This is a horrible travel company. Was taking a school trip for 3 days to Pennsylvania and our bus broke down 3 different times on the trip. We had to squeeze 100 people from our bus onto the other two (defiantly illegal). Just spend the extra $10 and buy a Greyhound bus. https://www.greyhound.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=sea-brand&utm_campaign=5236517146.16613938020_134726614796.638914127438_kwd-100331519_9003509__&utm_term=greyhound%20bus&utm_content=us-com.greyhound&gad=1&gbraid=0AAAAADs4aNwJndUmwh-9p8sZDFcj1TPCN&gclid=Cj0KCQjw98ujBhCgARIsAD7QeAibUpRL1f1gvkC6IR-XleOhNYVcVCLxJZO46uAPkFE2t-mDbL1V0NoaAhuQEALw_wcB

Too many people

Horrible company. My school used three buses from Wade for a 4 day trip and one of the buses broke down three times during the trip, forcing us to cram everyone onto two buses (people were standing and sitting in the aisles) and move our luggage over to the other buses on the side of a busy and dangerous interstate. Other companies may be more expensive but with Wade you get what you pay for. On a positive note I did get more time to bond with my friends but this was at the expense of my sanity as I spent a total of 4 hours stuck on the side of highways.

Terrible trip. Bus broke down 3 times, had to pack 3 buses worth of people onto 2. People were forced to sit in the aisle, three to a seat, and in the overhead. Terrible experience with this company.

This was the absolute worst charter bus experience I have ever had. I would like to give a quick shoutout to the drive Ezekiel, he is the best bust driver we have ever had, he and he alone deserves 5 stars. Back to the busses, our guy Ezekiel kept ours nice and clean and in tip top shape (especially the bathroom) I cannot however say the same for the other 2 busses in our convoy. Bus number 3 especially seemed to have a tendency to break down on the side of the highway, leading to 50 student and luggage/instruments (music trip) to need to be evacuated on the side of the highway and board a new bus. This was accomplished by squeezing way too many people onto one bus, with 3 people in 2 seats and some people sitting on the ground. This trip was not cheap, and we expected better.

Horrible experience with this transportation company. The same bus broke down 3 times and had students doing labor work to move to another bus. It could have been worse reason why I am giving this a 2 star; but still pretty crappy service.

Bus broke down 3 times. If you care about your safety, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

We had a two hour delay on the first day of our Hershey park trip the second day our bus broke down a a second time and we waited about another hour and a half to two hours today we broke down on the side of the freeway for about an hour and a half. So in conclusion I wouldn't recommend wade tours to any school or group looking to actually get to and from there destination in the scheduled time. The only good thing about this trip with wade tours was our driver Larry he did the most he could to help us at every moment so if u do choose to travel with wade tours at least ask for Larry very friendly and welcoming attitude always no matter how many times our third bud broke down.

the same bus broke down three times, adding a bunch of hours to our trip and making us miss a lot of plans, and we had to cram over a hundred people into the other two buses. 3.5 thumbs down

Terrible company, if you have the ability to read this review and choose a different charter bus company, you should do that. They were an hour late for initial pickup, and chronically late through our 4 day stay in Boston. The day of departure, the bus breaks down and they tell us they're sending another bus to pick us up, adding on 3 extra hours. The bus gets here, but instead of letting us board an departing, more hours were devoted to seeing if the new bus driver could fix the BROKEN bus and we're stuck waiting for hours and hours with dozens of other people in the hotel lobby because we've already checked out. Seriously? Talk about customer service. Oh, by the way, if they're late or delayed, and you call them to see what's wrong, you're not getting a response back. You're just gonna have to wait and pray that they're not *too* late (which they will be). If you use this company, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Bus driver (at least the one we got that subbed after stopping at Albany) was nice though, but that doesn't negate all the negative stuff about them.

Diamond Tours hired this bus company to bring us from Newark, NJ to Niagara Fall, Canada. This is not the kind of bus you want to use for a 6 1/2 hour trip. Went on a bus ride to Montreal, Canada those seats were so plush. Jim the bus driver was very friendly and knowledge of touring throughout Canada. Unfortunately Jim had to leave us in Albany, NY where we had to get another bus driver. I'll call him Mister. Mister did not even introduce himself to us, just sat in the seat and drove the rest of the distance to Newark, NJ. When Mister finally pulled into our destination he wouldn't even turn on the interior lights so we could gather our belongs. smdh. This is a local casino bus, not for long destinations. Oh by the way it took us 12 hours to get home. smdh

Diamond Tours used this bus company to travel from Newark, NJ to Niagra Falls, Canada. Was not the proper bus to use for 6 1/2 hours to travel there. Seats were very uncomfortable. My seat was broken, would not lay all the way back. It was good for travelling around Canada. Coming home it took us 12 hrs. I kid you not. Jim who was our regular bus driver throughout the tour was to go back to Albany where we had to switch driver. The new driver was not professional at all. He didn't even introduce himself to us. Just got in the seat and drove us. Common courtesy he should have introduce himself. didn't say a work. All I can say if you use Diamond Tours for any outing making sure they do not hire Wade Bus Company.

Diamond Tours hired this tour bus company to take us from Newark, NJ to St. Catherines, Ontario. 9 hours bus ride going to and 12 hours to get back. Why?? I'm still trying to figure it out. Had to change drivers coming back. First driver was Jim. He was fantastic. He was very knowledgable of the areas, Niagra Falls, Toronto, Niagra on the Lake. Awesome job Jim. Once he left us in Albany, second driver boarded. Did not even introduce himself to the group. Just boarded the bus and that was it. Didn't even turn on the interior lights when we departed. These buses are outdated. Need to update seats. Never again.

• Destination: The Bronx Zoo, 2300 Southern Blvd, The Bronx, NY
• Cost: $115. Adult / $100. Senior / $85. Child / $70. Transportation Only

Bronx Zoo - May 5, 2024

The Bronx Zoo, the Wildlife Conservation Society’s flagship park, opened on November 8, 1899. Since then, the zoo has created a unique window into the natural world for city dwellers in the heart of the Bronx - and serves as a springboard and hub for conservation efforts across the entire planet.

The animals and exhibits at the Bronx Zoo span the globe and include tiny toads from Tanzania and big cats from the Russian Far East. With more than 700 species, the zoo is the perfect place to inspire animal lovers of all ages. Part of their mission is to connect visitors to wildlife and inspire them to join our conservation work. Scientists at the Bronx Zoo, and the Wildlife Conservation Society's four other zoos and aquarium, are working to protect the future of all species and the places they call home. Much of this work has recently been featured on the Animal Planet docuseries, THE ZOO, which has provided behind-the-scenes looks into their work like never before.

Through the Wildlife Conservation Society’s five parks, we are able to connect over 4 million visitors a year to impactful messaging on science, nature, and conservation. Across these facilities, we care for more than 17,000 mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. With a leading role in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), WCS sets the standard for animal care, zoological medicine, wildlife conservation, and innovative, naturalistic exhibits.

New York Botanical Gardens - May 5, 2024

Established in 1891, The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) is distinguished by the beauty of its landscape, collections, and gardens, and the scope and excellence of its programs in horticulture, education, and science. NYBG was inspired by an 1888 visit that eminent botanists Nathaniel Lord Britton and his wife, Elizabeth, took to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, near London. The Brittons believed New York should have a great botanical garden to advance public understanding of plants, be a repository of rare and valuable specimens, and lead original research in botanical science.

Today, the 250-acre Garden—the largest in any city in the United States—is a National Historic Landmark. In addition to the natural attributes that attracted the Brittons, NYBG encompasses 50 specialty gardens and collections comprising more than one million plants, the Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections, and the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, the nation’s preeminent Victorian-style glasshouse. Highlights include the award-winning Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden, considered among the world’s most sustainable rose gardens; the Native Plant Garden, celebrating the diversity of northeastern North American plants; and 30,000 distinguished trees, many more than 200 years old. More than one million visitors annually enjoy the grounds, view innovative exhibitions, and participate in educational programs that are larger and more diverse than those of any other garden in the world.

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island - June 2, 2024

Liberty enlightening the world.

"The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World" was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the United States and is recognized as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886.  It was designated as a National Monument in 1924.  Employees of the National Park Service have been caring for the colossal copper statue since 1933.

In May of 2019, Lady Liberty’s legacy expanded with the opening of the Statue of Liberty Museum. Housed within the Statue of Liberty Museum are three interactive galleries that tell the statue's history in thought-provoking ways. Each gallery is designed to inspire visitors. The museum replaced a small exhibition inside the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty and allows millions of visitors to enjoy the Statue of Liberty experience and be inspired by the iconic statue.

Ellis Island afforded them the opportunity to attain the American dream for themselves and their descendants. Come hear their stories.

The 1000 Islands (pronounced “Thousand Islands,” not “One Thousand Islands”) is a sightseer’s paradise and a popular destination for those looking for an authentic outdoor vacation. Located along the peaceful border between northern New York State (USA) and southeastern Ontario (Canada), the 1000 Islands is a region of endless shorelines, rich history and unique culture.

They provide you with local historical facts and folk lore as well as information about the area’s geology, environment, and native wildlife.

As you cruise on the emerald green waters of the mighty St. Lawrence River, you see international ships from all over the world either heading upriver to ports ringing the Great Lakes or heading downriver to the ocean and ports in distant lands. You also see many pleasure boats, from kayaks cruising along the shoreline to high-performance powerboats criss-crossing the main shipping channel. Your tour guide even points out the exact location of the international boundary line between the U.S. and Canada, so be ready to look!

At the end of the cruise, there is the option to disembark at Heart Island to enjoy a self-guided tour of Boldt Castle at an additional admission fee. (Option available when Boldt Castle is open.)
