Tour was great. Our guide Tom Twan?was excellent. Making sure everyone had a great time. Hotel was not the best. Buffet for both lunch n brunch offered same menu. Disappointing.
The first tour I have with Tours4Fun was really great. Things were explained in multilanguage but whatever was explained in Spanish was not exactly translated in English which we found out in the second tour. We were also taken to a spot wh..ere we can have our lunch or dinner but we were not given coupons for food that Indian people can also have. I'm neutral about this experience and I will have to think if I would take another tour with them depending if it's going to be Hindi or it's going to be a lumped tour.Read full review
"We were planning a holiday a couple of years ago and that's when I found Tours4Fun and used them from that time. Their costs are good which made us decide to choose them over other travel sites. We booked online and went from there. When w..e went to Las Vegas, they kept asking us for additional charges for each place that we would want to go to. Why didn't they make it clear in the brochure that these places are extra from the beginning? I understand some people don't want to go so why should they pay? Then maybe in their brochure, they could have two prices. For example - this price is with the Grand Canyon, this price is without Grand Canyon. This is something that they could look into and clarify because sometimes, we don't carry that much cash with us. I recommend them despite having some changes that they could do in their brochures or in their presentation. They are very good, on time, efficient and courteous. They are really very good value for money. Though I wish they speak a little more English because they will spend like ten minutes explaining things in Chinese and then take half minute in English and that's it. They need to balance it there."Read full review
This was our first tour and it was perfect the view at the grand canyon is beautiful.Thanks to Chester our tour guide.He is so helpful.I wondering if you guys have tours to Yosemite park? thank you again.
"Whatever questions I had, the Tours4Fun agent was able to answer, and whatever purchases I had to make was a pretty smooth affair. I was able to book the tickets and whatever I needed for the San Diego tour. The tour was nice and the whole.. experience was pleasurable. I hope they keep up the good work."Read full review
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!

Generally Good. We enjoy it. The guide - Austin was a bit bossy though.
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
This tour has a lot to offer. It was so much fun! Our tour guide made this trip so easy for us and made jokes.

It was co..ol. Read full review
Taking this tour was one of the best experiences I have had! This was my first time visiting the Grand Canyon and was not sure what to expect. Our tour guide Frank made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Frank provided us with information.. at every sightseeing stop we made and made sure all of our questions were answered. When we arrive at the canyon we had 4 hours of free time to explore the canyon on our own. The food provided was delicious, not to mention we had an amazing view while we ate. We arrived back to the hotel with plenty of time to explore and sight see on our own. Having been to Las Vegas a number of times I am glad I still participated in the Las Vegas night tour. We visited Old Town Las Vegas and it was full of life and something I would have never seen if I were travelling alone. Overall, I had a great time and completely recommend this tour!Read full review
