Great tour experiencing...

KhalidAhmadQadimAh_A, Feb 2026
Great tour experiencing guide stay was good Very well managed and organised We had a great time and value for money and alll places mentioned were very well covered

This tour takes you to the most fantastic places

Rebecca_S, Oct 2024
My partner and I recently completed the 7 Days tour of the California Coast, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion Park. The tour overall was fantastic. The bus was neat and comfortable, the locations were all stunning and the guides all were very knowledgeable and friendly. Special shout out to Brenda and Lorenzo who were both excellent guides who clearly love what they do and love shearing all these amazing places with people. Considering the price of this tour, the hotels for the most part were great. My biggest issue with them was that the hallways and rooms in some of the hotels stank of smoke or had other foul smelly orders to them. My main vote for 4 stars for this tour was not the tour itself but actually lack of communication from the tour company prior to the tour taking place. Aside from getting a booking confirmation I received no further emails from the tour company. Having done similar tours with other companies before this was a bit of red flag as you would normally receive some sort of communication emails leading up to the trip. Due to this, I was not even sure that this tour was real and if the bus would even turn up to the meet point. I was very glad that it did, however I can suggest to make future customers more at ease providing some more correspondence before the trip would be beneficial. Despite this, I would recommend Empire Vactions and I would tour with them again should I find myself back in the USA.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Rebecca, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We’re thrilled that you and your partner enjoyed exploring the California Coast, iconic landmarks, and stunning national parks with us. It’s wonderful to hear that Brenda and Lorenzo’s passion and expertise made your experience even more memorable! We’re pleased the tour, bus comfort, and most hotels met your expectations, though we apologize for any issues with the accommodations. We are addressing this with our hotel partners to ensure every stay is enjoyable. We also regret that our pre-tour communication fell short and understand how important that reassurance is. We want every guest to feel well-prepared, and I’d like to emphasize that we’re available 24/7 for any questions or assistance. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re actively working to enhance this aspect of our service. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing us for your adventure. We look forward to welcoming you back on another journey soon! Warm regards, Giulia

Great tour but……..

Kathy_W, Sep 2024
Lack if organisation to start the trip, people moved out of their seats several times to accommodate translators. Surely this could have been mapped out prior to boarding the coaches. We finally set off only to pull over in a car park (one of many) about an hour out of LA. 2 changes of coaches and a 2 hour wait for a new coach as the door was broken. Several arguments between drivers and tour guides, then an argument on the coach with a fellow traveller and staff member when she refused to change seats again. Then the coach broke down on the freeway, where we were stranded on the side of the road for a further 2 hours in fairly extreme heat. Compensation…pizza and a drink on the bus after a further wait in another car park. The first day on the road was a gruelling 17 hours, arriving at our motel at 1130 at night. All the scenery we saw was absolutely fabulous, although too much time was taken on the guide taking photos for the group and other random people. Change of guides and driver from Vegas to Zion. Thank you to the wonderful Mark Skinner our guide. Mark was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, going out of his way to add an extra experience when Bryce Canyon was closed due to inclement weather. Antelope Canyon was a highlight for me, absolutely stunning! Mark left us on our return to Las Vegas and the final trip back to LA. Sadly we were left in care of a rather nasty tour guide who was refusing to drop off the passengers who were disembarking from the farmers market at LA. More arguments between her and other staff, who were trying to reason with her and explain the trip was about the passengers not her! She reluctantly took us to our final destination when the one remaining translator got off at the first stop at LA., which caused another argument when he refused to get back on the coach, he was jumping up and down on the sidewalk saying it wasn’t his job to escort the remaining passengers to the end destination. All in all the destinations we visited were fantastic, most of the hotels were comfortable, although many were reminiscent of the corridors in the movie The Shining. Thank you to the Navajo Nation for accomodating us. This company needs to have a good look at who they employ because some are giving you a bad name

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Kathy, Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback about your experience. We are truly sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your trip, especially with the delays, and the unfortunate interactions with one guide. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and I want to assure you that your concerns are being taken seriously. It’s clear that the start of the trip did not go as smoothly as it should have, and the delay and seating issues were frustrating. We understand how important a well-coordinated experience is, and we will be reviewing our processes to prevent such issues in the future. Mechanical problems, while unpredictable and rare, are usually handled communication and care, and we sincerely apologize for the wait and discomfort. I’m glad to hear that despite these challenges, you still enjoyed the stunning scenery and had positive experiences with Mark, who went out of his way to ensure you enjoyed Zion and Antelope Canyon. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to him. However, we are concerned about the issues you encountered with other staff members and the disagreements you witnessed. This is not reflective of our commitment to providing a smooth and enjoyable journey, and we will be addressing these matters directly with the individuals involved. We appreciate your feedback on the accommodations as well, and we will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our offerings. Thank you also for your kind words about the Navajo Nation—they are truly wonderful hosts, and we’re grateful they made part of your experience memorable. Please know that we value your input and are committed to learning from this to ensure future trips run more smoothly. We hope that despite these challenges, you’ll give us another opportunity to provide you with the experience you deserve. Warm regards, Roie

My San Francisco to all the CANYONS IN UTAH

Shakun_R, Oct 2023
I had the most beautiful and interesting trip to all the awesome places here in California. The tour guides Lorenzo and Roberto we're great and fun and informative. My favourite was Lorenzo,he made my trip exciting, incredible and heavenly by taking us through the history of the places and of the country past. He was my great photographer cause I was traveling alone. The Drivers were excellent. Thank you guys you the best. The help assistant and caring by the employees on tour , all of them were excellent. Love you guys. Viator thank you for organising such a platform. Made it safe for me as a single woman of 60 to travel in another country safely. Also all the hotels were wonderful and clean and accommodated all my wants and needs.im well and happy and most definitely will share and come back and always travel on tours with you cause I now done 7 tours with you in weeks and a half weeks, 💓 bye see u soon .

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hi Shakun Thank you for such a wonderful review We are glad that you enjoyed yoru tour to San Francisco, Yosemite, Las Vegas and Zion National Park, and that our team made this experience memorable for you We look forward to hosting you again Stephanie Empire Vacations

Excellent tour and great value for money.

Kushantha_G, May 2023
I was solo travelling solo. The 7 day tour is actually a composite of 3 tours ( LA to San Fransisco and Yosemite, transportation to LV with overnight stay , LV to Grand Canyon , Antelope, Bryce canyons , Zion park and back to LA). Roberto was the main guide and he was excellent and was very well organised. He was ably assisted by few other guides including Michael Hansel who acted as interpreters to the diverse group of global travellers in the party. We travelled comfortably in a a big tour bus with wifi facilities. The accommodations provided were excellent. Overall, the sense of organisation and the attention to detail was highly impressive. The trip obviously involves long distance travel hence the time spent on each location was rather limited but this was inevitable to cover all the highlights of the tour. It was a travel product with great value for money even with a single traveller supplement cost. I would highly recommend this tour for those who have a limited time but wish to see many attractions from the west coast.

Response from Host, May 2023

Hello Thank you so much for your review We are glad that you enjoyed your tour and that Roberto and the rest of the team did an excellent job to make this experience even more memorable than you imagined We look forward to hoting you soon Stephanie Empire Vacations

Gran tour

Maria_I, Aug 2024
Tour muy completo que aúna tener una visión completa de la costa Oeste (ciudades y naturaleza) y no disponer de muchos días. Evidentemente eso se traduce en madrugar... Los días tienen 24 horas. Conductores muy profesionales. Gran parte del éxito de un tour radica en el guía. En nuestro caso no pudimos tener una mejor. Brenda es excepcional. Gran profesional y excelente persona. La entrada en San Francisco siempre estará en mi recuerdo. Gracias! La única pega es que los hoteles están fuera del centro urbano.

Expérience incroyable, extrêmement satisfait !

Tony_P, Mar 2024
La prise en charge a été remarquablement simple, avec un rendez-vous à l’hôtel. L’organisation a été rapide et efficace, avec une répartition claire en deux groupes et un transport en bus ou en van pendant toute la durée du voyage. Les arrêts fréquents ont été bienvenus. En termes de rapport qualité-prix, le tour valait chaque centime, surtout compte tenu de la commodité de tout être organisé pour nous. Les hôtels étaient de bonne qualité, la plupart proposant un petit-déjeuner inclus. Les destinations étaient tout simplement spectaculaires, offrant une expérience dépaysante et inoubliable pour des voyageurs français comme nous. Nous sommes profondément reconnaissants à toute l’équipe pour avoir illuminé notre voyage de ces moments magiques. De plus, nous recommandons aux voyageurs européens de prévoir un peu d’argent de poche pour les pourboires, car cela est très apprécié aux États-Unis. C’est une pratique courante et bien vue, et cela contribue à apprécier pleinement l’hospitalité et le service exceptionnels que nous avons rencontrés tout au long de notre voyage. Merci encore pour cette expérience mémorable !

Response from Host, Apr 2024

"Merci pour votre retour enthousiaste ! Nous sommes heureux que l'organisation, les hôtels, et les destinations aient rendu votre voyage exceptionnel. Votre conseil sur les pourboires est précieux pour les voyageurs en visite aux États-Unis. Merci pour votre reconnaissance et vos recommandations. Nous espérons vous revoir pour de nouvelles aventures !"

Fantastiskt!!!

Ett perfekt sätt att göra California på 7 dagar. Mycket bra guider som visade och berättade väldigt mycket. Trevligt med deltagare från hela världen! Helt ok hotell, men blandad standard. En intensiv resa med tidig avresa många dagar.
