Went to this tour on May 22-24 2013 with family and its a nice trip. best for a small family with no infants or seniors with you or else you will end up exhausted and unsatisfied.
Pros -
1. Economical,
2. multi city,
3. accomodati..on.
Cons -
1. 90% of dining stops are chinese restaurants only
2. Driver is not mannered and as he is not employee of Tours4Fun ,he speaks the way he want to talk with customer. No courtesy. If you request some thing he says i'm not related to Tours4fun.
3. Tour itinenary is not proper (Niagara Dam and Old Fort sucks and Philadelphia is not required instead extra time at Washington is good)
Others -
1. Tour Guide is Ok,
2. No breakfast in the hotels you stay but still you have to get ready by 7AM for touring. (As we are not satisfied with this on day 2 they arranged breakfast on day 3).
3. As mentioned Lunch and dinner is at own cost.
4. No proper information given by guide on Walkin Glen state park as its 2 miles in length with around 1000 steps - hard with children and seniors. Prior information would be very helpful to decide.
Let me give you some more details about this trip so that you can plan it better.
Day 1:- Stop at secret caverns and its very good but not suitable if u cant go down 3 to 4 stairs and come back. Niagara night view - not that as we expected but OK. Night hotel stay is very good.
For lunch - stop at some resting area with few restaurants. not bad.
For Dinner - They stopped at Chinese restaurant which suits for people who love chinese food. We have Burger king near by but they dont stop there even if 50% are interested in dining there - so we just walked to that place and got some.
Day 2:- 7AM to old fort and then to power plant which can be ignored as you will get extra time at Niagara falls as they will drop people there if you skip those 2 places.
Then Maid of the mist - awesome experience
Lunch at Niagara falls Food court building with lots of restaurants - felt better as we can choose food we want.
Dinner stop at chinese restaurant and dropped at hotel at 10 30PM
Day 3:- At 7 AM start to Washington memorials and then to White house and then to Air space museum where they gave 1 hrs 10 mins to see the museum and also have lunch - they are mad. It takes 2 - 3 hrs to enjoy that museum and that too on friday with lot of students in line.
Then moved to Philadelphia to see liberty bell - nothing great and i think they can ignore this and spend extra hrs in air space museum. Read full review
The tour guide, Jason was good in terms of explaining the sites of interest as well as the added tour to Google, Microsoft and Apple.
However, the city tour at SF, which cost $25 is not worth it. Can give it a go

I did not expect to see so many places in one 3-days tour. Very well done L&L Tours! Special thank you to our wonderful guide, Mars and the best driver, Ivan. The guys are fun and professional.
Good tour guide (good english), Well organized tour (except for Stanford university tour, which was not covered well due to failing light).
I feel the optional indepth city tour of san francisco should be merged with regular tour (and i..nclude the optional fee of $25 to tour fee, it is inexpensive and worth). This would help to rearrange timings and good coverage of stanford university in day time.
The food on final day (big buffet) was good, it is a steal @ $11.

The tour was really good as they covered most of the high sight seeing places.Our Pilot Sunday and tour guide Larry was added credit for the tour.He was able to explain everything with historical background which really impressed .
The t..our pack was scheduled in a such a way that u will be able to see all listed places with slightly hectic schedule due to distance and traffic.
The optional tour are all worth paying for it except the SFO in depth tour which does not make me satisfied for paying .
Over all the tour was all good.Read full review
I went on this tour with my sister and niece.We had a great time. The guides were very informative and had a good sense of humor.It was well worth the money. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends.
The tour was great, the tour guide (Hu) was nice and knowledgeable, in fact IMO he's the best among all the tour guides that I encountered in all my 3 tours with Tours4fun. All the hotels we stayed in was good.
The only thing is Tours4fun s..hould not charge extra $25 for the city tour, SF is not that big! and we had to pay the tips for that day too! Read full review

I bought this tour for my boyfriend for christmas and it was an awesome gift. It was a great gift because we got to travel and experience San franciso, yosemite, and hearst castle. Not only did we get to travel, but the customer service we.. experience made the trip even better ! Our tour guide was great and made the tour really fun. I was cautious of ordering on this website at first because everything was done online, but after reading all the reviews i ordered this tour and was very happy. They let you out a lot for bathroom breaks and food breaks during the trips which is great. The food places they take you to for dinner is actually really good places with GREAT prices. The hotels you stay at are also very good and not sketchy looking ha. The tour guide had an accent but was very nice and understanding and very knowledgable. He us talkative and very informative. The tour was a little rush because they want you to be able to go to as many places as you can, but at the end of the day is very tiring. we really had fun and recommend it. so dont be scared of booking on this website and is totally worth it.Read full review

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

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

It was a very fun trip. i traveled with 5 of my friends and we all enjoyed it.. The guide had a good sense of humor and quite knowledgeable. Accommodation was very close to Niagara falls (within walking distance) and it was at a very popula..r chain of hotels. I had little problem getting comfortable sitting on the bus but my friends had no trouble. Well you cant really complain for the price of the tickets. To sum up the whole trip it was fun and affordable. Read full review
The tour was enjoyable, meeting nice people and seeing the sights. Didn't get to see yosemite due to weather but enjoyed the beautiful 17 mile drive along the coastline.
Solvang, Hearst Castle, Yosemite was very nice. You guys should go there! Tour guide Zac was great. I think the San Fransisco tour should not be charged an extra cost, but should be included since SF is very small.

Kevin the tour guide and F1 bus driver were just great. The tour is just an overview of the places but it featured the high points of each sight as seen on postcards and travel books. The trip was hassle free except for the early morning wa..ke up calls to maximize the time and our money's worth, off course. The hotel accommodations at Marriot were generous. Restroom breaks during the road trip were ample. A great buy!Read full review
