Day 1 is uneventful. It's only mostly in the bus going to Sunnyvale in prep for SanFo tour. There's a stopover at Pebble Beach though.
Day 2 is the main highlight. You'll have an option here if you want to go to the SF bay cruise or their SF in-depth tour or both. We only chose the SF bay cruise, which was great as we get upclose with golden gate bridge. Tour ends ard 5pm.
Day 3 is so-so. Wished that we stayed longer in Yosemite but coz the tour returns in LA, so I guess no choice as well. It's just like you go to El Capitan / Waterfall just to take pics then go back to the bus. Yosemite tour is just like halfday then you're on your way back to LA.
Pros:
- Many places to go at a short span of time (it's a con as well)
- Cheap
- The hotels they have chosen for this tour are great.
Cons:
- You dont have control of how long to stay at a place
- Yosemite tour is VERY VERY SHORT. It would be better if you allot 1 whole day for this.
Notes:
- Depending on where you booked this, there's a mandatory tip for the tour guide and driver of 12usd per day.
- Our tour guide is Jordan and he's a native Chinese. If you're non-Chinese, you need to adjust in order for you to understand his English.

Dear Customer,
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about our service. Our tour is operated as the itinerary described, including where you will reach and how long will stay at there. This tour will stay at Yosemite 3hours, as we need return to Los Angeles, the range of driving is over 5hours, so we could not stay more longer at Yosemite, we very understand the customer’s love of Yosemite, so if customers want to visit Yosemite for a whole day, we also have private tour to match their demand. The service fee is charged as listed on the website, $12/pax/day, our guide is bilingual and could speak certain levels of fluent English. Still, we are aware that many are not native speakers, and it may bring up potential communication hassles. Our guide could speak slowly so that you can understand what he said. Hope the above explanations help you.
