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.

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
94% 3 day Tour Hearst Castle, San Fran, Yosemite Park

Never took a tour before, after my experience, I must say that the tour made a very good impression for tours4fun for the 3 days until it was time to go home.
It started out where Mark ( tour guide ) Great Guy very informative and very kn..owledgeable of every point and site that we visited including San Francisco , Hearst Castle, and Yosemite Park. The Bus is surely clean, spacious, rules were applied on the bus, however in my condition i was motion sickness so i stood most of the time going to Yosemite Park ( Laughing ). Mark made me sit in front when it was our turn to sit towards the back. Mark is very understanding and he actually sat in the back in my chair. Funny ! But cool because he cares for the people/tourists. I give Mark A@@plush; for that. You have a great tour guide. I hope you keep him for a long time! Alot of internationals touring and made a few friends although my family was with me. I felt i was the Photographer Consultant in the bus teaching the people how to take great shots :). Anyways, the tour is something i can't really put on words because you have to experience it and don't expect anything. Just go with it and enjoy yourself. I wouldn't mind repeating that tour again. I have alot of smiles when i came home. I actually made a few friends and i miss them already. If anything I wish the tour lasted more than 3 days. Good to meet good people, eat good food, and most off JESUS our bus driver. Great Driver !!! A@@plush; for JESUS i also miss that guy! The Hotels clean, spacious, quiet, and free wifi so bring your laptop. :) for those that use Skype to talk to your love ones far away. Now going home we had to swtich buses, to accommodate the ones going back to O.C and the airport. I guess there was another Tour Guide named MiMi why he told me his name was MiMi Funny. But his real name is Paul. I guess he's either one in a bad mood or just totally angry. D@@plush; for him. Sorry he wasn't friendly. Plus he sat next to me. Other than that, I had a great and wonderful time. Thank You Mark & JESUS for a great 3 day tour! If anyone decides to take this tour, make sure you ask for Mark !!Read full review
Enjoyed the tour with many asian customers and professional guide. The only negative points: we had to stand up around 4am to get the 2nd day to Yosemite, it is a lot of traveling and you have to be aware that you'll likely have to pay addi..tional money (I paid additionally 90$ for tip, Hurst-entrance, city and boat tour, not including food).
The seats are comfortable, there is an emergency-toilet, but this time I had a bus (nr. 238, I think) that was apparently a little bit older and had no emergency exit (e.g. no possibility to exit through the windows).Read full review
My family and I really enjoyed this tour. The sightseeing was great. Solvang was nice. The company did a wonderful job showing many parts of San Francisco and the highlights of the city. Yosemite was a pretty and peaceful place to visit. He..arst Castle was very interesting and informative.Read full review
This tour was a great bargain! What a good price for everything we saw and did, and I even splurged on some of the extra activities that you can partake in. Our guide told us that Solvang means "sunny field" in Danish, and this small villag..e was very fascinating. I enjoyed being in a town, which reminded me of Europe. Hearst Castle was a fantastic palace, we were able to take pictures but without the flash and they came out nicely. I simply loved the castle and its antique architecture; it reminded me of the many castles found in my home country, Scotland. I had always wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge in person, and it is really an impressive feat. I went on the San Francisco Bay Cruise in order to get up close and personal with the bridge. It was spectacular! My wife wishes we had opted for the Fisherman's Wharf though because she really wanted to walk along the pier and try the delicious seafood- but she was glad she came on the cruise with me. We both thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Yosemite National Park and wished we could have stayed more time there- but alas, our trip was over. I will be back though and when I do I would like to do another tour with tours4fun.Read full review
This was our first trip to Europe and we wanted to cover as many places as we could in 10 days. If this is what you are looking for, this tour is an excellent option. If you are looking for a more relaxed trip, choose to visit fewer locatio..ns because there is so much to see! :) First, considering the tight schedule with a bus full of tourists, the tour is well organized and everything was according to the detailed itinerary available on the website. What you see on the schedule is exactly what you get. Mano out tour guide and Freddy our driver were very good in all respects. There looks to be a lot of driving on the schedule but we were not as tired as we expected to be as there were regular breaks approximately every 2 to 2.5 hrs.Read full review
I picked Tours4Fun because of the destinations and the cities that were included in the European vacation. Online purchasing went smoothly. The trip was fair for the price. You get a taste of the different cities in Europe where you can eve..ntually view the one you like the most again and come back one more time.Read full review
Seeing Hearst Castle from within is a wonderful experience of historic European architectural styles. Its admirable view of the open Pacific Ocean (with seals on the coast) made me wonder how a genius had made art and nature mix in a fasci..nating manner. To top that, the collection of antiques and other elements such as the cinema whose walls were lined with shelves of rare books is quite an amazing sight!Read full review
It was a long and wonderful trip! We really love the cities and places we visited. It's truly a rich European culture tour for us. We were very lucky to have two wonderful tour guides and a fantastic coach diver. Florian Didier is our Pari..s tour guide and Danny Meszaros is our tour guide from Switzerland to Italy to Monaco. They are very funny, responsible, patient and very knowledgeable about the places we visited. We enjoyed their stories and comments. Thank you, Florian and Danny! The coach driver Fred is absolutely amazing. Thank you Fred for your safe, fast and smooth driving! You are the best driver!!!Also, many thanks to our Venice, Sistine Chapel and Colosseum tours guides. They are great! I will always remember their charming smiles and fascinating stories.Overall we are very happy about the airport pickup and drop-off services. Even though we don't know their names of the two young men (Sorry that we don't speak French), we want to say thank you to them. We are also very happy about the service desk ladies for their fast responses. You've provided the best services.Very happy that we made new friends from Malaysia, lovely Connie and her husband. Hope see you again! We will come back to you for our next European trip and, of course, I will recommend your service (Go EU Go) to my friends. Je vous remercie!Read full review
It was a great experienced for my family, tiring but worthy. We enjoyed the 11 days, Italy, Switzerland and France Tour. The optional cost is clearly indicated, the city tax and service charge, thereís no surprises when it comes to expense..s. I would recommend and will consider tours4fun.com for our future trips. Our tour guides Florian, then Lex Tang were both professional and polite that made our group comfortable. The tour bus driver Fred was great too!Read full review
