3 Day Tour to Oregon Redwood Crater Lake from San Francisco

Posted By : Sterre_L
The tour was not at all as I expected: it was completely in Mandarin! It is unacceptable to sell this as an English-spoken tour. Maybe it was worse than usual because I was the only person not speaking Chinese, but all 10-15 minutes stories about the sights were summarised to me as "This stop: Crater lake, 1 hour." The tour guide, though very friendly and well-intentioned, really struggled with English even for the practical stuff like explaining where to go for dinner.

That being said, the stops and hotels were both nice and the driving was okay (though really quite fast, our driver even got a speeding ticket...). If you just want to be dropped off at lovely sights, or if you speak at least a bit of Mandarin, then I would actually recommend this tour. My main problem with this tour is the fact that they sell this as an English-spoken, guided tour: there was no guidance for me at all.

Our memorable moments of our trip was seeing Crater Lake and Mount Shasta .It was wonderful.
Jason was full of knowledge and very confident on all our outings. Such a lovely driver and very conscientious.We were older people and he was just so kind.We would recommend the trip to anyone taking this option.

The tour was safe, organized, and the route was as advertised. Hotels were clean and suitable. We saw all the sights we wanted to see.

Not a con but good to know: The tour was primarily non-English speaking and this was not made clear via the online booking site (at the time of booking). Company page should be more clear on this point. The English speaking passengers did not have the same experience as the non-English speaking passengers. I was informed by one of the passengers that the tour guide was very funny. I got that impression from all the laughter. Luckily we did not need much guidance to enjoy nature.

Many experiences were memorable. The driver/tour guide was excellent. Despite an unfortunate incident at the pickup point, Antony was professional, resourceful, patient, and always cheerful. We experienced road construction, detour, and a highway closure due to fires. He always thought of our safety and comfort. My only criticism would be to his company and the planning details of such a long drive for the tour. The road issues were beyond his control but caused longer driving time to our hotel both nights with no dinner. Antony did his absolute best to see to our needs. He kept all the tourists informed in 3 languages!
We saw wonderful attractions in CA and OR, the accommodations were very nice for the cost of the trip.
Thank you for your time.

If you love nature, this trip is for you! I would like to make a special mention to our driver, Mark, who made the trip the success that it was! We covered a lot of tremendous sights with just enough time to enjoy ourselves. There were plenty enough rest stops and ample time to eat with enough choices of where to eat....I look forward to another trip in the future and I only hope I would be lucky enough to have Mark once again as our driver! My only suggestion for improvement would be the opportunity to charge our phones on board!
