Dear All,
I plan to take the tour starting 4 April 2009 departing from Washinton DC. I will stay at Hilton Homewood Suites Hotel at 8130 Porter Road, Falls Church, Virginia.
I've never been to DC, so I wonder if it is far from the hotel to the pick-up place? Do I need to change a hotel, say the night before departure?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Warm regards,
Miao

Hi, I'm interested in your tour but I hesitate between USNY33-216 and USNY3-650.
I travel with my son 10 y.o and so I need some informations. Is there any restaurant at each hotel? is Maid of the Mist operational on april 24th? What are the aditionnal optional tours ?
many thanks from France, French Riviera- Brigitte
Hi Nullet Brigitte:
Most of the hotels that are used for this tour have restaurants. Occassionally there may be a hotel that does not have a restaurant, but this should not be a problem. The tour guide will arrange time for passengers to eat their lunch and dinner on the road. For breafast, if the hotel should not have a restaurant for guests to enjoy their early morning meal, then the tour guide will make other arrangements for the group to eat on the road.
The opening date of the Maid of the Mist cruise depends on the ice conditions of the River/Niagara Falls.
Please view the Package Excludes section for additional optional tours.
Thank you for your inquiry.

Hi Louis:
The tour usually ends in Los Angeles, in Chinatown at around 6:00-7:00 pm. Booking as soon as you're decided on taking the tour is recommended as it minimizes the risk of the tour selling out.
Thank you for your inquiry.

is possible during the gran voyager expedition tour , to go by my self (i buy tickets) to the skywalk? is there time for it?
are the planes and helicopters as shown in the pics?
whtas the difference between this tour ant the grang voyager tour?
thak you for your response
Hi Jorge angel:
As the tour follows a pretty tight schedule, there would not be enough time for you to visit the Skywalk. The planes and helicopters used for the tours are as shown in our pictures. The tours are different only in that the fleet used for each tour is different.
We have a tour that would include the Skywalk, and the tour is called the Indian Adventure with Skywalk Tour. Fore more information on this tour, please follow the link below:

Re my last question on Monday 26 Jan,u wrote the following answer:
A. Please note that order of day-to-day itinerary is adjustable depending on tour start day and weather. Sometimes the tour will visit the Niagara Falls first, rather than Washington D.C. We do not recommend customers to request to meet up with the tour group along the way of any tour. Sometimes, passengers can end up missing parts of the tour or have difficulties Check into hotel rooms must be accompanied by tour guide, due to the reservation at each hotel will be made as a group reservation.
I want to know:
I must know the routing as the last day of the tour we would like to take the flight back home rather than travelling bk to NY. Please let me know whether Niagra is visited first or Washington. I have to book my flight accordingly. We have no problem in joining the tour from starting point NY. Pls suggest , out of ur pick locations in NY , which will be the closest if i am coming from Connecticut to join this tour?
thanks
Jain
Hi Jain:
The tour lists the end location as New York City as this is really the only available location for a guaranteed end point for the tour. As we've mentioned earlier, the tour itinerary order is subject to change and cannot be confirmed until 24-48 hours after an order is placed. If you need to book a departure flight out of any city, we highly recommend that you book one out LGA, JFK or EWR. The closest and most accessible pickup location from Connecticut would be the Flushing location.
Thank you for your inquiry.
