Good tour overall. Lots of sights to see on quite a tight schedule that covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time. (NYC/Washington/Philadelphia/Niagara Falls/Boston). This involves significant time on a bus. Itinerary didn't exactly match online in regard to attractions or order of days. Cost wise overall was reasonable and cheaper than other tour companies: ~600 USD (tour) + additional ~600 USD (attractions + dinner day 4-6, these are optional but would recommend taking all of them). Accommodation was surprisingly good, double queen or single King in mostly Hilton or equivalent hotels. No need to take the 'upgrade option'. Customer service made several administrative of errors but was very responsive (did not provide hotel upgrade despite booking but refunded within 24 hours of complaint). Improvements: provide contact details of tour guide/local contact prior to start of tour (Tour guide was unaware I was at airport, and I needed to call many numbers, who eventually got me through to someone, who called me an uber to my hotel), provide provisional itinerary in advanced, (preferably in print form). Do note that this is a bilingual tour but mainly catered towards Mandarin speaking tourists. I am bilingual, so it suited me well.
Ming and Elan , the tour guide was fantastic! He was helpful, friendly, and patient with customers. The driver was professional and customers feel safe on the bus. We really enjoyed the tour and will definitely book future vacations with Taketours.
The low fee is deceptive. Basically it simply covers hotels. Be prepared to pay for everything else, including every meal and every place you go. If you don't choose the so called optional activities, you won't see anything. For example, you will not allowed to go to Harward University on your own unless you pay for the optional tour. So the cost adds up quickly. We found out the 7-day tour is same as the 6-day tour only at the beginning of the trip. On the 7th day, we went from New Jersey to NYC for an independent tour day-not much time for anything.
