Reviews of our New York Tours for May
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around New York during May.
Koshu R. | Traveled in May
A fabulous trip. It was very well Organised. The Tour Director and driver were excellent and very friendly. Everything was on time and vegetarian meals were organised too. The optional tours and general sight seeing was informative and interesting. The hotels were well situated in the city centre and that is big plus point. I would definitely recommmend Trafalgar to others.
Errol R. | Traveled in May
The itinerary was good for the first tour of the season. Adjustments needed to be made that were out of the control of the tour director who was able to adjust to the changes with minimum fuss to the tour. Seatbelts on the bus could be best described as atrocious as they had very little flexibility and restricted movement. It is understood that this is not a reflection on Trafalgar but is feedback that should be passed on to the manufacturer of the vehicle. This is relevant now that seatbelts are mandatory in some states.

Loved the hotel. It was close to many restaurants and points of interest. I especially enjoyed seeing the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The Broadway shows were very enjoyable too.
Ms. Rachel T. | Traveled in May
This tour is a fabulous way to get to grips with the immigrant origins of New York and America as well as the present day sights and sounds of the lower east side!

You definitely do see the best of USA in this trip! The places we visited were amazing and the accommodation was very nice especially in Las Vegas. My tour buddies were also very friendly and chilled out.

This trip is actually part of the LA to Miami tour so when you start in Dallas the rest might already be traveling for two weeks. The trip is a very cool route in the south, lots of music and history of that is your thing. It can be a party trip depending on the people in the group. Overall great fun an some good free time add ons. Some hotels were not so great and kinda filthy.
