The tour itself was really great, i just had a couple of issues, first the bathroom on the bus was for emergencies only,so we had to wait for breaks, also i really wish if admissions were included in the tour price. But other than that, we really had a great time, we loved all places we saw and the tour was very well organized. Hotels were really good and the tour guide was real nice guy.

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, Jackson, Grand Teton National Park, Mud Volcano, Yosemite waterfall, the El Capitan, Tunnel View Point, Hayden valley, Fishing Bridge, Yellowstone Lake, Grand Prismatic Spring, Fountain Paint Pot, Morning Glory, Yosemite National Park

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.

This was a tremendous experience for the whole family. We did this 7-Day Salt Lake City to Lake Tahoe, Napa Valley, Bonneville Flats, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Yosemite National Park and San Francisco City Tour last week. Do yourself a favor and book this treat for your family!
