Excellent overview of important historical events and sites. Well balanced itinerary. Very nice hotels and included meals were delicious.
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.
All was accomplished and met our expectations and more. Everyone involved, from Tour Director to presenters to Coach Driver were just so nice & informative. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
There was a lot to see and try to absorb in little time. It brought a lot of our history to life.
We had a great European trip years ago, so we decided to try Trafalgar here in the states. LOVED IT. Our guide was not only very knowledgeable, he was purposefully attentive. Our time was cut short due an emergency on our part at the end, but we had a great experience, and will schedule another. We thank you so much for every moment.
Our tour guide utilized every opportunity and minute to give us historical information and "get another site" in. He gave us information about the museum and area and which portions he found most interesting- thus making it easier for us to "pick and choose".
It was a great itinerary we saw a lot.
