    This was an ultra-well-organised tour, all facilities and information was of the highest quality. The tour guides were hand-picked to make sure that all tour guests had the best experience in their own language (even two tour guides if that was necessary. Exemplary experience, I can highly recommend this company as Top Notch.

    Make good review for tour in usa for 4 days related to good hotels on time professional tour guide and very good experience ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Here’s Fantastic 4-Day Tour in the USA – Highly Recommend! We had an incredible 4-day tour in the USA that exceeded all our expectations! From the start, everything was perfectly organized, and the entire experience was seamless. The hotels we stayed at were top-notch, offering both comfort and convenience. Each hotel was centrally located, which made it easy for us to explore the local area during our free time. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed to unwind after a full day of sightseeing. Our tour guide was amazing—always on time, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about each destination. They went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in the group was comfortable and enjoying themselves. They shared fascinating historical insights, fun facts, and even gave us personalized tips for exploring each city on our own. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to see and experience a great deal without feeling rushed. Whether it was visiting iconic landmarks, enjoying local cuisine, or simply taking in the beautiful scenery, every day brought something special. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the USA with a professional and well-organized company. We’ll definitely be booking again for future trips!

    While the Niagara full trip was well-organized and enjoyable, I must express some disappointment with the Washington portion of our journey. During our time in Washington, we felt that our itinerary did not allow us to explore the city's attractions as much as we would have liked. Spending a significant amount of time at the cemetery felt like a missed opportunity to experience the vibrant culture and history of Washington. In future trips, I suggest considering a more balanced itinerary that allows for ample time to explore the various attractions and landmarks that each destination has to offer.

    The sights were amazing but this is a lot of ground covered in a short amount of time. Perfect if you have few days and want to see as much as you can but it’s a little exhausting. Would have loved two days in Washington to see everything and not feel rushed. Our guides were wonderful. Joseph was especially interesting and thorough. The hotels were very good but would have liked to reach them a little earlier in the evening to settle in. Nevertheless, we had an awesome time and the impressions of the iconic sights seen will stay with us always.

    The first two days were good. The third day continued in another bus where WiFi did not work. Breakfast and departure times are too tightly scheduled. Either breakfast is too late or the bus leaves too early. Since the toilets in the buses are not to be used, the breaks to visit the restrooms have to be timed shorter. 3 hours ride is too long here especially for older participants without a break. The stop at the Amish could have been saved and only leads to an unnecessarily long day. All tour guides should be emphasized, they were very friendly, competent and eager.
