Nice one Why are you forcing people to write more? This is a voluntary exercise.
This tour was an incredible value for the price. We managed to hit all the key highlights in both Washington D.C. and Philadelphia without feeling overly rushed, making it a fantastic way to see the most important sights in a short amount of time. Although the heat made it so much worse. What really made the experience standout was our guide, Carlos. As someone who speaks multiple languages, I thoroughly enjoyed how effortlessly he switched between English and Spanish throughout the entire trip. His dual-language commentary added a super engaging dynamic to the whole trip. The only downside was that I wish we had more time to explore each city at our own pace, but it just means I'll definitely be coming back for a longer visit in the future!!!
Very good experience, good atmosphere and pleasant with Carlos Becerra (our guide) and Mejía (our driver), highly recommended.
The tour was great. The guide Carlos has a lot of knowledge of U.S. history, he also has an amazing ability to alternate between English and Spanish. The bus is spacious and good air-conditioned.
Amazing experience with Jay as tour guide.
Nice experience, made it to all the stops as advertise, great guide. Jay did excellent
It was really nice, I had time to enjoy the places and take a lot of pictures
We booked the tour for Washington & Philadelphia in one day. Managed to see so much and had time to stop off for souvenirs at both locations. The tour guide, Carlos, was friendly, checked in with everyone regularly to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves, and kept to timings to consider enough time to see everything along the way. Highly recommend booking through Amigo Tours - definitely worth the price!
Tour is excellent.....bus arrived on time. Carlos, our tour guide is knowledgeable about the facts, communicates well, and gave us enough time to buy souvenirs. Freddie, our driver, drove safely and smoothly through the traffic in Washington DC, Philadelphia and NJ. We were able to see a lot of places..... although we missed the Liberty Bell as we arrived Philly when it closed, but we still saw the bell through a glass window from the outside. It's worth the $$$!
Good guide, good driver. Recommended tour.
