Asked on August 12th, 2025Does it involve domestic flight from New York to Philadelphia? If yes, is the cost of domestic flight included in this package? Does the tour package is described as "fully guided". Does this include transport from hotel to airport (to and fro?)

Traveler•Written August 2025Does that there is no domestic flight within this 4 day tour? All transport will be provided by bus or van. At start of tour, I will need to assemble at Port Authority Bus Terminal, Day 1, 06:30. During the tour, the bus will bring me to tour assigned hotel at end of day, and pick up from same hotel at start of next day. At end of tour, the bus will drop me off at Port Authority Bus Terminal, Day 4, 21:00. Is my understanding correct?

Asked on January 13th, 2025Are we able to remain in the US side while others visit the Canada side?
- Empire VacationsOperator•Written January 2025
This tour does cross to the Canadian side by land therefore you do not need an eTA. If you have the paperwork to cross over to the Canadian side your hotel will be on the Canadian side. You might need Canadian visa which we recommend looking up online if it's necessary for you. If you are not able to cross we will make hotel accommodations on the American side. The US side hotel is Comfort Inn The Pointe. The Canadian side hotel is Ramada by Wyndham.
