The trip is generally ok and you will have decent time spent at each attraction. The view is amazing, particularly at the top of Skylon Tower during so make sure you don't miss that out. Will recommend for the trip if you don't mind a tour ..that:
1) barely has any introduction of places etc... it's mostly just facilitation of the group (in mostly Chinese of course)
2) assigns a hotel that has a weak and slow wifi but walkable to most of the attractions (I was a little upset having to pay additional US$40 for single accommodation when I learnt that the room is just abt US$62 per night)
3) does not follow the order of attractions as stated but its not a big problem since it does bring you to all the attractions as promised
4) the illuminated falls, fireworks, and skywheel are not part of the facilitated tour; you do have to go to these places on your own after check-in but they are within walking distance nevertheless
5) spends 2hrs PER DAY (a quarter of the tour duration each day) at the helicopter ride site. If you are not taking the ride, 3 options are available for you: (a) wait in the coach but driver will off the air-conditioning, (b) hang around in the small gift shop or (c) wait outside the shop under the sun. No option D. Will suggest future tours to offer alternative arrangement for those not doing the ride, otherwise 2hrs per day of wait time is no joke boring.
6) has uninformed drop-off points at other hotel and airport before it drops you at downtown at the Yorkdale shopping centre ttc. Note: It does not drop you off at Chinatown as stated.Read full review
Days 1 to 7 were exceptional with Tony as our guide.
Day 8 was also very good with different guide who was helpful with last minute decisions.Day 9 was horrible starting with an angry driver. Very bad planning to the division of guests for.. the different drop off points in LA. Tour guide nor driver were very helpful. ######HAD AN UNPLEASANT NIGHT ON DAY 8 AT SELECTED HOTEL. HANDICAPPED ROOM IN STATE OF RENOVATION. SHOWER WATER WAS FLOWING IN TOILET AREA. SINK OVERFLOWING -WATER CLOGGED IN SINK. MENTIONED TO NIGHT MANAGER WHO TOLD US THAT WE HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING. DID NOT MENTION TO TONY AS IT WAS LATE BY THE TIME OF DISCOVERY. My thanks to TONY and 2ND guide.Read full review
I sincerely recommend tours with this company . The trips are relaxing and unforgettable. If you want to have fun in life, traveling is one of the most healthy ways to do it. Good luck!
The 1st day of the tour was really nice & informative. The Breaker's MAnsion is a must see. Thank you for including it in the itenerary. Bus tour for Martha Vineyard was really informative coz the tour guide was very knowledgeable being a l..ocal. The only suggestion i can make is to have a longer time at the Aquinnah Cliff coz there wasn't enough ti to enjoy the beautiful scenery and not much time for picture taking. Overall, the tour was very good. Helen, our tour guide was very helpful and has a very good introduction to the places we were abt to see. She was very organized and corteous to everybody. She has a very pleasant personality. We ha e joined many tours like this in the past and so far, Helen has been our best tour guide.Read full review
This is our 2nd trip from this company.We had a great time on this trip. Helen our tour guide was kind and patience despite of having crazy people on the bus. We will definitely go on another trip from this company.
The trip was nice,except for one unruly passenger who refused to pay her dues. Our tour guide Helen is very good .She sticks to the agreed rules and it makes the trip easier. Almost everyone comes back to the bus on time. Keep up the good w..ork.Read full review
From the reservation to the trip was really great. Our tour guide Helen was great. SHe is very nice and accommodating. THe bus driver (Edgar) was really driving very carefully. He is a very nice guy. We really had fun at our 2 day trip from.. Essex steam train to Martha;s Vineyard, THe only problem was the traffic, of course it's unavoidable..But everything was great. For sure we will go on trip again. I travelled with them 2x already and there will be more travel to come...Read full review

By: Dennis Lumawig | Sat Sep 12, 2015 at 09.54 PM
I was looking for a great time with company of friends over the labor day week end without driving and this tour made it all come true! It was relaxing and yet informative way of visiting New England (Martha's, Rhode Island and Connecticut).. in 2 days! The tour guide kept us well informed of our whereabouts and the bus itself is comfortable. For the price and activities you will be getting from this tour is worth it!Read full review
