The tour was excellent. The tour guide was very cooperative and friendly. He took all efforts to make the tour a memorable. We could see the hidden treasuries of American national parks. My score for the trip as well as Guide is 10 out of 10.

I had a really great experience on this tour. Kevin communicated with us in both Mandarin and English and was extremely knowledgeable about the canyons we visited. He was also very friendly and accommodating throughout the trip, always making sure everyone was comfortable and was happy to answer any questions. The itinerary was well planned and his directions were easy to follow. Harry, our bus driver, was also very nice and helped make the long drives feel safe and comfortable. Overall, it was a really enjoyable tour and I would definitely recommend it.

This is our second bus tour. This time, we had taken five day Washington DC, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Boston, New York tour. Our tour guide, Judy, was very well informed, great communications about pickup and drop off. Judy ensured that stops were planned at regular intervals for convenience of customers. Just felt that NY city (every thing) was covered within 6 hours which i felt little short. Could have given more time for New York City tour and walking tour.
