Tour guide and bus driver were extremely friendly. The Guide is SUPER in every way: professional, knowledgeable, courteous, flexible, friendly, and speaks Chinese/English well. The tour locations are great sites, but the route was changed b..ecause Hearst Castle required reservation, so we went to Yosemite first, and saw the castle and Danish town on Day3. San Francisco sightseeing was great and the food at Chinatown was very authentic and memorable. Sheraton hotel in SF was very nice also! Packed tour, and the the bus was older and restroom did not work. Great value tour!Read full review
Just finished this trip yesterday. The tour itself was good, accomodation was excellent, but yet greatly disappointed by tour provider. We were assigned seats next to each other, but when we boarded the bus, we were told that they had rearr..anged our seats so we were not next to each other. We called/emailed Tours4fun more than 5 times that first day and they said that they had contacted tour provider, but the whole day nothing happenned. You are better off ORDERING directly from tour provider, SeaGullHoliday.com, they take care their "own" customers before taking care other people. Or maybe you can try another travel agent who is more respected by the tour provider. This one got no respect/service by the tour provider.Read full review
First day, our seats were separated from bus. The tour provider would not honor our seats reservation, which would have been next to each other. It was just the 2 of us, how does it make sense to separate us. Tour provider claimed they had ..the right to move us around to accomodate other passengers. What a BS!!! Ended up spending the whole day complaining throuh Tours4Fun, but nothing happen. Tour provider didn't even call the tour guide/driver to try to resolve this issue. At the end, all we got was a "sorry" from Tours4Fun and a wish to enjoy the next 2 days of the tour. You're better off purchasing directly from SeaGullHoliday.com, where they will give you guarantee tickets or from other agents. Other than that, the tour itself was fun, schedule was hectic, but was necessary to visit all these places.Read full review
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

Actually people should have know before they participate in these tours that they are all chinese tours. You always have to eat in the chinese town in the asian buffets. 90% of the people are asian in the tour. The movies you will watch dur..ing the trip will be chinese. And your tour guide will be chinese also. Our tour guide even dont know english well :( But the tour is nice in general. I will recommend the hearts castle tour, the other tours are not necessary maybe the city tour. But it is better if you do the city tour by yourseld , it wwill be more funRead full review
1. on the 1st day, my friends and I waited for the bus to pickup us 1 hr because CS told the tour guide the wrong place pickup location, and they asked us to call someone or taxi to catch the tour bus. finally, they called the taxi. 2. the ..tour guide; ZAC fm seagull holiday (join bus) didn't say anything, but he said, "you're scare me". 3. the optional tours say "Prices may vary due to different seasons and is subject to the final price on the box office". h'ever, the tour guide charge - hearst castle 24 ( the ticket shows $21.60 ) - cruise $26 (but the tour guide charged $28) - sightseeing $25 (they charged $25)Read full review
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.
They charge an extra $6 per day per person a fee for the driver and tour guide. Aren't they paid by the company already? That's an additional $36 added to the $230 price for 2 people. They charge extra for the "City Tour" of SF that lasts f..or about 3.5 hours, which should be included. Pay or they drop you off in the middle of downtown to do what you want and pick you up later in the evening. So Golden Gate and Pier 39 only included in SF tour unless you pay for extra. They take you to a couple of Chines Buffets, which up charge you since you "came of the bus". One place charged $11/person if you were one of the tourists but only $8 for locals as posted in their flyers. When I asked about it, they made up excuses for the additional charges. Hidden charges? Why need to mark how many tour bus people entered in a log book if the company doesn't get a cut of the up charge. Same thing for the hotel accommodations. Stops at various places were short and hurried. Yosemite only stops included the Yosemite Lodge with 20 minute sight seeing of Yosemite Fallls. Second stop is the "Tunnel View" of Yosemite Valley. Scenic overlook of valley but that's it for another 20 minutes. After that you're on your way out of Yosemite for a long nauseating ride down the mountain to Fresno. Overall OK if touching certain points of interests but a bit too hurried to enjoy sights completely and the extra charges are discouraging.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.
If you are a non Asian cancel and get a refund if you can This tour caters for Asian people in every way. If you want to fight off an average of 4 buses at a time for toilets and Chinese buffets and sit in seats designed for small adults, c..hildren and put up with smelly food whilst driving give it a miss If you are gay the tour guide points out each gay pers on in San Francisco and everyone stands up and takes a photo Will never tour with this company ever againRead full review
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
The 3-day tour was enjoyable enough and the tour guide tried his best to be accommodating, although there is a slight problem with understanding everything he's saying. He was Chinese like most o the passengers. Language was certainly an is..sue. The MAJOR issue is the BUS TRANSFER on the way back to LA. It was around the Bakersfield area. THE HEAT WAS AN UNBEARABLE 107 DEGREES. First of all, this was NOT mentioned AT ALL in the website. Second, the transfer was a DISORGANIZED MESS specially with the luggage transfers. Everyone rushed to get the luggages, lest someone picks up the wrong bag. 3rd, and WORST OF ALL, THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS 107 DEGREES OUT IN THE SUN. We had a toddler with us. Even the adults had a hard time. It definitely wasn't an ideal situation. THAT WAS A TOTAL DISASTER! SOMEONE COULD HAVE HAD A HEAT-STROKE THERE! I emailed them hoping they would LISTEN before someone SUES you for HEALTH REASONS. One of the drivers said that your company do bus transfers ALL THE TIME. I suggested that they INFORM your customers about something this important even BEFORE THEY MAKE A RESERVATION. And ORGANIZE IT PROPERLY! IF SO, WE DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE APPRECIATED IT IF WE WERE AWARE OF THIS FACT FROM THE BEGINNING. I haven't heard from the company regarding this issue. I hope this information helps.Read full review
