  • We had taken out our grandson on a three day trip to Virginia beach, Bush garden, Hershe’s chocolate factory. This was very well planned comfortable tour. All of us enjoyed. We recommend bit less time at Bush to reach Gaylord National Park in the evening to experience waterfront night activity. Guests have good choice of food as well and the hotel is not very far. We are thankful to our bus driver and most importantly our guide Joe who made our trip safe, comfortable and memorable.
