The tour was well...

The tour was well organized and ran smoothly, with everything on schedule. However, the guide mostly gave only reminders about the next stop and very little information about the locations we visited. It would have been nicer to hear more background and details along the way.

Very Good experience

The trip is well planned. The choice of stops and hotel stay was very good. Our guide Rex from Jupiter travel was very helpful. We saw so many sites and everything was mesmerizing. Thanks again

Average

Packed too many events into an overnight trip, and charge extras when lots of the places were free, like Yale and Harvard tours

Informative tour

There were a lot of activities and attractions: we visited Yale and Harvard Universities, Rhode Island and Boston. It's a lot of information, but the tour is still joyful and relaxing due to the excellent organization and guidance.
