  • Tour was fairly enjoyable, and we saw most of the advertised attractions. The two hotels, Sheraton in Niagara Falls, and Hilton Woburn in Boston were a good standard. However, there were some downsides: when we arrived at the pickup at The Bowery, it was raining, and we were asked to drag our luggage two city blocks to the coach. The guide gave us some confusing information about the itinerary. Watkins Glen National Park was advertised but we did not see it.

  • Overall the trip was amazing and it's a perfect way to cover a lot of places in a short span of time. the tour guides were friendly and helpful. There were only 2 drawbacks in the entire trip....one being there were no plug points in the bus that made it very difficult to use the phone and the second is that we had to change the buses too often in a 3 day trip and caused a bit of inconvenience as we had to pick up our luggage and shift again and again. But apart from that, the trip was enjoyable and a success.
