    Good tour, but very (too!) short excursions. Driver got lost on drive to Washington DC and we lost 2.5 hours of time that evening arriving late. Would liked to have had an orientation meeting with tour guide on first day evening. Your provided tour itinerary on-line is very old and obsolete - several items listed are wrong and had to be corrected by the tour guide when we asked!

    I would like to share my experience for the future travellers to be aware of the challenges they might face when travelling to the USA. I have booked my trip on January for myself and my friend and we have encountered several problems: -1 - VISA to the US.Please be aware that you might need a Visa, an ESTA would not suffice. In this case try to fill in the application asap as the waiting times for an interview date is over three months. We could not secure an interview date before our original tour departure date (April) hence we had to reschedule our tour date to September which costed us £200/person. My friend had an interview date just 10 days before the departure date, thought this would be very very stressful and wanted to cancel the tour altogether in time (within 60 days before the departure date) and we've been told that in this case there will be no refund at all, she will lose all her payment (due to the previous rescheduling). She's had her Visa/Passport just in the very last minute so she could join the tour but the late purchase of the flight ticket costed her double. -2-no transfer available from the airport to the hotel, you have to book your own transfer -3-to our shock on the very first day in NY our tour guide informed us that due to crossing the border to Canada (Niagara Falls) we might encounter problems with our Visa. As we had 10 year Visa to the US we did not have any problems finally, but this had been an unnecessary/avoidable stress and this issue (Canada Visa problems) had been nowhere specified by the travel agent beforehand. -4- this was supposed to be an English speaking tour, but because the majority of the group were Germans, turned out to be a German speaking one. Our tour guide really tried to translate everything, but we've still missed out a lot, not to mention losing lots of precious time. -5-the tour turned out to be a basic one: done only what was absolutely necessary, nothing more. The optionals in NY weren't mentioned and the others had gone ahead only if weather permitting or fulfilled the minimum of 10 travellers criteria. -6- we had only one(!) proper breakfast included (in Williamsport) in seven days + two breakfast vouchers (valid for a bagel/muffin + hot drink) in Washington DC and no dinner at all (original plan included a group dinner?) On the other hand we had several breaks during the long travels between destinations, the scenery and the cities spectacular, the hotels are very good and the tour guide had been knowledgeable and helpful.

    We were not told that it was a German and English tour. Ms Pagan spoke alternately English and German. It was very hard for our brains to switch back and forth and we lost all our concentration. We had ten in our group and were very agonizing in communication on the bus The bus was old, lack of ventilation, most of the cup holders were broken. the toilet facility on the bus lacks of ventilation as sitting at the back near the toilet smells bad whenever some one used it We were all under the assumption that breakfast was included as we always experienced in our tours such as Gate One where all breakfasts were included. As it was except for one none of the breakfast was included

    I enjoyed this tour very much as it was well organized and allowed me a good insight into the American culture, its history and development. The hotels and excursions were excellent. Our tour guide Asja was knowledgeable, resourceful and tirelessly energetic. Our driver Omar was extremely good in all respects.
