The tour was awesome and though I have already visited many of these destinations before however by availing this tourist service things become very easier for me. The bus was very comfortable and the fellow passengers were also great. If I have to pick, then perhaps the two sites which are worth mentioning are universal studios and Grand Canyon. The former was more technological and the latter was natural with each site giving a different type of fascination. The only loop hole in the tour was that I think more time could have been spent on some destinations. I think we were too quick to move on some destinations.

This vacation was excellent as this was my first tour of USA. Since USA is a region with various tourist attractions hence I was confused how I would visit majority of the sites. By availing this tourist service things became very easy for me. Through this service I was able to visit majority of US destinations particularly those in Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas. I really enjoyed the universal studios and for the first time I realized how much art work and effort is required for making a good movie. The second destination which I cannot forget was the Grand Canyon. The site was simply awesome.
