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
This tour was full of fun! The places we visited were definately the best places to go on the west side of the U'states. The tour guides were also friendly and always willing to help. However, information given by the tour guide was a littl..e hard to understand or confusing at times. Read full review
I and my wife, aged 62@@plush; undertook package tours of East Coast, West Coast and Orlando. The tours were conducted in good buses with polite and respectful guides. Very good accommodations and daily stress free touring and traveling. Th..e tours are quite economical also and satisfies all the needs of a traveller including those from other countries. I wish Tours4fun all the best and recommend reviewers to book tours with Tours4fun.

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
We would like to give some feedback regarding the tour 7-day tour from LA to Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, San Francisco, tour code USLA2-604. The tour took place from Oct. 20-26 2009. The weekly tour consisted of two parts, guided by two tour g..uides.
We would like to express our gratitude to the second tour guide, Mr. Mark Ma, who took us from LA to Solvang, Hearst Castle, San Francisco and Yosemite national Park. The tour lasted from Oct. 24-26. Mr. Ma is a very professional tour guide, possessing a great deal of knowledge, which he very skillfully presented to the participants of the tour. Mr. Ma is very competent regarding every aspect of the tour: speaking about the history and present situation as well as background information about the sites, showing excellent organizational skills and creating a friendly atmosphere during the whole tour. This includes being of assistance in any necessary way, playing appropriate music which originated from the region and showing nature films about the places visited.
Please give our special thanks to Mr. Ma, who made the tour most enjoyable for us.Read full review
It's more and more difficult to find great hotel discounts to cities I want to visit. So I was very happy to book one of your Los Angeles tours that include hotel accommodations. I had a nice 10 days on the West Coast and the best part of i..t all! IT WAS A GREAT DEAL!Read full review
Traveling with three kids is never easy, but we did it and we had a great time! My husband and I decided it was time to take the kids on vacation for their winter break, so we booked this tour with the theme parks. There was the usual sight..seeing for the adults and fun for the kids. The kids did get fussy on the bus, so I recommend that parents bring snacks and entertainment for the kids on long trips like ours. My youngest enjoyed SeaWorld more than Disneyland, but I think that had something to do with her being afraid of the costumed characters. The drive from location to location sometimes felt long and boring, but it was the best vacation we've taken in years.Read full review
What a fantastic way to spend ten fun-filled days with family and friends by touring these wonderful cities in this tour! I really had a great time, my family absolutely loved Disneyland and I got quite the kick out of the "Indiana Jones Ad..venture" train. My kids loved taking pictures with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. My wife liked Adventure Land very much. Heart Castle was another favourite, and its astonishing collection of art and antiques was wonderful. We all had a good time in San Francisco, and there was so much to do and see. I especially liked seeing the Golden Gate Bridge and Chinatown. Yosemite National Park was very interesting and my wife just loved the waterfalls and being in the middle of nature. I think that by far Las Vegas was my wife's and my favourite destination, we absolutely loved the Masquerade Show in the Sky at the Rio and it was fun to gamble at the slots. My kids couldn't stop talking about the amazing Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam and my wife loved shopping in Barstow. Top it off with Sea World and Universal Studios and WOW! This tour was so much fun for all.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
Seeing these places up close is so much better than watching travel shows about them. Visiting San Francisco was a treat for me. I've been aching to see this city for years. The cruise was okay, but I didn't get to see much of Alcatraz beca..use of the fog. The mission at Santa Barbara was beautiful. I couldn't get enough of the ocean view during the drive! Las Vegas was spectacular. I had so much fun window shopping and gambling. I can't wait to go back. Thanks tours4fun for making this one my best trips ever!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
There really is no city in the United States as charming and as scenic as San Francisco. From the skyline to the Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz Island, there is nowhere like it. The fog over the bay, the cable cars, the sourdough bread, the.. Gridelli Chocolate Factory, Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, Coit Tower, etc., really made the city come alive. The tour was great, the shopping and the sites were beautiful and the restaurants were very nice and welcoming. I simply loved North Beach and the Dungeness crab is delicious! The tour guide was informative and made the tour fun and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend the San Francisco tour to my friends! I love San Francisco and just fall back in love with this city every time I think about it!Read full review
