Top California Bus Tours

Our tour guide Alex totally made this tour! He checked in that am to be sure we knew how to contact him if needed if we couldn’t locate him, was SO kind, personable, genuine, helpful, engaged and SO knowledgable about the city! His communication was excellent! Lunch recommendations he made were awesome. We saw so much but never felt rushed! The mini bus was comfortable and he was an excellent driver on the winding, cliff lined roads! We did the add on tour of Alcatraz and would highly recommend it. A walking tour was offered once we arrived to Alcatraz for about 30 mins and the park guide was an amazing story teller. The audio tour included in the Alcatraz tour thru this booking was excellent and headsets were provided despite the Viator agent I contacted prior to our trip saying they were not and that your audio was via private cellphone which was not the case and I was glad. This was not the Viator agents fault. He actually called the Alcatraz venue on my behalf which I thought was above and beyond and was told incorrectly. Thank you Alex! Steve and I so enjoyed meeting you and the wealth of info you provided us!!! Keep up the great job!!!!

It was a fun experience with Patrick our guide. He’s knowledgeable about the tour and funny with jokes at the same time. If he could tone down the jokes a bit and not step over our personal boundary more than once, then he’ll make an excellent tour guide.

We had a really good time with Alberto. He was really knowledgeable and kept us entertained. We were only in town (Anehiem) Sunday to Saturday with Disneyland, Disney California Adventures, and Universal Studios Hollywood booked. We didn't really have time to do much of anything else other than this tour and we got to experience LA and it was great! Highly recommend. I would also recommend being early back to the bus as a courtsey to everyone around you. This makes the trip much smoother. Set an alarm clock for when you need to go back to the bus and go. You will get to see more.

We enjoyed the self guided tour around Lake Tahoe. The information was enjoyable and helpful in our explorations. The history provided was very interesting and also informative. We will definitely use another self guided tour in the future and recommend to others.

Brian was a great guide, sharing his own personal experience and history of North Beach. The food was amazing, best cannoli I’ve ever had, and the sandwiches were so fresh and had great flavor. Truly, a great experience overall and would highly recommend.

Mitch is an outstanding tour guide and driver! He provided us an enjoyable experience in Yosemite and is a fantastic cheerleader for reluctant hikers(I actually made it to see Grizzly Giant Sequoia). He provided regular breaks and opportunities to stretch our legs as well as interesting information about the park. It was a great tour. Now, the room at the Lodge was disappointing—the place badly needs a remodel and update! That’s no fault of the tour company—I requested staying there onsite. Others had a choice of staying offsite. The dining room at the lodge was nice and our filet of beef was delicious. Breakfast in the breakfast/lunch facility was like MCDonalds but not as tasty. There’s a Starbucks there as well with basic choices only. So the natural areas of the park are the highlight and plan to be underwhelmed with accommodations except the dining room!

The bus is beautiful, so if you are into vintage cars or automobiles just in general, you’ll love being on this bus. The tour guide was funny and very knowledgeable about the sites on the tour. He even gave information about the city so if you are looking to move to Avalon, you actually have insider information as to where to start.

The captain knew where to go and was in contact with other boats about what they were seeing. He was great about telling us what side of the boat we needed to be in. And he said we saw an incredible 7 whales on our trip, as well as several groups of dolphins. They had drinks and made burgers available for purchase.
