Hotels being miles from anywhere spoilt what could have been an amazing trip.

Exactly what we expected. Great hotels in good locations. Comfy coach. Packed itinerary(even if that meant getting up early) Lovely guide(France) who had fantastic knowledge of the places we visited. Loved the whole trip.
15th August 2017
Great tour but could probably have done with longer in Philadelphia. Arrived one afternoon and left around lunch time the next day. Also one day in New York is never enough!!!

A fabulous experience. As it was the first time we had been to America we were unsure what to expect, this tour was an ideal way to expolre.

All round good visit to somewhere we wanted to see. The falls were amazing. The trip was marred by two travellers who did not have visas for Canada which held us up

17th September 2016
Excellent hotels although Washington hotel rather far out and not very easy to return to if wanting to stay in city at end of city tour. Very early starts most days so make sure you are fit enough.Often meant no breakfast until first comfort stop as hotel breakfast quite expensive.
