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

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
I left out of Las Vegas. The bus ride was a bit long at times, but they played movies, etc. to break it up. Seeing all those sights in one trip was amazing, Arches National Park. Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Mormon Church, Utah C..apital building, Copper Mine 3/4 mile deep and 3 miles wide that can be seen from orbit, Grand Tetons, the great Salt Lake, etc. Lots of sights. Most of the hotels had no bar or restaurant, but there were always restaurants nearby and I brought a bottle with me which came in handy if no bars nearby, like in Utah.Read full review
