Top USA City Tours - page 2

Here’s a polished review you could post: We had a fantastic day trip to Washington, DC. If you’re deciding which departure to book, I’d definitely recommend the 06:00 departure rather than the 08:00. The longer 15-hour day gives you much more time to enjoy the city without feeling rushed. A top tip is to buy your lunch at the first stop. The guides will probably recommend this anyway, and it saves valuable sightseeing time later in the day. Our two guides were excellent throughout. They were friendly, knowledgeable and, most importantly, kept everyone on schedule while still allowing enough time to enjoy each stop. We managed to see everything we had hoped to see, including all the major landmarks, and still had time to visit the Smithsonian, which was a real highlight. Overall, it was a very well-organised trip and excellent value. If you only have a day to spare from New York and want to experience Washington, DC, I’d highly recommend it.

Derek was PHENOMENAL! He is a local with so much knowledge about Portland’s history. On this tour, you’ll see the city and explore a couple of lighthouses all while learning about the city. Other highlights included the intimate tour (only 15ish spots) versus larger, more impersonal tours, and recommendations from Derek regarding local spots to be sure not to miss!

In the 2 plus hrs we saw an awful lot and learned a lot about Milwaukee history. A lot of facts we did not know. For first time visitors this is a great introduction and helps you get acquainted with the City as well hoping o e decide what places to spend more time at or places to eat.

I have been on several segway tours over the years and feel like there are less opportunities to explore cities via segway. Fortunately, my husband and I were guided by Kevin in Chicago. After completing the waiver sheets, helmet fitting and training, we were off. We began our tour near Millennium Park and were able to ride through Grant Park and along the Michigan Lake coast. We were able to see some of Chicago’s highlights while having fun. Kevin was always willing to snap a picture of us too. I recommend it!

Great way to see the historical part of the city and not have to fight traffic. Guide was very knowledgeable and the horse had a lot of spunk. We were a couple of minutes late and the company called to hold the carriage. Would do it again if we return to South Carolina

Second Day on the Bus and wish we had another! We spent quite a few hours at the National WW2 Museum; excellent and easily accessible from the Bus. Once again we parked at the Basin Visitor Center and ride from there. Logan and Lita gave us lots more info; so glad we took another ride! We also visited the French Market and did a bit more shopping.

This was an excellent activity that gave us a history of the underground walkway, in addition to some of the historical buildings in Chicago. Henry was very knowledgeable--he was able to answer 95% of our questions (some of our questions did come out of left field!). Keep in mind - the tour starts across the street from City Hall and ends elsewhere. It wasn't a strenuous walk at all (one of us had knee issues--he didn't complain at all.) About the only "climbing" we did was on stairs exiting the underground pedway. Henry also gave us plenty of opportunities for bathroom breaks. My only regret was not eating a good breakfast before taking the 2+ hour walk. (P.s. Henry was an excellent guide for this because of his background in architectural/structural engineering.). I would take this tour again!

Big Jerry had so much knowledge of the history and people of Nashville and TN in general. He was a careful and skilled driver as he negotiated the tight turns between cars that were parked and sticking out into the street. We really enjoyed the tour and were sad that there was a group of ladies who chose to continually speak during the tour. He had to stop talking several times to ask them to stop so the others on the tour could hear him. He was very patient and upbeat.
