The tour guide organized everything, gave us information to all the places we visited. Everybody were secured and enjoyed the trip. The driver also was good and patient, drove safe yo all our destinations.
100% Well organized! Couldn't have planned it myself!

The reviews on this site are accurate. Everything was well planned and timed. Most of the hotels we stayed in were above average. Driver and guide made the trip worthwhile. Hospitable and centered around everyone's safety in mind. Guide was.. very patient with our group and explained everything a million times so everyone knows what's going on. Be prepared for long bus rides if you're in the green line (Italy). This is literally a sightseeing tour, so don't expect to get to know each place very well. But if you want to see everything in a short amount of time, this is the tour for you!Read full review
100% Excellent Tour and a well informed professional guide

It was money well spent. Simon our tour guide was not only good in informing us the history of the various sites but he was also very good in making us remember it with his quiz and prizes during the trip.
Our money's worth. Jack was a very good guide and navigator to our driver. He tried very hard to maximize our time and get to all the sights. It would be good to provide description for some of sites requiring ticket e.g. Secret Cavern (..may not be recommended for claustrophobic people and need to have sturdy walking shoes).Read full review
The driver was phenomenal. He got us safely through a traffic detour and was clearly a professional and experienced driver.
The guide was more comfortable speaking Chinese and did no more than necessary to perform his duties and did n..ot seem overly enthused about the venues. He did not have the depth of information about historical sites and was not engaging as far as anecdotes and interesting facts. He would lead the group to a picturesque location and quickly abandon us. He encouraged us to have dinner at certain Chinese buffets, forcing most of the passengers to look for less expensive alternatives. Wakeup calls were generally at 5:30 a.m. and we were on the bus by 6:30 a.m.
It took five hours to get through the Rocky Mountains and although it may have been interesting for the first half hour, the scenery was repetitive and we would have enjoyed a faster ride to Denver.
I wonder if it is possible to explore a one night hotel stay in Yellowstone Park to save time even though it may raise our costs a bit, it would give us more time to enjoy the park. It took 2-1/2 hours to enter the park to view Old Faithful and 2-1/2 hours to exit the park to arrive at our hotel in West Yellowstone. It took 2-1/2 hours to re-enter the park the next day to visit some sites and 2-1/2 hours to exit the park to start our journey to the Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole Wyoming, and Salt Lake City.
I understand the guide and driver’s admonition not to use the toilet, but to keep it locked for eight days and not allow for emergencies was stressful and left us sipping water for fear we will need to go on a different schedule than the 2-1/2 hours between bathroom breaks. When the bus came to a stop, everyone rushed to the front in order to head for the restroom. Women’s lines were always longer. I think tour companies should improve the functionality of bus toilets including the unpleasant smell and disposal of human waste. I have read that some toilets only have a cover, some use formaldehyde solution, and drivers have poured motor oil into the toilet to seal the top. To deny usage based on the driver’s convenience is wrong, especially when it is mentioned on the website as an amenity.
Aim for getting to the hotel between 6 and 7 p.m. We often arrived closer to 9:00 p.m. The on-site restaurants were closed and passengers had to check in and immediately go out to look for mini-marts or fast food restaurants. This left no time to enjoy the amenities of the hotel such as the gym and swimming pool.
Most passengers were tired by the end of the trip but were pleased because of the beautiful venues we visited. Those who started the tour in Los Angeles were able to visit 9 states in 8 days. The weather was beautiful for the entire trip and the cost of the trip was a real bargain.
Please rethink your bathroom policy, alter routes to get us to the hotel between 6 and 7 p.m. and improve the Yellowstone Park experience by considering a one-night stay inside the park. Otherwise, thank you for a truly awesome time. We made some new friends and have many wonderful photos.Read full review
It was great that I had a chance to take this tour. I had a wonderful time with this trip. The tour guide was helpful in the history of each place that we had stopped by.

Everything was right on time. The guide was outstanding. She made her way through Paris traffic with real knowledge of where we we were going. I had a friend who just bought a skip the line ticket. He still had to wait two hours to get in. ..It was not that way with your tour. I will easily use your tours again ( I have already passed your web address to my neighbor who is going to Paris in August).Read full review
Carrie is a great tour guide, she tells people to be on time, so people can get their moneys worth. If someone gets a bit late ,she's on to he/she/them right away.The only negative is the lunch buffet restaurant where we ate going to 1000 ..islands doesn't have much food selections. Sorry , i don't give excellent grade. Carrie is wonderfulRead 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

While booking the tour online there is a total price mentioned but later you are forced to buy 4 attractions or pay a penalty of CAD.40 and also pay CAD.10 service charge per day on the bus. Why isn't this clearly mentioned online while boo..king?
Secondly the tour is like a military school trip where you are not allowed to carry coffee nor food no eat chocolate on the bus.
Hello, we are on holidays! Pls dont forget this!
The bus toilet is kept locked and not given to use even in emergency.
This is the worst tour I have ever taken in my life although travelled world over and of course this is the last from this company :-( :-( :-(Read full review
