East Coast Tours for Indian Families

Most families booking these tours are arranging a trip for parents visiting from India on a B-2 visa, usually for a stay of two or three months. Every route leaves from New York, so the drive to the pickup point is short and nobody starts the holiday with a domestic flight. The destinations families pick most often are Niagara Falls, Washington DC, Boston and Philadelphia; longer routes combine two or three of them into one trip.

What the tour actually looks like

Filmed on our own departures, not stock footage.

Meals on tour

Every place we stop for a meal serves vegetarian food. That's how we pick them. Stops include food courts, grocery stores and buffets, so there's always more than one thing to choose from.

You're also welcome to bring your own food along.

The coach

Two seats on each side of the aisle, so nobody sits in the middle. Overhead racks for the day; large suitcases go underneath. Air conditioning stays on the whole way.

Smaller groups run the same routes in a high-roof van. Tell us at booking if someone needs to sit near the front.

Where you stay

Chain hotels — Comfort Inn, Wyndham, the airport ones. Two beds in every room, double or queen. Two adults is standard, and four can share if you'd rather.

Which hotel you get depends on the route and the date. The exact one is on the tour page.

Who travels with you

Mostly families, a lot of them booking for parents visiting from India. Grandparents, parents, kids — often all on the same booking.

Departures are shared and open to everyone, so the mix changes by date. You won't be the only family on the bus.

GOOD TO KNOW

indian family tours - FAQ

  • How often does the coach stop?

    Every two to three hours, at a rest area or at a viewpoint. There is walking at each stop, and the coach waits, so nobody is rushed. Tell us at booking if someone uses a cane or tires easily.

  • Are vegetarian meals available on East Coast tours?

    Yes. Every place the coach stops for a meal on our East Coast routes serves vegetarian food, and that is how the stops are chosen. Stops include food courts, grocery stores and buffets. You are also welcome to bring your own food.

  • Are tours available in languages other than English?

    Guides work in English and Mandarin. The commentary, the timings and the instructions at each stop are all given in full in English. You will hear Mandarin on the coach as well, because departures are shared and the group is mixed.

  • Can our whole family book on one order?

    Yes. Put everyone on one booking and the party is seated together on the coach. These are shared departures on a full-size coach, not a private hire. Message us with your dates, group size and departure city and we will say which routes have room.

  • Where do these tours depart from?

    All routes on this page board in New York or New Jersey. The pickup point and time are shown on your confirmation.
