  • My 2 days trip was a nice one knowing that I can see again Pennsylvania and Washington DC in one package. The tour was a smooth one. A very happy tour knowing our tour guide Judy was knowledgeable in many aspects of these places we visited. I can honestly say she was an asset of the company she’s working right now. She was approacheable and I asked her if she can be our tour guide in European countries. I wish my next trip, if possible by now, would Judy as a guide. This review was an honest assessment of her capability to go further. Thanks Judy for that wonderful trip and of course, the driver plus Shaun, as our guide from DC to NY/NJ. A very nice substitution from not yet opened sort of Indian part of the itinerary. That Paterson mini Niagara Falls was a nice one and deserved to be included in the coming trips. Again, thanks.

  • The whole trip was a fantastic experience with a fantastic itinerary and a great tour guide/driver. We were transported through a Mercedes Benz mini bus which was perfect for that journey. The trip was comfortable along with the stay. I would recommend this for everyone whether it be a family or individual. Lastly, a shout-out to our tour guide Jason for being a great help for us throughout the trip.

  • It was my first trip with Take Tours. The trip was nicely planned and well executed. The time spent at each location was quite reasonable. Our guide Rex was very good. Only issue was the "Day Inn" hotel in Batavia where we spent the first night. The free breakfast next morning was with very limited options.
