Definitely recommend the tour just that adding 15 more mins to each of the stops will help the travelers who need a bit of time to walk and enjoy the scenery. we almost felt like we were running to make sure we are not late.

It was very puntual! We join in Las Vegas everything as planned! The best tour ! Love the antelope canyon! And Yellowstone it's amazing! You have to get up really early but it's worth it!
Loved it but very tiring because of early starts and late finishes but I guess you have to with how much we covered. Options for food places should be given rather then just Chinese buffet places and McDonald's.
The driver Mary was marvelou..s and good company!Read full review

Buen tour por la cantidad de lugares que se conocen y la belleza de los paisaje.un buen guia y una vonductora muy amable y de buen animo.
Se sugiere mejorar;
-Hotel en salinas, pesima calidad
- hotel en St George.
- planificar mejor el ulti..mo dia.se pierde mucho tiempo en las vegas y se omitio la parada de compras en Barstow.
- el pimer dia es muy desorganizado.se pierde tiempo yendo en los angeles de un sitios a otro y de bus en bus.mientras se organizan todos los tours y se reparte la gente.es posible mejorar est ya que este primer dia no se hace nada de interes.Read full review
1- tour muy completo, se conocen muchos lugares, a pesar de los largos recorridos que se deben hacer.
2- Los hoteles en St. George, muy regular y el otel en Salinas, pesimo,viejo y falto de aseo. Los demas aceptables, pero de categoria muy.. inferior a lo que me ha ofrecido tours4.fun en otros tores que he realizado.
3- Se puede planificar mejor el dia 1, en el que no se hace mucho y se pierde mucho tiempo yendo de sitio a sitio en los angeles y en las vegas, mientras se conforman los grupos de los diferentes tour. Igual el dia final, donde se perdio mucho tiempo en las vegas y no se pudo realizar la parada de compras en los outlets de Barstown.
De resto un tour muy recomendable, formidable recorrido, muy completo, pero que por las largas distancias a recorrer puede resultat pesado para algunas personas.
Muy buen guia y muy amigable nuestra señora conductora.
Atte,

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
The tour itself is great, you visit a lot of places in a short space of time. The locations we visited were all fantastic, and it was amazing how many incredible things we saw in just 6 days. Diana is a knowledgeable guide, and very friendl..y and chatty. Keith is a great driver. We were in good hands with both of them.
However, we felt that the tours were very much organised for Chinese travellers, especially when it came to meal breaks where if there was a Chinese buffet it didn't much matter what other choices were available - and often they weren't great. On a couple of occasions it felt like we drove a considerable distance just to find Chinese food, and funnily enough many of the Chinese travellers went off to find pizza!
The hotels we stayed in were of a mixed standard. The first 3 were lovely, we were warned about the one in Yellowstone West, and it was as bad as Diana said. The one in Salt Lake City, was also fairly seedy, although the location was good. Some of the places we stayed were well off the tour route and we found ourselves backtracking miles!
Another couple of niggles were that we were not offered the option of completing the round trip back to Denver, which all the Chinese travellers seemed to know about, but the English speakers didn't. We would have taken that option had it been offered! Flights back from SLC were expensive. And I enquired about staying another night at the hotel in SLC, but was told it wasn't possible. Interestingly the hotel was not that busy and it probably would have been possible. I got the impression that nobody was interested in organising it.
This tour is considerably cheaper than the only other one taking in similar sights and I guess you get what you pay for. I would certainly recommend it, with warnings about the issues I've outlined. It was a great way of covering a lot of ground, seeing a lot of sights, and not having to do the long drives myself.Read 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
