CHRIS – BrazilNovember 22, 2023 – Verified booking
Só não dei excelente por condições alheias à equipe da Empire Vacations: o dia estava chuvoso, e da 5 atividades, 4 eram ao ar livre; e a volta foi bastante demorada devido ao congestionamento de trânsito entre Washington e Baltimore, em que levamos umas 2,5 horas pra fazer em torno de 80 Km; 5,5 horas no total. No demais, equipe excelente, nosso guia Antônio Luís foi maravilhoso explicando tudo em português e bastante atencioso. Vale muito a pena se você não tem muito tempo; uma ótima relação custo-benefício considerando os gastos que você teria com transporte, pedágios, guias poliglotas, entrada no museu aeroespacial, etc. E aprende um pouco mais sobre Nova Iorque também. Por último, os marcos político-históricos que visitamos em Washington são lindos. Recomendo.

Excellent guide with English/ Japanese linguistic skills for the clients. The bus was late to pick us up from the meeting point, but she was efficient and kept updating us who were waiting, reassuring us. Her knowledge of the trip, places and tips of dining at the stops was very helpful. She was extremely patient with all of us, cheerful and one of the best ever guided. Thank you

Enlightening.Enjoyable. Our guide was passionate about her subject..Great background information given on the History of America.An extra half hour was needed for the Museum visit and maybe a choice of adjoining museum. For example Museum of the American Indian was beside The Space Museum. Our guide could have cut back on information on the Veterans. - too much information.One complaint - The seatģfront of me was in a permanently reclined position, as it was broken.
