    We had a very good experience with the Wild West tour. The itinerary was great given the limited time at each location. Special thanks to our tour guides Brenda and Roberto and the driver from LV to LA, whose quick thinking saved us from a 24 hr pile-up.

    We really enjoyed this tour. We got to see a lot that we didn’t even know we should see. Jacob knew what he was talking about during tour and tried to accommodate us in every way possible. He gave us the history the jokes, everything possible. He’s great!

    Asked on January 14th, 2025

    We are interested in booking the tour ,Wild West, at May, 27, 2025. Meanwhile I saw on your USA page, that summer goes from April. Is it correct for the tour. For us it is important to see Yosemite. After arriving at the end in LA we ask after an transport to an hotel near the airport LA. Please tell me , is it ipossible and the price.

    Tour Details
    • Empire VacationsOperatorWritten January 2025

      That is correct between April and October is the summer itinerary so you will be able to enjoy seeing Yosemite. We dont offer any transportation to the airport, our clients usually take an uber from 4Points Sheraton Culver City. We always recommend booking return flights for the following day or if you need to do the same day please book the last flight of the day to avoid stress on the final day of the tour as this tour is designed to return around 10;30PM.
