The tour was really fun but jam packed. The tour guide, Kevin was really nice and considerate and other passengers are friendly as well. We stayed in Marriot hotel which was really nice. Pros: Lot of places to go, pee stop every 2 hours, f..riendly tour guide Cons: Early call time, less time in the stops, less time for resting in the hotel the tour are chinese first then translated to english Read full review
We were only four people on tour with the guide. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and gave great reviews of history en route to the park as well as the history of the park. We were provided with personal, professional serv..ices and our guide knew the park very well so we were at the most scenic spots before the bus loads of people came there. The hikes to the different areas made it more memorable. The park itself has breathtaking sceneries. Nature at its best...
Overall I can recommend the tour to prospective visitors.Read full review

We were 13 in the group, all nationalities. Marie our guide were also our driver and She was really great and cool.
We saw a lot of beautiful lanscapes and we were lucky to see 2 bears within 2 days.
The installation in the camp was well ..organised and confortable.
The walking level was just fine and adapted to everybody.
The only point to improve is the meeting point.
I would have appreciate somebody with a sign at the hilton entrance with "tous4fun" on it.
I was worried because nobody showed off at 8.15 am. How can I know that the bus was ours and that " the meeting point" was on Masson street. I was not alone to worry .
A part that all was perfect afterwards. I really enjoyed it and the guide made us feel confortable. We played the trick: 2 truths and 1 lie to make know each other and It was really fun.
Many thanks for this moment.Read full review
"3 day California Express Bus Tour - We enjoyed our tour, it was the highlight of our Californian experience. Saw some wonderful places and enjoyed the lot. Great driver, I always felt safe, our tour guide was friendly, fun and helpful. The.. only negative I would mention was the motel on the second night had no lift, we personally were able to manage our luggage but there were others who may have found it a struggle. Perhaps adding one extra day to the tour would also make it bit more leisurely and not such long distances on day one and day three. Otherwise, FANTASTIC!!"Read full review
Absolutely fabulous trip, a real highlight of our holiday. Our driver Armin was friendly and courteous, I felt safe at all times, lovely coach too. Giovanni our guide/interpreter was friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions an..d go out of his way to assist. We saw some amazing places, breathtaking scenery everywhere we looked. Loved everything! The only improvement I would suggest was to make sure that all hotels had a lift, difficult for some people to get luggage up and down stairs. Highly recommended.Read full review

me and my kids had so much fun. We enjoyed the 3 day tour to San Francisco. it was a great experience .. Vert relaxing and beutiful places .. Tour guide very helful and friendly..
This was an excellent trip. It was an all dayer but well worth the effort. Yosemite national park is such a beautiful park with tall trees and lovely waterfalls. Only disappointment was that we couldn't stay the night and explore more of ..the park the next day. Highly recommend this tour and our tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He also didn't talk too much which is sometimes really annoying on these tours, when you just want to soak up the landscape. Excellent, amazing and a great day! Read full review
86% Excellent tour for people who don't have access to a car of their own

This is a really amazing tour to go on, if you're not from around the United States, don't have a car of your own or don't want to use a rental car. The California coast is really gorgeous and this tour more or less captures all the major a..ttractions and highlights! There might be some problems understanding the guide's English, if you're a non-Mandarin speaker, but the guide is really friendly and accommodating. The transportation is pretty decent, the accommodation is top-notch and there are plenty of options for food. Overall, a great experience, for a short 3 day trip in Northern California!

We really enjoyed our tour with tours for fun! The tour was well organized with a lot of the stops in San Fran that I would have wanted to go to and then some. Leo was our tour guide and he allowed for flexibility in the schedule for my fri..end and I to partake in our own adventures. Leo also told us a lot about the areas we were visiting.
We lucked out in that we were able to score tickets to Alcatraz on such a late notice however for other people interested in doing alcatraz tours this may not be the case. My major problem with tours for fun is that they were unable to provide me with a more detailed schedule for the San Francisco tour day and I was unable to purchase Alcatraz tickets in advance because I didn't know when free time would begin. I understand that times are flexible due to traffic etc... but there was no time even suggested for us to attempt purchasing tickets.
***(People interested in ALCATRAZ)This may help future people on this tour. If the tour runs on the schedule we were on it would be safe to book a tour at 12:30pm (we just made it at the 12pm one but that was in the off season). To do this you would be opting out of the optional bay cruise and optional extended city tour (your fellow tour friends are on these tours while you are at alcatraz). When you get dropped off at fishermans warf for lunch you depart the tour group and go right (north) up the coast to pier 33 (about 10min walk).Take your lunch on the alcatraz tour boat on the way there (they have giant sandwiches!) You will probably spend about 2hours on the island to see it all but its possible to do it quicker if you are pressed for time (we saw it all in two hours at a slow pace). On this schedule you will have till 4pm to rejoin our tour group at city hall. You can hangout around fishermans warf or go shopping for awhile and take a taxi to city hall (10min ride). or take a bus/trolley (20min ride but I would give yourself at least an hour for this because of walking time). A trolley is the way to go though in san fran so take the powell/market or powell/mason trolley (can't remember the exact name) it will take you from near fishermans warf to a few blocks from city hall. Ride the trolley from end to end. Ask the friendly trolley drivers if you need help!
I was also a bit disappointed at how little of the 17mile scenic route we saw (it felt like we were on it for less than 2miles and we didn't stop at any lookout points to get off the bus. IF you are sitting on the wrong side of the bus you barely see anything except pebble beach golf course. The stop at Monterey bay made up for it though. We chose not to go in the aquarium and instead we walked down the beach. It is so peaceful and beautiful there. This is the first place we encountered sea lions beached out.
Our last day we opted to do disneyland and we got split up from our group (should have known this but we were a bit unprepared). Be prepared for your luggage to be stored on a shuttle that does not stay anywhere near you. Tours for fun was trustworthy with our baggage but they recommend not leaving anything valuable. I know u will have to leave something valuable because taking it to a themepark also is a bad idea so just lock your bags. The tour through the themepark was guided but we again opted to go our own way and honestly its the fastest way if you do not speak Chinese because everything will then have to be translated/repeated.
OVERALL- I enjoyed the experience! Staff members were always friendly and helpful even when we were a bit diva-ish about making it the best trip ever! The convenience of the tour was worth the price. However I am not sure if missed experiences would be worth the convenience. There were opportunities for experiences and experiences that could have been missed due to the tour schedule. Therefore going your own way via rental car etc.could be more desirable.
Also the hotels they set you up in are all pretty nice :) and that was even with a super-saver package. For food they take you to areas where there are a lot of different options. Even though most guests go to Chinese buffet there are pizza places or wendy's etc for options.I recommend bringing a plethora of breakfast bars, granola bars and also drinks in your day bag. Since meals do not always come as soon as you want them and breakfast pretty much doesn't get done at all (we had to meet with our tour at 6:20am so i wasn't eating before that lol).
Thank you tours for fun! We will recommend you and consider you for future tour needs!

I booked a tour with Tours4Fun for a 3 day Grand Canyon West Rim and West Coast tour. The service I received from the representatives was excellent. They answered all of my questions and made me feel confident in taking this tour. This was ..my first time ever taking a tour and visiting the Grand Canyon so naturally I was nervous and not sure what to expect. The tour guide provided great service and also answered any additional questions I had while on tour. I would definitely recommend booking with Tours4Fun!Read full review
