      Our bus trip to New York City was quiet and uneventful as far as the ride itself was concerned. My daughter was able to nap and my granddaughter did seem a little bored. We did have a video on the ride up to NYC; ELF, I actually had never seen. My husband and I were fine as always; the seats were very comfortable and fairly roomy and the temp in the bus was comfortable. Holly Foubister of Educational Travel Service had opportunities for all travelers and information for dining and extra activities as well with maps too. Our accommodations at the Edison were quite nice and the beds comfortable too. We loved the Rockettes and the play we chose was Funny Girl. I was disappointed to know at the last moment that Lea Michele wouldn't be starring; apparently that was her break day; the actress we saw was awesome though. My family enjoyed the warmer weather for several days walking to the zoo, trying to do the Today show, seeing the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree and just wandering around Times Square. My only complaint this time was it was even more crowded than when we visited in December 2019 so we missed a few sites. We took the subway from 50th Street to the 911 Museum/Memorial and it was pretty nice; clean, no disruptive behaviors, fast and inexpensive. It did seem to cost more to travel by bus, etc than our previous visit. Had several good meals and visited Bryant Park and watched the skaters and shopped the little shops there. The return was very good as well, quiet and uneventful with games to pass the time. On only our last stop to have a bite to eat were we lacking and Holly apologized for her dropping the meal spot. All in all a great trip was had by us and everyone we chatted with. We love traveling with Educational Travel Service whether with Holly or her Dad, Ron.

      This trip to NYC at Christmas far exceeded my expectations. It was the perfect amount of structure. I didn't have to think about travel or hotel accommodations or getting tickets to the Rockettes or Moulin Rogue. It was all done for us! And we had ample unstructured time to explore NYC and to do things we wanted to do. This is a trip that will provide lasting memories for me and my daughter. I highly recommend this trip! I hope to do this trip again in the future with my husband.

      I am so glad our friends, regular clients of Educational Travel Service, asked us to accompany them on this great trip. I could check three long overdue items off my bucket list: seeing a Broadway play, seeing the Rockettes, and seeing the decorations and tree at Rockefeller Center. Holly, our tour leader, did a great job leading us to the shows and back for those of us who wanted that service. The group was congenial and the children who were with the group could not have been nicer or better behaved. The hotel room was spacious by New York City standards and its location was prime, one half block off Times Square. This trip is a good value and a good time. Only thing that could have made the trip even better would have been a more comfortable bus. The seats were quite crowded and lacked legroom, even for a short person. I look forward to another trip with Educational Travel Service.
