What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Northeast USA
- Niagara, Philly & Washington - 4 days
Had such an amazing time, Niagara is so beautiful!
- Great Eastern Cities
Good tour, but very (too!) short excursions. Driver got lost on drive to Washington DC and we lost 2.5 hours of time that evening arriving late. Would liked to have had an orientation meeting with tour guide on first day evening. Your provided tour itinerary on-line is very old and obsolete - several items listed are wrong and had to be corrected by the tour guide when we asked!
