“Galen was our tour guide and driver. He was wonderful throughout and I really appreciate him for his support and kindness towards my elderly parents. He did not rush them but instead helped me/them get through all the difficult wheelchair accessible situations. He has become part of this memorable trip with our family. Thank you, Galen! Good luck 👍”

3.Premium Small Group New York 2-Day Tour From Washington D.C

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6 reviews · from $822

You’ll travel from Washington DC to Philadelphia and New York in a group of up to 12, using a Wi-Fi-equipped van or coach. Expect Wall Street, Times Square, a New York night tour, one hotel night, breakfast, and optional tickets for One World Observatory and a Liberty cruise.

“Very Hard to understand and communicate effectively with the tour guides. Drove several hours to Pennsylvania to see the Liberty Bell and was given only 30 minutes! Was not able to look at the displays at all. Not really a tour guide, no history or info shared. More of a driver to points of interest. Also driver constantly tapped accelerator so very jerky ride. On a positive note, saw a lot in NY city!”
