Our tour guide knew a lot about the best stops and views during our tour. He also has a great knowledge of the US history, geography, wild animals, National Parks, and also the world. Our bus driver, the Captain, made our trip very pleasant, safe, and always on time.
Abbey Nobbs
The schedule is pretty busy, we usually stay busy visiting the places and on the road for about 6-7 hour a day, but it is completely worth because the hotels are great and the places we visited are extremely beautiful. I really recommend this tour if you are very interested in the outdoors and nature, and I am already missing all those places!
Lily Voronova
Communication prior to tour commencement was very poor and till last moment we were worried whether we had taken right decision to join this tour. but once started the tour was fast paced and satisfying. The tour itinerary is very hectic but it covers huge number of attractions that too at a very competitive price hence i highly recommend this tour. we had booked the tour thru GoldenBusTOURS USA b.

Overall tour is very good but considering travel time in bus it is recommended that leg space in seating area should be enhanced for comfort. This was an excellent tour, highly recommended. Thanks GoldenBusTours.

The tour guide was a wonderful and informative tour guide with a good sense of humor as well. The other participants were friendly and respectful. The hotels we stayed at were very comfortable, most had exercise rooms and pools, which were great to have.
