“R&J Tours gave me a spectacular vacation and trip of a lifetime to NYC for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.  All the meals and shows were excellent.  I thought the time for scheduled events and free time were properly adequate to see what I wanted to see and do what I wanted to do.  Thanks R&J Tours for making a trip
of a lifetime come true.”                  -Melissa Hansen; Spicer, MN
