I and my husband booked this tour. My husband is more interested in scenic and natural views and I want to visit big cities and fun places. This tour was experimental for us and it was lovely. We had a great time. The tour plan was amazing and covered beautiful places. I will give high rank to Yosemite Park and San Diego. Mr. Lee was a great guide, he made this tour very interesting and inspiring for us. He was good at telling jokes.
Aaradhya
This was my second experience with this bus tour. My first e experience was quite good that’s why decided to experience it again. I found San Francisco City Tour quite interesting for me. Too much places in a single day and all were worth to visit. We spent adequate time there. Lobster Bay and Ensenada were the best of this tour. It was a lovely experience. The food was amazing throughout the tour but I never forget the Lobster meal at bay. It was very fresh, tasty and mouthwatering. The guide was up-to-date and managed the tour perfectly. Highly recommended.
