Our tour guides were incredibly annoying and one of them, a guy, was the worst. His idea of \"being funny\" is just calling random people out and harassing them, when clearly we just want to relax and enjoy the experience (or at least I did). He kept screaming and yelling at me and at one point I really wanted to exit the bus. Another couple already did this and caused a scene (I loved it - should have followed).

The best thing we loved about that tour is the tour guide. Our tour guide was really a great guy. He was very helpful and very professional yet so friendly and funny at the same time. Our bus was clean and comfortable though there was no bathroom available so we had to stop for breaks, the hotels were really clean and comfortable. I really would like to thank Golden bus tours for organizing that tour , it was a great 5 day vacation for us.

I just completed a 4 day Golden Tour. The driver Lin and tour guide Mike did an exceptional job very kind and patient. My complaint is that Golden tours have added on tours you can purchase that should be free and part of the tour. They are basically double dipping as the bus makes a stop at a certain destination and you have to pay to see or enter. Example::: $17.00 was charged for entire bus to enter National Park but Golden tours charged each person an additional $25.00 per person fee to see the falls. I can understand the entrance fee charge to a museum or ferry tickets but not a profit price. Just charge more up front and have all the extras included. Over all not enough time in some locations . Still enjoyable.
