August trip - Well organised but too much driving especially on the 1st day. Yosemite was stunning but again no stops of interest on the way back to LA

Nice arrangements and comfortable tour but hidden cost - Overall the trip was well managed and comfortable and for that I would recommend it but the hidden fee that the tour guide collected while being on board was a bad taste to our mouth. It would be better if all the additional charges are mentioned prior to booking the tour and tipping should not be mandatory for every person in the family. That should be up to the family.

First day is mostly bus... - First day is mostly bus travel to San Francisco arrived at 17 mile And Pebble Beach for our stop then drive to the hotel. Second day is average pretty good in the morning tour. We took the in-depth city tour for the afternoon and paid $45/ person but kinda disappointing because we did not have a chance to see the inside of the church, the capitol and the civic center because they’re closed. China town is not that bad if you really know the place. Third day Yosemite Tour is pretty good l guess but the trip back to LA is long and exhausting. Plus, 5 days after I book this tour saw the price went down more than $100+. ????

Review of this so so tour - Day 1 is uneventful. It's only mostly in the bus going to Sunnyvale in prep for SanFo tour. There's a stopover at Pebble Beach though. Day 2 is the main highlight. You'll have an option here if you want to go to the SF bay cruise or their SF in-depth tour or both. We only chose the SF bay cruise, which was great as we get upclose with golden gate bridge. Tour ends ard 5pm. Day 3 is so-so. Wished that we stayed longer in Yosemite but coz the tour returns in LA, so I guess no choice as well. It's just like you go to El Capitan / Waterfall just to take pics then go back to the bus. Yosemite tour is just like halfday then you're on your way back to LA. Pros: - Many places to go at a short span of time (it's a con as well) - Cheap - The hotels they have chosen for this tour are great. Cons: - You dont have control of how long to stay at a place - Yosemite tour is VERY VERY SHORT. It would be better if you allot 1 whole day for this. Notes: - Depending on where you booked this, there's a mandatory tip for the tour guide and driver of 12usd per day. - Our tour guide is Jordan and he's a native Chinese. If you're non-Chinese, you need to adjust in order for you to understand his English.
