The location is very convenient, but there's a facility fee of around 1000+ NTD to check in. It's a bit of a shame if you don't use the facilities. The breakfast is abundant, but you need to go early, or you'll have to wait in line. The bed is very large and comfortable.

Great half day experience out to Napa Valley (will pass by Sonoma but won’t go down the bus). We went to two (2) different wineries that were equally beautiful, and had around eight (8) different wines that we tasted!

I participated alone, but I had a lot of fun talking with the other people on the tour.It was also a great opportunity for me to learn about wineries that are not well known in Japan. There were many tastings, which I was very satisfied with.It's a good idea to bring some water, bread, and snacks.

Yosemite in September boasts crisp autumn weather, perfect for strolling. However, the majestic waterfalls of spring and summer are merely a shadow of their former selves by autumn, though this does not detract from the national park's magnificent grandeur. This tour departs from the Marriott Hotel in the morning, with a stop at a rest area where you can purchase breakfast and lunch at the supermarket, Wendy's, or KFC (there's also a restaurant at the visitor center). Along the way, the driver enthusiastically narrates the history and stories of San Francisco and Yosemite. Upon reaching photo spots, the driver will slow down or allow everyone to disembark. Dinner will be at the same rest stop on the return journey. Overall, the tour is packed with fun, and the driver is enthusiastic, but the price is a bit expensive, with no other major flaws.
