Tipping is a great way to show your appreciation for the people who help keep your tour running smoothly. It can be confusing who to tip, when to tip, and how much.

Tour Manager: To express appreciation for your Tour Manager’s excellent service, $5-$8 US Dollars per person for each travel day is customary.
(When to tip: at the end of your tour)

Local Guide: For the insights, knowledge, and stories they share with you, $2-$3 US Dollars per person is recommended.
(When to tip: at the end of your day or time with your guide)

Motor Coach Driver: To express your appreciation for a job well done, $3-$5 US Dollars per person for each travel day is customary.
(When to tip: at the end of your tour or time with your driver)
 

Local Cuisine

You're in for a treat as you sample some of the most diverse flavors in the world in this American melting pot of cultures and flavors. From local diners to famous delis to world renowned restaurants, a trip to New York City takes you on a true culinary adventure.

Many celebrated chefs have restaurants throughout the city that have distinct, fun themes and very trendy atmospheres. The city's diverse neighborhoods each offer cuisine largely influenced by the various ethnic groups of that area.

Don’t forget to try an authentic slice of New York pizza and New York style bagels! For dessert be sure to check out New York-style cheesecake!

Transportation

Your comfort is important to us. With that in mind, we charter coaches that are temperature controlled and have toilet facilities on board.

Change your seat, change your view! At least once a day, the Tour Manager will ask all guests to change seats. This ensures that every guest has an opportunity to enjoy a variety of views as they travel and a chance to get to know each other better. In fairness to all, there will be no exceptions to this policy.

Our planet affords us so many awe-inspiring natural wonders. To ensure that stunning natural beauty can be enjoyed for generations to come, we’ve been making several changes to the ways we live, work and travel. In our offices and on our tours, we are committed to reducing single-use plastics. On our USA tours, bottles of water are not distributed or sold on our motor coaches. However, we encourage you to bring your own reusable water bottle and your Tour Manager will provide details on where you can fill it up each day!
