"Why we have this wonderful trip? We want to thank our driver John and the tour guide Danial, and they were just wonderful, we would like to compliment them on their courteous friendly personality for a wonderful time."
This was an amazing adventure. The staff went above and beyond making our stay comfortable. The staff researched activities and made sure we had the vacation of a lifetime. The breakfast was prepared special for me and made with no meat pro..ducts. The room was rustic. The room was clean.Read full review
"Beautiful and stirring scenery in the Canada, espercially for the Agawa Canyon Park. We have experienced some of the most spectacular fall color in North America."
"It is a reasonable schedule, and we went to the famous scenic spots, the tour fee also included 2 days of hotel breakfast.It is delicious, by the way."
The communication at this company was terrrible. After we initially purchased our tickets, we received absolutely no more notification of what to do or where to meet. Not a week before our trip, or even the day of. When we didn’t find any..one who was supposed to be picking us up at the airport on time, we called the emergency number and a lady with a strong Chinese accent picked up on the other end but she didn’t understand me, I couldn’t understand her, and so she hung up on me after saying she didn’t know how to help me.
After receiving a strange call from a California number from a man with a strong Asian accent I couldn’t confidently understand, we were approached and hauled off to a bus that brought us to a hotel where we waited for 3 hours standing around before starting our trip.
On day 1, we did not see anything besides our hotel. Despite it appearing that we would start touring then and despite that we still had to pay a $9 service fee. On day 2, our itenerary stated we would see Lake Powell. We didn't even stop. For the Bryce National Canyon stop, we drove 5 hours from where we were (not including the lengthy bathroom stops because you can’t use the bathrooms on the bus) to make ONE stop at Bryce Canyon for LESS than 40 minutes.
We spent more time at Chinese buffets than at Bryce Canyon, Grand Teton, and Zion National Park combined! We went out of our way to get to some of these Chinese buffets, which resulted in more time waiting around on the bus, because the tour guide would get to eat free for bringing in a bus full of people.
Besides spending more time eating than at the actual destinations, we spent just as much time at bathrooms along the way. There is a bathroom on the tour bus but if it’s used it will make the entire bus smell like sewage. You would stop for a bathroom every 2 or 2 and 1/2 hours and EVERY female on the bus used the bathroom EVERY time so there would always be extensively long wait times for that reason. Our tour guide would specify a time to be back by the bus at and most travelers did not abide by that (and faced no consequences) and we waited for longer than expected or also, we sometimes had to wait because there were still people in line for the bathrooms since lines were so long.
Also, it may be important to note this specific tour was much more focused on Asian customers than American. My boyfriend and I were the ONLY non Asian people on the bus. There’s nothing wrong with that although, it did make us feel uncomfortable with some of the looks and reactions we got and we also felt left out when our tour guide would speak more in Chinese than English and failed to ensure we also knew what was going on. His English was not the most clear and there were multiple occasions we didn’t understand what we were supposed to be doing or what the money we were giving him was for.
Overall, if you’re looking to see a bunch of places for a very short amount of time, you don’t care about being in a bus for half the day, everyday, you love Chinese buffets, and you prefer your vacations to be a little more sketchy, this is a perfect trip for you. If not, I would suggest you look elsewhere for tour companies or even just pick a few destinations, spend however much time you want there, and be able to actually take in all the destinations for what they’re worth. Good luck.Read full review
The tour guide Christian was great. He was very helpful and kept us on schedule. We had plenty of time at the destinations to explore and take it all in. I am the kind of traveler who likes a medium-to-fast-paced tour where some stops are q..uicker than others, so this was perfect for me. Thanks for the unforgettable experience!!Read full review

Had great time, superb tour, well organised.
The tour managers, Mr. Choung Ho and Mr. Sebastian Kondor, were great.
Good interaction and co-ordination.
Some places especially at Salzburg , Rome, Pisa, could have done with more time, wh..ile, at Milan lesser time would have sufficed.
Major disappointment was the tour co-ordinator could not manage Rome Collisseum tickets, case of being so near yet so far away.
Also there was no time to trudge up to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Made some great friends.Read full review
Excellent Tour. We are satisfied...but if it is possible, pls make lunch time in Koblenz shorter so it is still have time to try the cable car near the restaurant...
Thanks to this tour package, we got to witness wonderful history and many destinations within 9 days (though I’ve booked the 11days) first & last day was free&easy. You really got to visit what’s stated on the itinerary, bus ride from o..ne destination to another was safe & comfortable. Martin the driver was not bad, patience & friendly. There will be pit stops for short break but it’s really really short! Danny, our knowledgeable tour guide always reminds us about our belongings & safety. NOW! Here’s the ugly part of the tour package. It’s super rush! Every place you only got 2-3 hours unless the ones with guided tour (about 4 hours) For some places, although tour guide promised to have a couple of hours, end up is an hour! So be prepared for even more short duration of exploring the places if the weather is sucks for the time you visit. Thankfully, the weather throughout the trip for us from 13dec to 21dec were perfect! No bad weather or accidents along highways. Hotel (accommodation) for Switzerland, Italy were better standards compared to the stay in France. Breakfast every morning was boring, but that’s the standard. Other than that, it was a pleasant trip and easier to get a grip of everything in a short period of time. Thank you.Read full review
I love the tour, the tour guides are just amazing, friendly, professional and caring.
they really make you happy and informed. The Drivers are equally professional and patient.
The only suggestion I can make is upgrading the Paris Accomm..odations to something better.
otherwise, everything is perfect. I love it and I recommend it.Read full review
