I thoroughly enjoyed actually seeing so many of the sites I had learned about in American history. The itinerary was well planned, and our director was the best!

The itinerary was good. Some early starts but they were needed to fit everything in. The tour was excellent. Well paced. Plenty of rest stops when travelling. My sister and I had a fabulous time, really enjoyed it.
