What our passengers are saying?
I just returned from New York City with Natasha and John ! It was the best trip ever! The stops on the way down and back were perfectly planned which made the travel days not seem so long. Natasha was an amazing tour guide who was very friendly, personable and so helpful during her tours and with her maps and resources. John did an amazing job getting us to and from New York and navigating in the crazy New York City driving and was so efficient at the border that it made this very easy also. The guided tours were amazing and our local tour guide was amazing. The guided tours helped us to know what we wanted to them see on our own time. I am not a big shopper so felt it wasn’t as interested in the stop at the outlet centre on the way back but it did give us an opportunity to walk and get a bite to eat although the options were limited. However, Natasha did let us know that on the way back and we had the opportunity to get something at the first stop. It was an amazing trip, incredibly well coordinated, with a fabulous tour guide and driver! |
New York City guided Tour from Toronto - May 4th 2023
I had the utmost pleasure of going to Nashville and New York City with Comfort Tours. On both trips the tour guide was Julie and the bus driver was John. What two amazing, fun, and professional individuals. John is an excellent driver, has a great sense of humour, is very courteous, and has interesting information and stories to share about our exciting destinations. Julie is organized plus, fun, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile to make sure every traveler has the best time possible. She is one of the best tour guides I have ever traveled with. Hotel accommodations are always top notch. In Nashville we stayed at the Gaylord Opry Resort which was absolutely stunning with six different themed areas and all decked out with Christmas lights and themes. It provided an experience of a life time in itself.
In New York we stayed at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick, New Jersey and walking distance to the train station with a short ride into New York if you want to stay out late. New Brunswick is quaint with an Irish Pub across the street with live music, an excellent seafood restaurant, and I even went to a comedy club one night. For those that didn’t want to stay in New York, Julie organized a group dinner at Rafferty’s a local restaurant.
On both trips, excellent local tour guides provided tours of local attractions and highlights. It’s absolutely amazing the amount of things you get to see and experience on these tours. I also appreciated having tons of free time to explore on my own. The prices at Comfort Tour are reasonable compared to other tour companies with similar tours. Customer service from Kim and Al are always excellent. I have gone on four trips with Comfort Tour with a fifth booked for Washington. My special requests are always responded to in literally a matter of minutes and bookings responded to immediately. Finally, as a sole traveler I appreciate that the single supplement is only $100 compared to several hundred with other companies. My only suggestion as I have heard from fellow travelers is that it would be nice if the tours were one day longer. Keep up the great work!

Hi Julie,
I've been meaning to send you a note of thanks for our wonderful tour to Frankenmuth, MI.
Such a pleasant and lovely town, I would definitely like to visit again sometime.
If Comfort Tours continues with this destination for future tours I thought I would share a few things from my experience in the town that may help other travelers.
The dates we visited:
Apparently the weekend we toured (Dec 2-4) was a busy one. We learned from locals that during our weekend Santa was in town (a big deal in Frankenmuth) and was also at the Bavarian Lodge, along with the owners - this is probably why the rooms were sold out and why there were larger than normal lineups for some of the popular attractions and events in town.
Horse & Buggy:
This seems to be very popular and a recommendation is to make a reservation ahead of time. Unfortunately, by the time we realized this the only options were too late in the evening for us. Perhaps make your reservation for the horse & buggy and then go to Zehnder's.
Zehnder's:
Another popular place. We went early on the Saturday, around 4:00ish thinking we would beat the dinner crowd. This was not the case. This is where the locals in the line with us told us that this was a particularly busy weekend. We waited in the line for 45 minutes just to put our name on the list and they were not taking reservations. Once we got to the head of the line we were told it would take another 40 minutes. In actual fact, luckily, we only waited an additional 15 minutes.
This is a wonderful restaurant and experience if you are a family or in a group due to the family style dinners they serve. It was just Nancy and I that attended so we did not order the family style meal but instead ordered entrees off the menu. We were a bit disappointed with the entrees, a bit pricey for what we received. The food was good though and all selections did come with the multiple appetizers, same as what comes with the family style dinners - we found we had way too much food for two people by way of the appetizers (which we didn't realize were part of our order). Again, it is best if you plan to go in a group or groups of 4 - like we did at Cracker Barrel.
Bus as a shuttle:
This was a great idea! Something to consider would be expanding the shuttle to run a bit further past Bronner's Christmas store to the area where the antique shops are.
All in all, I had a wonderful tour and would definitely go again.
You and John are awesome - I hope to travel again with you in the future.
All the best wishes to you over the holidays and in 2023!
