“As I have traveled with other companies, I have made some mental comparisons. DJ Country Tours is well-organized, hotels were all average or above average and one ELEGANT. Rest breaks were well-spaced and food stops along the trip afforded enough choices.

I have found one large difference traveling with Janine compared to travel with other companies. Janine, not being only employed by DJ, she is the owner and she is the company. Janine has an investment in making a tour successful and enjoyable. She reacts on the spot when changes need to be made, when plans get changed, rest stops are closed, bridges washed out, and any other interruption that inevitably comes about on a trip. Response is timely when the ‘boss is on the bus’. When this happens with other companies it usually meant more time represented to get approval of a change, new direction from the office, etc.

Janine, you are top notch. Thank you for showing us the wonderful states of Vermont and New Hampshire. Thank you for showing your love of  people.”

Ken and Linda Pollock

“The very first day at the very furst stop, I missed a curb and literally face planted on the concrete! I thought I had broken my teeth or worse. Janine was right there showing concern and making me feel calm after being shaken up. I thought for sure I had done real damage to my face or knocked out a tooth but all I had was a few scrapes and a split lip. No broken nose, or teeth missing! Best of all, I didn’t break a nail!

Janine is so much fun to travel with. She is very knowledgeable & organized. She is easy to get to know & we loved hearing her stories. You can just tell she loves her job!

Jeff was a fantastic driver! Very experienced! Great personality and having Tink as a mascot was fun too!

Thank you so much Janine for making our vacation fantastic! We definitely would like to travel with you again someday! 5 stars all the way!”

Wendell Utech and Patricia Thompson

2023 Mackinac Island and Lighthouses

“Great trip! Thank you Janine & Anthony for your work diligence and positive attitudes!

Had a great time!”

2023 Dogwood Blossoms of Branson

“The Dogwood Blossom trip with Janine was my second trip with DJ Country Tours.  Both of the trips I enjoyed to the utmost. Janine is very organized, friendly, and keeps you entertained with activities. She packs the trips with attractions and things to do. I would highly recommend traveling with DJ Country Tours!”

Dunkerton, IA

Duane and Deb Alberts

“This was our first bus trip and first trip to Branson. Didn’t know what to expect. It was above and beyond all expectations. Our hostess Janine did a fantastic job and knew how to roll with the punches. We highly recommend DJ Country Tours. Was also fun meeting new friends.”

Parkersburg, Iowa

Laurie Simpson

“This was my first bus tour and I was pretty amazed on how organized Janine was and all being done with a smile. I would highly recommend DJ Country Tours for anyone interested in a fun tour! “

Cedar Rapids, IA

June Watkins

2023 Door County Summer Fun

“My second bus tour of several days with DJ Country Tours was to Door County, Wisconsin and it was filled with interesting tours. I doubt that I would have seen half of the places we visited if I had planned the trip yself. We also had a local guide with us much of the time who provided interesting information on the sights we were visiting or driving by. The restaurants and provided meals were a great introduction to local fare as well. I love that Janine’s tours are both educational and fun! as well as a good value for the price.”

Stephanie Garner

“I’ve been on several trips with Janine and have always had a great experience. She provides travel experiences that are well planned and reasonably priced. I truly enjoy the way she brings together a group of strangers who become a family and part ways as friends.”

Shirley Clark

2023 Southern Christmas Explosion

“DJ Country Tours by Janine did not disappoint! From the icy start in Waterloo to the foggy trip through the mountains, our tour director and bus driver had it all under control.

The itinerary was very well planned and offered something for everyone each day, yet provided for some free choices.

I wouldn’t hesitate to go on any trip when is planning it!”

Shirley Clark Clarksville, Iowa

Kristi Anderson

“Going on the Southern Christmas Explosion was my first trip with DJ Country Tours, and I had a blast. Everything that was described on the website was delivered with many extras included. Janine was great and took care of everyone! I would recommend DJ Country Tours and cant wait to go on my next one!”

Lisa and Laney Beadle

“ Janine and Jeff we’re so professional, organized and hard working. Our days and evenings were jam-packed. You clearly know when and where to be. You hit highlights of every stop. Janine treats everyone fairly & kindly. We felt very special the entire trip. It was nice meeting so many new people.”

Jeff McMeekin

“ Janine was a very good host and made things fun on the bus and off. She also knows a lot of people at the shows and that was nice. Everyone said that we had the best tour guide and that’s no lie. Although this was my first bus tour, I am going again and will use Janine at DJ Country Tours.”

Nova Scotia Delight Tour

2019 Review

“We enjoyed our tour immensely! Janine is a wonderful tour director and Tim is a wonderful bus driver. They really take care of you. We would be willing to go on any of her bus tours!”

Patty Brandt

“ If you’re looking for a fun time, a well-organized trip, fabulous entertainment with super talented singers and dancers, awesome tour director and bus driver, go on a bus trip to Branson with DJ Country Tours.”

“ Janine and her driver, Anthony went above and beyond to make sure we had everything needed. They were always available, professional, and friendly. The trip was very well planned on every detail. I felt very comfortable and safe the entire trip. Highly recommend DJ Country Tours!”

2023 Christmas in Branson

“ Traveling with Janine who owns DJ Country Tours, is like going on a new adventure with a good, trusted friend who has been there so many times and knows where to go; how to get there; what to say; what to avoid and points out all the best things – so you can RELAX and ENJOY!”

Ruth Yordy Marshalltown

2017 Tale of Two Carolina’s

2017 Review

“Everything was so organized. Janine treated everyone with such respect and concern. Billie is such a good driver. She too was always concerned about everyone. Not many drivers would hold an umbrella over each passenger so they wouldn’t get wet in the rain. We will see you end of October & in January.”

SOUTH AFRICA

South African travel is a booming industry; from the heights of Table Mountain to the bush habitat where the Big 5 reside, across historical caves and craters telling of the ancestors of this continent. Encounter picturesque winding passes and rolling hills, filled with adventures and activities, some of the world’s finest wine farms, and whale watching or scuba diving. South Africa is a country that tells a story of a turbulent past pitted with dramatic battle history, a rainbow of cultures, and a melting pot of languages. This vivacious land has it all blending together like a bright oil painting waiting for your travel to South Africa to be seen.

Home to a third of the world’s antiques, Egypt weaves history and mystery to provide you with a memorable vacation. Claimed as having one of the oldest known civilizations, it boasts the immense Nile River and majestic Pyramids of Giza, the sun-drenched beaches of Hurghada, and the buoyant Red Sea. You can explore, sample the culinary delicacies, dig deeper into history, take an unforgettable Nile cruise, or discover the intrigue of the local culture. Discover how your travel to Egypt can unlock a myriad of adventures.

For an African safari in the origin of safari travel, Kenya offers a world of travel attractions on the East Coast of Africa. The name conjures pictures of grasslands with plumes of dust as the drama of the migration of the wildebeest and zebra through the Masai Mara takes place. Yet, this is not all Kenya has to offer; sandy white beaches to relax on, views from Amboseli National Park of Tanzania’s mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, adventure sports, cultural treasure troves, magnificent landscapes, and list-completing birds and wildlife. Encounter a technicolour experience of travel to Kenya when you book your holiday with us.

Tanzania is a country of vast landscapes, wildlife, national parks, the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro and white sand beaches! It is rated as one of the most enchanting safari destinations in the world and is home to the pristine Serengeti National Park. Located on Africa’s East Coast, it boasts of some of the finest beaches on its shores, and the beautiful islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia off its coast. The cities have a warm, hospitable culture and plenty to explore.

There are endless reasons to visit Rwanda. The proud protector of four national parks, Rwanda is a leader in conservation efforts, preserving its incredible array of fauna and flora. Kigali is considered one of the friendliest capital cities in Africa, and its engaging, charismatic and distinctive ambience is a great complement to your time in nature. For travellers in search of a luxury experience beside tranquil lakes, to those outdoor adventurers who daydream about trekking through dense forests in search of the country’s famous gorillas and chimpanzees – a visit to Rwanda will leave you elated and enlightened. The country is full of promise, wonder and surprise.

Hi mam. Thanks for sharing the feedback. At the very start of the discussion with you regarding the package, your main focus was to cut down the cost of the package in any way and it's not that anything was kept hidden from you. All the Inclusions mentioned in the package that you confirmed were provided by the company. Later on, when your husband came in to the picture and asked for the tours to be added, options were shared with you by our agent but as you know there's nothing that could have been added without incurring any additional cost so you chose not to add anything. I hope there isn't any fault/error from our side. Would look forward to serve you again.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you.

Has remote work changed how people travel in the US?

Press contact :.

Previous image Next image

The prevalence of remote work since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic has significantly changed urban transportation patterns in the U.S., according to new study led by MIT researchers.

The research finds significant variation between the effects of remote work on vehicle miles driven and on mass-transit ridership across the U.S.

“A 1 percent decrease in onsite workers leads to a roughly 1 percent reduction in [automobile] vehicle miles driven, but a 2.3 percent reduction in mass transit ridership,” says Yunhan Zheng SM ’21, PhD ’24, an MIT postdoc who is co-author of a the study.

“This is one of the first studies that identifies the causal effect of remote work on vehicle miles traveled and transit ridership across the U.S.,” adds Jinhua Zhao, an MIT professor and another co-author of the paper.

By accounting for many of the nuances of the issue, across the lower 48 states and the District of Columbia as well as 217 metropolitan areas, the scholars believe they have arrived at a robust conclusion demonstrating the effects of working from home on larger mobility patterns.

The paper, “ Impacts of remote work on vehicle miles traveled and transit ridership in the USA ,” appears today in the journal Nature Cities . The authors are Zheng, a doctoral graduate of MIT’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and a postdoc at the Singapore–MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART); Shenhao Wang PhD ’20, an assistant professor at the University of Florida; Lun Liu, an assistant professor at Peking University; Jim Aloisi, a lecturer in MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning (DUSP); and Zhao, the Professor of Cities and Transportation, founder of the MIT Mobility Initiative, and director of MIT’s JTL Urban Mobility Lab and Transit Lab.

The researchers gathered data on the prevalence of remote work from multiple sources, including Google location data, travel data from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration and the National Transit Database, and the monthly U.S. Survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes (run jointly by Stanford University, the University of Chicago, ITAM, and MIT).

The study reveals significant variation among U.S. states when it comes to how much the rise of remote work has affected mileage driven.

“The impact of a 1 percent change in remote work on the reduction of vehicle miles traveled in New York state is only about one-quarter of that in Texas,” Zheng observes. “There is real variation there.”

At the same time, remote work has had the biggest effect on mass-transit revenues in places with widely used systems, with New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, and Philadelphia making up the top five hardest-hit metro areas.

The overall effect is surprisingly consistent over time, from early 2020 through late 2022.

“In terms of the temporal variation, we found that the effect is quite consistent across our whole study period,” Zheng says. “It’s not just significant in the early stage of the pandemic, when remote work was a necessity for many. The magnitude remains consistent into the later period, when many people have the flexibility to choose where they want to work. We think this may have long-term implications.”

Additionally, the study estimates the impact that still larger numbers of remote workers could have on the environment and mass transit.

“On a national basis, we estimate that a 10 percent decrease in the number of onsite workers compared to prepandemic levels will reduce the annual total vehicle-related CO2 emissions by 191.8 million metric tons,” Wang says.

The study also projects that across the 217 metropolitan areas in the study, a 10 percent decrease in the number of onsite workers, compared to prepandemic levels, would lead to an annual loss of 2.4 billion transit trips and $3.7 billion in fare revenue — equal to roughly 27 percent of the annual transit ridership and fare revenue in 2019.

“The substantial influence of remote work on transit ridership highlights the need for transit agencies to adapt their services accordingly, investing in services tailored to noncommuting trips and implementing more flexible schedules to better accommodate the new demand patterns,” Zhao says.

The research received support from the MIT Energy Initiative; the Barr Foundation; the National Research Foundation, Prime Minister’s Office, Singapore under its Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise program; the Research Opportunity Seed Fund 2023 from the University of Florida; and the Beijing Social Science Foundation.

This Is the No. 1 U.S. City People Want to Move to in 2024 — and It Has the Largest Retirement Community in the World

Hint: it's in the Sunshine State.

Americans are on the move. Over eight million people relocated to a different state in 2022, according to estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau . And a new report by relocation company MoveBuddha sheds more light on where Americans are headed in 2024. Based on customer search data, the company identified the most desirable destinations with the highest migration rates, and a city in the Sunshine State topped the list.

The Villages in Central Florida, known as the largest retirement community in the world, had the highest in-to-out ratio, 4.38, meaning that for every one hundred people who leave the city, another 438 move in.

“The Villages is a racehorse that’s outpacing every other city in the country for growth. Fueled by a ‘silver tsunami,’ this Baby Boomtown has been on the rise for a decade and shows no signs of slowing down in 2024. With baby boomers reaching retirement age through 2031, the Florida destination is poised for even more growth in years to come,” the report stated, noting that the community offers a mix of good weather and activities.

MoveBuddha’s analysis also shows that while housing costs are a consideration, Americans are willing to relocate to a destination where real estate prices are not necessarily the lowest. In The Villages, for example, the median home value is $407,528, which is more than the nation’s average of $347,716.

Another destination popular with senior adults that made it to the top three is Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where over a fifth of the population is aged 65 and over. The oceanfront community ranked third with an in-to-out ratio of 3.22.

However, MoveBuddha noted that cities with bustling art scenes located in natural settings draw the most interest overall. Asheville, North Carolina, for example, which takes the No. 2 spot with an in-to-out ratio of 3.29, is one of them. Similarly, Billings, Montana; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Boulder, Colorado; and Burlington, Vermont; are in the top 10 most desirable places to move to in 2024.

But if you are looking for affordability, the report also points out that five of the 25 winning cities have median home values of under $200,000, and those are Dayton, Ohio; Hartford, Connecticut; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Des Moines, Iowa; and Champaign, Illinois.

Another significant outtake from the report is that Americans are no longer leaving urban areas — a trend that started during the COVID-19 pandemic. People favor mid-size cities of about 200,000 residents, with Boston being the most populous of all on the list.
