What people love about touring East Coast USA solo
- Southern Charms (from Atlanta to Savannah)
The Southern Charms tour exceeded my expectations! Our tour director, Susannah, was awesome - very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Likewise, our driver, Ronnie, was absolutely the best. The tour itinerary and our hotels were absolutely excellent. This was my first tour with GLOBUS and it will not be my last. IRELAND is next on my list. Thank you.
- Niagara Falls, Washington DC, Philadelphia & Amish Country 4D/3N (from New York)
Short and successful trip. Bamba experience managed this trip very efficiently. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, the accommodation was comfortable and the transportation was great too. We had a great group on our trip and it was so much fun!
- Fall Colours of New England
I personally enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. Well organized, all places to visit were chosen thoughtfully. Our guide, Scott, was simply the very right person for the tour, polite and entertaining. There is one comment though I’d like to submit. If only they could afford to give us more quality time to spend on all places we visited, instead of spending so much time on restroom stops, or eating places, I would say the trip was just excellent. still, we loved it very much.
