I'm already a traveler with two years of experience, and I've tried different ways to spend my well-deserved vacation. I'll write briefly, clearly, and usefully!) How can you come to the States and not travel around it?!)
In the first year (2013), I bought a 7-day tour. There were three of us. Tour companies have many promotions where the more people buy, the cheaper it gets. Very profitable! If you don't have a driver's license and are afraid of taking buses, this is the ideal option for you! I didn't know how to drive, and I wanted to see more places in a short time. (We also spent 2 nights in New York). Now a smile involuntarily appears on my face. It was a wonderful summer. I think many people only remember the good events and feelings. I don't regret my summer vacation spent abroad in America! The tour included bus transport, a guide, and hotel nights. The 7 days included cities like: New York, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., Boston, and Niagara Falls. We visited many museums, restaurants, and famous places. I can't list everything anymore, but it's in my memory))) I'll post better photos later so you'll believe me more)) I found it - info@taketours.com - 6-Day New East Coast Deluxe Tour (2 Nights in D.C) from New York: Qty 3, it cost us E-Ticket Details Total amount charged: $960, so it comes out to $320 each, I can post more details if you want))
In 2014, we decided to experience freedom on our own. A tour is good, but we started early in the morning and were on our feet until late at night. So we planned our trip months in advance. We also had driver's licenses!) I got mine before flying out, and because of that, I postponed my flight for a week))) I wanted to feel the American breeze from the car. To recreate scenes from movies and drive through the most famous parts of America, spend days in each town, and feel the energy of every city. On the tour, sometimes we only spent a couple of hours in a certain place, we were always late and got scolded))) by the end of the tour we were even tired))) those are the downsides. Still, it's necessary to plan everything in advance, it's a very interesting process! Also, I don't advise gathering very large groups of people. Better 3-4 people. In large companies, everyone has their own wishes, it's hard to combine them. But if you are close-knit, it's cool!))) Don't forget to buy a high-quality camera, we didn't want to take photos back then, now we've looked through all the photos at home until they're worn out)
There are various ways to have a good rest. Fortunately, I met unusual, interesting people during my travels. Everyone chose their own way based on financial and physical possibilities. Many students rented cars, bought a "bus pass". A "bus pass" is issued by bus companies for a certain period, e.g., for a month. Very convenient, because the driver gets tired when driving, and this way they slept on buses, specifically taking night ones and even saved money that way. So study and choose what you would like to travel by for starters (car, bus, train, ride-share). The better you plan, the more you will enjoy America in a relaxed way later. Ask in DM, it's very nice to hear that you read my 4 pages and are grateful.))) Have a great summer, see you there!)
I promise to finish this topic, it's just that I want to write a lot, but I can't find the time lately. After all, I will be traveling this summer too, and I already have good thoughts on how to properly spend the summer and enjoy it correctly, it will be nice to share and find like-minded people. Write to me in DM on VKontakte if anything, I'll be waiting.)))
