Great time that we spent on the tour with this agency helping us with everything. We could not find the location because we do not live in USA but GoldenBus made sure that we reach to our location timely and safe. My two kids had amazing fun and no time was boring. It's worth every single penny that you spend on the tour itself and the admissions. Guide was very helpful and professional. Totally recommended it to everyone.
Farrah Stamps
In general, this tour n was, really, superior to anything I would have anticipated. Booking the tour was very basic, but the coordination among the visit guides and the individuals who work in the background was incredible. Even though it had a lot of activities to do, we still had free time to do our own activities.Many worth taking pictures spot. The hotels were also appropriate. A certain reasonable tour.
John Arellano
The tour was incredible. Our guide and driver completed an awesome activity. The visit structure was additionally great. In spite of the fact that the transport ride hours were long in some piece of the journey in this multi day trip, our guide and driver gave their best to guarantee that we have a decent trip. Guide's commentary is fantastic, the accommodation and positive vibes that he depicted is superb.

I only put 4 stars because there\'s always room for improvement, even though the tour was awesome! We had used GoldenBusTours before for our trip to San Francisco , so we sort of knew what to expect. This is certainly not a luxury trip, but you\'ll get to see a lot in a short period of time.
