What people love about Central California Tours
- Yosemite Escape Camping - 3 Days
I went to visit the west coast for a few weeks from Ireland and took in lots of different tours and trips. This tour was by far the highlight of my trip. The scenery was amazing obviously but the way we wrre guided by Kate was right up there. She was so considerate, knowledgeable and patient. Also so much fun, she really made the tour for me. Such a cool girl. Have mentioned inca specially to all my friends living in SF because of how much better the trip was due to Kate.
- Western Triangle - Los Angeles Airport
Overall our family had a great experience The tour guides were nice and helpful , our second tour guide Gratyana was especially very knowledgeable and organized and gave equal explanations in all 3 languages The hotel booked in Vegas , as to the Luxor could get a better option with atleast a coffee machine or a water cooker in the room Some of the important points within a city were always only in the Optional tour and not in the core programme . Atleast it should be seen to it that the top 5 attractions in a city were included within the core program even if it calls for revising the core prices Wake-up alarms at hotels were not necessary as we had our own alarms and were thought to be a forceful imposed botheration ?
- California's Great National Parks (8 Days)
Food service was compromised the entire trip due to limited available services due to COVID. lAll accommodations' were very good except for initial night in Las Vegas, terrible hotel. Overall my experience was good not excellent.
