Recently I experienced a most amazing breathtaking adventure going with my daughter Evelina to a 7 day tour with Viator guides... The tour was brilliantly organized and performed through efforts of such outstanding talented guides as Roberto and Lorenzo. Also the drivers and the rest of the interpretors team. Roberto surrounded us, tourists, with his special warm attention, care and comfort; Lorenzo picked up our spirit to the level of heaven and carried us in heavenly blissful mood during our several days trips to grandiose canyons and valleys, monumental parks and historic routes! His romantic admiration of natural wonders couldn't leave untouched anybody's soul! His wonderful performance was amplified with impressive American and Italian signature songs that would carry everyone in bliss during our long bus drive... Everyone was excited and inspired! It takes certain talent, mood and deep knowledge to organize everything into one masterpiece tour - that was our impression of Lorenzo' s performance... I am very grateful to our guides and drivers who were working so hard and non stop to make all of us feel comfortable and joyful! Thanks to the Viator organizers, Diana Belinska Atlanta, GA

I had the most beautiful and interesting trip to all the awesome places here in California. The tour guides Lorenzo and Roberto we're great and fun and informative. My favourite was Lorenzo,he made my trip exciting, incredible and heavenly by taking us through the history of the places and of the country past. He was my great photographer cause I was traveling alone. The Drivers were excellent. Thank you guys you the best. The help assistant and caring by the employees on tour , all of them were excellent. Love you guys. Viator thank you for organising such a platform. Made it safe for me as a single woman of 60 to travel in another country safely. Also all the hotels were wonderful and clean and accommodated all my wants and needs.im well and happy and most definitely will share and come back and always travel on tours with you cause I now done 7 tours with you in weeks and a half weeks, 💓 bye see u soon .

I was solo travelling solo. The 7 day tour is actually a composite of 3 tours ( LA to San Fransisco and Yosemite, transportation to LV with overnight stay , LV to Grand Canyon , Antelope, Bryce canyons , Zion park and back to LA).
Roberto was the main guide and he was excellent and was very well organised. He was ably assisted by few other guides including Michael Hansel who acted as interpreters to the diverse group of global travellers in the party. We travelled comfortably in a a big tour bus with wifi facilities. The accommodations provided were excellent. Overall, the sense of organisation and the attention to detail was highly impressive. The trip obviously involves long distance travel hence the time spent on each location was rather limited but this was inevitable to cover all the highlights of the tour. It was a travel product with great value for money even with a single traveller supplement cost. I would highly recommend this tour for those who have a limited time but wish to see many attractions from the west coast.

Went on this tour and it's worth every penny spent. The tour guides were very informative and knowledgeable. We had to change guides and buses once we started off our 4th day of the tour.
The first part covers more of the Californian coastal towns of Santa Barbara and Solvang. Next is the city tour of San Francisco - City Hall, Chinatown and a cruise to the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatras. Las Vegas comes alive with its nightlife and spectacular views.
The second part of the tour brings us spectacular rock formations at three different famed locations in Arizona and Utah. Also took a boat cruise of Lake Powell.
Overall, we are privileged to view the coastal as well as the desert landscapes during this tour. Kudos to the tour operator for such a memorable trip.

La prise en charge a été remarquablement simple, avec un rendez-vous à l’hôtel. L’organisation a été rapide et efficace, avec une répartition claire en deux groupes et un transport en bus ou en van pendant toute la durée du voyage. Les arrêts fréquents ont été bienvenus. En termes de rapport qualité-prix, le tour valait chaque centime, surtout compte tenu de la commodité de tout être organisé pour nous. Les hôtels étaient de bonne qualité, la plupart proposant un petit-déjeuner inclus. Les destinations étaient tout simplement spectaculaires, offrant une expérience dépaysante et inoubliable pour des voyageurs français comme nous. Nous sommes profondément reconnaissants à toute l’équipe pour avoir illuminé notre voyage de ces moments magiques. De plus, nous recommandons aux voyageurs européens de prévoir un peu d’argent de poche pour les pourboires, car cela est très apprécié aux États-Unis. C’est une pratique courante et bien vue, et cela contribue à apprécier pleinement l’hospitalité et le service exceptionnels que nous avons rencontrés tout au long de notre voyage. Merci encore pour cette expérience mémorable !

Definitivamente uno de los mejores tours escénicos que he tomado en mi vida. Paisajes increíbles, en escenarios naturales de belleza indescriptible, tanto en Yosemite y Grand Canyon, como en Brice Canyon, Antelope Canyon y Zion National Park. .. Buenos recorridos con vistas inolvidables en 17 Mile Drive, San Francisco, y Las vegas.
En los recorridos iban personas de varias nacionalidades, así que había varios guías en cada una de las tres partes del recorrido. En cuanto a la guianza en español, excelentes guías, aunque solamente uno de ellos (en la segunda parte del recorrido) era 100% en español nativo. los otros dos eran, una Brasileña y un Italiano respectivamente, pero con muy buen nivel de español, y se esforzaron en todo momento por responder mis preguntas y absolver mis dudas.
Excelentes hoteles con desayunos dentro de lo esperado, excepto en Las Vegas, donde te dan un vale para Starbucks, que cumple bien su función.
El recorrido presentó variaciones con respecto a lo que se ofrecía y como se ofrecía en internet. Por una parte no nos detuvimos en el Horseshoe Bend, como se prometía, y por otro lado no se realizó el crucero por el Lago Powell.
No obstante lo anterior, recomiendo mucho este tour. De todos modos es un recorrido muy completo, bastante interesante, con paisajes realmente alucinantes.

Très bon petit resto Mexicain situé à Puerto Vallarta dans la zone Romantica.
Prix abordable et le service très courtois .Le serveur Cristian est très professionnel et voit à se que l`on manque de rien et que dire de l`hotesse Stéphanie qui nous reçois avec son beau sourire et en français .
Je le recommande .

Ett perfekt sätt att göra California på 7 dagar. Mycket bra guider som visade och berättade väldigt mycket. Trevligt med deltagare från hela världen!
Helt ok hotell, men blandad standard. En intensiv resa med tidig avresa många dagar.
