates and fun facts and so on though. The bus and driver were great as well. Unfortunately, some locations were closed due to public holidays and the upcoming presidential inauguration in Washington D.C. The guides provided good alternatives but it would have been nice to know in advance, that the itinerary needs to be slightly changed. The stops in Washington from were a bit rushed and a lot of walking was involved, which might not be suitable for children and elderly people. We went to the Canadian side for the Niagara Falls. This was not specifically mentioned on the itinerary. Even upon asking beforehand whether we will be leaving the US, it was said that we will not go to the Canadian side. This should have been clearly stated on the itinerary. For return trips to New York, a lot of time was spent on the bus (up to 4 hours). It would have been nice to know this in advance to better prepare. Overall great experience - I would recommend the tour in general.

  "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.
