We are very fortunate to board this bus and it was very clean. I appreciate the maintenance level and lucky we were to have a best driver and an excellent Tour guide. The places we visited were exceptionally beautiful and so we wish always to get such nice driver and guide always. This was a gift to me from my brother for my birthday and I agree he gave it to me with full heart as everything on this tour made me happy. I will try to be in the same bus for another trip and now give 5 stars.
Cong
Loved everything in this tour and we got to visit - Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and all the places surpassed my expectations. Our tour guide, was very smart, good looking and knowledgeable, besides being very friendly. If you are a nature lover and enjoy having fun, do not miss this tour. The places we visited were amazing spots and the best to take photographs. A worth tour and the money spent is useful on such a tour. The tour guide and his friendly attitude went well with the polite behavior of the driver. This made the tour to be exceptional in all the manners.
Mann Preet
I boarded this tour on my birthday and this was the best decision I ever made. Our tour guide, Lora was so nice. My favorite spot in the tour would definitely be the Zion National Park, it was beautiful and everything natural. It was English only tour. So, it had breakfast included. At first I thought it as an expensive deals but when you look at attractions included it seems to be an interesting deal.
Don
The best tour i had in many years. Great service and hospitality, tour guide is an amazing person, really helpful and friendly, yet very professional at the same time. both accommodation and transportation are really luxurious. We saw a lot of nice places for the first time like San Francisco, Bay Cruise, Zion National Park, Las Vegas, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park, Modesto, Solvang, Silicon Valley, and Santa Barbara. That is one of the best travel agencies i have dealt with.
Lakshit
We had trouble in this bus traveling and it was not as we expected, yet we had lots of fun. I was satisfied on seeing the breathtaking beautiful places the Yosemite Park, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and many more. The hotel accommodation was good, but my door was next to the elevator and so until mid night I had to listen to the elevator moving up and down. I requested for another room, but the hotel was full and so I had to go with the same. The dinner and breakfast was the best. For lunch we stopped in lovely places and got to eat new dishes.
Chenric
We were disappointed as we got the seat just above the tires and so we had to take the continuous bumps on our back. But for it the tour covered Solvang, the Santa Barbara that we were wishing to see. In fact, the other places such as the Bay cruise, Zion park were also beautiful. Yes it was an awesome tour as the guide was professional and the driver was strict to his driving rules. The travel for 7 days would have been nice if the guide was friendly, but he was not. The hotels were comfortable, but a bit outdated. Anyway it gave to view Lake Powell.
Santiago
In my opinion this was one of the best travel agencies i have dealt with, The tour was really very well organized, there was no delay and we were always on schedule. also the tour guide was really nice guy and funny, and he were also very professional and he spoke an excellent Spanish, which was extremely important for my parents. The bus was great and hotels were even greater. an Francisco, Bay Cruise, Zion National Park, Las Vegas, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park, Modesto, Solvang, Silicon Valley, and Santa Barbara. Amazing experience.
