What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in USA
- 3 Day Southwest USA National Parks Tour from Las Vegas
An excellent active week covering all the wonderful locations in the vast canyons in Utah Nevada and Arizona. Top rate entertaining guide John , giving information advice added to a faultless informative week. Cannot rate it any higher and would/will recommend it to family and friends
Magnificent West - 8days is truly magnificent travel!!! Our tour guides sir Jacob and mam Patricia were very caring to us travelers, and yes! excellently knowledgeable on all the tourist/scenic spots that we have visited. With regard to the itinerary, it was perfect as well. How the tour guide managed our daily schedules were incredibly amazing and thus, I and my son are grateful because we really had fun and we enjoyed every single day during the travel. Sir Jacob and Mam Patricia were also reasonably strict (but very kind) in engaging with every traveler's punctuality which made this travel, a very wonderful one! I would highly recommend this travel package to my friends who want to experience the West. Thank you so much Tour Radar! Nel & Nikko
Magnificent West – 8 days
I had a blast on the LA to the Bay tour in February 2017. Our tour leader Rachel and bus driver Markus were awesome people who loved to party with us and had good advice. There weren't any optional inclusions I did that I didn't enjoy. My favourites were the speedboats in San Diego, the hot air balloons and included Champagne in Scottsdale and the Jeep ride in Sedona. We didn't get to fly over the Grand canyon or really see the Hollywood sign (lucky I saw it the day before the tour) but we all enjoyed hiking down into the canyon for a few hours instead. I think we were lucky to have a really awesome group of people, not without our fair share of drama, mostly Australians but everyone was down to party and do as much as possible. I went with my gut and didn't do Cirque du Soleil or the Golden Gate bike tour. The first one I had read bad reviews of and the second one was plagued by bad weather. Bad weather was one of the main things that dampened the trip (the fog over the canyon was why our helicopter was cancelled) but because I made friends with some awesome people (who I still see all the time in Australia) we had fun regardless. I would recommend this tour to anyone because you smash so much out of the way in an amount of time that is not too short or too long. Some of my favourite memories are the room party we had with our $10 walmart liquor in Grand canyon, watching the bellagio fountain show with pizza in vegas, visiting the san diego zoo and the USS midway, snowmobiling and the hot tub in lake tahoe, the china town dinner in san francisco, meeting a lady singing opera in the grand canyon, chasing birds on venice beach, and drunkenly laughing at a hand dryer in little tokyo. My best friend and I made vlogs that you can watch if you search for "usa with bae + bae" on youtube. I did finish the tour quite sick and voiceless. My only things I hated were skiing (it was my first time and it is so exhausting and painful) and that we didn't spend enough time in San Francisco or book Alcatraz far enough in advance to see it. You've gotta book at least three weeks in advance. I wish Alcatraz was included in the tour but it isn't. If I could do it all again I probably wouldn't drink as much ;) #noregrets (cause in Vegas the price varies from $4 a drink to $20 :o )

Good views and information throughout." Itineraries often feature special activities like Navajo-guided jeep tours in Monument Valley and boat rides near the Golden Gate Bridge.
How much free time do I have to explore independently on a coach tour in USA?
USA coach tours typically offer 2-3 hours of independent exploration time in major cities such as San Francisco Las Vegas and Los Angeles. In Las Vegas visitors can spend free afternoons enjoying attractions shows or shopping after morning tours. A TourRadar reviewer shares: "Overall I enjoyed the tour however a few stops could have been longer or better timed especially the stop in Santa Barbara." Select tours include full free days in key locations with stays at central hotels like the Alex Johnson Hotel in Rapid City.
