West Coast USA Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Wild West
Its was a very good trip. Our guide pasquale was awesome and had good knowledge about every place that we visited. He made the trip more entertaining. The only problem was the accommodation in stevenson ranch which was not good as it was a motel and was very old. Also they didnt include california cost line which was mentioned in the trip.
- Northern California
Great trip with Trafalgar tours@
This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Yosemite is incredible and we got to see so much of it! This tour is an extremely efficient and stress free way to see everything
