I wish the tour had schedule to show Seattle also because a lot of people came to see Seattle and when tour title says from Seattle it seems that Seattle is included but it was not. Hotel breakfasts were really good and if you are lucky you will travel with a group who I traveled with- very nice group.
Dana Krylova
The last hotel we stayed at was not good at all. It was hotel Compabeni or something like that. The tub was too high so we had to use a chair to get in and out. And there was no hair dryer ,no elevator. Other than that, it was an awesome tour. Very good and nice driver and tour coach.
Sonya
Golden Bus Tours is really an amazing company, it was my first tour with Golden Bus Tours and i really intend to do it again. Great organization and punctuality, really nice and helpful tour guide who deserved his daily tip for sure, and very comfortable cozy and clean hotels. In my opinion this was one of the best tour companies. I just wish id admissions and food were included, that would have been really amazing.
Jackie
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.
Lynn

Kumar
One of the things i really liked about that tour was the Complimentary Airport pick up and drop off service. Next best thing was the accommodation, though our hotels were not 5 stars, but they were very clean and comfortable hotels. The organization of the our was amazing, there was no delay at all and our tour guide was very professional guy. we enjoyed a lot Yellowstone National Park, Seattle Night Tour.
Yu Jie Ch\'ien
There were travelers on the tour who did not stay for the full 5 days, and spent additional time in Seattle by themselves. This is an option if you would like to stay longer and explore on your own. There is limited time at each place due to the travel time between cities. The hotels were 3 to 4 stars, and were very comfortable.
Ruby Seppelt
This was my first experience with GoldenBusTours and found that this tour was well organized and budget friendly. I really enjoyed going to all the places. There is a lot of travel time on the bus since there are many places to cover within the 5 days. I recommend this tour if you would like to see many places and do not have the time to travel by yourself.
Harry Brooks
There were a few times when we would have liked an extra day in certain places as well as getting into the sea but all in all it was a fantastic and well planned out trip. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see most of West Coast. Comfortable shoes and lots of water are a must if you get the gorgeous weather we had. Our compliments to GoldenBusTours for their amazing itinerary.
