The tour is great if you quickly want to snap some pictures of the major landmarks. You have no time to stop and enjoy things though. We ran through some areas like the wax museum because they give you barely anytime. I was disappointed that the air and space museum was the longest time because its not as interesting as... More

I booked this tour via Viator. booking was easy. the staff were outstanding with their knowledge of local sites, had friendly and helpful nature (especially Michael tour leader). I have been on various other tours with other companies in various parts of the world. the quality of the tour exceeded my expectation.

This could have been a fabulous trip, the tour content was great but was unprofessionally operated. Considering the amount of driving involved a much more comfortable van that is easy to get in and out of should have been provided. The guide was enthusiastic and shared lots of interesting information along the way, however much more consideration needs to be... More

My wife and I booked this trip through Viator as part of our honeymoon in June. Booking was very easy. We arrived at the meeting point and after a little confusion as to which bus we were on, we got seated and off we went. This is a popular tour so if you want to make sure that you are... More

We decided to book this tour via Viator instead of catching the train to Boston and organising our own itinerary. The tour sounded pleasant enough. We however experienced the worst tour in our many years of travel. Firstly, the Viator advert said we would be on a mini bus. This turned out to be a bus with 53 people. The... More

We booked the 2 day Niagara Falls trip from New York with Expedia.co.uk. Booking was easy and we knew that going by bus to Niagara Falls was going to be a long trip but we were prepared for a little discomfort. We arrived at the bus 15 minutes early and were told that the bus would be going on time... More

We booked this day trip from New York to Washington DC hoping to get a good view of the city and it's main attractions. It achieved this goal, but at the cost of a very stressful, unenjoyable shambles from a poorly organised outfit. We were at the meeting place early and all we saw was one sign, which lots of... More
