5.00The tour was very interesting and well organized. The guide explained in a clear and engaging way the American history related to the itinerary, making the experience even more meaningful. The amish carriage ride was impressive, but I would make it even more complete with a more in-depth visit to the farm. In Washington, it was a shame to find the Aerospace Museum closed, and it would be nice to be able to add the internal visit to the White House.
Mini tour,... a surprise.

5.00Extended tour successfully! Extending the route from New York to include Philadelphia and Washington was a brilliant idea. Although the timing was tight, the visits to the monuments were really rich. Thanks to Andrea, superlative and proactive guidance in case of variations. Absolutely to do!
Totally worth it!

5.00Very comprehensive 2 day tour with good accommodation and great guide. Back office needs improving where person answering calls could not speak English and disconnected call. Many travellers I spoke to were confused by the pick up location instruction which as listed is a building site adjacent to the Bus Terminal. Meeting instructions need to simple state the entrance to the bus terminal on the north side of 42nd Street.
Memorable!
