What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Northeast USA
- New England's Fall Foliage (Classic)
The tour was well organised, guests were treated well and information provided by Cyndi (Cynthia) Cramblett was very useful. Cynthia was resourceful and knowledgeable on all the places visited and there was a consistent flow of information on the places visited as well as on the route. Our bus operator, Jeremiah aka Jerry was a fantastic individual and resourceful.
- Niagara Falls, Washington DC, Philadelphia & Amish Country 4D/3N (from New York)
Niagra falls surely is the eighth wonder of the world and assisted with great tour guide and tour operator like Bamba experience, the overall experience becomes much more treasured. Great trip arranged by Bamba experience.
