What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in USA
- Magnificent West - 7 Days
Excellent trip. There was a lot of driving but it was worth it. We had excellent guides with information that wasn't listed on the website. There was a lot of driving but many stops to break that up. I have been on a number of tours in America and Europe and found the hotels on this tour to much nicer than in the past. The tours of Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon were nothing less than SPECTACULAR. The guides on the bus and at the sites were more than knowledgeable. The bus was top of the line. I have already spread the name of this company to friends and family. Next year I will be looking for my next trip with this company. Judy Lockie, Ontario, Canada.
- Death Valley Day Tour from Las Vegas- Small Groups Tour
This is a tour that gives you a sample of the several landmark views of Death Valley (1-day trip) and Grand Canyon / Monument Valley / Zion (3-day trip). Since the parks are huge, you spend a lot of time going from one place to the other using their van. The van was comfortable and spacious. The tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable about history and other aspects of the places we visited. This is a great trip to know the key landmarks and views from the park.
- Niagara Falls, Washington DC, Philadelphia & Amish Country 4D/3N (from New York)
Beautiful combination of both natural beauty and marvelous man-made structures. Bamba arranged great hotels for us to stay with customization on the meals (mainly breakfast) provided to us.The tour guide had a good sense of humor and was very detailed in his understanding of each and every sight we visited. The trip to Niagara falls was the highlight the Bamba experience and the tour guide made sure we have a wonderful experience. All in all it was a great tour.
