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
I had a very exciting time on this trip to Universal Studios. It was great to be able to go behind the scenes of some of the most interesting movie and television sets. I loved Water World and my boyfriend couldn't get enough of Terminator ..2:3D- he thought that the special effects were out-of-this-world! My teenage soon just loved Universal's House of Horrors, but I have to say that I preferred Krustyland- the Simpsons Ride. My boyfriend also really like the Revenge of the Mummy ride and the line-ups for the rides went very quickly because we were all so excited! We ate at a very delicious restaurant on the grounds and I loved the great shops, which were found on Universal City Walk. I honestly felt as if there was something for everyone to do at Universal Studios. Our guide was a lot of fun and accompanied single travellers, which I thought was very nice of him.Read full review
My amazing boyfriend surprised me with this tour as a Birthday/Christmas present! I loved every minute in Las Vegas. There was gambling, shopping and touring the Grand Canyon; it was spectacular. The best part's I didn't have to drive. I di..dn't even mind sitting next to strangers on a bus.Read full review
I now know why Disneyland is called "The Happiest Place on Earth"! I really had such a fabulous time on this tour- I am going to tell all my friends to book with tours4fun when I get back to Japan. Our guide was very knowledgeable and frien..dly; he made the trip really one I will always remember. I loved visiting Mickey's Toontown, Splash Mountain and the spinning teacups on the Mad Tea Party Ride! The Disneyland Railroad was also a great way to get from one part of the park to another. I even took my picture with Mickey and Minnie Mouse! Disneyland is not only a place for children although I'm sure they would have a fabulous time as well. I am a 22-year old Japanese woman who had always wanted to see this magical kingdom and I have finally made it! Our tour guide even went on a few rides with me so that I didn't have to go alone. It was a great day that I will always remember.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
It was amazing how much the scenery changed along Interstate 15, you start in Los Angeles where are the hustle and bustle of the big city is, and then you end up in the Mojave Desert- simply incredible. Las Vegas was amazing of course and U..tah was a very interesting state. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys finding out about the United States's diverse regions- its amazing to think that all these places are located in only one country! I also liked the Arches National Park, its stone masterpieces were incredibly beautiful and I think I was able to get some great photos for my scrapbook! I had read about the Crazy Horse Memorial but wasn't prepared for its actual beauty, and Mount Rushmore simply took my breath away! Yellowstone National Park was any nature lovers dream, from the hot springs to the geysers to nature all around you, this was a great experience and one that I will cherish for years to come.Read full review
My kids are still too young to enjoy camping, so we decided on a theme-park tour for its convenience. Theme parks have improved their services since I last visited. At Disneyland, parking the stroller at a ride entrance wasn't as bad as it ..used to be. Universal is more kid-friendly than it used to be. My girls loved Shrek 4-D and The Simpsons Ride. We did have one minor hiccup during our Sea World trip. We had a hard time convincing the girls to walk through the shark exhibit, but they were brave and ended up loving it. We were lucky. If your kid is afraid of dark spaces, I recommend skipping Shark Encounter. After spending the day the park, we went and had a nice family dinner in the Gaslamp Quarter. Overall, we had a fantastic time. This was one of our better vacations.Read full review
My siblings and I enjoyed the theme parks, but we had a blast in Vegas. My brothers really liked The Rockhous' Girls! Girls! Girls! The thought of doing the Skywalk had me freaked out, but the views were the best. The Skywalk is a must for ..anyone visiting the Grand Canyon. Just a word of caution, the bus ride to Las Vegas did not feel leisurely. The bus-ride felt like it was more than four hours, but apparently that's normal.Read full review
I had a good time on this tour although it seemed like the drive was FOREVER from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, but I was very happy to see the shinning lights of the Vegas strip and knew that we had arrived at such a fascinating destination. I.. liked having time on my own to go shopping and to hit the casinos and I really liked the Masquerade Show in the Sky at the Rio Casino- it was very impressive. And what can I say about the Grand Canyon except it was GRAND!!!! I wasn't sure how impressed with it I would be since I am a world traveler but its beauty was incomprehensible until you have seen it with your own eyes- the Skywalk was kind of scary at first, but then I decided to venture out onto it and had a wonderful view all the way down to the Colorado River below my feet! That part is not for the faint of heart! I could have done with more time at the Fashion Outlet Shopping Center and less time at the Chocolate Factory, but the treat at the end was yummy. I will tell my friends about the fun time I had on this trip!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
I have to say that my family liked this tour very much. We appreciated the help of our tour guide. He was very friendly and made our hotel transfer very easy. The first day we went to the Adventure Park, my kids really liked the train ride... We spent the second whole day in Sea World. My wife and kids were very excited and we had a nice time there. The last day we visited Universal Studios. I loved the theme park because I'm a move buff. The only pity was that my wife said that she didn't have time to do some shopping, but for my kids and me the tour was quite good.Read full review
I was kind of skeptical about whether or not I'd be impressed with this tour, but as you drive up the road to the rim of the Grand Canyon, at first you can't really see much, and then WOW! All of a sudden it's right there in front of you. M..y husband, 2 boys and I all let out the same type of reaction at the same time. OH MY GOODNESS! It's truly an unbelievable sight! We hiked down partway and every vista was simply incredible. My sons had a wonderful time and my husband and I have a new appreciation for the vast wonders that the Grand Canyon has to offer. Try the Skywalk, its scary and breathtaking at the same time. The tour really surprised me by how good it actually was.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
