Tours 4 Fun

I booked a 3 day tour to San Francisco/​Yosemite with this company for my visiting cousins. They were not satisfied with the whole trip. First thing we noticed was that the bus was late for the scheduled pick up. Next, the bus driver was very rude and unhelpful. My cousin was traveling with kids so they needed strollers with them. Since the strollers were kept in the storage area, my cousin needed to have the strollers removed at every stop. The bus driver would get angry when the stroller needed to be unloaded. One of the kids got sick on the bus and the driver was very inconsiderate with how he treated my cousin’s family.
At San Francisco, my cousin made the decision to just leave the tour since everything was horrible. The bus driver and tour guide later found my cousin around San Francisco and told them that they owe the tour company more money. There was definitely a lot of hidden fees and extra charges.
Also, once the tour was booked, the itinerary was missing information. The hotels where they would be staying at was not listed. Info about the charges were not on there.
Overall, we were not happy with this company.

I originally signed on for a Las Vegas/​Grand Canyon Package tour because of the seemingly cheap cost for a trip to the Grand Canyon as well as 3 nights stay in Las Vegas… However, I was SEVERALLY DISAPPOINTED by not just this tour but also tours4fun.
First of all, this tour is run through Seagull Holidays, a primarily Chinese based tour company. If you do not speak any Chinese, you are out of luck because the tour guides mainly cater to the Chinese tourists and hardly speak any English. Our tour guide, «Leo», spoke about 90% Chinese, and 10% English the entire time. The few times he did speak English, he gave either false information (The San Gabriel Mountains are not a part of the Rocky Mountain Range, Ventura County is not a part of Los Angeles) or he made ridiculously insensitive/​racist remarks such as saying Salt Lake City is a very high level city because there’s mainly white people that live there…
I would’ve rather preferred it if he just didn’t speak any English at all and not say anything so that I could at least sleep a little rather than hearing his bogus remarks.
The next deception came when we were on our way to Las Vegas. The tour guide handed us a paper with a list of optional packages travelers could participate in while on the tour. First of all, YOU HAVE TO PAY AN EXTRA $ 50 PER PERSON TO GO TO THE GRAND CANYON. You guys (Tours4fun) mislead me by advertising the Grand Canyon as part of the original $ 139 deal. I notice that you guys have since increased the original price to cover that part of the package but that does not deter from the fact that I and the other people that I was traveling with that week were misinformed about the additional cost for the grand canyon.
I was very pissed off about the surprise cost so decided it would simply be better not to pay the $ 50 per person. But when I told them this, they said that I needed to pay a manditory $ 30 fee for NOT going to the Grand Canyon… HOW RIDICULOUS IS THIS? I HAVE TO PAY $ 30 TO NOT GO ON THE GRAND CANYON TOUR???
My girlfriend and I were completely bewildered by the ridiculously shady manner in which this tour was managed. We ended up paying the $ 30 per person to not go to the Grand Canyon and just rented a car in vegas and did it ourselves. Ended up paying a little bit more but we refused to ride with this tour company for all its ridiculousness.
Another thing that was ridiculously shady was the fact that the tour almost forces you to dine at a generic Chinese buffet about 15 minutes away from the strip. The name of the buffet is a very generic «Las Vegas Buffet» and I’m almost positive the owner’s in cahoots with Seagull Holiday. The bus stopped there right before we arrived in Vegas for lunch and once again on our way back to Los Angeles. What’s ridiculous is that with all the marvelous restaurant options in Vegas (litterly a few miles away from that restaurant), they make this obscure restaurant in the middle of nowhere a lunch stop not just once, but twice…
We were really looking forward to Grand Canyon and Vegas but this tour completely ruined what would’ve been an enjoyable vacation.

Base on the tour it says las vegas, Grand Canyon tour bus. But there’s a fees for everything, we could’ve drove ourself if we knew. Even a fees for not picking any activities that they offer. We didn’t want to do the grand Canyon since it’s additional and they didn’t tell us ahead. And the tour guy tell us there a $ 30 charge for not taking the tour. OMG RIPPED OFF! I’m try to put a review on their website it won’t let me put 1 star it needs approval. No wonder they get a five stars. Fake ads! Horrible business!

I’ve been on 2 trips with the Tours4Fun company. My first one was about 5 years ago for the East Coast and the second one was last year for Washington/​Oregon.
First of all, if you don’t speak/​understand Mandarin you are screwed. Both of the trips I went on, the tour guides knew little to no English. I am fluent in Cantonese and only know a little Mandarin. My parents had to translate the entire time. When we asked the tour guide to translate, he was hesitant and just told us to deal with it…
The tour itself was okay. The typical day starts at like 6am-​7am depending on the tour guide. I thought it was way too early for us. We are on vacation and it would be nice to sleep in a little. Tours end around 5−6pm being dropped off at the hotel for the night. Tours4Fun follows the itinerary strictly so whatever you signed up for, it will not go south. At some locations we were given less than 30 minutes to walk around/​sight see and that is just not enough. I felt really rushed during the entire trip.
Food choices were terrible. Since we travel in a large tour group, we would be sent to food courts like Costco, Safeway, etc. every meal. I am a huge foodie and that just really kills the experience when traveling. I was really disappointed when we pulled up to another food court every meal.
Hotel is included on the tour. They were decent, typical 3 star hotels. I did not have a problem with any of them.
Probably the best thing about the trip is what the tour offers for the price. You don’t have to deal with booking a hotel, finding a place/​paying for parking, and driving. Just sit back and relax while the tour guide brings you to all the destinations. This is the reason why I went with the tour company a second time.
Keep in mind that they charge $ 8 a person per day for tip on top of everything, as well as entrance fees to museums/​places they take you.
I gave it 1 star because if you are not fluent in Mandarin like me, you are completely screwed for the trip. They should put on their website that TOURS ARE IN MANDARIN ONLY so people know.

Liars. Do nit use their services.
Misrepresentation of packages sold.
They write something and put pictures if other services.
I choose their helicopters ride and I ended up with airplaine ride.
They replied back and did not honored their services as presented.
Bad customers services and if you ask them something they will tell you you have to read clearly before choosing in an inprofesaional way.
Bad experiences and never again use their services.
This company will rip you off !!!

We went on the Canada 8-​day tour. Firstly, the tour package we purchased included airport pickup, and nobody was at the airport to greet us — it took them several hours to get someone there. When we were finally greeted, it was by some third party group called NHG — turns out Tours 4 Fun sold our contract to another tour group. We had paid for the deluxe tour package to upgrade to the nicer hotel, but our NHG guide refused to take us there, saying that we weren’t on the list, so we had to stay at the regular hotel, which was a significant drop off in quality. NHG also refused to drop us off at the location we agreed on, saying that we had made the arrangements with Tours 4 Fun and not them, so we had to pay extra for a taxi to take us there. Towards the end of the tour, our NHG guide also openly solicited tips pretty hard, and then immediately after getting paid basically told us that we were on our own.
We contacted Tours 4 Fun to complain about the poor service we received, and asked them to refund us for the taxi fare and the upgrade fee we paid for the «deluxe» package, and after several weeks of dealing with their customer «service,» we were able to get the cab fare credited to us, and they offered us «Tours4Fun points,» but why would we ever want to deal with these people again after something like this? To make matters worse, they refused to refund us our upgrade fee for the hotel, without even telling us why — we sent them copies of our receipts and everything. Their response was basically, «we aren’t giving you any more, and if you want more take us to court.»
I will NEVER book anything through this company ever again. Selling you off to a different tour group, not honoring terms of the contract, providing lousy customer service — Tours 4 Fun hits all of the check boxes for shady business practices.
There is NOTHING redeeming about this company, so look elsewhere unless you want a bad tour and a horrible time trying to talk to customer service afterwards.

Pros: kind and professional tour guides, places visited (so far) have been nice and interesting.
Cons: very cheap hotels, people smoking pot in a nearby room at the Best Western; uncomfortable matress, terrible breakfast and non-​functional equipment at the fitness center of the Ramada; bus with leaking ceiling air conditioner vents, the kleenex box was insufficient to wipe all the water from the ceiling be prepared to get wet; not enough time allocated to see all areas of Graceland; the majority of the trip is spent on the road in a bus with no reclining seats; the hotels are extremely far away from the city’s downtown, so, forget about exploring the downtown and trying to find a good restaurant for typical food is impossible unless you want to spend an arm and a leg in taxi or über. Tickets to the Gateway Arch in St Louis, Missouri were sold out, you would think the tour company would have made arrangements to prevent this type of situations but that’s having too high expectations for this company. The eating places are selected based on whether there is Chinese food available or not, we have been in Chinatown twice and dropped of at an Asian buffet last night, so be prepared to walk to find other alternatives. And on top of things, when we tried booking this tour, we had several questions, contacted Tours4Fun customer service and the experience was less than satisfactory. Very disappointing experience.

We did the 4 day LA to Vegas grand canyon tour and I wish we’d paid more with a decent tour company! DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS TOUR IF YOU ARE AN ENGLISH SPEAKER as it is a mostly asian tour. Firstly we changed our hotel pick up location the day after I booked and this cost $ 30! Absolutely ridiculous! The bus turned up an hour late (apparently because of traffic however several other buses turned up on time so this is complete BS). The tour guides are supposed to speak mandarin and english but our guide spoke mandarin for a good half an hour as we were arriving into Vegas, then we arrived at our destination and he ran out of time so only spoke in english for about a minute! This happened several times and some of the guides spoke almost broken english so you could barely understand them anyway. There was no advice given at all about our grand canyon day tour ie. how long the bus ride will be, how many stops there will be and what we should bring for the day. I have a feeling this was explained in mandarin but not english. I would definitely spend more money and go with a different tour company next time!
I have left a similar review on their website however I highly doubt they will post it! Wish i’d read all these reviews before I booked my trip!

I took the 3 day tour to Las Vegas and Grand Canyon. It was a bilingual tour but everything was translated into English. Guide was not needed since everything is mostly sightseeing. We stayed at the Circus Circus hotel (nice and clean) There was lots to do lots of restaurants near by (walking distance). The tour guide was funny and friendly.

We took the 3 day Canada East Coast Tour during the Labor Day weekend. It was eventually a nice tour but we had few surprises/​hiccups during the reservation period as well as the tour itself.
1. I’d booked a Value Tour package initially, about 2 weeks prior to our tour. We got no confirmation. And about couple days before our trip, we were told that we’ve to be upgraded to a Deluxe Package, due to Hotel unavailability. And I’d to pay the upgrade price at the last minute. I didn’t like this idea.
2. No eating/​drinking or use of restrooms were allowed in the bus. The guide was quite blunt and curt. The bus stops at exorbitantly priced Lunch/​Dinner buffet places. And for those not opting the Buffet, there aren’t many options near-​by. We were given just 2 hours to explore Quebec City and then the bus took us to a far restaurant for dinner, instead of allowing us to explore the food in the heart of Quebec City.
3. The hotel upgrade was applied for 1 night only. Also, breakfast was allowed in our accommodation for 1 day only. Moreover, the hotels were far from the cities (Montréal/​Quebec) near the airport. Hence, we’d to catch a cab/​taxi to travel 30 – 40 mins to explore the nightlife in Montréal/​Quebec City. I was more hoping that the hotels were in the heart of the city. So that was a huge disappointment
4. The Thousand Island cruise was from a small place called Rockport. I learnt that better cruises leave from Gananaque (just 10Kms further) and they have a beautiful boardwalk. There was nothing to do in Rockport for the visitors that chose not to take the cuise :(
I was told that Safeway Tours (a competitor) is priced more reasonably and they include 1 breakfast & 1 lunch buffet. Also, there are no restrictions of food & toilet use inside the bus.
All in all a nice tour. Definitely cannot cover so much by our own within 3 days. But we felt that this tour could have been better and was priced a little more than we’d anticipated.

it is the words tours ever, all chinese speak, very bad drivers falling a sleep or drunk i dont know but one of the drivers was going side to side on and off, they transfer us to different buses, like 6 different times, wants your far from home, they star adding charges, and they want cash, on the spot, im thinking they want to avoid pay taxes to the irs, cause they dont want to give you a recive for all those charges, they ask you to pay againg to go to the grand canyon, according to them to enter to the grand canyon, you need to pay 7 dollars for the driver for each day for each person, i was assuming that was included, on my fair to the grand canyon, plus you feel descriminate went every time they transfer you to a new bus, oriental people was all ways first, then the rest at the end, and some times a part from my party, i will never take this tours againg, read all there policy you get mess no mater what,

I know it is a much better tour than what I received. The first problem started, when a paying customer was not allowed on the bus and she refused to leave because she had paid. Because of this situation, instead of leaving at 5am, we finally left around 7am. So, with this extended delay, we only had 50 minutes at the Grand Canyon, so we were short valuable time. This delay also caused a short amount of time at Hoover Dam. Another problem, the bathroom on the bus did not work. Why would a bus traveling for at least 4 hours would not have a working bathroom? On the way back, the A/​C stopped working and it was very hot with no air circulating. So at the end of trip, the guide who we did not understand most of the time, came to collect $ 7.00 for the driver; so yes, he got us there and back, but the condition of the bus was not acceptable. I know this review may not be posted on this site, but I will repost on a different one.

This is the biggest and best bilingual travel company in US market. The tour guides and drivers are very friendly, responsible and passionate. I will use this travel company always for my friends & family tours!

All tours are conducted in Chinese!!! So if you don’t speak chinese you are in trouble.
