The tour itself is great, you visit a lot of places in a short space of time. The locations we visited were all fantastic, and it was amazing how many incredible things we saw in just 6 days. Diana is a knowledgeable guide, and very friendl..y and chatty. Keith is a great driver. We were in good hands with both of them.
However, we felt that the tours were very much organised for Chinese travellers, especially when it came to meal breaks where if there was a Chinese buffet it didn't much matter what other choices were available - and often they weren't great. On a couple of occasions it felt like we drove a considerable distance just to find Chinese food, and funnily enough many of the Chinese travellers went off to find pizza!
The hotels we stayed in were of a mixed standard. The first 3 were lovely, we were warned about the one in Yellowstone West, and it was as bad as Diana said. The one in Salt Lake City, was also fairly seedy, although the location was good. Some of the places we stayed were well off the tour route and we found ourselves backtracking miles!
Another couple of niggles were that we were not offered the option of completing the round trip back to Denver, which all the Chinese travellers seemed to know about, but the English speakers didn't. We would have taken that option had it been offered! Flights back from SLC were expensive. And I enquired about staying another night at the hotel in SLC, but was told it wasn't possible. Interestingly the hotel was not that busy and it probably would have been possible. I got the impression that nobody was interested in organising it.
This tour is considerably cheaper than the only other one taking in similar sights and I guess you get what you pay for. I would certainly recommend it, with warnings about the issues I've outlined. It was a great way of covering a lot of ground, seeing a lot of sights, and not having to do the long drives myself.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
It was a tour by chinese and for chinese. Any other person from any other nationality felt forced to stop at all the chinese food joints. No wheel chair support was present and driver was very rude to me and my family.
Great tour with many places visited and covered a lot in the allotted time... adequate time in all attractions... tour guide a real expert in his field looked after Australian passengers with good detail in a chinese dominated bus but that ..was not a problem or meant to be detrimental. Budget tour but you get plenty of value for money... hotels of very good standard and despite early starts to some days was a great trip to take.Read full review
The tour was awesome coz it took us to 9 states in 8 days. So much to see and absorb. Our tour guide Diana was very efficient. High 5s also to Jose for his smooth and safe driving. We will definitely recommend this tour to all our friends a..nd relatives.Read full review
Really nice and informative tour, thanks to Tours4Fun. Would recommend this to my friends, absolutely worth of visiting! Staying overnight in Yellowstone cabin is so interesting.
I was apprehensive when I booked this tour because of all the negative reviews I read, but it was so inexpensive, I decided to book it anyway. I was really surprised when it turned out to be one of the best tours I have been on. One of the ..complains was the number of Chinese tourists on the trip but the tour guide made it very clear to everyone that all persons were to be respectful.My husband was the only non Asian on the trip but he loved it. The itinerary was fantastic, the price unbelievable, the tour guide could not have been better, and the accommodations very acceptable. We had a wonderful time.Read full review
We enjoyed this tour. Just right length of time for a lot of places to see. I recommend this tour, especially to people with limited time but wants to see a lot of places.
