What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in East Coast USA
- Colours of New England
This was a terrific tour and I recommend it to everyone! The tour guide, Susanne was very knowledgeable and has a very dry wit (listen closely or you'll miss, and it's great!). Every place on the tour was a perfect example of any-and-every thing you would expect to see in New England. Expect to wake up early, see a lot and be home by sundown. Some of our fellow tourists chose to arrive a few days early, to see more of Boston (you only spend a day there, at the end) and I wish I had done that. Also, there is an extended 3-day tour of New York City, if you wish to add that onto your tour. If you have never been to NY, then I would recommend adding it. Thanks, AmericanTours International! P.S, "Good Morning, Dave!" (we love you)
It was great. We has a lovely time. The tour director, Esther, was very experienced and knowledgeable. The driver, Mark, was very kind. The places covered was more than adequate and we saw/experienced a lot more than we expected

A TourRadar traveler shared: "The places we visited were all well thought out and the accommodations were excellent."
What's the typical daily schedule like on a coach tour in East Coast USA?
Days begin between 7-8am with tours balancing travel time and meaningful stops. A typical day between Boston and Washington DC includes 3-4 hours of coach travel broken up by extended visits to notable sites. Stops range from Philadelphia's Liberty Bell to NYC landmarks with 1-2 hours at each location. Tours reach hotels like the Holiday Inn Boston-Cambridge Area or Capital Hilton DC by early evening around 5-6pm allowing time for independent exploration or optional activities. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The schedule was well-planned with enough breaks between long drives and just the right amount of time at major attractions."
How do bus tours in East Coast USA accommodate stops for sightseeing and relaxation?

We never felt rushed and had time to really enjoy each stop."

Tours often time drives to catch optimal lighting conditions like sunset on Cape Cod or early morning at Niagara Falls. Most coaches come equipped with large windows for clear views. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The panoramic windows gave us amazing views along the coast and through the mountains. Our guide pointed out things we would have missed on our own."

Tours typically provide 2-4 hours of independent exploration daily in major cities. In New York City for instance morning guided tours are often followed by free afternoons perfect for exploring Greenwich Village or attending Broadway shows.
