The bus didn't pick us up that morning. Instead we were picked up by a nice guy in a van, driven one hour to SF to pick up another couple then driven to meet the bus in Oakland Chinatown. The lady tour guide checked us in without saying hello or introduced herself and the bus driver nicely so we could remember their names. You spent a lot of time on the bus and when the bus stopped we were rushed like schoolchildren on field trips. The tour guide didn't pronounce location names correctly and she treated us like we were all dumb. She was outright rude and mean sometimes, she must know most Asian customers rarely complain. On second day we had to rush through lunch to buy stuff for dinner because she told us there were no restaurants near our hotel that night. When we almost got there she told us there are actually some restaurants within 10-15 minutes walk. The manager at the Days Inn in Klamath Falls were very nice at the breakfast buffet. On the way back to drop us off, the driver ran into some dangerous looking dead end corner where some homeless guys could have thrown things at our bus. This trip was more suitable for people who speak little English and have little knowledge of the US. We had been on other tours before and know the differences. We are not dumb but we gave the guide tips anyway because we are decent people while she asked for tips without showing grace or gratitude.
