Well, as we roamed around the California’s Coastline and through the Santa Barbara, it brought a lot of memories to my head, and yet, I started enjoying even more, plus the tour guide on the bus was friendly and very intelligent person who had been a great assistance throughout our course of the trip. Just loved the Yosemite National Park and San Francisco City!

I would not say that our touring group entirely had an excellent time on board. But, it was fun seeing the San Francisco city for the first time and the places we discovered like the 17-Mile Drive and the journey through the Santa Barbara city. We decided to take the cruising boats from the Bay Area, and believe me, that was pretty enjoyable, as well as unforgettable. Good Experience!

to be honest, my family and I have never to California, since it’s very long distanced from Houston and all that. However, we took this bus tour from Los Angeles just to see how California pleasures us. Thanks to the holiday discounts which I absolutely appreciate along with the amazing tour services. the time we spent at the Napa Valley winery, and visiting the San Francisco was the best, including the bay cruise which helped us get around the town in a better way. Anyways, I couldn’t imagine any better and luxurious bus tour than this. Absolutely a wonderful experience!

Back in the days Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco used to have the best dine in options which truly delivered in providing the quality food, and now those fancy business has taken over. Just as we boarded the Bay Area Cruise, the fun began and we wander around Alcatraz Island enjoyed the stunning views of skylines on the waters, and so on. The trip could have been more relishing if we visited more places like the 17-Mile and Yosemite National Park.

it was quite easy for us to join the bus tour from Los Angeles. It was good to see around the Santa Barbara town, plus the views of the coastline were charming. On our final day, the Yosemite National Park tour just had us all fascinated by its magnificent sites. Also, to mention, we stayed in great hotels and traveled on fine buses. Cheers.

I have never taken any bus tours or even travel far on the buses full of people. Last month, I happened to take this tour, and I would like to share few things which I like and I don’t like. First, they took us to great places and they kept a very good behavior towards all the passengers, as the days goby, the started to care less about the passengers on board. However, our destinations on the schedule were the really great like Yosemite, Castello di Amoroso, Chinatown, and so on. The thing which I don’t like was its additional charges for entrance and similar, plus the food cost and hotel cost us a lot already. Cheers to the great team!

I am really thankful to one friend of mine who recommended Golden Bus Tours to me. It is really an amazing company, their services are wonderful and their customer service team are very helpful and patient. Also the organization of the tour was really great. we moved exactly on time according to the schedule that was given to us by the tour guide, who was a really nice and helpful guy. Great job Golden Bus Tours.
