This was the best time planned tour ever. The bus arrived on time. The tour guide and driver were efficient and very nice. Our day had a schedule that everyone followed that gave us plenty of time to see all we wanted to. The meal that was ..included was delicious. Wish it had not been so cold outside as you had to eat in the windy cold.Read full review
From start to finish, this tour was memorable for all the right reasons. The tour is incredibly well organised. Our tour guides, Jennie and Evan, were knowledgeable, clear on meeting times & their expectations, helpful and generous. They ap..proached each day with enthusiasm, never hesitating to answer our questions about national sites, geology, culture, weather forecast for the day and the days ahead so we were always adequately dressed and topping us up with water throughout the day while also sharing anecdotes of their experiences. Notes for the tour: - On most days (especially if you are camping) you will need to get up early (~6.30am). However, this is just so we can cover the distance to get to locations before major tour buses do (completely worth it) and you can catch up on sleep while on the drive. - At every destination there are activities which can range in intensity. It is your choice on what kind of climbs/walks you'd like to do so this is great for all ages. Our tour guide provided us with the information needed to choose the appropriate walk such as altitude, distance and time. - Catered lunches are usually sandwiches with cold meats and condiments. - Pit stops occur every 2-2.5hrs and is usually at a gas station. This provides you with time to grab a coffee, snack and anything else you may need. Our tour guide informed us of which stops had the best toilet facilities. - As I chose the lodging facilities, I would rate them between 3.5-4 stars. Each facility had warm showers, comfortable beds & heaters. There were also facilities to buy snacks, souvenirs and dinner within the hotel complex. - I would highly recommend doing the Antelope Canyon & traditional Najavo dinner as they are inexpensive but was by far for majority of the tour participants - Definitely bring a backpack containing a water bottle, sunscreen, wind jacket (as it gets very cold and windy at times), sneakers, jumper & clothes you can comfortably walk in if you intend on going on more arduous walks such as activewear. Thanks to Jennie and Evan for such a great time! I would definitely return to tours4fun the next time I am looking for a tour.Read full review
The tour doesn’t cover anything than accomodation and transport. I had to pay extra here and there which was fair enough but not when you were being discriminated. The tour is available in English and Chinese, I thought the English speaki..ng tourists will get full translation unfortunately not. I don’t understand much Chinese but I’m not stupid. When the tour guide talked in Chinese for ages and people were laughing but only have some sentences to translate in English, was that fair? Did we pay different fees here? Also on the day we went to Grand Canyon, I got bumped to the last seat on the bus. I was on that seat the whole tour and the tour guide told me to go back to my seat while everyone else sat wherever they want? Just because I don’t speak Chinese doesn’t mean I don’t know what was going on. I was fine sitting at the back until this lady who I believe a friend of the tour guide (or even another tour guide? Cause she held our wristbands to Grand Canyon) took up the whole row at the back, not just the 2 seats but 4 seats altogether and was so rude to other (paid) guests who wanted to seat on those seats. Guess what she said when the tour guide asked her to move her feet? “I want to sleep!” Yes, I understood that bit! And the tour guide just let her go like that, what an experience the guest had. She was swearing when I asked her to move her feet too. I will not recommend this tour to my closed ones. Thank you for the experince, guys!Read full review
The tour was great! The places we visit were amazing, the Grand Canyon is a must see! The only bad thing was the lack of English translation... I know English speakers are not the mayorista of the people that uses the Tour4fun website... BU..T even if you have one English speaker guess you need to translate EVERYTHING to English and make sure the directions are clear TO EVERYBODY... for us the trip was a little stressful because we didn’t understood the directions correctly because it was 3 words in English and 20 min in Chinese... obviously we the English speakers didn’t get the whole information...Read full review
My wife and I did that Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend day tour. The reservation and pickup process was great but the shuttle ride was far too uncomfortable to be sitting in for 10 hours. The seats make airplane seats seem like a luxur..y recliner. I can't stress how uncomfortable the seats are: the seats do not recline, have very little and hard padding, and have a very uncomfortable seat belt. You almost have to try to it understand how miserable we were.
As for the destination, we really liked Horseshoe Bend but I was somewhat disappointed in Upper Antelope Canyon. The pictures you see online are not what it really looks like, they tell you when you get there to use certain types of filters to make your pictures look that way. Also, the whole tour was just about how to get pretty photos. I would have preferred to have learned a bit about the place but I guess that's what you get in this social media age.
Overall, the people and process through tours4fun was great, it was just the destination and comfort that were disappointing.Read full review
