I recently traveled to Oakland with GoldenBus Tours and I must say this company is amazing. Although I was a bit anxious at the beginning because this is a new company for me and I didn’t know what to expect from them. But I must say they come as good as it can get. I enjoy planning my trips myself but my experience with GoldenBus Tours was great because they didn’t rush me at any time and I was able to enjoy each site at my own pace.
Pritchard
My close friends told me about Redwood National Forest and suggested to pay visit there. It is simply spectacular. All I can say that Oregon Coastline and Redwood Forest make an ideal tour combo in summer.
Quan
It was one of its kind tours to Oakland. I with my brother went on this trip and we certainly do not regret choosing Golden Bus for this trip. It was a thrilling and exciting guided bus tour. We were provided with the detailed tour to each and every place mentioned in itinerary. I have recommended this tour to my friends.
