Tour guide was nice. Driver needs to improve his attitude. Overall tour was well planned. Mostly Chinese passengers and they only stop at Chinese restaurants for meals. BEWARE--There is a $18 per person Gratuity for tour guide/driver which ..they don't disclose until you receive your e-ticket. Also on second day free time they give you an option to join San Francisco in depth tour that is $25/person. If you don't join that you will be left at a place where you can't do anything so you end up taking this tour. So add total of $43/person to the total cost.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
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 don't really mind mixing with different kinds of people, but being the ONLY other nationality is awkward if not annoying. People were speaking Chinese all around, I can't laugh at a joke or even offer anyone anything. William was a fun gu..y, I suppose. He spoke Chinese most of the time and English sometimes, which we strained to understand with his accent. The driver was cool, such a sport. Didn't enjoy the first leg of the bus ride since we were seated at the back next to a family with a man that smokes (I have asthma) and his rambunctious and loud grandson. Solvang was a quaint town. I like that they tried to preserve the look and the industries. We had a light lunch at Tower Pizza... absolutely delicious, and I didn't hesitate to say so. We were not given a lot of time to go around, so we just looked around and bought some pastries in case we got hungry. Hearst castle was absolutely breathtaking for people who like antiques. The grand opulence is just truly amazing. I would have liked to stay longer but time was short. Oh, and be sure to check the tickets your guide gives you. We got a ticket for the upstairs bedroom tour and two grand room tour. Obviously we can't be separated so we had to go back to the ticketing area to clear it up (wasting time). Lucky for us, it was not a busy day for them, and they had space for more in the grand rooms tour. We stayed overnight at the Courtyard Marriott in Newark, really wonderful. Clean and luxurious with helpful staff. We had a cooler for drinks in the room which we used as a mini refrigerator, and a small coffee maker which makes one drink at a time. Supplies in the room are not a lot, but you can call the front desk and ask for more. Ice maker is near the elevators. We would have used the jacuzzi out by the outdoor pool, but we were dead tired. We did not go with the group to San Francisco. It was quite a large group by then, we were tired from the day before, and there were specific places we wanted to visit at our leisure that was not on the itinerary. For the Yosemite leg of the tour, we had to wake up and get ready at 4am. The bus leaves at 5am, so be sure to have some semblance of breakfast ready to go the day before. The microwave is in the Marriott lobby free for anyone to use. Yosemite was a little bit of a bummer in summer because there is NO FALLING WATER at the waterfalls. Maybe springtime would be a better time to visit the falls. The view was still good though. Just a little side note, if you don't want to eat Chinese food EVERYDAY, you might want to bring some food with you. You can also buy some supplies and food at the Raley's or Safeway supermarket near the Marriott. Safeway has a deli, Marriott also has a tiny 'Marketplace' and a Starbucks in the lobby you might want to take advantage of.Read full review
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 tour.. 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
We took this tour during New Year time and had an amazing time with my family. Everything was planned on time, notifications were given in timely manner and well organized. It is a little fast phase, but if you like sightseeing and taking ..pictures, I think it is a nice tour to take.Read full review

Lower Antelope Canyon was a personal favorite with its stunning rock formations. The pace was just right, allowing us to explore each destination without feeling rushed. I came back with a camera full of amazing memories!
