From the Spanish Conquistadors, to the American Pioneers, to the writings of Jack Kerouac, the open road has held an irresistible allure to those who want to explore America's vast western expanses.

And here in one itinerary is a chance to see everything that makes America great: First, it's the towering granite cliffs and stalwart pines of Yosemite. Then comes Las Vegas' visceral rush of excitement and neon sparkling in the desert. Then the wide-open Arizona countryside and the majestic gaping cliffs of the Grand Canyon.

Then it's on to Los Angeles, in many ways the quintessential American city. First Hollywood - the dream factory where the globe's celluloid miracles are born. And no trip to Southern California, or (some would argue) even North America would be complete without visiting nearby Disneyland - the original happiest land on earth. The next day, ride the movies at Universal studios - from white-knuckled thrill-rides to intriguing special-effects presentations.

On the return journey, drive past California's world famous coastline, stopping in Santa Barbara and Solvang; the authentic Danish villa nestled amongst the lush rolling green hills of Southern California's Santa Inez valley.

Overall tour was awesome - excellent vqalue for money. The tour guides were very accommodating and friendly, and handled logistics very well. We had two tour guides and some of the non-American tourists had difficulty understanding her. Another minor problem was with around food - vegetarian options were not always available.

it was a fantastic tour arranged by GotoBus. Hotel accommodations were great. Guide Peter Lee and driver Alex were a great combination! They helped us a lot to see everything. Alex was trying hard to make sure nobody missed the sights. Some people would arrive late on the bus, but peter took the moments very carefully. Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas were fantastic experiences, only we had to stretch Universal Studio tour as we were tired from the previous day at Disneyland. The only drawback was the western food. We couldn't get indian food at Universal Studios and at Disney. Overall nice conducted tour.
