Compre el tour de 6 dias a Yellowstone, todo estuvo perfecto, el bus y el guia. Lo recomiendo

Our family recently took a 7-day Take Tours package to visit various US national parks in mid-May 2017. The tour started in LA with some of the tour members picked up in Las Vegas. Tour ended in Salt Lake City with the option to go back to Las Vegas/LA for an extra charge. We were fortunate to have a good female tour guide, Diana, who spoke in Mandarin & English, and our driver, Ruben, was a safe driver. We joined this tour with some trepidation, esp after reading all the reviews online. But what really motivated us to go was the fact that this tour was a comprehensive one covering more national parks than any of the other tours offered. Optional tours initially cost US$100/person but a cable car up in Jackson, WY was added for US$20 each. The tour guide provided all of us sufficient information/guidance on each of our tour stops and rest stops as well as how long our day would be, where to dine, and what to prepare for the next day's tour. We would wake up at 5 am each day to leave the hotel (after breakfast) at 6 am and at times arrive at our next hotel between 7:30 to 8:30 pm. On our tour, we were able to see Glen Canyon Dam/Lake Powell, Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Glenwood Springs, Rocky Mountains, Crazy Horse Memorial, Mt Rushmore, Devil's Tower, Yellowstone National Park (one afternoon and the following morning), Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole, WY, and Salt Lake City. At Arches, we didn't get to see the main attraction as we were told that it was a long drive going there. At Yellowstone, we also missed the main attraction, Mammoth Springs, as the road going north was under construction although we found out the next day that the other road from the west entrance was open but we ended up going to the West Thumb Geyser Basin nearby on an early chilly morning instead. Anyway, it would have been nice if we did but it wasn't a big deal esp if you've been driving for so long. Other than these, we were given sufficient time to enjoy each stop. Of the 48 tour members, a family of 4 Americans, 2 Canadians, 3 Filipinos, and mostly Chinese from the US, Vietnam, mainland China, & HK were with us. All were well behaved and followed instructions from the tour guide throughout the trip so I would say we had a great tour. There was only one incident that marred our first day when a Chinese couple were not picked up promptly at the Las Vegas airport for some time and the upset husband yelled at the tour guide twice (though no fault of hers) creating some scene. Fortunately, he cooled down and behaved the rest of the time. Tips to the driver & guide were pegged at US$8/per day per person. Most of the hotels we stayed at were 2-1/2 to 3 stars. Good enough for a night's stay in each place. Only 3 bkfasts were provided. Our hotel for Yellowstone was in West Yellowstone in Montana which was only 1-1/2*, I think. While it was newly renovated, it did not have any of the usual amenities (microwave, fridge, coffee maker) which was difficult since we had to buy groceries to prepare for bkfast the next morning. So no fridge to store our groceries, no coffeemaker and no heating capability. A total of 9 states (incl CA if one started in LA) were visited and over 3,500 miles logged on this tour. Take Tours (and Tours4Fun and others), I learned, is just an agent for CTour Holidays or Westcoast Holidays, for that matter.

Just a few days back took the TAKETOUR package --3 day to Niagara, DC, and Philidelphia from NY.( during a short visit to US). A well organised tour, a comfortable bus, with a non intrusive tour guide in the form of Ms Cecelia, and a well kept schedule ---- A beautiful experience in sight seeing. Covered Secret Caves, Niagara by night, Old fort at Niagara, some specific points n the river, Maid of mist, Corning glass facility and White house, Capitol hill, Lincoln memorial, Vietnam and Korean memorial and Musuem of Aerospace ---Imagine all these in one trip and ending with Independence hall and the Liberty Bell across the Delaware river in Philidelphia. Great job.. Thorough professionals ...No waiting for tickets ..Don't have second thoughts for taking their tours
