My mom & relatives from India travelled to USA for the first time and were really happy to have this tour covered. One thing that was not planned was about the Tour Itinerary. The web site mentioned that the first destination would be DC, but it actually was Niagara. Also, the conductor was not sure until the last moment about the details of the hotel they were going to stay. This created some confusion as I wanted someone to meet them at hotel. Otherwise, they had good fun!
