The tour was well planned and the timings were good. I like the fact that we are given lots of free time to do our own thing.
Only area to improve perhaps is the bus - the leg room is somewhat cramped and the AV in the bus can certain..ly be better. Those of us sitting at the back of the bus could hardly heard the commentary.
Well done to Mano and our driver for the good work and keeping us all safe.Read full review
My husband and I had a wonderful time! It was our first time to try a bus tour, major props to our tour guide Benny and our bus driver Carlos! They made the trip all the more fun! Hoping to get then next time we avail a bus tour from Tours4..Fun. The hotel accomodations were surprisingly good, considering the tour price, definitely worth it! And the tour view points, beautiful! Not to mention the absence of stress of thinking about the drive, gas, accomodations... Just get on the bus, relax, sight-see, and enjoy!Read full review
Loved it but very tiring because of early starts and late finishes but I guess you have to with how much we covered. Options for food places should be given rather then just Chinese buffet places and McDonald's.
The driver Mary was marvelou..s and good company!Read full review

Buen tour por la cantidad de lugares que se conocen y la belleza de los paisaje.un buen guia y una vonductora muy amable y de buen animo.
Se sugiere mejorar;
-Hotel en salinas, pesima calidad
- hotel en St George.
- planificar mejor el ulti..mo dia.se pierde mucho tiempo en las vegas y se omitio la parada de compras en Barstow.
- el pimer dia es muy desorganizado.se pierde tiempo yendo en los angeles de un sitios a otro y de bus en bus.mientras se organizan todos los tours y se reparte la gente.es posible mejorar est ya que este primer dia no se hace nada de interes.Read full review
1- tour muy completo, se conocen muchos lugares, a pesar de los largos recorridos que se deben hacer.
2- Los hoteles en St. George, muy regular y el otel en Salinas, pesimo,viejo y falto de aseo. Los demas aceptables, pero de categoria muy.. inferior a lo que me ha ofrecido tours4.fun en otros tores que he realizado.
3- Se puede planificar mejor el dia 1, en el que no se hace mucho y se pierde mucho tiempo yendo de sitio a sitio en los angeles y en las vegas, mientras se conforman los grupos de los diferentes tour. Igual el dia final, donde se perdio mucho tiempo en las vegas y no se pudo realizar la parada de compras en los outlets de Barstown.
De resto un tour muy recomendable, formidable recorrido, muy completo, pero que por las largas distancias a recorrer puede resultat pesado para algunas personas.
Muy buen guia y muy amigable nuestra señora conductora.
Atte,

The driver was phenomenal. He got us safely through a traffic detour and was clearly a professional and experienced driver.
The guide was more comfortable speaking Chinese and did no more than necessary to perform his duties and did n..ot seem overly enthused about the venues. He did not have the depth of information about historical sites and was not engaging as far as anecdotes and interesting facts. He would lead the group to a picturesque location and quickly abandon us. He encouraged us to have dinner at certain Chinese buffets, forcing most of the passengers to look for less expensive alternatives. Wakeup calls were generally at 5:30 a.m. and we were on the bus by 6:30 a.m.
It took five hours to get through the Rocky Mountains and although it may have been interesting for the first half hour, the scenery was repetitive and we would have enjoyed a faster ride to Denver.
I wonder if it is possible to explore a one night hotel stay in Yellowstone Park to save time even though it may raise our costs a bit, it would give us more time to enjoy the park. It took 2-1/2 hours to enter the park to view Old Faithful and 2-1/2 hours to exit the park to arrive at our hotel in West Yellowstone. It took 2-1/2 hours to re-enter the park the next day to visit some sites and 2-1/2 hours to exit the park to start our journey to the Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole Wyoming, and Salt Lake City.
I understand the guide and driver’s admonition not to use the toilet, but to keep it locked for eight days and not allow for emergencies was stressful and left us sipping water for fear we will need to go on a different schedule than the 2-1/2 hours between bathroom breaks. When the bus came to a stop, everyone rushed to the front in order to head for the restroom. Women’s lines were always longer. I think tour companies should improve the functionality of bus toilets including the unpleasant smell and disposal of human waste. I have read that some toilets only have a cover, some use formaldehyde solution, and drivers have poured motor oil into the toilet to seal the top. To deny usage based on the driver’s convenience is wrong, especially when it is mentioned on the website as an amenity.
Aim for getting to the hotel between 6 and 7 p.m. We often arrived closer to 9:00 p.m. The on-site restaurants were closed and passengers had to check in and immediately go out to look for mini-marts or fast food restaurants. This left no time to enjoy the amenities of the hotel such as the gym and swimming pool.
Most passengers were tired by the end of the trip but were pleased because of the beautiful venues we visited. Those who started the tour in Los Angeles were able to visit 9 states in 8 days. The weather was beautiful for the entire trip and the cost of the trip was a real bargain.
Please rethink your bathroom policy, alter routes to get us to the hotel between 6 and 7 p.m. and improve the Yellowstone Park experience by considering a one-night stay inside the park. Otherwise, thank you for a truly awesome time. We made some new friends and have many wonderful photos.Read full review
Inconsistent scheduling. You cant eat a descent dinner since you get back to hotels late and no more restaurants open. Trips are more catered to Chinese tourist since lunches are mostly at Chinese buffet places. Also unscheduled stops just ..to please them.Read full review
We enjoyed the tour very much with the one exception that there were at least two too many castles! The rest of the itinerary was great. Our tour guide Andy was cheerful, knowledgeable and helpful, looking up anything that was inquired ab..out, and he kept all his passengers motivated with a "photo competition". The visit to the " Village Through Time" was very good and most interesting, giving a broad background to the rest of the tour. Perhaps more contact with the local people would add some variety, such as a visit to a local Farmers Market or fish markets at fishing village?Read full review
