This tour was better than expected. The reviews I read before our tour frankly scared me. Our tour-guide Troy was excellent.His temperment was absolutely perfect for handling both Chinese and English speaking tourists (Especially 4 outspoke..n senior citizens).
The bus was new and very clean the driver was very professional and safe. We covered a lot of miles in a relatively short time so there was a lot of bus time, not much meal or free time(we knew that going in) but the scenery was breath-taking! We were able to take many sights off our "Bucket List"
While we knew meals were not included, the truck stops usually had some sort of healthy option, we would have liked to be closer to an alternative restaurant versus fast food when we stopped at the Chinese buffets before our hotels at night as these were our main meal of the day. We were able to bring food on the bus but NO styrofoam cups, ice cream or yogurt. Fortuately we brought our travel coffee cups with tight lids, plastic bottles with screw on lids were also acceptable. The hotels were all clean. The hotel wifi was not reliable and only usable at Salt Lake City. All the bathroom breaks had long lines for women. The bathroom on the bus was locked and unusable. We had couple of emergency bathroom situations, but Troy was able to take care of the problem in a Courteous manner.
Even with the language barrier we were able to enjoy the company during the tour and made new friends.
My request to Tour4fun(Seagull) would be more complete instructions for the meeting area in Circus Circus.It was complete chaos on the first day and ALL the tour guides were trying to re-group from the trip from Los Angeles. The SKYRISE TOWER Is not really part of the main Casino and the Casino personell do not have reliable information. Be more clear about the required charges on the tour to be IN CASH!
Short instruction on basic courtesy in a group situation to the Chinese Nationals that pushing and shoving to be first is not necessary.
We understood that this was a "Budget" tour, but we got much more than our money's worth. We were exhausted but in a very good way and will have many stories to pass on to our children and grand children.

Our guide, Gary, was excellent. He tried to meet everyone's needs. The tour was planned so that we got to see a lot of beautiful scenery in a short amount of time. Accommodations weren't the Ritz but met our needs, and all we really needed.. was a comfortable bed to sleep in since we didn't spend much time in the hotels. We enjoyed the tour and would recommend it.Read full review
This was my first guided tour. Thank you very much Leslie Lee our tour guide and driver Tony (I think that's his name). Leslie was well organised throughout the whole trip. The driver was extremely careful on the road. We saw a truck ov..erturned on our way back to Las Vegas.
It's a fantastic 7-day trip. It was hectic but fun. Leslie would always tell us where to look for the attractions. When it was time for a stop, he would tell us whether we should get some food for consumption later, just in case we had no time to have a long stop for lunch.
Overall, an excellent tour!

If you want arrangements to be really efficient, that's best choice. I have highly recommended to my friend. It's better than road trip, because more safe, relax and view.
This very competitively priced 6 day tour from Denver packed a great deal in, allowing us to see many of America famous sights in just a few days. It was very well organized, with a great tour guide and a very safe driver, and we couldn't ..fault them in any way. The days are quite long, and there are some early starts, but we really enjoyed the experience, and were lucky to have good weather as well.Read full review
Tour was as described, no surprises. Some of the hotels could have been a bit better but not too bad overall. Guide and driver were very good and the itinerary was well planned out. Great deal for the price!
The tour guide Leslie from Seagull Travel is attentive, helpful and knowledgeable, explaining everything in both Mandarin and English. Driver Leroy is a great guy, always kind and reliable. This tour includes pretty much over 6 hours' time ..in the bus every day, which is inevitable if you are travelling through 6 states in 6 days. But generally it has been enjoyable, thanks to the efforts of Leslie and Leroy.
About the tour itself, I love everything about it. I instantly fell in love with Denver the day I arrived there. Even the scenery along the road is like nothing I had ever seen, let alone the majestic national parks. (But prepare to take the heat in Arches National Park on the second last day)
I highly recommend it if you are a nature lover and seek to find an unusually memorable trip.Read full review
We've always arranged and traveled our own vacations ourselves; always felt that "tours" were a waste of money. But your tour was totally, totally, absolutely totally worth it ! ! !
Our tour guide, Roger, was fun, considerate, informati..ve and educational. Our driver, Paul, was professional and experienced. Made us feel safe that he was in charge of the road as well as our lives.
Our fellow passengers were of many nationalities from Brazil, India, Indonesia, China, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Georgia;
all were friendly, courteous, and helpful.
I'm 64 years old and have visited Paris, Caribbean, Hawii, Alaska, Vancover, Toronto, Mexico, Grand Canyon, Vegas, etc., etc.
it's not like I haven't been around, to say that this was one of the most memorable trips ever!
Thank you!Read full review
This is the best tour for the price:
* Seven states in 7 days, enjoyed a lot but not rushing, had enough time to enjoy sightseeing, took 3000+ beautiful pictures.
* TIM (the tour guide) is a gentleman, polite, and handsome too. TIM took t..ime to narrate the itinerary (clearly in English and Chinese) ahead of time so we enjoyed and learned a lot.
* Tim was so caring, he planned ahead for almost everything, especially for the meals on the trip, stopped at good places for reasonable meals, with variety choices for Asian, American, Italian, all you can eat Asian buffets, Mc Donald, Arby’s, even stopped at supermarkets.
* Andy, the bus driver, was a little quiet but a good driver, we felt safe and comfortable.
* All the 3STAR hotel, motel, inn, and cabin whichever we stayed were safe, comfortable, clean...
So many good things to mention, this trip is a must. My wife wants to have another trip right away with Tours4Fun.
Thanks TIM, Andy and Tours4Fun

I went on the 7-Day Bus Tour to Mt. Rushmore & Yellowstone. I can see so many places in 7 days. The most interesting place was Yellowstone National Park, the Old Failfull, the Geysers, the Mouth Rushmore. I wish the tour in the park was lo..nger and I could spend a night in the hotel inside the park. But the tour spend a night at the hotel outside the gate. The bus riding hours are very long. I recomment to take some games and books with you. The hotel in Denver, QV in sport center was bad. The bed sheets, blankets, and covers were dirty. Luckily I brought a light blanket with me. Other hotels were good. We went on the tour in mid May so the weather was very comfortable not too cold not too hot. Recommend to wear layer so you can take off if it's hot specially in Las Vegas. Due to the bear danger I could not go to the trail in Grand Teton. I only took the picture from outside. The tour guide speak a lot of Chinese language but did not translate much in English and I do not know Chinese language. I am Asian and people assume I am Chinese. So I see others were laughing and I do not know what they are laughing about. Recommend the tour guide translate all the conversation to English so the non Chineese speakers can enjoy the tour.Read full review
We joined the 7 day tour to Mt. Rushmore and Yellow Stone Sep.29- Oct.5. The tour was magnificent/spectacular/amazing. The driver was tireless he always had a smile on his face and the tour guide,Zach was a genius. He knew his history and ..geography w/o blinking. But what spoiled the trip was we we`re in the company of very rude no manners women from China. They pushed and shoved just to be the first to get off from the bus, not giving respect to one handicapped passenger in a wheelchair. My sister was hit in the head by one of them, with the woman`s backpack but no apology rendered. We suggest that the tour should give lessons or briefings on good manners and right conduct. Including covering your mouth when your coughing.Read full review
This was an amazing tour that covered more than 3000 miles and seven states in seven days. The tour guide Marc and driver Danny were great. Marc has provided lot of in depth and interesting information at every location. Hotel accommodati..on, breakfast, and lunch arrangements were excellent. This tour provided more value for the money.Read full review
