Tours4fun took us on a marvelous trip from New York to Washington and to Boston and to Niagara Falls. It was a four day tour with clear instructions, good hotels and surprise complimentary breakfasts. The bus was very comfortable and the driver was a responsible person. We had good stops for photography and although our night time check-in was late and the wake up time was early,.it was necessary to ensure we get the best timing possible. Will recommend tours4fun to all.
A wonderful trip to the East and the United States.

A trip to the eastern United States, from Philadelphia's historic imprint to the political heart of the District of Columbia, to the natural wonders of Niagara Falls, and finally the academic atmosphere of Boston, makes every stop impressive. The history and culture of these cities is brought to life by the expert commentary of our guest guides, and her Trips are thoughtful and full of surprises, ensuring that we can experience the unique charm of each place in depth. Whether it's at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, the Capitol in the District of Columbia, or the spectacular views of Niagara Falls, Bing has enriched our Trips with her passion and knowledge.

Fantastic trip which packed lots in over the four days of must do sights in america. Hotel choices used by the operator also very good making it very good value for money. I can’t think of a better way to do everything we did from Boston, to new York, to philadelphia, to Washington DC. niagara falls and then back to Boston. Very long days though with early starts and late finishes.
Great tour and great tour guide

We got to see what was listed in our Itinerary but our tour organizer wasn’t aware of our final destination because other groups of people were going different places. The Night tour of Niagara Falls wasn’t a real tour, but was made an expense anyway. Tour should’ve mentioned that it was in English and Mandarin.
