As a daily working man, i decided to take some time off with my wife to ease off huff and buff of the work. I wasn’t expecting it to be this detailed and exciting; I was expecting more of a regular-bus tour that some agencies offer. These 4 days were magical; we get to see the neon signs hanging from the businesses in Las Vegas streets and visited Grand Canyon. My wife and I had a wonderful time. Cheers GoldenBusTours!
Teha Filip
For some crazy reason, we chose this as part of our honeymoon vacation. Do not. Seeing the Grand Canyon, walking on the Skywalk Glass Bridge and visiting the Ethel M factory was a grand but not romantic experience. The town is too loud and overcrowded, the men all seem to have googly eyes. Let’s just say, don’t believe all those ‘let’s run off and get married in Vegas’ storylines you see in movies. I would definitely recommend Golden Bus and this tour for anybody wanting to have a fast paced, action packed time since they went out of their way to make the experience memorable for us, it just wasn’t the right fit for a warm romantic escapade.
Eduardo
I practise gardening during weekends and it is also my passion, the botanical garden increased my insight plants and trees. I have also collected few seeds which I have planted in my backward and now I have a broad variety of cactus.
Heikki Kankkunen
I took up this package that turned out to be the best one with my family. My kids loved it and so did my husband and I. It seemed like the perfect family trip. The booking experience with Golden bus tours was smooth and everything fell in place. I will recommend this trip to my sister’s family who are planning to go for a family vacation.
Patrick
The skywalk of Canyon with your beloved is the moment that stays in the mind forever. It was the best time of my life when we explored Las Vegas and many others itineraries together.
Eshan
What took it so long for the bus to depart on time on the first day? We already departed an hour late and therefore we reached late Mojave Desert. The tour should follow sharp timing because that is what we are told at which time the bus is going to leave and at which it will arrive. Not a good experience for me although we have been to several places.
Aiguo Bao
This trip exceeded my expectations. Friendly staff, comfortable ride, scenic breathtaking views topped off by exuberant night activities. I am waiting for the 3 month tour package because I wouldn’t mind doing this over and over again.
Taina Pekkanen
I went with my friends for this trip and it was great. The package was affordable and the services including the hotels were amazing. The guide did not seem too good but everything else was great.
Darshit
Memories from this tour will last a lifetime. From pick up to drop off, I along with my two children enjoyed every minute. It was well organized, more than I expected and everything was done in a timely manner, and what a tour guide! I will be recommending this tour to all my friends and family. Andrew, the tour guide is a must. I will be booking for Canada next year and will request to be on the tour with Andrew.
