If you are on a budget and looking to travel and don't mind to mingle and do some walking. This tour is for you.
So far I had joined 4 tours by Tour4fun, I must admit I had so much fun that my only I regret was- I didn't know about this co..mpany earlier.
I have since recommended this company to more than 20 friends.Read full review
As long as you know what you're getting, it would be difficult to be disappointed with this tour. You must know that this is a bilingual tour composed mostly of Chinese and Indians. Our tour guide was Daniel and was very organized and pun..ctual. All stops and tours began on the dot. I just wish that Daniel would complete the English sentences before he gives the Chinese translation. He speak in phrases and translate the phrases in Chinese. It gets confusing as you wouldn't know whether he was speaking English or Chinese. Overall the tour was great, we had enough time to see the night sights during the Night Tour. Daniel even gave us tips where to buy reasonably priced meals. The Grand Canyon Tour was conducted by another tour guide, Leslie. He was better in giving the bilingual descriptions. You pay an additional $69 for the West Rim Tour but is a much shorter drive from Vegas. My only real complaint is the stop at the outlet store on the way to Vegas. It was unnecessary as we had another stop at the outlets store on the way back.. The Ethel M chocolate factory and Gardens Tour was also boring. I would still rate this tour as excellent except for the rude and noisy Chinese on the bus.

To discover the theme parks though they are not as big as those in Florida but still they are all worth the money to visit and experience the different kind of feeling...CA...

The tour was very enjoyable and the arrangements by the tour operator was good. But the time available at San Diego Sea World was not sufficient. We reached there around 12.30 PM and we were required to pack up by 5-30 Pm. In this short pe..riod we had to allot time for lunch also. We could manage only some of the many shows available. Especially we missed Polar Bear Penguin and Shark enclosures.The tour can start at 7.30 AM instead of 9.00 AM to see more attractions.Read full review
To begin with I travelled alone from Australia and this was to be my west coast leg for my holiday in America. I found it to be a cheap and SAFE way to see a lot of the countryside that I would have otherwised missed out on. I would recomme..nd this tour to anyone that is serious about sightseeing and not so keen to party!
I had a good time and saw some awesome sights :)Read full review
I've always wanted to visit Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, and Grand Teton N.P so when I saw the low price offered by this tour group, I jumped at the deal. I flew from NY to LA and caught the tour in Chinatown. After a series of bus breakdow..n, we were on our way.
The tour guide and driver (Mark and Sunny) were great, the scenery was absolutely amazing and the company was wonderful.
I enjoyed the tour and finally got to cross some places off my bucket list.Read full review
We are from the UK and chose this trip because of the low price being advertised. We were a bit unsure whether to book it at first but the tour was excellent on reflection. The tour had mainly Chinese people on it; however some Americans an..d an Australian couple were onboard. The tour guide Zac was very polite and knowledgeable towards us and the driver did a good safe job throughout. The hotels were basic (2 star) however they did improve as the week progressed. You definitely see a lot in the week, covering over 3500 miles and 9 states of USA. We ate at 3 Chinese buffets for dinner so if you don't like Asian food I'd not recommend this trip. We spent one night in Denver and used the free hotel bus into the city and ate at an Italian restaurant which was a nice change. The tour felt rushed at some points however necessary to allow the travel time required to the next destination. We would not recommend this trip to any senior citizens or families with children under 10 because of the pace and travel distances involved. You definitely see a lot of America in one week and this tour is excellent value for money compared to other companies and itineries. The only issues we had was the early mornings, food and compulsory $49 per person tip however this is all clearly explained in any email correspondence and the itinerary advertised. Pre-tour administration was very good and the tour collection was efficient. Onboard the bus there was many films played and you changed seats every day which was good. You see so much in the week from deserts, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, forests, harvest crops and many national parks with stunning scenery. Read full review
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!

Thank you Tours4fun for the wonderful trip, eventhough our time was very limited! It was my first time to joined the tour but atleast, give us more time at the most amazing place. Money wise, all worth it. All iterinary was on time & organi..zed. Too bad that our tour guide wasn't that good in english so it was kinda hard for us/others who are not mandarin speaking to understand what she was explaining. Good thing that my friend who was with me at the tour speak & understand mandarin, otherwise I'm lost! PLEASE MAKE SURE TO HAVE SOME TOUR GUIDE WHO SPEAK WELL ENGLISH for the sake of everyone....So, what is the use of having a restroom at the bus? Let us use it! so when we get to some place for restroom, it wouldn't take that much of our time just for the line & finding the restroom!!! Read full review
Just wanted to let you know that it was a amazing time at your Red Woods & Wine Country Tour. The Red Woods at the beginnging of the tour was a great start in the day. It is really breathtaking to take a walk through those gigantic high tre..es. The winetasting part of the tour was wonderful as well. The first winery the group went to was Cline. They offered a great variety of californien wines. After a first delightful winetasting the driver brought is to Sonoma City for lunch. A very beautiful town with small adorable boutiques, restaurants and of course a lot wine stores. The next winery the group were visiting was Homewood. I enjoyed the atmosphere where I have gained so much knowledge about californian wines. It is a really small winery which makes it even more comfortable. The last winetasting stop was at Larson. All I can say is very very nice. They even have a half zoo there with a lama, goats and horses. It was a great experience. Last but not least thank you to Charles, the tour guide, for making the day so enjoyable. His knowledge about californian history, Sonoma, Sausalito and the wineries was great and really added to the experience. And also his insider information about what restaurant is really worth going to came in handy. On the way back to San Francisco Charles threw in an additional stop in Sausalito. A couple of people of the group decided to take the ferry back to San Francisco. The rest of the group continued on and made a stop at the Golden Gate Bridge before going back to thehotel. That was a great opportunity to take a few more pictures. To sum up the entire day was so much fun and I loved being part of a small group. Thanks again and can't wait to take another tour with Tours4fun!Read full review
