This trip was amazing. I went with my husband for our second anniversary. The facilities were pleasing and the Golden bus tours services were great. I enjoyed most part of the trip. Hotels were perfect. I will recommend it as a perfect honeymoon package.

I really don’t know where to begin from except to say thanks to GoldenBus Tours for arranging such an amazing tour for us. I had the best 10 days of my life touring almost an amazing bunch of places starting from Los Angeles. From the beginning GoldenBus Tours helped us with each and every detail possible. The company’s representative guided us well during the planning and put our reservations and requirements ahead of anything. I’d definitely recommend the company to everybody.

10 days tour, it was nothing short of any school excursion. We colleagues 5 of us had a real get together time. Initially we kept calm and slowly geared up that by the end of the tour we felt sorry that we had to get back home. A fantastic tour!

My first 10 day tour on a bus and I was highly excited and of course my trip was not less exciting. Well taken care of, except for one or two night stay hotels were less than average. These things happen, so just give a negligent eye and the tour was fine.

The busiest people like me get rare opportunities of enjoying with family and friends. This tour has really added many colors to my dull and bored life. I am looking to plan a vacation again with my family.
