    Well planned tour with nice hotels, comfy beds, quiet rooms. The first two days in San Francisco, Sausalito and Yosemite were the best! We saw everything and it was beautiful. The two days in Vegas were not my scene but the beds in Harrah’s hotel were a dream. Route 66 and Sedona were fun but I was sick of the bus by the time we did Monument Valley then started the return home the next day. It was great being in a group. Everyone was really friendly and the guides and driver were so kind.
