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.
Tour was excellent! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We are native New York theatergoers and found the tour quite informative. Beyond the scenes at the New Amsterdam was amazing.
I thoroughly enjoyed my east to west USA tour. Firstly, I can’t thank Alyson (our tour guide) and William (our bus driver) enough. They were punctual, informative and extremely accomodating throughout our whole tour. they really set the mood of everyday and I don’t believe the tour would have been as enjoyable as it was without them. All our accomodation was clean, comfortable and reasonably located for the city we were in. Alyson was extremely knowledgeable about every city and attraction and even provided run downs of what amenities and restaurants were available at every rest stop. This allowed us to make the most of our time wherever and we found ourselves. An extended amount of time in Philadelphia would have been preferred but other than that I couldn’t sing higher praises.
