Holiday Tours

Collin and Shawn both were extraordinary guides.only problem we faced was sitting in three seats van from Boston to Newyork.it didn’t have enough space for leg room.

The morning coach tour with a Blue Badge guide was informative. In the afternoon, I had tea at the Cellarium Cafe before exploring Westminster Abbey independently with the multimedia guide, seeing the Coronation Chair and royal tombs. A relaxed, well-paced day.

It was a full day starting from London, first Stonehenge and then Bath. We visited the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, and walked by Pulteney Bridge. Got back to London around 7 pm. Packed but covered everything I wanted to see.

This tour linked several national parks well. We spent a fair amount of time on the coach, but each stop allowed about an hour to stretch and take photos. Antelope Canyon was optional at $105 per adult; since I was there anyway, I thought it was worth joining.

Six days covered the major cities in the eastern US and Canada—a packed but well-organized route. My favorite part was the Niagara Falls night tour; the illuminated water was spectacular. It was a mandatory add-on at $45 per adult, but I felt it was worth it.

The bus tour took us past the holiday lights and movie locations around New York, linking up spots like Rockefeller Center and Central Park. I especially liked the Central Park segment since it was featured in Serendipity. A guide was on board, and taxes were covered in the tour price, which made things easy.

The two-hour open-air bus tour covered Beverly Hills and the Sunset Strip with lively narration. I learned a lot about LA's celebrity culture. It was a bit windy on the open top, but the photo views were great.

The tour started at 9am from Victoria Coach Station, and I liked having WiFi and USB chargers on the coach. We saw the Changing of the Guard in the morning, then I made my way to Westminster Pier independently for the Thames cruise, which was included. Lunch and gratuities weren't covered though.

We covered all the LA classics in one day—Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Farmers Market had plenty of options, though lunch was on us since meals weren't included. We were back at the hotel around 3 PM, which felt like a good pace.
