Booked the Niagara Falls trip 2 months back. The payment was promptly taken. Got an email 2 days before departure that the trip was cancelled! No alternatives given. Yet to get a refund. Unprofessional. Unethical. Avoid at all cost!!!

Terrible tour guide .only interested in optional tours. Tells you nothing of any thing Sits like a dummy from strat to finish You might as well have had a goat with you Speaks Chinese and terrible English Waste of money and precious time Do it on your own at least Las Vegas

Took a trip to Grand Canyon, Vegas and Antelope Canyon. Bus that picked up and drove for 10 hours was a large van. Not a touring bus. Great driver with enough bio break halts. Reached Las Vegas at 8 PM and they did not show us anything. We were too tired to explore ourselves. Flagstaff hotel was very good. However, for Breakfast, the first few people took all the food and about 50% did not get anything to eat. We had to buy from neighborhood store. Hotel did not replenish. 70% of tourists were Chinese origin. Tour guides speak English and Chinese fluently. Also, payment of sights is Mandatory. Tips is Mandatory. There is nothing optional to see. Only sights where payment is required is the stop. So expect to spend another $200 per person apart from tour tickets. Plus spend on food. Driver only takes Cash. Non negotiable and Mandatory

Terrible experience I along with my 4 year child took the Washington DC tour on 17th and 18th May 2018. We joined from Philadelphia and had a nightmare of 2 days during the tour. 1) The pick up time from Philadelphia was 12:30pm. But the actual pick up was at 3pm as the bus was late from new york. 2) Because it started late, the tour guide, Eva, cancelled sightseeing of DC on that day and asked us to be ready at 5:45am the next day. 2) The tour guide, Eva, was highly inconsiderate of the child. Her only agenda was to tick the visits than to make us feel worth of the trip. Go to Lincoln memorial for 5 minutes, then white house for 5 minutes. 3) When we went to Capitol, Eva kept pushing in a very rude manner. The Capitol staff was very helpful seeing a stroller and a child. After the tour, I took the child to bathroom but Eva disappeared to the next stop without waiting for even 5 minutes. 4) When we called her many times, she told, just take a cab and come to xyz museum. 5) Museums in DC are nice and big. Eva allowed barely 25-30 minutes at each place. All she cared about is the tick box, not the experience. Overall, it was a highly disappointing and frustrating experience, mainly because of the tour guide's rude behaviour and her mis planning. Take tours should fire her or at least train her on how to behave with tourists and be considerate of kids and mums. I would recommend taking a greyhound to DC and then taking a local tour than going with taketours who have such useless tour guides. I feel I wasted my money.

Never again! Rude tour guide, worst bus driver he didn’t know his way

Don’t go in taketours travels bad bus bad smell and bad time management they come late and they won’t give minimum time to see the places they won’t even bother for passengers rest room issues always they want getoff their duty intime. Charges are also very high . Better pool up with your friends and book good hotels

We took take tour 4 days tour with 10 people after our Alaska cruise in Seattle starting May 20, 2018. We paid usd 311 per person. I have been trying to ask the name of the hotel, and they never gave us the name until we arrived. They promised for pick up at cruise terminal at 12 noon, and they did come at 12:30 pm for the so called free pick up. Then they send us to a motel so far away from the city far south from airport, Red Lion in Federal way. The next day they we started the tour. They ask us to pay $10 per person for the FREE pick up the day before. In Mt rainier, we had to pay $35 each for park admission, which is a mark up of $25 from the official park entry fee. The unfriendliness of the guide and the driver, the rip off, lies, turned us off, so we end up giving up the last day tour, because they made us sick.

We 4 persons tour was taken from Gaiherburg 7 days 6 night tour to USA and Canada today is last day since 20th May our Guidd and Bus is changed to 1668 earlier it was 1698. The Guide in earlier was very nice co-operative and Garry was taking care of alk passengers in mice way but in this bus the Guide Angila is poorest she did not bother about the passengers who have participated from other countries. Our hotel stay at New Jersy Holiday Inn was worst. She did not take care of the passengers and not covered the points of interest like white house in Washington DC and also in New York. We are at all not comfortable since yesterday with this new bus. R R Bhaskar Mohan Vashishat Padma Vashishat Nita Bhaskar
