What people love about Central California Tours
- Western Triangle - Los Angeles Airport
Overall our family had a great experience The tour guides were nice and helpful , our second tour guide Gratyana was especially very knowledgeable and organized and gave equal explanations in all 3 languages The hotel booked in Vegas , as to the Luxor could get a better option with atleast a coffee machine or a water cooker in the room Some of the important points within a city were always only in the Optional tour and not in the core programme . Atleast it should be seen to it that the top 5 attractions in a city were included within the core program even if it calls for revising the core prices Wake-up alarms at hotels were not necessary as we had our own alarms and were thought to be a forceful imposed botheration ?
- Yosemite Escape Camping - 3 Days
This tour maximises the time in the park along with seeing the big name sights. Camping set up and cooking was great, with everything catered for.
- Yosemite Escape Camping - 3 Days
You’ll find this tour incredibly organised. Yosemite is a must-go park, and IncAdventures puts everything together for you from transport to food to accomodation to trekking guides. With luck you’ll have the same guide as me, Kate, who has the personality and know-how that adds to the whole experience!

"Most of sandwiche meals was eaten outside in 97 temp and flys. Accommodations mostly were average without A/C. Director communication was bellow average, driver should not be eating while driving. I traveled with this company twice before, this was the worst.
