As an old buddy of mine got out of serious and lethal illness. I decided to plan something to welcome him back to the life. I was thinking and searching on the internet, them finally with the grace of God, I found the perfect thing to cheer him up: The bus journey with me of six days. I could see him enjoy and I could see him laugh, I was just making sure that he is having a perfect time of his life. I would appreciate the efforts of the bus agency of trips that they let us all have a good time. We first wander around our home city San Francisco and visited Twin Peaks, Civic Centre, and numerous others. Dolby Theater, Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Knott Berry Farm were really stunning and deserve my full appreciation. Good thing that I got to know that we could book our tours like that with having a stress to plan something. Just board and enjoy with the best kind of service.
Uthkarsh
Knott berry theme park & farm is better than Disneyland. I am just proud that we visited both of them on our days of the trip. The rollercoaster and other rides were just so fun that my words couldn’t even describe properly. LA and SF full exploration tours were also good probably due to the fact the top tourist destination cities with extraordinary fun. We preferred to spend both the nights at Select La Mirada Hotel due to their renowned service of excellence. Other lodging options for our other days were also just fine.
