wanting to go on another next time we visit

hi there, I just come across you post and thought I might add my bit also. We have just come back from the USA and my daughter and I went on a 7 day east coast USA & Canada trip with tours4fun. We were quite worried but loved out trip. Ther..e was about 50 people on the bus and out of that 3 Aussies (including us)and 4 Spanish speaking people. Everyone else was from an Asian country but funnily enough they mostly had US passports. The first day was a little rough, getting to know the other people was testing at first, simply because of the lack of English. But by about day three we were getting along great. We stopped mostly at Buffets and had 2 or 3 Chinese Banquets. All the food stops were great nothing too freaky. Our guide was fantastic he told us a lot of info on the way to places and let us know exactly how much time we had at each tour. We paid him the extra for the optional tours in a lump sum and also the tips for his service. Our bus was quite big and had overhead room for a bag. We were assigned seats which worked well because we could leave things on out seats and always the stuff was there when we got back. Our bus driver was the best, he got around each city with ease and was a lot of fun to talk to each day. The mornings were quite early and we got into hotels about an hour or two after dark (one or two nights later then this) but the distances we traveled and the sightseeing we did
that was little surprise. I expected a far different experience but we both came into it expecting the worst and came out wanting to go on another next time we visit. The company that organized the tour overall was E travel and everyone on the bus had paperwork from about three or four tour companies.
The hotels were all very nice but we really only had time to shower, sleep and repack our huge suitcases.
If you take the tour go in with eyes open and just enjoy the trip, we had no problems with any part of the tour but by the end we were stuffed. Lots of walking places and we snuck in quite a lot of shopping in a few of the china towns.
The tour bus was huge and our bus driver was really nice. He was amazing negotiating the bus around the streets and road works of NYC and interstates that go on forever. Each stop our tour guide let us know how long we had at that location,.. what to see, and all the information and history. We got to know a lot about each city over the 7 days and came home feeling like we knew a lot more then we would have found out on our own. Our tour guide was very informative and he got along with everyone on the bus. We did have long days, (early mornings and late nights), but seeing as much as we did it was well worth it. The hotels were very nice and getting into our room each evening was very quick and hassle free. The people on the tour with us were a bit of a worry at first. We had a lot of Asian tourists with us on the bus and didn't know what to expect. By the end of the tour we all knew each other quite well and I loved learning things about Chinese culture. I had no problems with anyone on the bus and by the second or third day we were all talking to each other easily. The buffet dinners we had were amazing and very inexpensive and the Chinese banquets were full of great foods. We visited so many places that were on my list of things I wanted to see while in the USA and I am so glad I chose this tour. I went on the tour with my 11 year old daughter and she loved it as much as me. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has a bit of adventure in them, sometimes it was fast paced and there was a lot of driving time on the bus but I do believe that without all this we wouldn't have seen half of what we did. It gave me a great introduction to the east coast USA and Canada and now I just want to see more. Everyone involved in the tour including the sightseeing guides were great and I would go again.
