What people love about West Coast USA Tours from Los Angeles
- California Panorama
This trip was a great time!! I made new friends that I hope to have for a lifetime! Only a few minor issues here and there, but overall this was a great trip and I would book again!
- Wild West – 5 days
Overall, fantastic tour. Our tour guide Jacob was excellent, very knowledgeable and helpful. However, the hotel on third night was mediocre at best ( we had to spend the whole night on a smoke filled room, that after having changed from another even worse room. I thought all the hotel rooms are no smoking zones). I hope the company can improve on that for future tours. Apart from that, it was a truly memorable tour. Highly recommended.
- California Express - 3 Days
the tour was very well organized, the tour guides were great!
