Ritesh
The best feature on this bus tour offer was the tour guide assistance, such a great tour leader, who had been a great help. Grand Canyon South is like the heaven on earth, especially those viewpoints and trails just helped us explore the best out of Grand Canyon. So glad, we finally toured Arches Park, we have had heard so much about it. Overall our tour experience was extraordinary. Well-managed and a reasonable tour, thumbs up!
Taavi
Well, I needed something quite amazing as this tour for my week off. The tour was fun and we get to learn so much about the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon and other famous parks in Utah State. We had been to countless tourism sites in the country and that gave me a chance for real mind-blowing photography. The Harrah's hotel in Vegas was quite excellent. Thanks for my making my days so fun and entertaining.
Jiuzhou
We were having quite high hopes about a bus trip that they could provide us the quality time through the course of the week. As the time went by, the management also got lazy, on the other hand, our bus stops were entirely the top places such as the Grand Canyon, Canyonland, and so on. the evening time at Moab was super fun, also at the Las Vegas. Thanks for letting us stay in the comfortable hotels. Cheers!
Radley
we departed on this tour in summers. I think I realized on this tour that there is an actual on heaven on Earth probably because the place we visited such as the Lake Powell, Petrified Forest Park, Mesa Verde National Park, and numerous others were wonderful. But the extended self-paid jeep tour at the Upper Antelope was not a good experience. We snapped awesome photographs of the attractions we visited.
Rini
I chose this tour as these were the places I had not visited even once and wished to see it comfortably. The option was the bus tour that took to all the places and ensured we were safe. Had the guide been informative, the tour would have been the best. Yet I recommend.
Banjo
I booked this tour package with Golden bus tours and I was quite amazed with their service. The schedule was magnificently arranged and they took us to fascinating places. During My Tour to San Francisco, I toured the Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Arches National Park, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, Bay Area, Barstow Tangier Outlet and Edwards Air force Base; since I am a student and this was the perfect place for me to visit.
