What people love about USA Tours from San Francisco
- Gold Experience – 6 Days
Very nice tour allowing to see many places in only a couple days! Nice guides and nice groups who change in the middle of the trip (mix tours)! I was traveling alone and this tour was great to meet people and to discover wonderful places!
- Magnificent West - 7 Days
Excellent trip. There was a lot of driving but it was worth it. We had excellent guides with information that wasn't listed on the website. There was a lot of driving but many stops to break that up. I have been on a number of tours in America and Europe and found the hotels on this tour to much nicer than in the past. The tours of Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon were nothing less than SPECTACULAR. The guides on the bus and at the sites were more than knowledgeable. The bus was top of the line. I have already spread the name of this company to friends and family. Next year I will be looking for my next trip with this company. Judy Lockie, Ontario, Canada.
- Yosemite Escape Camping - 3 Days
3 Days aren‘t enough. If you‘re there everything is so peacefull and breathtaking!!
