One of the things i really liked about that tour was the Complimentary Airport pick up and drop off service. Next best thing was the accommodation, though our hotels were not 5 stars, but they were very clean and comfortable hotels. The organization of the our was amazing, there was no delay at all and our tour guide was very professional guy. we enjoyed a lot San Francisco, Berkley University, Lombard Street, City Hall, St. Mary\'s Cathedral, Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Los Angeles, St, George, Las Vegas, Yellowstone Fall, Norris Basin, Yellowstone Canyon

This was my first time on a long span excursion and I completely began to look all starry eyed at everything. The guide went well beyond. She talks familiar chinese, and English. She was excessively useful amid the excursion. I would go to more visits when I get an opportunity. Hotels and suppers were additionally respectable. Absolutely justified, Totally worth it.

My friend and I had an incredible time. It\'s a bit unorganized at the beginning. We saw two buses and no one was giving clear instructions. But once we got on the bus, it was amazing. The guide do a really good job with their jokes. It\'s a unique way to see West Coast Cities.
