This was an excellent value-packed tour. The driver and the guide were excellent. The tour included several states and some breath-taking sites including Martha's Vineyard homes, food and beaches. The Breakers" Vanderbilt Mansion is amazing....
Alicea, our Guide, was patient, resourceful and gave clear directions/info. we will do it again

This trip is obviously a budget tour, the old saying is you get what you pay for. Be prepared that if you do not want to do all the attractions you will be sitting around and waiting a lot of the time. If you do participate in everything th..ere is a cost of $210 per person plus your $24 per person service fee.
The bus was basic and the seats quite uncomfortable and the tour is definitely packaged towards the Chinese guests with dinner both nights organised at Chinese restaurants and on the night the only other food option close by was Indian. We stopped for 1 hour for dinner 20 minutes from our motel when there were a large variety of different eating options near the motel.
The first two days we were sitting at the front of the bus and there was plenty of leg room but the third day the tour guide reallocated seating and we were relocated to the back of the bus where there was no leg room at all (and I have short legs. The driver advised us that they had put the seats at the back of the bus closer so they could fit another row of seating in. There was also a vibration in the back of the bus that my husband described as either being a tyre out of round or a tyre out of balance. This vibration got worse the faster we went.
On the way home after a delay at US immigration as one of the passengers was refused entry back into the US we finally set off on our way. After about 5 minutes the window directly behind me (on the rear LHS of the bus near the toilet) blew open and my son was able to get it closed but the noise of the wind whistling through the gap and the cold air was terrible.
About 10 minutes later the rear window at the right hand side of the bus started to open. My husband tried to stop it but the handle was at the back of the window and it blew opened, this then caused the window behind me to open again. We told the driver to stop but he just kept driving, not only did he keep driving but he did not slow down. A few seconds later they got the window on the Right Hand Side closed but the window on the Left hand side blew totally off, even after this happened and the tour guide went down to the front of the bus and again told the driver to stop he continued driving for several kilometres before he pulled over.
After he inspected the bus he advised us he would have to drive to the next food stop (20 minutes away) and he would find something to tape it off to get us home because if we had to wait for another bus it would take 7 hours for it to get there.
It was freezing cold at the back of the bus with the window missing and I feel the attitude of the bus driver was disgusting, it does not matter where you are driving if there is an emergency which there obviously was, you can stop for a short time. Had he done that then the window would probably not have blown off.

I don't understand why there aren't more reviews, because I really enjoyed this tour. It was great! We were picked up by a nice shuttlebus driver, someone was waiting for us on the airport, our tourguide (Giuseppe) was very funny and enthus..iastic, the bus was very nice and clean, the busdriver (Melissa) was nice, we had a very luxurious lunch at the Sheraton Hotel.. And most important; we saw everything there was to see! We went on the Maid of the Mist Boat Tour, we saw the American and Canadian side of the Niagara Falls and more. We even went through Buffalo!
I could only recommend this.
The only thing I'll complain about is that the agency is hard to reach when you're reconfirming the reservation 24 hours before. Luckily someone from our hotel could help us out with that.
We really had a great day and if I had to choose again, I would choose this tour.Read full review

We had a wonderful time at our tour!
Everything was very well planed. The only thing we didn´t like was the food court where we were taken for dinner and lunch, it was a very cheap and food was very greasy.
The sightseeing and everyt..hing else was great, the hotel was also very nice.

If you plan to put in as much as you can in one day this is the tour for you. For a quick tour of New York.
You get to see all the important tourist sights and
the Tour Guide is very helpful and knowledgable.
Entrance fee to sights are ..not included in the package, so you need to have money on you to pay for the entrance fees. Lunch also is not catered for.Read full review

I did not expect to see so many places in one 3-days tour. Very well done L&L Tours! Special thank you to our wonderful guide, Mars and the best driver, Ivan. The guys are fun and professional.
We took this trip during Christmas time and it was really cool, most of the people were Chinese but it didn't make any difference. Tour guide - Teresa was very nice. Hotels were amazing! Really good price.

An excellent tour all round. Our driver and tour guide were very helpful. Our guide, Kai Choo (hope I've spelled his name correctly) was very informative and gave us plenty of information to make the trip both informative and enjoyable. Wel..l done! Excellent value for money.Read full review
I went on this tour with my sister and niece.We had a great time. The guides were very informative and had a good sense of humor.It was well worth the money. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends.
We enjoyed our tour very much, not only my family but also everybody who joined the tour. Everybody joined all the attractions except the Imax movie. But the rest we joined. Our guides namely Steven and Jackie together with our driver, they.. were very nice, organized. we were on time allways, we were on schedule. They r also very helpful. I suggest you join all the attractions, except the corning glass museum, imax movie and the CN tower. The hotels where we stayed are also nice, big and nice hotel. We stayed at Universal Inn at Niagara falls, and Quality hotel in Toronto. they were both nice. We are satisfied. An excellent tour!Read full review
This is an awesome tour. Everything was perfect. The hotels, bus and attractions.
You just need to plan on some extra money for the attractions.
I really enjoyed it
At the start of the tour we met 'Vito', the tour was then jam packed with sites, photo opportunities, titbits of information and humour. The tour guide Marc (an extra) was a good presenter, made it very fun and interesting. The locations we..re great. My partner went on the tour 9 years ago and he said it was as good as then and better with the advantage of all of the series's. The bus was comfortable, clean and air-conditioned (and there were toilets). If you are wondering whether to go on this tour or not....you absolutely must!!!!Read full review
The tour guide showed clips from the show that corresponded with the actual sites. She was entertaining & gave lots of interesting facts & trivea. We really enjoyed it! :o)
