I went on this tour and i could not recommend it high enough! The Bus that took us to Washington and Philadelphia was comfortable ride. They had rubbish pages on board so we could dispose of any rubbish that we had and we were also allowed to eat on the bus (other bus trips don’t always allow this) The information our guide had was exceptional and the fact that it was spoken in both English and Spanish so all of the attendees could understand was exceptional. The knowledge that our guide Joseph had was impressive and as someone on my first trip to USA solo was very interesting and I learnt a lot. The sites speak for themselves spectacular! I really recommend this to anyone travelling but to those going solo it is an awesome adventure! Thanks to guide Joseph and Driver Freddy who made it so much more enjoyable.

Nice day trip and enough background information was given. Seen the Netherlands Carillon. Also got some tips for New York itself. Travel time is long but you now that before and it's certainly worth it! Smooth process, good driver, good tour guide. Thanks Carlos Bacerra!
