My fiance and I had such a wonderful time on this tour. Instead of the popular Disneyland, we decided to opt for California Adventure Park- since both my fiance and I had been to Disneyland as kids. But we really had the chance to be kids a..t the Adventure Park! There were many interesting programs and the 3D cinema had to be one of the highlights of the trip. It was a great way to spend the afternoon! The next day we were off to Sea World- which we both really thoroughly enjoyed. I loved seeing the ocean-dolphins and the whales and we took some great pictures. It was fun to race down Shipwreck Rapids and it was another day where we left the troubles of being an adult behind and had the time of our lives. Universal Studios was better than I imagined and our hotel rooms were always clean and comfortable. I would recommend this tour to all my friends, especially those with kids.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
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
