This tour was full of fun! The places we visited were definately the best places to go on the west side of the U'states. The tour guides were also friendly and always willing to help. However, information given by the tour guide was a littl..e hard to understand or confusing at times. Read full review
I and my wife, aged 62@@plush; undertook package tours of East Coast, West Coast and Orlando. The tours were conducted in good buses with polite and respectful guides. Very good accommodations and daily stress free touring and traveling. Th..e tours are quite economical also and satisfies all the needs of a traveller including those from other countries. I wish Tours4fun all the best and recommend reviewers to book tours with Tours4fun.

Enjoyed the tour with many asian customers and professional guide. The only negative points: we had to stand up around 4am to get the 2nd day to Yosemite, it is a lot of traveling and you have to be aware that you'll likely have to pay addi..tional money (I paid additionally 90$ for tip, Hurst-entrance, city and boat tour, not including food).
The seats are comfortable, there is an emergency-toilet, but this time I had a bus (nr. 238, I think) that was apparently a little bit older and had no emergency exit (e.g. no possibility to exit through the windows).Read full review
My family and I really enjoyed this tour. The sightseeing was great. Solvang was nice. The company did a wonderful job showing many parts of San Francisco and the highlights of the city. Yosemite was a pretty and peaceful place to visit. He..arst Castle was very interesting and informative.Read full review
We would like to give some feedback regarding the tour 7-day tour from LA to Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, San Francisco, tour code USLA2-604. The tour took place from Oct. 20-26 2009. The weekly tour consisted of two parts, guided by two tour g..uides.
We would like to express our gratitude to the second tour guide, Mr. Mark Ma, who took us from LA to Solvang, Hearst Castle, San Francisco and Yosemite national Park. The tour lasted from Oct. 24-26. Mr. Ma is a very professional tour guide, possessing a great deal of knowledge, which he very skillfully presented to the participants of the tour. Mr. Ma is very competent regarding every aspect of the tour: speaking about the history and present situation as well as background information about the sites, showing excellent organizational skills and creating a friendly atmosphere during the whole tour. This includes being of assistance in any necessary way, playing appropriate music which originated from the region and showing nature films about the places visited.
Please give our special thanks to Mr. Ma, who made the tour most enjoyable for us.Read full review
It's more and more difficult to find great hotel discounts to cities I want to visit. So I was very happy to book one of your Los Angeles tours that include hotel accommodations. I had a nice 10 days on the West Coast and the best part of i..t all! IT WAS A GREAT DEAL!Read full review
Traveling with three kids is never easy, but we did it and we had a great time! My husband and I decided it was time to take the kids on vacation for their winter break, so we booked this tour with the theme parks. There was the usual sight..seeing for the adults and fun for the kids. The kids did get fussy on the bus, so I recommend that parents bring snacks and entertainment for the kids on long trips like ours. My youngest enjoyed SeaWorld more than Disneyland, but I think that had something to do with her being afraid of the costumed characters. The drive from location to location sometimes felt long and boring, but it was the best vacation we've taken in years.Read full review
What a fantastic way to spend ten fun-filled days with family and friends by touring these wonderful cities in this tour! I really had a great time, my family absolutely loved Disneyland and I got quite the kick out of the "Indiana Jones Ad..venture" train. My kids loved taking pictures with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. My wife liked Adventure Land very much. Heart Castle was another favourite, and its astonishing collection of art and antiques was wonderful. We all had a good time in San Francisco, and there was so much to do and see. I especially liked seeing the Golden Gate Bridge and Chinatown. Yosemite National Park was very interesting and my wife just loved the waterfalls and being in the middle of nature. I think that by far Las Vegas was my wife's and my favourite destination, we absolutely loved the Masquerade Show in the Sky at the Rio and it was fun to gamble at the slots. My kids couldn't stop talking about the amazing Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam and my wife loved shopping in Barstow. Top it off with Sea World and Universal Studios and WOW! This tour was so much fun for all.Read full review
This tour was a great bargain! What a good price for everything we saw and did, and I even splurged on some of the extra activities that you can partake in. Our guide told us that Solvang means "sunny field" in Danish, and this small villag..e was very fascinating. I enjoyed being in a town, which reminded me of Europe. Hearst Castle was a fantastic palace, we were able to take pictures but without the flash and they came out nicely. I simply loved the castle and its antique architecture; it reminded me of the many castles found in my home country, Scotland. I had always wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge in person, and it is really an impressive feat. I went on the San Francisco Bay Cruise in order to get up close and personal with the bridge. It was spectacular! My wife wishes we had opted for the Fisherman's Wharf though because she really wanted to walk along the pier and try the delicious seafood- but she was glad she came on the cruise with me. We both thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Yosemite National Park and wished we could have stayed more time there- but alas, our trip was over. I will be back though and when I do I would like to do another tour with tours4fun.Read full review
Seeing these places up close is so much better than watching travel shows about them. Visiting San Francisco was a treat for me. I've been aching to see this city for years. The cruise was okay, but I didn't get to see much of Alcatraz beca..use of the fog. The mission at Santa Barbara was beautiful. I couldn't get enough of the ocean view during the drive! Las Vegas was spectacular. I had so much fun window shopping and gambling. I can't wait to go back. Thanks tours4fun for making this one my best trips ever!Read full review
Seeing Hearst Castle from within is a wonderful experience of historic European architectural styles. Its admirable view of the open Pacific Ocean (with seals on the coast) made me wonder how a genius had made art and nature mix in a fasci..nating manner. To top that, the collection of antiques and other elements such as the cinema whose walls were lined with shelves of rare books is quite an amazing sight!Read full review
There really is no city in the United States as charming and as scenic as San Francisco. From the skyline to the Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz Island, there is nowhere like it. The fog over the bay, the cable cars, the sourdough bread, the.. Gridelli Chocolate Factory, Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, Coit Tower, etc., really made the city come alive. The tour was great, the shopping and the sites were beautiful and the restaurants were very nice and welcoming. I simply loved North Beach and the Dungeness crab is delicious! The tour guide was informative and made the tour fun and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend the San Francisco tour to my friends! I love San Francisco and just fall back in love with this city every time I think about it!Read full review
These tours are contracted to some tour operators.
Given below are the pros and cons of the trip.
Pros: You will be able to visit the key places in this trip.
Great value for money.
Cons: You can have chinese food for many oppor..tunities(not sure if this in good/bad side). I do not recommend buy show tickets through the tour guides. It would be better and cheaper if you can do the booking all by yourself before you start on the trip but you want to confirm with Tours4Fun about the exact date in Las Vegas (apparently it is not a fixed date for everyone.) Hotels are sometime boring - If you are a couple you will end up getting double occupancy. Ensure you speak to them before you book the tickets Some of the hotels give you "smoking" rooms - difficult for "Non-Smokers" Hoover Dam is Just "Hi & Bye Hoover Dam" - Don't get to spend more than 15 min. It may be a good photo point. There were other viewpoints better for photo stop. Yosemite was a little waste as we spent a full day in travel to spend 1 hour at Yosemite. The tour guides may not have any control over guests. Some of them were oblivious to the fact that there are 25 other passengers and they take their own sweet time to board the bus. There is no proper breakfast available. Many hotels didn't have a kitchen. The boating trip in Grand Canyon is majorly an eyewash. They just take you few minutes into water. Why we find this funny is because we saw another party going exactly in the opposite direction of our boat. So we are not sure what we missed and we know what they missed. For the one day tours, come prepared in your sports gear because most of the time you will be chasing the tour guide who will be holding a flag high and walking as though he is participating in the 30 mile olympic walking competition. I suggest tell tour guide you would like to spend the time on your own in the theme parks and meet him up at the end of the day. We don't know if the above mentioned "bad" is actually bad but that is the part of the package that you are buying.

Thanks for the great experience. What a way to travel around withtout having to worry about anything. We saw all that we've always wanted to see in California and more. Great tour guide, well planned and the tour was a good mix of the mu..st sees. trip could have been extended a bit more for a more leisurely pace.Read full review
I think no trip to San Francisco is complete without a visit to this great American icon: Golden Gate Bridge!! I did visit it for three times and all three times it was consumed by fog! I'm really happy to see the bridge on a sunny day this.. time! The views all around the bridge are beautiful; the structure is viewable from about half way and is really amazing! It's a free must-see attraction with stunning views of the bay, city, and surrounding area!Read full review
