What people love about East Coast USA Tours for Seniors
- Fall Colours of New England
The experience was wonderful, the tour guide, the driver and everyone involved in the support of the people during the trip. We went more places than mentioned in the brochure and the ones mentioned were great. The only disappointment was the timing of the colors. This is always a crap shoot and we were a week to early! However the other attractions on the tour made up for the colors. ***** Thanks to all the support staff !!
- Cape Cod & the Islands
Whale watching was awesome. Most hotels extremely nice. Room at Sheraton had very tiny bathroom
