This tour of the Eastern part of the USA and Canada really changed my perception of both these countries. I would think I have seen, tasted and heard all about these countries before even setting foot on their soils but experiencing these nations in person has enhanced and even changed what I thought I knew.
Starting with the three nights in New York, journeying north through New England and into Quebec and venturing East through Ottawa, Toronto to the breath-taking Niagara Falls and going down south into Mid-Western America through Detroit, Pittsburgh and eventually arriving in Washington DC, this trip had it all and it's an experience I won't forget!
If you are curious about this part of the North American continent, then I would recommend going on this tour. You will be in safe hands with Larry the knowledgeable and friendly tour director and our driver Leo was the ultimate professional motor coach operator!
Good times and good company were had in this part of the world!

Overall I had the best time and this is definitely one of my favourite trips I have done. Each country was special in its own way and the people are so great. Being able to snorkel and swim with sharks was a real bucket list moment in Belize and then hiking up Acatenango in Guatemala was an experience I will never forget and truly magical considering it was also the most difficult thing I have ever done.

The coach, hotels & destinations were all great. The only issue would be to include some form of breakfast every day, even a basic ‘boxed’ breakfast, especially on early start mornings. Eventhough there are multiple stops, a breakfast with a muffin, a savoury item, juice/water & fruit, would ease the pressure on guests to find something nearby, within the time available. I appreciate Costsaver endeavour to minimise costs, but the guests are still having ‘out of pocket expenses’ & trying to find something, with limited time & outlets appropriate to their needs.

Great tour itinerary with 2 x night accommodation at quality, well-located, hotels. Daily schedules included stops at highlights both en-route or at designated city stopovers, as well as sufficient “at leisure” time to explore independently. Our excellent Tour Director, provided insightful knowledge of destinations and recommendations throughout the tour. The coach transport was first-class as was our Driver. Availability of the on-board Wi-Fi and electronic device re-charging was particularly convenient. The Local Guides were engaging and professional.

Perfect itinerary. It covered all of the places I’ve always wanted to see. The driver and tour director did an excellent job. I had a great time. The bus was new and very comfortable, but sounded like an infirmary with people coughing and sneezing. I managed to avoid the spreading respiratory illness until the last day of the tour. Even the tour director got sick. The day I got home I tested positive for COVID, as did other fellow travelers who tested. It was my first ever bout with COVID, and I was out sick for a week. I wish the people who were sick on the bus were encouraged to wear masks, although it would have been hard to avoid, since we often ate together, etc. The irony is that I chose a bus tour rather than a cruise in the hope that fewer people would mean less chance of illness. Still, I’m glad I took the trip (it really was fantastic), but wanted to forewarn others the risks are still out there.

This is my first group trip. I am a woman and I travel alone. The tour offered culture and nature. I am interested in arts and crafts, so I saw some relevant museums. The social unity of the group was good. The hotels were fine. The trip is recommended.

Excellent trip. Hotel locations and services were excellent. The tour director was excellent as well as all of the transportation on the 4 islands and between the islands. The first hotel (Twin Fin) in Waikiki was not luxury but adequate, especially since we did not spend much time in the hotel. The other 3 hotels were excellent.

A very enjoyable tour with an excellent and informative tour leader who always went the extra mile to ensure things ran smoothly. Perhaps the only criticism is that it needs to be stressed in the trip notes that although crossing the Gulf of Fonseca by boat is an adventure it’s going to be rather wet.
