Our kids booked this tour for us. We visited the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Las Vegas and much more. We spent a memorable time there. We have enough time to visit the attractions. Hotel stay was basic but the rooms provided were of good quality and the bus was very good and the seats were comfortable. Special thanks to Mr. L who take extra care of us and guide us properly with responsibility. We are happy with this tour and must recommend to others. 5 days are well spent!

Great trip, and a highly recommended one, if you want to take your family to across SF. Not only it is super economical, it is also very engaging, and exciting. Me and my family enjoyed this to the maximum. Loved every bit of it!

It was a striking experience to join this bus tour. There is no best time to visit Yosemite park and M and M factory. I shop a lot for my kids because of the best-discounted prices. In the end, it increases the number of my luggage bag. Tour guide helps atoll during the whole tour. Hotel stay has been just basic and bus condition needs improvement.

The tour was well planned, and we were told everything in detail. There were no surprises, and glitches in the tour as well. Our tour guide was good,helping, and he knew everything about the places we were visiting. The only problem was the accommodation. It was not upto the mark, and I think we could’ve gotten better than we had, given the fee paid. Other than that, it was top notch.
