Great way to spend the long weekend
As expected, time spent on locations are limited but still enough to roam around. Prepare to leave early (7am) and arrive at hotels late (10ish). Mars is a really helpful guide. Overall a great experience especially for those who don’t want the hassle of planning a getaway. This is a group tour so being on time is a form of respect. Also read the terms and conditions (especially inclusions/exclusions) beforehand. Highly recommended.

Bucket List
We left China Town in New York which was easy enough to find. The bus was comfortable and clean. The tour guide was very informative as well as the bus driver. The accommodation was fine as all you do is sleep there. We had no problems fal ling asleep as your days are full. We saw sights that we would never have seen without this tour. I love this company as you see the same sights as the other big, more expensive companies take you too. I always use them when travelling to America.
