For first time travelers to the US and Canada, this tour is an amazing option to get a grasp of the culture and attractions the two countries have to offer. Larry (tour guide) was excellent! He really knows about his stuff and is always willing to accommodate any of your concerns. He's also willing to answer any questions you have regarding anything (and I mean anything, regardless of whether your question involves the tour or not). However, I would not recommend this tour to those which struggle to walk moderate distances and those who find stairs difficult as this tour heavily involves these activities. Also, it is also important to keep in mind that walking in the pouring rain is inevitable so better to come prepared and bring a waterproof jacket, a cap, an umbrella and shoes which can get wet. With regards to meals, there isn't really a lot of options for breakfast and their meals severely lack vegetables, but they do offer fruits. Food servings in America is excessive as compared to those in Asian countries so it would be best to just share food if you don't have a big appetite, so as to not be wasteful. I also recommend bringing your own refillable water bottle because most of the places have water refilling stations if you keep your eye out for them. Refilling water in hotels during breakfast is also an option.
This tour of the Eastern part of the USA and Canada really changed my perception of both these countries. I would think I have seen, tasted and heard all about these countries before even setting foot on their soils but experiencing these nations in person has enhanced and even changed what I thought I knew. Starting with the three nights in New York, journeying north through New England and into Quebec and venturing East through Ottawa, Toronto to the breath-taking Niagara Falls and going down south into Mid-Western America through Detroit, Pittsburgh and eventually arriving in Washington DC, this trip had it all and it's an experience I won't forget! If you are curious about this part of the North American continent, then I would recommend going on this tour. You will be in safe hands with Larry the knowledgeable and friendly tour director and our driver Leo was the ultimate professional motor coach operator! Good times and good company were had in this part of the world!
Lots of fun. Great memories. Travelling with a group through the US simply great. A lot of cool people were in the group. Our guide made us all rock, and the itinerary made sure that we experienced a lot. It was almost tough coming home, that's how good the tour was. Never travelling solo again.
