We had the great time in this tour. The tour was well organized and we took a lot of pictures in Hearst Castle. I have to mention that 2 nights in Hilton is wonderful.

We were delighted by the circuit proposed by your company, the organization, the guide (Mark), and the services. It was wonderful and we thank you very warmly.

We stayed two nights in Hilton in Fremont. The hotel was really nice. Inside Hearst Castle guided tour was very prefessional. But the tour only stayed in Solvang for about 2 hours. I wish we could have stayed there longer as it's a very cute village. Other than that, tour went smoothly and tour guide Mike really took good care of us.
