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
I had a very exciting time on this trip to Universal Studios. It was great to be able to go behind the scenes of some of the most interesting movie and television sets. I loved Water World and my boyfriend couldn't get enough of Terminator ..2:3D- he thought that the special effects were out-of-this-world! My teenage soon just loved Universal's House of Horrors, but I have to say that I preferred Krustyland- the Simpsons Ride. My boyfriend also really like the Revenge of the Mummy ride and the line-ups for the rides went very quickly because we were all so excited! We ate at a very delicious restaurant on the grounds and I loved the great shops, which were found on Universal City Walk. I honestly felt as if there was something for everyone to do at Universal Studios. Our guide was a lot of fun and accompanied single travellers, which I thought was very nice of him.Read full review
My amazing boyfriend surprised me with this tour as a Birthday/Christmas present! I loved every minute in Las Vegas. There was gambling, shopping and touring the Grand Canyon; it was spectacular. The best part's I didn't have to drive. I di..dn't even mind sitting next to strangers on a bus.Read full review
I really can't say enough about this tour! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I had never been on a tour which was set to choreographed music before! I also enjoyed the many interesting facts that were presented as we headed from Las V..egas to the Grand Canyon. I really enjoyed seeing the amazing Hoover Dam and the beautiful Lake Mead. But the best part was being able to get a bird's eye view of the Grand Wash cliffs, Grapevine Mesa and the Black Mountains before setting my sights on the incredible West Rim of the Grand Canyon! I had never seen something so beautiful in my life! The guide was very knowledgeable and the flight itself was an experience I will never forget! Thanks tours4fun for arranging such a great adventure!Read full review
I now know why Disneyland is called "The Happiest Place on Earth"! I really had such a fabulous time on this tour- I am going to tell all my friends to book with tours4fun when I get back to Japan. Our guide was very knowledgeable and frien..dly; he made the trip really one I will always remember. I loved visiting Mickey's Toontown, Splash Mountain and the spinning teacups on the Mad Tea Party Ride! The Disneyland Railroad was also a great way to get from one part of the park to another. I even took my picture with Mickey and Minnie Mouse! Disneyland is not only a place for children although I'm sure they would have a fabulous time as well. I am a 22-year old Japanese woman who had always wanted to see this magical kingdom and I have finally made it! Our tour guide even went on a few rides with me so that I didn't have to go alone. It was a great day that I will always remember.Read full review
My wife and I are from England and joined this tour 2 months ago. We had such a wonderful experience on tour and with your tour company. The guide was punctual and very knowledgeable as well as lots of fun. My wife wishes that there had bee..n more time for her to go souvenir shopping, but overall we had a fabulous excursion and will be back again to do more next year. I enjoyed Grand Teton National Park as well as the world famous Yellowstone National Park. Old Faithful and Mammoth Hot Springs exceeded my expectations and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone Park was very interesting and different from its namesake in Arizona. But, I am very pleased that I had a chance to visit this canyon. The colours of the canyon were very vibrant and made a wonderful backdrop for our many photographs that we took on tour. Salt Lake City was not my cup of tea, but my wife enjoyed the atmosphere of the city and the locals were very friendly.Read full review

We are a retired New Zealand couple who joined 51 mandarin speaking fellow travellers plus a few other "pakeha" people like us on the 4 September 2009 tour. We found them very friendly and great travelling companions and our competent tour ..guide, Harry, gave us an excellent commentary in mandarin and english. I nice modern bus also. We enjoyed everything and the tour was very comprehensive...Crazy horse and Mt Rushmore and the Montana museum were most interesting. Yellowstone is one of the greatest places we have ever visited with diverse, beautiful and awesome scenery. Even though NZ has outstanding scenery and similar thermal areas, Yellowstone was as good. Arches national park was wonderful and a highlight and very different to NZ. The accommodaiton was surprisingly good, except in Deadwood, which was about 1 star I reckon...but an interesting old casino nevertheless. This tour is incredibly good value, and Harry, our guide keeps the costs low by stopping for dinner at a choice of cheap retaurants. We thoroughly recommend this tour even if you are Caucasian English speaking wrinklies like us!Read full review
100% Thank you Tours4fun for offering such an amazing thrill of a tour!

Oh my gosh, words can't describe the way I felt after having flown over the deepest and widest part of the Grand Canyon! This airplane tour was better than I could have ever imagined- 45 minutes just flies by when you are admiring the view ..of the Navajo Indian Reservation and the mighty Colorado River. I loved seeing the Kaibab Plateau and Forest and I have to say that Dragon Head was my absolute favourite part of the flight! I really think that this tour offers great value and a once-in-a-lifetime experience to fully appreciate the Grand Canyon and all the beauty it has to offer. My sister is scared of heights but I was able to convince her to take the ride of her life with me and she thanked me afterwards!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
It was amazing how much the scenery changed along Interstate 15, you start in Los Angeles where are the hustle and bustle of the big city is, and then you end up in the Mojave Desert- simply incredible. Las Vegas was amazing of course and U..tah was a very interesting state. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys finding out about the United States's diverse regions- its amazing to think that all these places are located in only one country! I also liked the Arches National Park, its stone masterpieces were incredibly beautiful and I think I was able to get some great photos for my scrapbook! I had read about the Crazy Horse Memorial but wasn't prepared for its actual beauty, and Mount Rushmore simply took my breath away! Yellowstone National Park was any nature lovers dream, from the hot springs to the geysers to nature all around you, this was a great experience and one that I will cherish for years to come.Read full review
