This is the perfect family vacation to get some of the highlights of America has to offer. But.. I think I should do everyone a positive favor about getting into a little depth of my nice little 7day trip. Our tour guide and the driver wer..e very excellent through out the vacation. Bus driver drove fast and hard, the tour guide was very accommadating with seating and waiting for late passengers. There was a lot of long stretches on the road so I'd suggest to bring a neckrest or pillow with you. The bus would make stops every 2.5 hours or so and they would play some videos to break up the long drives but be warned there are only 4 small t.v's spreaded around with bad audio. The sights you get to see are unforgettable and are totally worth the uncomfortableness. Balance Rock, Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone Park, Grand Teton were all very majestic. They are all off my personal travel checklist thanks to this tour.
Now what got me about the trip was the extra $40 a person and extra $7 a day a person fee's for park entrances and tour guide/bus driver fees. They provide that information in the confirmation and all but I overlooked it. I thought I'd mention it in my review because the people on my bus were also surprised. I had a family of 3 so you can do the math.. I just wished the tour group had provided that info more clearly and just added it to the advertised price from the start. But whatever expense total I have was worth the trip.
Last words... All hotels provided were good enough, you'll need to have your WATER and snacks prepared, get used to a lot of junk food on the road, bring a book or ipod, and take a lot of pictures!

We are 6 in a family and enjoyed so much , but our bus going to Colorado stop and not running for almost 3 hours, Our Tour Guide is very accomodating and helping all passengers . The 7 days tour went well and we are all very happy to see al..most 9 states in just 7 days. We will go back and tour in another city next year. Read full review
My wife and I had a great time on this tour. Larry is a great tour guide and Kevin our driver got us around safely and quickly. Would recommend this tour to anyone.
We took the June18-24 Mt.Rushmore/Yellowstone Package....for tje most part it was excellent. One hotel the (Franklin Hotel) had a gorgeous entryway but the rooms need to be updated like the front and entryway. Larry and our driver did an ..excellent job. There are always going to be some on a tour bus that are rude and don't know how to wait their turn. We thoroughly appreciate Larry's efforts to help us see even more than was in the tour brochure. Yellowstone was our favorite then Mt. Rushmore/Crazy Horse and the Tetons were beautiful. You could leave out the downtown tour of Denver and skip the Temple Square tour and Great Salt Lake and shift more time in Yellowstone and more time in Jackson Hole. Arches was very different too! Would also have like a more scenic stop in Vail and the Rockies heading back to the Denver airport. But for the most part an excellent vacation - first time we've done the bus tour thing. Thank you Larry for getting the king size bed for us also! One last suggestion, all of the tour companies need to communicate with Larry better - he had no idea where we were in the Denver Airport and we were where our e-mail told us to be along with 4 other people. So tour companies communicate with Larry better so people aren't waiting needlessly in the airport. Thank goodness for cell phones! Read full review
We have seen a lot of interesting sites in those 7 days (May 14 to 20, 2011). Our guide Allen was very informative and helpful. Price is excellent for the quality. The only issue was with the bus. It broke 3 times during that trip and d..ue to those problems, we arrived late at our hotel (9:30 p.m.@@plush;). I would suggest that maintenance is done more often on those buses.Read full review

Packed itinerary everyday! We saw a lot of sites & learned a lot! Bus was very clean and comfortable, we watched movies/videos on the long drives. Hotels were clean/comfortable and lots of great, fun places to eat. We stopped at local g..rocery stores for snacks & drinks to bring along. Overall, a GREAT trip!Read full review

This is basically my 2nd tour with Tour4Fun. If you are on a budget, wanna visit lots of places in a short period of time and don't mind a bit of exercise (walking), this tour is for you. We managed to cover 8 or 9 states in 7 days which is.. pretty impressive plus Yellowstone was one of my childhood dream.
And with the affordable pricing and compact schedule, Tour4Fun made my dream come true... a big thank you. And my tour guide spoke 3 languages.... English is one of them. So to all the english speaking friends... you are covered.Read full review
Our 7 day tour from Denver to Yellowstone was excellent. Our tour guide Larry was informative and patient with our tour group. Our driver Mauricio made sure we arrived safe wherever we went for the day and on time. Both were very courteo..us and went beyond the scope of customer service.
The trip was awesome for the price! We will definately go again on another tour with this company! There's no way we could have seen 6 states and all their beauty driving our own vehicle.Read full review
Great tour! A lot of places visited in 7 days. Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Arches are amazing!
The tour was very well organized with a good ratio between visit and free time. The guide (Larry) was excellent.
Our Tour Guide and Driver were EXCELLENT. However, i do have a few comments about the tour itself. I should be more clear about what tours are "optional" and which are not. Having to be told that additional fees are required once to tour.. begins is annoying to say the least. The reason for the "Fair" rating on the hotels is that the last 2 hotels on our tour were unclean to say the least. There were stains on EVERY surface along with bugs and smells.Read full review

This was a great tour - very full on at times, but as someone who has a really bad back, I only missed a few things in Yellowstone, and for all the other highlights the bus was able to drop us off right where we needed to be.
My only disap..pointment was that we did not stay in Deadwood, but in Lead. Having said that the accommodation in Lead was excellent. The bus driver and tour guide were both great and everyone had a great time.

This was my second tour with tours4fun. This time I traveled with my 19 and 21 year old children... AND WE LOVED IT! The beauty of the national parks and monuments, cities, and the prairies, mountains, and deserts were just breathtaking. Ou..r knowledgeable, humorous tour guide Harry and bus driver Scott, only added to this wonderful experience. Thank you Harry, Scott, and all my new friends from the bus for this unforgettable experience.

I left out of Las Vegas. The bus ride was a bit long at times, but they played movies, etc. to break it up. Seeing all those sights in one trip was amazing, Arches National Park. Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Mormon Church, Utah C..apital building, Copper Mine 3/4 mile deep and 3 miles wide that can be seen from orbit, Grand Tetons, the great Salt Lake, etc. Lots of sights. Most of the hotels had no bar or restaurant, but there were always restaurants nearby and I brought a bottle with me which came in handy if no bars nearby, like in Utah.Read full review
2300 miles of incredible landscapes, dynamic vistas, nice folks, laughs and companionship with friends I had not met. An incredible tour for the money, our tour guide, Harry and bus drivers Chris and Joe were personable, knowledgeable and ..professional throughout the week. A dream come true trip for me and I am so pleased I was able to travel with Tours4Fun. Look forward to my next trip.Read full review
