I was in double minds to go to Las Vegas as I was accompanied by my two teenage daughters and a son. But, I was left with no other option and I had to escort them. Golden bus tours were a 5 day tour and so we packed our bags. After visiting Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam and many other states in the United States, I felt more than glad for me to join this bus tour. It works out to be better than traveling and spending at our own expenses.
Angel
Grand Canyon visit was on the list for many years and this time it was done. We both sisters planned a lot and always failed to make it as we get engulfed with family bonds and needs. This time we did it, but the bus seats were hard. Anyway, we forgot all that and make our tour the best time.
Ceneric
I booked this tour package with Golden bus tours and I was quite amazed with their service. The schedule was magnificently arranged and they took us to fascinating places. We had a truly wonderful boat ride to view the Grand Canyon and Monterey Bay. San Francisco was absolutely amazing city. Definitely a 10/10 trip
