Pros:
Value for money.
Excellent itinerary, well planned
Covers a LOT of items in short time which is not possible personally
Great hotels.
Perfect time management.
Clear guidelines
Cons:
Difficult for Indians since focus is on Chinese language and food. Even if there are nearby options available, the guide will not tell you about them because those hotels dont give them commissions.
The guide does put in a lot of effort but his English is tough to grasp.
Too much focus on paid items.
Washington cruise is great but Whitehouse is like tokenism- you see better on TV.
Too hectic for elders- the guide forces you to walk so fast that you risk falling
Buses are old and not so comfortable
All the hotels are very nice. The tour covers basically all the famous places. I sometimes feel a bit rush but I'm glad to see so many places with 5 days!
Signed up for the 5-Day US East Coast Tour Package from New York on 11 Dec 2018 and it was perfect thanks to our tour guide Andy Day and driver(didnt get his name!). Itinerary was well planned and went according to schedule. Thanks to Andy we were able to know more about the history and interesting facts of USA. Would definitely recommend this tour and thank you again Andy and Mr nice & safe driver for making our trip a memorable one.
Overall it was good tour. Our guide Andy was active and punctual. Niagara to Boston was a long drive 7hr. If someone is not a fan of Harvard or MIT then this leg of the tour is not attractive for him. Need to add some other attractions of 4th day otherwise Boston tour can be omitted.
