<br><b>Comments:</b> We like the view in Death Valley. We have been to Yosemite a few times. We are happy that the tour arranged Death Valley. The tour guide speaks English and Chinese. He is very friendly.
This tour takes three buses. The first crew had perfect balance, Chinese and not Chinese participants were satisfied. Second crew driver was not focused, the tour guide always says 10 min to go to and he remains on his cellphone without starting the bus. Also, he leave us 1 hr and 30 min waiting for him after the universal studio day tour and he did not speak English clearly. The third crew was awful, the driver does not help with the luggage and the woman tour guide was not polite at all. None of them has a bathroom stop on their schedule. She was concentrated on her cellphone GPS giving directions to the driver. I asked when we will be arriving to Union Square and she says that she already told my friend with a bad attitude. The selected route was perfect.
