We are a retired New Zealand couple who joined 51 mandarin speaking fellow travellers plus a few other "pakeha" people like us on the 4 September 2009 tour. We found them very friendly and great travelling companions and our competent tour ..guide, Harry, gave us an excellent commentary in mandarin and english. I nice modern bus also. We enjoyed everything and the tour was very comprehensive...Crazy horse and Mt Rushmore and the Montana museum were most interesting. Yellowstone is one of the greatest places we have ever visited with diverse, beautiful and awesome scenery. Even though NZ has outstanding scenery and similar thermal areas, Yellowstone was as good. Arches national park was wonderful and a highlight and very different to NZ. The accommodaiton was surprisingly good, except in Deadwood, which was about 1 star I reckon...but an interesting old casino nevertheless. This tour is incredibly good value, and Harry, our guide keeps the costs low by stopping for dinner at a choice of cheap retaurants. We thoroughly recommend this tour even if you are Caucasian English speaking wrinklies like us!Read full review
My fiancee and I had a very nice time on this tour. Our guide was punctual and was waiting for us when we arrived in Denver. I really enjoyed visiting the Coors Brewery and taste-testing the wares at the end! Since my wife is half-Native In..dian, she absolutely LOVED seeing Cheyenne and the Crazy Horse Memorial. She took so many pictures there and it was quite the site. Mount Rushmore was so much better in person than it is in books. The hotels we stayed at were pretty nice and the staff was always very friendly. I could have done without the visit to the West Coast Museum as museums are not my favorite places, but the other people on the tour seemed to have a good time there. Devil's Tower was a site that really moved my fiancee and I, it was quite interesting and it felt very spiritual being there. But our favorite part of the tour was Yellowstone National Park and seeing Old Faithful and Mammoth Hot Springs, what a relaxing afternoon! Salt Lake City was all right, but my fiancee wishes there had been more time to go shopping. Overall, the tour was very worthwhile.Read full review
This tour is so hot that we made a reservation almost one month in advance. I love Yellowstone and Grand Teton. The natural sceneries are amazing and the wild animals are very lovely. The most impressive spot, I think, should be the geysers... The other feature of this tour is that you can live in Yellowstone National Park 2 nights. Sounds good? The hotel we lived in was Canyon Lodge. The room was neat and comfortable and we had 2 great nights there. I highly recommend this tour: wonderful and affordable.Read full review
My husband and I visited Yellowstone National Park last week and had an amazing time. However, the geyser Old Faithful was our least favorite attraction. There is so much hype about the geyser that people pack the area when it is predicted ..to erupt. If the geyser has not gone off by the predicted time, people start complaining about how its "late". Then there is a crush of people trying to go all different directions as soon as the eruption is over. Hardly worth the annoyance and effort when there are other geysers just as impressive predicted with good accuracy by the park service, with fewer crowds. My advice is to find out when the geyser is predicted to go off and then head to one of the less visited areas of the park. There is too much beauty to see here than to be stuck on a bench in crowd of thousands. But, the rest of Yellowstone was great and we had a fantastic time.Read full review
100% Amazing tours with special places that other companies do not have

I chose this tour because I want to go to Mt. Rushmore, Devil's Tower and Yellowstone. I can't find other tour companies that include Devil's Tower with this price. The Devil's Tower is really impressive. However, our favorite place is the ..Yellowstone National Park. The geysers are fantastic. This tour gave you two chances to see it. It also took you to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, which is so much impressive than the Grand Canyon in Arizona. You pretty much got to see everything in Yellowstone. I and my mom did not speak any chinese but the guide is knowledgable and quite funny and we have no problem to understand his English.
The only drawback about this tour is the drive on the first day from Denver to South Dakota. However, if I have to fly to Rapid city, in which you can find other tours to take you to Mt. Rushmore, the price is so expensive. This tour is incredible and so affordable. Highly recommmended!!!!Read full review
- I am writing to you to make a comment about your services. My family and I along with my 2 friends from Thailand took 7 days tour Yellowstone National Park last summer. We have a great time. I highly recommened to anyone who would want to.. see the most amazing nature in the West Coast. Visited Yellowstone National Park was a experienced we ever had before. Talk about the tour services, we would never get bored while we were on tour for 7 days. The tourguide was a good communicator, speaking both laguages Chinese and English and his knowleadgable with many years of the experiences made us so comfortable to travle. And last but not least the bus driver was also nice for drive the bus with care and safety. I surely will use your service again.
