I joined this tour in the month of April because in June July it is very crowded there. The whole trip was absolutely amazing. We have a good enough time to explore the unforgettable beauty of Yellow National Park. It is such a beautiful and amazing place. The second and third day of the tour was quite busy but we were able to see many amazing sites so for me it was worth it. The tour guide was helpful and understanding to everyone. I must recommend joining this tour as it is the one of the best places to see with your family. The bus tour company did a wonderful job in all aspects thanks.
Aiguo
The golden bus tours are a good tour operator. They have friendly staff and there is no trouble in taking their bus for tours. Even traveling alone is not a problem. The bus is rightly maintained and the accommodation is also good.
Inaaya
Gorgeous views, wonderful tour and amazing places. We enjoyed the true beauty of nature. I especially planned this tour for my kids and they liked the trip very much. The trip was very nice and planned suitably to cover the areas mentioned in the schedule. It was a decent tour. We were also taken to great food places. I suggest improving the condition of busses. We loved and enjoyed every bit of this tour. Good days…
Yi Shao
I would definitely recommend this Tour to family, friends, and all parties reading this review since the tour included large glacial lakes, various waterfalls, national parks, and mountains. A great tour to \"Get Away from the hustle and bustle of city living.\"
Ruben Vinogradoff
Great program!! Our family enjoyed the 5-Day Yellowstone National Park, Utah State Capitol and Grand Teton View Tour from Salt Lake City. The program is good, driver is professional..Perfect and helpful customer service team. Thanks GoldenBusTours.
Alex Chamberlain
My experience started with a few bumps in the road when GoldenBusTours and the direct agency had some kind of glitch or mistake in my departure date that I found out about on my own. However, the direct travel agency was able to settle the issue adequately through a partial refund due to the close date of departure and error on their part to accommodate lodging for prior-to-departure days with little time available. After that, all this problem was forgotten as we headed to the Yellowstone with an awesome guide and driver in a brand new bus for the 5-day Yellowstone National Park, Utah State Capitol and Grand Teton Tour
