The above mentioned tour which I took with Tours4Fun (T4F) was one of the best tours I had done. It had been a very memorable experience for me in terms of management and places covered. To begin with pre-travel experience, I booked this t..our through website and during the course of booking I do had few queries which were resolved promptly by the T4F customer service department. Also, they were pro-active in informing the change in the Day 3 itinerary (change to Monterey Bay instead on Yosemite) because of government shutdown. I was quite impressed with all this, though still apprehensive about the tour. On the day of the tour, we had pick-up from the location specified on time. The bus was comfortable and the tour guide (Kelvin) and the bus driver were very friendly and courteous. They were very helpful overall. The places covered in the tour were same as mentioned on the itinerary (except for day 3 because of reasons mentioned above). On day 1, we started from LA and went to Santa Barbara beach where we were given ample time, so that we were able to go to the end of the pier and return. Next crossing the scenic beauty of the area, we went to the beautiful town on Solvang which was built in Danish style. It was a very good place and we had lunch there only. Around evening, we reached Silicon Valley area and saw offices of some of the major corporation. Subsequent to that, we visited Stanford University. After this, we stopped for dinner and then reached our hotel by 8.30. We got the same hotel as was mentioned in the itinerary. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay there for 2 days. Day 2 started with visiting the Lombard street which was just amazing. After this, we were taken to the Golden gate bridge which was again a wonderful experience. Pier 39-45 was our next stop where we had almost 2 hours at our disposal to have lunch, do some shopping and of course, sightseeing. We opted for both bay-cruise and city tour. Through these tours, we got to see almost all the attractions in SFO. The tour guide and driver also took us to another attraction (which was not planned) when one of the planned attractions was closed due to some temporary problem. Post this, we went for some shopping and dinner in the SFO Chinatown where though the restaurants were predominantly Chinese, we could find other restaurants / cuisines also of our choice. On Day 3, we started early in the morning and went to Monterey bay area and visited the beautiful golf course of the world. The scenic beauty of the route impressed me quite a lot. By evening, we reached LA and subsequently our drop-off location comfortably. There were stoppage every 1.5 - 2 hours so, there was no food / restrooms related problems for anyone. The stoppages were on places where we could find different kind of restaurants and could have food of our choice. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was well managed and well planned and gave a good coverage of SFO attractions. Though some people may find it a bit difficult to understand the heavy accent to the tour guide, but that is a minor part as compared to hassle free, well managed tour you are getting. Highly recommended. I would definitely be taking another tour with T4F in near future. Read full review
