Guided NYC to Washington DC day trip with English or Spanish guide, major monuments, White House photos, and 90 minutes on the National Mall.
“The journey to Washington DC was much expected and booked almost a year in advance. We loved all the things that we learnt there, about historical places and couldn’t wait to go to the White House. We were a bit disappointed for the fact that it was a massive rush and the guide kept going so fast ahead that we barely kept up with him. We had only 10 minutes at The White House and that was not enough. The experience was great but would recommend not rushing so much, offer an extra 5-10 minutes so people can actually enjoy it. At one point almost half of the people got…”

“We took the tour on a day with rather unfavorable weather in New York. We traveled from New Jersey by bus, which was delayed due to poor road conditions. Around 4 a.m., I contacted the guides to let them know that we would probably arrive later than planned. They replied immediately, were very understanding, and did everything they could to make sure everything went smoothly despite the circumstances. In the end, we managed to arrive on time, which made me really happy. The tour itself was quite fast-paced but very well organized. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to complete it with my three-year-old child – the pace…”

Day trip from NYC to Boston with Harvard and the Freedom Trail, plus a Quincy Market lunch break and the Boston Tea Party museum.
“It’s a tour that gave an overview of Boston proper and Harvard. I’m glad I did the trip because it was enough information for me to know about the city so no need to come back. I wish we had time to do the Boston Tea Party museum tour which for me was the best thing about the tour ( we only had time allocated to go in the gift shop).. The tour was made up of mostly non English speakers so the interaction was minimum. But the two tour guides made the best of it.”
