This was perfect two days that allowed us to see the most in a short span. I went with my friends and we enjoyed the entire package. Booking with Golden Bus Tours also was great. My family and I enjoyed the hotels as well.
Allan
We are 2 people not real friends just working together and have a 2 day off, so planned this tour. It is good, but we do not know to speak English, so a bit boring. Rest all fine, tour good.
Vijay
Everything about this tour was brilliant, from reasonable rates to astounding lodging. The schedule was brilliantly arranged as it permitted me to take in the landscape without being raced to the following destination keeping in mind the end goal to experience some skiing down the mountain. Indeed, even the most diminutive of grievances were dealt with by our guide. This trip is definitely for individuals searching for some adrenaline in their lives.
