Chocolate factory visit being a part of this tour, I took my kids to this tour. Of course, the other places of visit were also equally interesting, but the chocolate factory visit did not give chocolates of new variety to taste, but the visit was excellent. We bought some to enjoy at home with others.

I always wanted to visit Las Vegas and especially Ethel M Chocolate factory and I decided to take golden bus tours deal to visit that place. It turned out to be a thrilling trip. We also explored Hoover Dam, Palm Spring Outlet, Disneyland and Universal Studio on this exciting 8-day tour. I recommend Golden Bus Tours to all those who want travelling at an affordable rate.

I had a little-heated discussion with husband before the tour about the *bus* tour I was worried that I couldn’t fit in for the bus tour, but rather we could have departed on a private car with our kids; though it is expensive. Anyways, I am glad that the tour lets us visit the places like the Grand Canyon, and that M&M factory of chocolates, Skywalk, Fisherman’s wharf, and all the other we toured. For my kids, the Stanford University journey was really helpful because I get to motivate my children to get an admission in a nice renowned university like the Stanford itself. More specifically, the bus tour was just as decent and enjoyable as it should be. Best days!

At least now I know that why we call Las Vegas the entertainment hub of the country. The Night show at the Vegas was fun and exciting, though we were horribly tired but I had to go on the Vegas night journey for my wife and it actually turned to be quite well. I think the tour people need to focus on how they can make the trip better and fun for their guests because everybody on board was looking for some good time. The lodging at the Las Vegas was really good. Basically from the entire tour, I had the best time at the Las Vegas city.
