Trip review

The tour guide did a very good job considering our group was bilingual. We did spend a lot of time traveling, but the bus was comfortable. The accommodations were questionable for the most part- at one hotel, there were roaches, at another hotel they used some sort of air freshener that was pervasive and with asthma not a good experience. With no meals, fast food is your option. More information should be provided about your itinerary and the types of hotels you should expect to stay in. It would also be helpful to know that each stop is strictly time regulated and there’s no opportunity for souvenir shopping at the majority of the stops.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We would like to address the concerns you raised in your review.​ Our tour is designed to follow the published itinerary, and our guide confirmed that all scheduled stops were completed as planned. Additionally, because there were senior guests in the group, extra time was provided at several stops to ensure everyone could move at a comfortable pace.The locations included in the itinerary offer a wide variety of restaurants and food choices, allowing guests to select according to their own preferences and schedule. Due to the travel schedule, lunch stops are not designed for extended sit-down meals of one and a half to two hours. However, dinner time is more flexible and allows guests to enjoy a more leisurely meal. We appreciate your understanding of these practical constraints. We would like to clarify that souvenir shops were available at several major stops, including Mount Rushmore and Old Faithful in Yellowstone. Many guests on the tour were able to purchase souvenirs at these locations. We are very concerned to learn about the issues you described regarding the hotel conditions, including the presence of roaches and the strong air freshener. Please kindly note that no such issues were reported to the guide during the tour. We strongly encourage our guests to inform the guide or contact our team immediately if any problem arises, as this allows us to address the issue on the spot and, where possible, arrange a room change or contact the hotel directly. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

The Claritan Hotel and the hotel out on the road was not good. The hotels for the other nights were very good.

Better than expected.

Rest up before you go. Lots of great sights and bus ride. Modest accommodations but all clean. Our guide put great effort to share with we three English speaking while informing the 20 in Mandarin. Chris the guide and Jay our driver get A+. The reason for the trip was the sights that were A++. Even the massive countryside as Jay had us on the most timely route but not very much boring interstate.

Excellent tour well worth the cost

Excellent tour on a nice, comfortable bus. The tour guide, Rebecca, was very knowledgeable and spoke two languages throughout the tour. The tour has shown us incredible sights in many states (UT, MT, ID, WY, SD). The bus drivers have driven very long distances, which would have been a very tiresome trip if I were doing the same trip with a rental car. We stayed at 4 hotels, all moderate-rated hotels, Inns, and motels. Restaurants are close to the places where we stayed. Rebecca has recommended decent places with good food and prices (overall prices are generally cheaper compared to the Northeast coast). We got to see Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, etc. I strongly recommend this trip if you want to go to places that are hard to get to. Worry-free, good tour.

Terrible comms, Chinese tour, not enough time at each sight

Things you need to know before booking: 1. This is a Chinese 'tour'. I had a Chinese 'tour guide' and all the other tourists on the bus bar one (who was Japanese) were Chinese 2. The 'tour guide' is basically just a driver who will take you to each location 3. Our guide kept forgetting to speak in English so other tourists translated from Chinese so I knew the next timing 4. I didn't get to all of the places listed in the itinerary & didn't get the listed time at each location so it was quite rushed 5. These are long days & long drives between locations. Up to 5.5 hrs at a time 6. There is no bathroom on the bus; it stopped approx every 2hrs though some of those stops are just a bathroom in the middle of nowhere 7. It took me about 3hrs just to get the time & location to board the bus on the first full day - the final answer was 07:30

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are so sorry that you are not satisfied with the services you received. Although we found that other customers did not have this feedback, we will still listen to your suggestions and improve the service quality immediately.

Great value-packed so many sights in the 4 days of travel!

Seeing the scheduled sights was a great value for the price. All but one hotel was good. The 14 passenger bus was difficult to get in and out of due to high steps for some passengers. Should have a foldable step stool.
