This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I traveled w/ a group of seniors on a group tour from Phila, PA to NOLA. The bus was extremely uncomfortable, false advertising concerning type of bus used for transportation. Bus was tight, no leg room or cup holders. Hours long ride, although driver did stop the required 2 1/2 hours for a quick break, most folks had swelling in feet and ankles. We were informed to try and not use the rest room on the bus due to the small septic tank- and on the way back, we couldn’t use it all. I also had to inform driver that more hand sanitizer and toilet paper and Lysol wipes needed in the bathroom. We were not informed by our group leader that the hotel we stayed in Nola was an extended stay hotel- no amenities/ soap- shampoo etc, or cleaning of rooms for the 3 day stay. Had to wait a full day to get clean wash cloths and towels. The prepaid dinners were @ awful restaurants w/ limited menu’s which mainly just consisted of fried catfish, small shrimp and fries. Although I did enjoy the NOLA tours, tours were not geared towards the true authentic New Orleans experience. The itinerary was primarily an American history & shopping tour. I would never take another group bus tour with this company. They lack compassion for seniors and lack of knowledge for gearing tours for specific audiences. Lastly we had an excellent driver with good driving skills, but he was given bad directions from the tour company to some of our destinations.

Recommendation: I do not recommend using this tour group without verification of bus comfort and hotel accommodations and prepaid dinners options.

Oct 4- 12th 2025 Bus departed Philadelphia Pa on Oct 4th - traveled to and thru Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, New Orleans La.
False advertising for bus type- bus was not spacious motor coach as advertised. No leg room, tight seats, no foot rest, no ability to recline seats and no cup holders. For seniors to travel like this for hours @ a time ie unacceptable. Was informed on Oct 4th by driver to try and not use bathroom on the bus. Bathroom on bus not useable on the return trip Oct 12th, from NOLA to Pennsylvania. Food at one of the prepaid dinner’s restaurant in NOLA- (Piccadilly cafeteria,) made me sick to my stomach. I will file complaint about that restaurant.
