Excellent tour. Great value for money. Fabulous guide. Sights amazing! - I joined this tour in Las Vegas in order to see the Grand Canyon, Antelope Gorge, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Park. The sights did not disappoint, and neither did the tour guide, Martine, and the bus driver, Chris. Chris steered us safely rough the often windy, steep terrain and gave Aus a comfortable, safe space to rest between sights. Martine was an amazing guide. On board there were 14 people who originated from 8 different countries! Martine was able to fluently converse with those who preferred their mother tongue. We were all kept well informed as she switched between 3 languages fluently. The age group on board was also broad, early 20’s to late 60’s. She was able to cater for the needs of all. Those who wanted to climb mountains were able to do so, those who wanted an easier pace were also accommodated. We also knew in advance, where we were staying, stopping for lunch and what nearby restaurants may suit us for dinner. Nothing was too much trouble and it seemed to me that the tour ran seamlessly as a result. This tour is very good value for money, and as a frequent traveler, I would recommend it highly to those keen to see the spectacular sights in Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

AMAZING experience! - This trip is an incredible experience, wonderful views of all kinds. The vistas are truly breathtaking and the guides were well informed and helpful. If you want to experience a variety of national parks in one trip this is the experience to book! Can’t wait to take another tour

Trip that everyone should do - By far the most wonderful trip I’ve done! So much so that I had to put this review on paper, for the start of the booking to the actual trip itself it was all exactly as advertised! If you’re wondering if the price is worth it… allow me to put those thoughts to rest because it absolutely is!

One breath 7 days trip! - 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

This tour takes you to the most fantastic places - My partner and I recently completed the 7 Days tour of the California Coast, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion Park. The tour overall was fantastic. The bus was neat and comfortable, the locations were all stunning and the guides all were very knowledgeable and friendly. Special shout out to Brenda and Lorenzo who were both excellent guides who clearly love what they do and love shearing all these amazing places with people. Considering the price of this tour, the hotels for the most part were great. My biggest issue with them was that the hallways and rooms in some of the hotels stank of smoke or had other foul smelly orders to them. My main vote for 4 stars for this tour was not the tour itself but actually lack of communication from the tour company prior to the tour taking place. Aside from getting a booking confirmation I received no further emails from the tour company. Having done similar tours with other companies before this was a bit of red flag as you would normally receive some sort of communication emails leading up to the trip. Due to this, I was not even sure that this tour was real and if the bus would even turn up to the meet point. I was very glad that it did, however I can suggest to make future customers more at ease providing some more correspondence before the trip would be beneficial. Despite this, I would recommend Empire Vactions and I would tour with them again should I find myself back in the USA.

Great tour but…….. - Lack if organisation to start the trip, people moved out of their seats several times to accommodate translators. Surely this could have been mapped out prior to boarding the coaches. We finally set off only to pull over in a car park (one of many) about an hour out of LA. 2 changes of coaches and a 2 hour wait for a new coach as the door was broken. Several arguments between drivers and tour guides, then an argument on the coach with a fellow traveller and staff member when she refused to change seats again. Then the coach broke down on the freeway, where we were stranded on the side of the road for a further 2 hours in fairly extreme heat. Compensation…pizza and a drink on the bus after a further wait in another car park. The first day on the road was a gruelling 17 hours, arriving at our motel at 1130 at night. All the scenery we saw was absolutely fabulous, although too much time was taken on the guide taking photos for the group and other random people. Change of guides and driver from Vegas to Zion. Thank you to the wonderful Mark Skinner our guide. Mark was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, going out of his way to add an extra experience when Bryce Canyon was closed due to inclement weather. Antelope Canyon was a highlight for me, absolutely stunning! Mark left us on our return to Las Vegas and the final trip back to LA. Sadly we were left in care of a rather nasty tour guide who was refusing to drop off the passengers who were disembarking from the farmers market at LA. More arguments between her and other staff, who were trying to reason with her and explain the trip was about the passengers not her! She reluctantly took us to our final destination when the one remaining translator got off at the first stop at LA., which caused another argument when he refused to get back on the coach, he was jumping up and down on the sidewalk saying it wasn’t his job to escort the remaining passengers to the end destination. All in all the destinations we visited were fantastic, most of the hotels were comfortable, although many were reminiscent of the corridors in the movie The Shining. Thank you to the Navajo Nation for accomodating us. This company needs to have a good look at who they employ because some are giving you a bad name

Terrible experience of treatment and organization, the places are beautiful, a shame that their bad work environment ruins it. - 1. One of the drivers was using his phone during all the trips, while driving, which caused constant zig-zag and increased the risk of an accident, it was reported and he still continued doing it. 2. The second guide presented with a SEVERE respiratory tract infection. That made it difficult for him to speak and translate and also infected several people on the trip, including us. 3. Terrible organization in general, we heard calls from the guides to their company who were upset because they wanted to change the route or make them stay and that caused them to treat us badly because they were upset doing their job. On several occasions travelers asked them things and they answered very rudely. 4. None of the guides except for one (who only accompanied us the first two days) gave us their number in case of emergency, which occurred at the end and they could not help until the next day. 5. Poor organization took away hours of rest and scheduled hours of entertainment, leaving the vacationer more exhausted than necessary. 6. They did not ask for tips on 3 occasions, we had never had a tour like this. It is extremely uncomfortable, because also if they had asked for it at the end after all the bad things that I will tell you, no one would have given anything. But we had already given the tips and they even gave us a guide at the end. 7. We had to remind them that we had to place the luggage organized at the end due to the multiple destinations of the various travelers and then the guides had to give notice that all the luggage should be taken down again and placed organized, it is incredible that they do not notify in time the most essential. 8. The last driver change that took place halfway to Los Angeles was the WORST of all. That driver spoke to us in a bad way from the moment he got into the truck, he did not want to give us any type of information, and he was not the guide with us for translations from Las Vegas-Los Angeles. The driver was visibly upset, driving at high speed and picked up two people (two apparently underage girls who were carrying some flowers), modifying our route, as if it were a local passenger truck. I leave them somewhere else, delaying our arrival. Furthermore, this almost 3-hour journey did not have any courtesy stops, which on all tours are mandatory at least every 2 hours to carry out basic needs. To make matters worse, when we arrived at our destination he did not want to take down the luggage, he said that it was not his job because it was not his job and one of the travelers suffered a severe blow to the head when he took down his suitcase. The driver got even more angry and because he left angry, he left a suitcase belonging to a traveler that did not correspond to those who got off at that stop. When the truck left, he left that suitcase and we had to contact the only number we had for the first Guide to let him know what happened. Fortunately, one of the travelers who got off at that stop had a relative in Los Angeles and they took that suitcase and we don't know if he recovered it. Definitely the worst experience we have had on a tour trip. It is a real shame since the places visited are beautiful, but if you lose rest time, if you notice the poor organization and the staff's annoyance with their own work, if the drivers do not respect the safety of travelers, you lose everything. , it becomes a nuisance and one wants the martyrdom to end instead of ending up happy, which is what one pays a tour for, to live a beautiful and friendly experience. Avoid ruining your vacation by hiring this tour, which is the same one purchased through USA TOURS. A shame.
