94% 6 Day Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park Tour
By: Carol Woolford | Sun Oct 05, 2014 at 07.10 PM
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
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
100% Excellent 7 day trip 10 times better than expected, sites were great, coach and people were fantastic

It was very relaxing, the time at each site was perfect (espcially for the slow coach "pro" style camera photographers.
The meals and restaurant were well chosen and delicious and I foudn the whole experience thrilling. The morning star..ts can be early, but you arrive at your hotel in the evenings early so you still get at least 8 hours sleep, plus time for the gym/pool and eating, showering etc.
Only about 10 Chinese people on the tour, and the guide spoke in English first. Alan was our tour guide. Was highly surprised at the luxury of the hotels. Coach was very comfortable (I am 1.93, 6ft4.) I'll add photos soon.
People who said it was full on are obviously lazy :)Read full review
Tour was alot of fun. Roger made the tour fun and he is very knowlegable. Maurice the driver was excellent. I had a great time. Saw alot of U.S. and meet alot if interesting people. The motels were ok but I didn't go for the motels. D..eadwood was very interesting. The only thing I would change would be I wanted to go to the Battle of Little Big Horn not just drive past it.

I participated this tour 9/21 - 9/27/2011. The tour was away worthier than I expected. Our tour guide Alan was most capable controling the tour schedule and 53 tourists trying hard to satisfy all of them. i.e. showing us as many place..s as possible, giving us the idea where to eat or what not recommended, suggested us the best photo spots and often helped taking pictures of his group. In the beginning I was unpleasant and culture shocked with Chinese co-passengers. They do not care pushing and banging my back . Other Western tour members warned many times "Line, please!!"
Our tour guide had given us a lot less infos than he did in Chinese. It however is understandable as 85% tour memers are from China. Despite all those factors, I really enjoyed the tour. Hotels were far better than I predicted. People who complaint about the tour should be aware how much more it would cost if they go with other tour company. I will definately buy tours again from Tours4Fun very soon. Thanks million for your hard work, Alan & Amando. You never ever deserve complaints. Read full review
We went on yhe Yellowstone trip September 17-23rd 2011 Our tour guide Roger was great our driver Kevin did an excellent job. We met new friends. You will spend full days. Ihave seen other reviews showing poor accommodations. this is not the.. case. West Yellowstone was not the best Hotel but it also was note the worse place I have ever stayed. Hats off we had a great timeRead full review
Just finished Yellowstone Tour from Denver. Great Price, good accomodations and transportation. POINTS OF INTEREST WERE SATISFACTORY. Spencer and Dan were great guides. Good w ay to see lots of territory in a limited time.
I've just returned from the 7 day Mount Rushmore & Yellowstone
Bus Tour originating and ending in Denver (August 31 to September 6). It was so much better than I ever imagined possible. The price was amazing...three of us went for the pric..e of two. With such a low price, I thought the hotels would be really bad but I was pleasantly surprised. All were clean and comfortable with some being better than others. I especially liked the Holiday Inn in Billings Montana and the Marriott in Salt Lake City Utah, where we had suites (great for three!) The itinerary was great...we saw so much more than we ever could have seen by renting a car and driving...went 2500 miles and were in six states: Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Utah and Idaho. A pleasant surprise for me was visiting Arches National Park in Utah which was probably my favorite part of the trip. The reservation process was easy as was every other part of the tour. Our tour guide Harry was knowledgeable and approachable and our bus driver Nate was pleasant, accommodating and always had a smile for everyone. I have only been on three bus tours in my life, this being the third. Each other time, I always gave a tip to the guide and driver separately at the end of the tour. However this time, the guide collected it on the second last day. I found this rather odd and wondered if he shared with the driver, who, I feel deserved more than half as some days he drove for 12 hours and always loaded and unloaded the luggage and looked after selling us cold water (3 for $2) which was great! We were given ample time at each of the stops and we stopped on average every two hours for bathroom breaks. Sometimes the hikes were a bit too much for seniors but you could sit and relax if you did not want to do the hikes. I wish I had thrown in a bathing suit as we went to some hot springs for a swim. You could "rent" bathing suits there but I did not care to do that. All in all Tours4Fun gets top marks from me. I would recommend to my friends and would not hesitate to take another one!
