I took the trip last week with my mom. It was really good, the trip was well organized. I think changing the Philadelphia part, a bit more direction around where to go and visit, would have been great. It was a very good trip and I would definitely recommend others to take the trip as well as look forward to future trips.

3-day tour was fantastic. All required information about places, visits, hotels and time were adequately informed. I appreciate tour guide Jolin for that. Hotels were good. Although few places has less time to visit, however, I understand limited time we have & too many places to visit. Time arrangement was excellent. Looking forward to travel with you again. Thanks!

I had booked this tour for my relatives who visited us from India. They were very happy with the tour and especially with the tour co-ordinator Joe who was very friendly and accommodating.
They felt more time should be allotted for the National Air and Space museum as 1.5 hours is far too little.

This really was a wonderful experience, and we enjoyed it till the last minute. I'll recommended this trip to all my family and friends. The bus crew was very nice at all times, especially the tour guide... very knowledgeable about U.S history.
The only thing that I'd like to see better is seats on the bus, for a long trip as such they were a little small.
Overall I will recommended this 3 Days tour to anyone.

Covered many attractions within 3 days time. Tour guide George was friendly. I think this tour is ideal for tourists with limited budget and tight schedules. Good hotels rooms were given.
Bottom Line: Good Deal.
Suggestion: Quality of Bus can be increased (Especially Mic/Speaker quality).

Overall, it was a great trip. I was wondering how could we cover so many attractions in 3 days! But it was all with good itinerary and a proactive guide which made us visit all the intended attractions.
On the negative side, I thought we should have got some more time at Baltimore, i think the National aquarium at Baltimore is a must see place which we missed.

The tour was great. We got to see so many sites, but I feel like we needed at least an hour more to to see Philly and we needed more time in Baltimore rather than dash to get to the hotels. The hotels were really good and the breakfast free. The tour guide was very friendly and explained a lot. I believe that the facilities in the bus should be improved. Thanks!
