hey guys...
I'm looking to stay in NY for at least a week after the tour, as well as the hotels, I have looked at staying at the "Big Apple Hostel" apparently its good. Not bad prices for the week, either.

Jax- did you mean the 13th of Feb? Cause 13th of Jan would mean only two extra days ontop of the tour...

I can only stay to the 13rd of Jan, due to annual leave. But 2 days in NY should be fine

You guys staying in NYC after the tour?

When does our tour's meet up?


Hi, Michelle!
My friend and I are doing this tour, and we have also added the New York Explorer onto the GS. It starts the day after the GS ends so if you want to stay back in New York you should maybe do that?
