What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Northeast USA
- Niagara, Philly & Washington - 4 days
First half well organized. Learned jowl beautiful Italian is as a spoken language. Hotels were good.
Good tour. Great destinations, though some were long drives apart. Guide was very good. Hotels very good.
Great Eastern Cities
The sights were amazing but this is a lot of ground covered in a short amount of time. Perfect if you have few days and want to see as much as you can but it’s a little exhausting. Would have loved two days in Washington to see everything and not feel rushed. Our guides were wonderful. Joseph was especially interesting and thorough. The hotels were very good but would have liked to reach them a little earlier in the evening to settle in. Nevertheless, we had an awesome time and the impressions of the iconic sights seen will stay with us always.
