Trip review
The tour guide did a very good job considering our group was bilingual. We did spend a lot of time traveling, but the bus was comfortable. The accommodations were questionable for the most part- at one hotel, there were roaches, at another hotel they used some sort of air freshener that was pervasive and with asthma not a good experience. With no meals, fast food is your option. More information should be provided about your itinerary and the types of hotels you should expect to stay in. It would also be helpful to know that each stop is strictly time regulated and there’s no opportunity for souvenir shopping at the majority of the stops.

Amazing views!
The trip was amazing! We went to the places as planned in the itinerary. I did not expect it to be that filled wirh so many sights to see. Stanley was accommodating and friendly. As our guide, he definitely knows the places and was very flexible. I definitely recommend this trip while you can!

The Claritan Hotel and...
The Claritan Hotel and the hotel out on the road was not good. The hotels for the other nights were very good.

We enjoyed this trip very much. Had fun making new friends and learning more about the North Western states and different cultur
Jason is an excellent tour guide and bus driver. He made sure we were taken care of and understood all events. He took great care to make sure our two cultures coexisted!

Better than expected.
Rest up before you go. Lots of great sights and bus ride. Modest accommodations but all clean. Our guide put great effort to share with we three English speaking while informing the 20 in Mandarin. Chris the guide and Jay our driver get A+. The reason for the trip was the sights that were A++. Even the massive countryside as Jay had us on the most timely route but not very much boring interstate.
