Traveler reviews
Meh
I have to give credit to this tour for providing us with decent lodging. I've been on another tour that the hotels were subpar, to put it lightly. If you do book this tour though, be prepared to pay additional $377 for service fee, park admission fee, etc, which I don't remember seeing on the website. Another miscommunication is the departure time from the airport. It says choose one after 8pm. I booked my outgoing flight for 8:30. I learned that that's too early so I had to cut my tour short and pay for Uber to take me to the airport. Either that or finish the tour and miss my flight. Overall, the tour was OK. More time spent on the road than actual sightseeing. I'm happy I finally visited Yellowstone.
Usa west coast trip - 5 day
Hi . I recently booked a tour through Viator for my first trip in the USA, and while there were some positive aspects, overall, the experience was disappointing for several reasons: 1. **Language Barrier**: The tour guide, Harry, was informative and friendly, but he mainly spoke in Chinese. Commentary was often given for 10 minutes in Chinese and only 1-2 minutes in English. This left non-Chinese speakers, including myself, feeling like we were receiving incomplete information. 2. **Travel vs. Sightseeing**: The driver, Lesley, was highly professional and drove with great care. However, the majority of the 5-day tour was spent on the bus. We had very limited time at sightseeing stops, such as Horseshoe Bend, where we were only given an hour or less. More time at these locations would have significantly enhanced the experience. 3. **Food Options**: The bus predominantly stopped at places offering Chinese cuisine or junk food. As an Indian vegetarian, I struggled to find suitable food options and had to rely on McDonald's French fries for nearly three days out of five. This was very uncomfortable and disappointing. In summary, I am disappointed that Viator placed us on a non-English tour without prior notice. While the guide had good qualities, he could have been more empathetic towards non-Chinese speakers’ needs . I hope Viator can take these points into consideration to improve the experience for future travelers. Sincerely
