Globus description of some of the daily events was a bit exaggerated. For example, the day we went to Lancaster, PA, most of us thought we would see and experience the Amish life. Instead, we watched a video on the bus!! More transparency (honesty) would have been greatly appreciated. This one night in Lancaster could be eliminated from the tour. Also, Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal were boring. Not much to see and do. Perhaps substitute these with days in the New England area. The tour guide was exceptional, best we've ever had. Ditto the driver. Give them a tour package worthy of sharing with us. We have booked a tour in Alaska next month with Globus. I hope there's more to keep us interested and active each day.
