"Rushed, fast paced Chinese tour. Run!"

First of all, this tour is made by Chinese for Chinese people. They should make it very clear on their website. If you speak English only, you'll miss lots of information and you'll get pushed around by their rude guide. Our experience was with guides Rick and Kuti (something like that, he said it was from Kill Bill movie). The shuttle bus from Flushing is terrible, crowded... you have to squeeze yourself between the tiny seats. Tour to Niagara Falls was made by van, not by bus as advertised. You will spend a lot of time on the bus, getting little to no time to see the attractions which they'll demand to be paid at once! I thought they were called optional, but the tour guide already has a tally for you to pay. Then they cancelled the native dance because we were the only ones who paid for that. On our way to Niagara Falls, tour guides announces a stop for lunch and restroom. But it was a regular gas station with a Subway in it. Be prepared to know all the China towns you can! From Flushing to Chinatown New York, China Town Niagara Falls (when they say you'll be taken to a food court, just ignore the place and head for the Hard Rock Café behind the building), China Town Boston (if you are not doing the $150 lobster dinner - who eats $150 of lobster?? - don't eat at this Chinatown. We went to a gourmet place, one of the best looking restaurants in this area and it was crowded, but the food were awful. Better off if we had our dinner at the hotel). Hotels are another problem, they are nice but they're 45 minutes away from the attractions. In Niagara Falls, you'll stay in Buffalo. In Boston, you'll stay at a Sheraton too far away from the city. We went to this "food court" thing in Niagara Falls (again, look for the Hard Rock Café), took us 50 minutes to go to the hotel in Buffalo, late at night, and then they said we should be up by 7 am, ready to go. Next morning, we had barely slept and had our breakfast, the guide called us at the restaurant, at the hotel, because we had to leave! (He was very rude). We had to rush with our $40 breakfast in doggie bags to eat it later. The first attraction was the Niagara Falls park, to watch this movie and hop on the Maid of the Mist. To my surprise, they took us to the food court again. I mean, the park is just there, why take us to a hotel in Buffalo the night before? You could save us almost 2 hours if you booked some hotel closer to the park. Guide was terribly rude to me and my mother, sometimes hissing, whistling as he was calling his dogs, rushing, smoking stinky cigarettes on his way, snapping his finger at some point to talk to me. At the Niagara Falls park, he called us to see this movie about the Niagara Falls. Me and my mother deciced to skip the movie and stroll around the park. I mean, the Niagara Falls were just there, live at Nature, what's with this movie attraction? He told us that he wouldn't refund. I said okay, no problem. Then he went on to say that it was a good movie, that we should see it. I said to him that the real thing was outside, we were not spending 30 minutes to see a damn movie about it. Then, he said to me: "But there's nothing to see there. We'll hop on the boat later to see it." I said "how come there's nothing to see? It's the Falls! With Canada behind it, with nature to see..." The park is beautiful, by the way. So, if you want a rushed, fast paced tour listening to Chinese all the way through, squeezed a tiny bus, with a rude tour guide, this one is for you. In Boston, we had to be up by 5 am and leave at 6!! Why? This thing can easily start by 8 a.m. What's with the torture? They'll take you to this secluded hotel by the highway with no other option but stay inside the hotel and do nothing but sleep, because you will need tons of sleep anyway. Tour guide in Boston would not give us a chance to ask about the attractions, the hotel information and stuff, since he were always running with his flag two blocks away from us and everytime I tried to speak English to him, he would look at me, all confused, and wouldn't answer. The Corning Museum is awesome, but again, you won't have much time to see the exhibition, the glass blowing experience and the amazing shop they have there. We were 3 minutes late to hop back on their van advertised as a bus, the tour guide went after me, saying that I gave him the wrong number, because he was trying to call me about the 3 minutes delay. Soo annoying. The places you'll see at this 3 day tour are beautiful, but the annoying tour guides and how they accomodate time here will kill the fun.

"A long drive but worth it"

A long drive but worth it! Our driver/tour guide was excellent.

"If you want to see everything in a …"

If you want to see everything in a short period of time, this is the trip for you. trip was very fast paced, which I like. We saw so many beautiful sites in one week!! I would definitely recommend this tour. Our tour director was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited and our driver was great. The only disappointment I had was with Mother Nature, it snowed and we were not able to get to Grand Teton or Jackson, Wy because the roads were closed :( Other than that, the trip was far greater than I could have imagined. The driver stopped every 2 hours so we could get off the bus and stretch our legs, get something to eat or use the restroom. I will definitely be using Take Tours for my next trip.

"The best"

Good service all in all!! Highly recommended!

"3 day tour to Maine"

We took 3 day tour to Maine - Acadia National Park. It was a well organised and conducted tour. Our tour guide Deymen was an excellent guide, very informative, helpful, polite and very human and understanding. He and the driver cleaned the mess created by a passenger who got sick during the journey without any cribbing and was very polite to him and understanding. He gave us ample amount of time to explore the attractions. All the attractions in the itinerary are great.

My only suggestion is that at least one pick up location should be from Jersey city like other tour conducted by Taketours.

"If you only speak english don’t choose …"

If you only speak english don’t choose because you won’t be getting a lot informations as some the tour guides speak very little english. You will never know whom you will get. Better off looking the true english tour than this. Said in the website there will be English but almost no english except the important details like name of a place,time, place and room number. Miss the whole history of a place because i couldn’t understand chinese.

"Wonderful tour"

Wonderful tour. Was expecting a full-size bus experience versus a 15 passenger van. Our tour guide Max did a great job!

"Not recommend"

Not recommend, as your guide and driver were not good enough with tourist. At one hotel my keys of the room was not working and I called guide Mike to do something as I was traveling alone and he replied me that you have to come to the desk, which was very far and two floors down and told that he was outside the hotel.
So I requested next door tourist to look after my bag and went down stairs and surprisingly Mike was there having coffee.
