As a foreigner it's difficult to understand that "Customary tour gratuities" are necessary, when I once have paid for a service. In my case a heli-tour at $ 315/Sedona - Grand Canyon. It's a lot of money ! Besides , I must pay a fuel surcharge. I'm satisfied with the price, included the fuel surcharge, but I feel that when I don't tip on top of the amount of around $ 325, I' haven't REALLY paid - being a bit of a cheat and a miser. That makes me a bad customer.......
The "customary tour gratuities" are an optional gratuities that you may leave for the tour guide, should you feel his services and information was very beneficial to your tour.

HI
I WANT TO MAKE TOUR FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO LAS VEGAS THRUGH YOSEMITE
I HAVE SEEN A 4 DAY TOUR AS AN OPTION. MY QUESTIONS ARE:
THE PRIZE I SEE FOR A SINGLE IS AROUND 393$. IF I FINISH IN LAS VEGAS AND NOT RETURN TO SDAN FRANCISCO IS LESS?
THE VISIT TO YOSEMITE INCLUDES THE MARIPOSA GROVE TO SEE THE SEQUOIAS?
IF MY IDEAL TOUR IIN TWO DAYS SAN FRANCISCO TO YOSEMITE FIRST DAY, MARIPOSA GROVE AND VEGAS ON SECOND DAY, AND OPTIONAL A 3RD DAY IN VEGAS FOR GRAND CANYON, WHAT ARE THE BEST TOURS THAT FITS THAT?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
Because this is a travel package, we will not compensate for any missed portion of the tour (including returning to San Francisco)
The Visit to Yosemite will cover mainly the following attractions: Tunnel View, Bridal Veil Falls, El Captain, Merced River, Yosemite Falls, Half Dome.
Unfortunately, most of our packaged tours do not go in-depth with Yosemite.
The Comfort Inn Cockatoo is currently $89.00 per room, per night. This hotel offers free shuttle service to and from LAX airport.
When you arrive at LAX, you can take the hotel shuttle to the Comfort Inn Cockatoo.
When you check-out of the hotel, you can use the hotel shuttle service to return to LAX for pickup from your tour guide for the transfer to the first night's hotel for the 8-day West Coast tour you are interested in.
Alternatively, you can choose to stay at the Howard Johnson. However, for early pickup at LAX, there is a $30.00 transfer fee per person.
Thank you for your inquiry.

I am more interested in seeing bears and buffalo than the thermal sights. Which tour would give me the most time in Yellowstone and Teton parks? Are all tours through Yellowstone much the same and what are the chances of actually seeing the animals-any time of year better?
thank you

We can’t guarantee you’ll see a bear while traveling through Yellowstone or Grand Teton parks. Following are some information that you may find useful. During spring and mid summer, a few visitors do get lucky and have the opportunity to see a grizzly bear. In early spring (May and June) bears can be viewed just about anywhere in the park. In late summer (Aug.) visitors report seeing grizzly bears at Canyon and Mount Washburn. Black bears are often viewed during the summer near Tower Falls, Old Faithful and at Canyon. Bison are common in Yellowstone park and can be viewed in many locations during most of the year. However, if you visit Yellowstone in August your best chance of viewing them will be at Hayden Valley. Bison travel from all over Yellowstone park in late July to Hayden Valley for their annual mating season.
We also offer tours that stay inside the park for one night which you might be interested: https://www.tours4fun.com/tours-search/keywords/canyon%20lodge/ (schedule not available at this time. Please check back in March). All tours offer a similar itinerary visiting must see areas and we regret that we don't have tours which are focused on wildlife sighting. Thank you for your inquiry.

Thank you for your answer. However, I don't need any pick-up service and just need 2 nights in las vegas hotel and grand canyon bus tour! In this instance, I think it is better that I choose this tour(2-232) (because it is $31 cheaper than 2-104) and then check in las vegas hotel for myself.
We regret that self check-in is not possible if you choose tour 2-232. This is mainly because the local tour office is based in California and tour 2-232 is a special offer for those who join the tour in LA, CA only.
Thank you for your inquiry. Hilary - Customer Service Rep. www.tours4fun.com
I'd like to begin my trip in Las Vegs. However, there is $31 difference between 2-104 and this(2-232). So I hope to use this tour service(2-232) but don't take LA to las vegas bus. Is it possible?(please say it is...T.T.....)
What is the exact departure and arrival? just to know for my flights. Which airports do i need to book? and is there a shuttle to the starting point or hotel?
