Is it easy to get transport to JFK airport after the tour?
Is your office near to the stop in order to keep the baggage during the tour?
by diana on 2013-03-07
by diana on 2013-03-07
You can get the public transportation to JFK airport. The nearest stop is 135-20 39th Ave, Flushing, NY 11354 (In front of the Sheraton hotel - Queens). This is about 10 miles away from the airport. We suggest that passengers take taxi to the airport. It takes about 15-20 minutes for the cost around $40. During the tour, your luggage will go in luggage compartment under the bus.

| Our guide John was good. However, we couldn't see the White House at Washington D.C due to streets all being blocked by police for some kind of event. It couldn've been better if they have researched to make sure nothing was going on in the area. This package invovles long bus rides. It went something like 3 hours of ride - 1 hr site seeing, then another 2 hrs ride - 1 hr site seeing something like this.. Accommodation was good but we had to leave hotel at 6:30am and breakfast wasn't great. | ||

| I just came back from the 2 Day tour to DC, Philly and Baltimore! Me and my girl friend had bought the tickets based on the reviews and didn't expect much. BUT, to be very honest, this was the MOST AWESOME tour I've been on. River, our guide, and John, the driver, were very friendly. River was very knowledgeable. The timings to get on and off in different places was really good. The hotel where we stayed was TOOO GOOOD. 2 full size beds, a working tv and clean bathroom to go with the table and chair and a couch. I would DEFINITELY be traveling again with them and very soon. And yeah, you have to pay about $63 for tickets to various attractions and $12 as service charge for driver and guide. BUT, no complaints. They can't give you an awesome hotel, transportation AND free entry everywhere with just $76. Cheers to L & L Tours. | ||

| I just came back from the 2 day Washington trip. Our first stop was in Princeton University which was not in the itinerary and was a waste of time. Not only did you get charge $10.oo if you want to take a tour of the school but most of the tourist didnt care to go. The next stop was Fort McHenry which was supposed to be on the return date but was changed by the tour guide/bus driver. The time alloted I think could have been shorter and used in Washington D.C. instead. The next stop was in Philadelphia, to see the Liberty Bell. Not enough time to go inside the Independence Hall. After that we went to see the White House from afar.We took the Potomac river cruise which was OK but we missed the Cherry Blossoms. After the cruise we went to the Lincoln Memorial and the Korean War Memorial.We didnt have a chance to see the Vietnam War Memorial since the tour bus was trying to beat traffic to have our dinner and go to the hotel. The buffet restaurant they took us didn't take credit card just because we are in the tour group.The manager was rude when I asked him why he just cut me off saying "you're in the tour" ,so what? The hotel accommodation at Comfort Inn was good and it included free breakfast. On the 2nd day of the tour we went to Capitol Hill but didn't get the right tour with their tour guide since we were mixed with the public. So we lost time and didn't have enough time to go around.Then we went to the Air and Space museum and the tour guide incorporated lunch with that tour. We were left to tour around but there was not enough time to see the other museums.We have to leave at 1:00pm just so we don't get into the traffic.The time was cut short just because of this which we could still have used for more sightseeing.So instead of this as a 1 day tour this was only half a day tour! For me I didnt get the whole value of this tour. To the future tourist I hope the tour company can really give you your moneys worth. | ||

| Just came back from this tour to Washington DC and not much happy with the itinerary as such. There are many things listed here but are not covered and ample time is not being given to cover all the attractions. We were given just 2 hours to cover Capitol Hill and 4 museums around that area on our own and if someone has been there, you can imagine it will be next to impossible to do all of them in 2 hours. We reached the destination and were dropped off. The DC cruise was okay. We reached Lincoln memorial in the evening and this place is worth visiting only in the evening. The view of Washington Monumemt and capitol is was just amazing from there. The Korean war memorial and Vietnam was memorial are also in near vicinity but again we were given around 1 hour to cover all this. And given the time it takes to reach the attraction from where the bus drops you, you can never cover all these in 1 hour. Jefferson memorial was visited from the seat of the bus as we were told that this attraction is removed from the itinerary. This was sad as that place looked beautiful and everyone wanted to spend sometime there. Accommodation and the complimentary breakfast was the best part. Day-2. Visit the Fort McHerry only if the weather is good and the visit is schedule for Sunday morning or Sunday evening 4 PM as this is the time when flag change happens. If this is not happening, no point in wasting money on this. After Fort McHenry, we were dropped off at Inner Harbour and this was only good as the weather was real good otherwise the 2 hours of time asked to spend here was waste. This time could have been slotted for another attraction somewhere else. From here the final destination in Philly and this was saddest as were given just 1 hour to go around the place as the tour had to return. Don't know what the tour operator wanted to do by returning NY at 6 PM. Sorry, forgot to mention the sneak-peak we had of White house on Day 1. All in all, don't expect to visit many attractions as it more of travelling and less of sight-seeing. And you need more than 2 days to cover has been listed above for DC. | ||

| I did the trip with 2 friends so we got buy 2 get 3rd free so it only cost $158 for the 3 of us, you couldn't even get accommodation for that price!! Great value. Shaun our guide was amazing, he was under a lot of stress trying to organise such a big bus load of different nationalities but did a great job. This is a great taster trip which i loved have a look, yep seen it move on, it how i love to sight see. The accommodation was lovely big room at a holiday inn and a nice new bus. A few tips for people doing this trip take some snacks for the bus as there are few food breaks, pack an umbrella and rain coat for if it rains. | ||

| The trip was not very well organized. I took this trip during the memorial days weekend and they kept changing the itinerary with the excuse that roads will be blocked in DC. But this is not news, they could have planned ahead. Because of this re-planning we spent a lot more time in the bus than at the attractions. Tour Guide was really helpful and spent lot of effort in ensuring that everybody felt comfortable. | ||

| I loved everything from this tour except one thing which was the major atraction... The white house... Our tour guide River tolds us that he was going to take us to the southside of the white house and that we were going to be able to take "amazing pictures" and it was a big fail!!!! I guess there was something going on that i had to take my "amazing" pictures from far away with a fence behind me and woth trees covering 3/4 of the white house. That was my biggest dissapointment but everything else was very nice and relaxing. The hotel was awesome and our tour guide River was very knowledgable of all of the attractions! | ||

| For the money the tour was great. David our tour guide was funny, nice and knowledgeable. Making late comers sing in front of the bus was a nice touch and a great way to force people to be on time. The hotel was much better than expected but a bit far out of the way I thought. Rooms were clean and nice and breakfast was free in the morning. The chinese buffet stops for dinner and lunch were below average. We decided to eat elsewhere the second day. I also felt like we could of done without the baltimore and philadephia stops and spent more time exploring DC. I would def do another tour with this company however next time i may choose a tour with less on the itinerary so we could get more quality out of it. | ||

| It was great!, Sean is a super nice and helpful guide. The driver was nice and friendly. The tour was very interesting we loved it! The only suggestions would be to make the visit to the "national air and space museum" longer to see and read most of it you need at least two hours... But not biggie! :). The hotel was actually very nice and clean. And the food .... Sean took us to this Korean restaurant in Philadelphia, which food was kind of okay nothing special...but this was our fault because inside the mall are like twenty restaurants we could have picked one of those... Anyways... After that for dinner and lunch Sean took us to two great buffet restaurants where the food was great and the options wow!, and the prices amazing. We took pictures, enjoyed the activities... We had a great time... Thanks TAKE TOURS!!!:)))) for making culture and fun affordable:) | ||

| We took the trip just before the Christmas eve, Well the tour was great for the most attraction ,which I felt a little upset was Natural History Museum tour was replaced with Capitol building inside hall walking tour which what I was looking in other Washington trips. As a compensation for Natural museum we had a chance to take a round tour of ,the emancipation hall which has capitol hill dome Mural painting , really fantastic ,and first supreme court room in U.S.inside capitol hill But it was rushy rushy for that tour as for shooting photos it would be OKay but for exploring the artisan creation in the hall you must be a lot less dramatic as the time was not enough for the tour. Also Jefferson Memorial tour was dismissed from the tour and spent much time at tiny miny white house attraction. When we got to Lincoln Memorial it was already dark coz we spent much time at white house for noting N we had difficulties to shoot the Washington monument with the reflection pool which would be much more spectacular in daylights. Hotel was great 100 % smoke free room per say when we were boarding in. we got to hotel so early what it seemed to be ,it was 8 when we got there . The leader has the negotiable skills which I hoped for , but none the less,not the stickler point of view the trip should stick to the predetermined itinerary which was advertised. I have no bad comments for other thing but the leader should warn the passengers not to bring the alcoholic beverages ,N place the mid-consumed bottles on overhead hand-carry storage place. In conclusion I have had a wonderful experience on the trip. | ||

| Liked the tour. was well organized, covered most of the spots that we wanted to visit. our tour guide was very good and knowledgeable. i was afraid of the heckling that i heard from others regarding the tours but no heckling. even the service fee was respectfully asked at the end of the tour which i think is professional. some cons (some major ones) 1. our hotel was nice but the people at red roof inn were creepy. my next room seemed to have activity all night. people seemed to go in and out of the room. seemed like they were drinking all night. early morning when i went for coffee (6.15 am), a lady was smoking in the common area and seemed to be high on something and was definitely drunk. a couple of guys came out of the room with beer early in the morning at approx 6:15 am. it creeped me out. i walked out to the bus with my toddler and though they seemed harmless but I was defintely afraid for my family. second day, there was more travelling. the tour probably combined another tour for the caverns and we didnt visit washington on day 2. the caverns was a surprise. day 1 there was no time for the cruise etc. got some reason but was not convincing. baltimore we were told that we would be getting one hour for lunch (since there was no break or time for breakfast in the morning). after lunch at baltimore, we could visit the inner harbor area. but after lunch at the inner harbor area, we were told that we were heading home. what a bummer. baltimore, inner harbor area is one of the best areas to visit and we ended up in the food court in baltimore. | ||

| We liked the trip and had a good time. However we would like to mention that the Baltimore Harbour trip got cancelled due to blockage due to some race. The trip could have been changed(The organizers could have found out like our friends ina different bus) a bit so as to cover the harbour on Sat itself. Moreover as per the itenarary the trip was to complete at 10:00 pm (arrival at Bowery) but we came back at 7:00 pm. We could have been given some extra time at Fort Mchenry? to conclude, we did had a good trip and the guide did a good job. | ||

| This is the second trip with them and all was perfect. In Washington I didn't do the cruise but I went to see the Jefferson Memorail(that you cannot see with the normal trip), very beautyful, the guide was funny and helpful, the hotel was far 20 minutes but it was very good. I'd do it again, recommended at 100% | ||

| Great Trip! We spend the first day in Washington DC and had an awesome hotel room, which cost probably more than 76$. But the second day was more a "rushing to the end"...we just spend around one hour in Baltimore and maybe 2 in Philadelphia....in my opinion that was a little bit to less, but stil a very good offer! | ||

| I took the tour and believe me, tour is not good as promised.The tour spend unnecessary time in Aquarium (around 1 hr 15 mins) and then in Philadephia downtown for lunch (1.5 hour) and reach Washington only in evening leaving very less time to explore the place. Then you are taken to a hotel which is far away from Washington and by the time you reach Hotel it is 10:30 in the night.Hotel might be good but on such tours, you want more time to explore the places given that it is possible. The next day, you start early in the morning, head back to Washington and then spend another 2 hours traveling from Hotel to DC. The funny part is you are back to New York by 6-6:30 in the evening as against 8:00 p.m. scheduled time. In a nutshell, most of the time is spent in travel rather than actual sightseeing.. | ||

| We went on 2-day DC tour on Feb 1-2, 2011. From the beginning the tour guide made the experience very enjoyable. A tour is not only what we see but also the time we spend on the way. Towards that, Sherley with her charm made every minute worth remembering. Sherley was very educated and informed us about the history and significance of the places we visited. We made friends from Colombia and China during the visit. Time was managed perfectly. Because of the good experience, we upgraded our tour and went to Niagara and Corning glass factory. The tour was worth more than we paid, and we would like to go again on another tour with you. Thanks | ||

| The tour was really GREAT!!! I was travelling alone and made some good friends from Spain and Brazil in the bus (Hope to get them again in my next tour). The tour guide Eddie was a great guy, and did a good job. He told us a lot of interesting facts about the places we visited.
We were able to cover quite a good number of places in two days.
Being a vegetarian, the only problem I faced was the food, as the food stops didn't had much veg options. The night stay was excellent!!! Overall the tour was value for money. I would recommend TakeTours to others! |

| Hey I liked this tour but I have some points that I would change a bit. The time in Philadelphia was very short. There was no way to get to the stairs, where "Rocky" ran up. Who was not dreaming of this too? We arrived in D.C in the late evening and had a quik view on all the monuments. I would have preferred t use the first day to see Philadelphia and Baltimore. Because n the secnd day there was only the capitl and the air and space museum. we were back in the city at 6pm. so, if it is possible, make the second day nly for d.c and use the ther time to see more in the other cities. the guides were really good. | ||

| The trip in whole was fit for purpose. Itinerary was changed the first day straight away. We had 45 mins in Philadelphia which was just enough time to see the liberty bell. We were looking forward to the U.S Mint as mentioned when booking but we were never taken there nor was it mentioned. We then went to Baltimore which you are meant to see on the 2nd day. We only had 45 mins there which was barely enough time to walk anywhere. It seems a lovely place and was a shame we were so limited. I didn't really see the point in stopping there. Then we went to Washington where we saw the Space Museum. That was really good. We got 1 hr & 45 mins there which was adequate but we could have stayed longer. We left for the hotel at about 5.45. The hotel is about 45 mins away so you will not get to see Washington in your own time. The hotel was nice and better than expected. You can get McDs etc. We left at 7.30 in the morning & saw the sites in Washington. The boat trip was overpriced & a bit of a waste of time. They say it is optional in the description but this was not mentioned when the tour guide was asking for money. Traffic coming home was really bad, which obviously wasn't anyone's fault. All in all it was decent value for money, you get to see what you want in Washington but it is very rushed. I personally wouldn't go on a coach trip like this again as there are too many constraints and you have to put up with the company of people that you definitely wouldn't normally. The tour guide wasn't great and I felt she was a bit condescending. Be prepared for the extra costs with the boat trip and tour service charge!! | ||

We did not have much time in Baltimore. It would have been better if we would get guidance to choose place for lunch in Baltimore, as we got last night for dinner. | ||

| Good trip. I was need it to reach Baltimore though stop in Philadelphia was nice - pretty much to see if take a little walk. Probably you can even take a little bit of Philly's sightseeing bus tour, that serve right at the Taketours's bus stop. Time in Washington D.C. is pretty enough just to take a quick look at the main places. I would spend a bit more time in Baltimore - there is a plenty of things to see and do. Hotel was pretty good. In general it worth payed money. You wouldn't see so much if take greyhound and try to reach everything by yourself. | ||

| I am pretty impressed with this trip. I went with my parents who came to here from Indai for a month. Point to point drop in places was really helpful and the coverage was really too good. All the places are covered in Washinton. But instaed of the DC cruise if more time would have given for Baltimore then we could have visited the National Aquaruim there. Next time if they consider this then it will be great. | ||

I mean the bus should do more stops maybe one in downtown and other in times square, or something like that. | ||

The tourist attractions were shown as promised in the website, such as Lincoln and Jefferson Memorial, and the Liberty Bell. We have taken another tour in the past, with the same company, 2 nights in Niagara Falls, and had a great time in both places. Overall, we would recommend this tour company to family and friends. | ||

| The Washington 2 day trip was really good. we visited Philadelphia, DC and Baltimore. PHI and DC have many attractions. Baltimore has nothing but a seaport. The accommodation was nice. As this is a private tour, we had a solid schedule of places to visit. We covered almost all the places in DC. As two families traveling together, we were really able to enjoy this tour. If you are new to this country, you will get lot of information from the tour guide.
The tour guide was good but very strict in time keeping. :-)
Overall, it was a nice experience. |

We went to all attraction besides DC cruise-it's cancelled because of ice on river-. Our tour guide Alex was kind and funny. There were much more foreigner than Chinese so he spoke in English first then in Chinese. The only problem is short time on museum but it was fine if you decide to see just one section! I recommend this trip. | ||

| We got to see many spots in short time. But the tour guides and driver are not very professional, there was a fight with a Indian family which made the whole trip uncomfortable. The worst part is that they left us half a mile away from where we got on the bus, and they insisted that was the same stop. It was so much trouble for strangers in NY like us, next time I will try a more expensive tour other than this one. | ||

| The tour was good enough for the price paid. However, it would have been good if it would have covered the few places but with stuff. time for each place to visit instead of just rushing from one place to another. Especially, it should have covered the dolphin show at Baltimore. That's like missing the major attraction at Baltimore. About hotels, they were really nice. | ||

Bad things: additional money that I need to pay for attractions - it's better to include it into tour price or make a note about this.
I'm very happy that took this tour. It was a good experience! Thank you. Hi Oleksii,
In regards to your review statement "additional money... for attractions - it's better to... make a note about this.", we state the cost of additional admissions on our tour page under "Exlusions" and "Optional Admission Fees".

| We were the only passengers boarding from Philadelphia Bourse. The bus was caught in a jam before arriving Philly hence the tour guide was in a rush for all his schedule. As such, when the bus reaches Philly, the tour guide didn't bother to find us. In the end, it was us who went forward to ask if they were the right tour group. The male tour guide was not very friendly but nonetheless the tour was organized. Stayed in a very good hotel for the night with free breakfast. | ||

Considering that there are always a lot of people on the bus from Jersey City, this is a valid request. Otherwise, we have to plead with the driver to stop in Jersey City.

| It was really a very great experience for us to be on the tour. The tour is well planned and covered all the important places. But the time at the museums was not sufficient and the hotel for night stay was far from the city. This time could be spent at the museums. Another point of concern is the lunch and dinner where only the Chinese food is accessible. Rest areas are a far better place to eat. Beyond this everything is fine and the tour is worth the money. We look forward to yet another tour on GotoBus shortly. | ||

| For the price, it is hard to complain about the DC tour. I do agree that the Potomac River extra was unnecessary. That time could have been better spent seeing more of the Smithsonian or another DC highlight. The extra last minute add-on of the Shenandoah Cavern turned out to be delightful, but being surprised at the last minute with over $80.00 cost for that and the river boat was not the way things should be done on a tour. One does not expect to be paying extra without being told beforehand. The hotel accommodations were excellent, but because of getting to the hotel at 10 pm and then a very early morning start, it was difficult to appreciate the hotel. The stops to see the tour highlights were too short; maybe there were too many things to see crammed into a short period of time. The driver was very responsible, the guides comments were okay. Overall, the tour was worth it. | ||

This tour would have been much better if they would have provided hotel nearby DC instead of wasting our time traveling to a hotel which was far away from DC. We lost almost 180 minutes there. The same would have been utilized for site seeing at museums in DC. Other wise everything was good. Yes I would again like to join some other tours from GotoBus. | ||

| This is an economical way to see many places.The tour guides were very helpful during the long haul route, and I'd like to give a special thanks to Da, who kept me lively throughout the journey and showed me to my shuttle bus upon return. The visiting places were sort of rushed and it would be nice if there were options to less visit places with more leisure time. | ||

| It's a nice trip. The tour guide is nice. Hopefully he will more experienced next time. The only unhappiness is the broken AC during the first day's trip. It is a nightmare. But the next day, we got another bus with functional AC. In general, this is a pleasant trip. | ||

| We have taken the DC tour, worth the money, but Philly attractions were a bit rushed. DC was covered well. Baltimore and inner harbor were good. Worth the money. Tour guide should've been more experienced. Overall, good trip. | ||

| In 2 days Washington DC/Philadelphia, PA/Baltimore, with one night stay in Comfort Inn not bad at all. Tour guide was very informative and so funny. I feel they could have given more time places like museums but they have to cover so many places within the limited time span, well planned and organized. | ||

| the two day washington dc/philadelphia tour was a great value for the money. Best Western Hotel overnight stay was great. Stop Over restaurants were not always healthy/nutritious and expensive. The evening meal was too late - around 9pm. All in all it was a good experience. | ||

| The tour was good. The hotel given was very comfortable and in a good location with a lot of restaurants nearby. The tour would have been even better if more time was given for museums in Washington. The tour guide was informative. | ||

| I liked the tour in parts. I liked that I do not have to drive I do not have to worry about hotel etc., but since I was familiar with DC area I knew what the guide was skipping. Washington Monument, Natural History Museum and Smithosonian Art Musuem was not covered in the tour which could have been covered with the time we had. I would have avoided the Boat Tour of the potomac river. The tour guide gave just 1 hour to National Air Space museum which was insufficient. The hotel provided was good quality and it covered Philadelphia and Baltimore, again tour guide just gave about an hour at both places which was not sufficient and in that hour we had to eat too. The bus company do not allow lavatory to be used on bus although they say it is lavatory equipped bus but on the other side they do stop frequently so it works out ok. Overall the bus was of good quality. | ||

| For the money, I can't complain. There is way too much jammed pack into the time so it is rushed. I feel that they need to rethink the schedule. Otherwise, nice and economical. Nice hotel also. Be warned food stops are mostly Chinese restaurants. | ||

| It was a wonderful tour for my family. We visited U.S. Capitol, White House, Air and Space Museum, Independence Hall, Liberty bell, Lincoln memorial, and Baltimore. That was really fun. The tour guide was good. Staying in the hotel was comfortable. Many thanks to Go-to-Bus. We hope to take another tour soon. | ||

| I took a group of six family members on this tour. I just wanted to send you a note that we had a very good time. The tour was exactly as advertised and was a very good value. I want to let you know that our guide, Da (Kevin), Johnny and the coach driver, Rocket (Turkish) were all an asset to your company. Da was very helpful, knowledgeable, pleasant, funny and kept things moving along with precision. The cruise on the Potomac was very nice and the dinner at a Chinese restaurant was excellent. We just wanted you to know that we enjoyed our experience with your company and will recommend to anyone who needs such a service. Please let Da, Johnny and Rocket know that we sent this message to you. Thank you,Jim | ||

| I was one of the passengers for the Washington Trip last April 17-18, 2010 where our bus as well the replacement bus broke down. I am sure you won't forget that. Let me just say thank you for keeping the positive attitude in that event despite what happened. However, may I just disagree with what you said that that was bad luck. Bad luck would mean -worst case scenario where the bus was running on high speed and the steering wheel going out of control right? But thank God for us, both you and the driver noticed there was something wrong and took action. God still protected us. Despite the delay, my friends and I still enjoyed the waiting time. In addition, you really did not need to sing for us on the way to the hotel (Comfort Inn) on Saturday night however your efforts was really appreciated. In addition, your idea of having some of the passengers introduce themselves and sing in front of everybody was very entertaining on the way back to NY. Also, giving us information of bits and pieces of America's history was very interesting. Keep that up! All in all, we had a great time! Thank you for your efforts! I hope more tour guides are like you Mr. Jason Han!!! I will definitely recommend others to your tours. | ||

| I booked this tour as a Mothers Day gift and it was the best idea I've had. My parents had such a great time visiting all the historic places. Daniel our tour guide was the sweetest and very informative. "Thank you Danny". Everyone was so friendly. Great experience. Since my return I have recommended all my friends, family and coworkers. | ||

| The 2 day trip to Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore was great value for money. Although the days were long we got to see everything that was on the itinery and the bonus was staying at the Sheridan Hotel with such comfortable rooms and free internet access. This is my second trip with this company and I look forward to doing more extended trips with them. The only complaint I have is that I am charged quite a bit extra as I travel by myself and I was led to believe that the US charged by the room not by the people in it? | ||

| It was a reasonable price for the tour and well organized. I was totally surprised that we had been riding in the bus for almost 7 hours before visitng the first tourist spot in Hershey. They drove us all the way to Williamsport in Pennsylvania and transfer to another bus and join another group (coming from Niagara) to Washington DC. The tour guide Daniel is cordial, but we can't much his English, many pronounciations are not accurate. And many of the tour members are foreigners and not Chinese speaking. | ||

| Hi All,Tour was wonderful and was worth the money. Tour guide was an awesome guy who had tried his level best to make the tour a success. The tour is best for 2-3 friends going together, even is good for a single person.There were a few things though I feel could have been better:-1) Tour guide was a Chinese Guy who talk most of the times in Chinese, as majority of people were Chinese speaking. But that sometimes causes chaos for English speaking person(around 10 of us)2) More time could have been allotted to Museums in Washington as compared to memorials. | ||

| This is my first trip through goto bus service. I had a nice experience with this tour.Everything went well except one thing while returning back to NY stuck in the traffic. Rest all amazing. And also if they could have chosen 1-2 more locations in the Philadelphia where we just got only Independence Home and all are in one place. May be as they chosen Baltimore Harbor instead , so its nice. And hotel stay also good.Guides taken care all the passengers vey well and entertaining. Good to be part of this tour. And i would definitely recommend to others! Just go for it. Enjoy!! | ||

| The 2 days bus trip to Washington DC was excellent. However we did not have that much time to fully visit every site. The hotel was suitable. The tour guide, Aaron, was very good. He tried his best to address everyone's needs. Even during the 2 -3 hours traffic. Nice job :) | ||
