I had a very positive experience with this tour company. From start to finish, the service was executed with a high degree of professionalism and organization. Transportation arrived precisely on schedule, and the entire trip was managed efficiently and without disruption. The staff demonstrated courtesy, attentiveness, and a clear commitment to maintaining a smooth and comfortable experience for all passengers. Their attention to detail and respect for timelines reflect a well-managed operation. I would highly recommend this company for future bookings. Their reliability, punctuality, and professional standards set them apart read more

Thank you Alvand transportation had an excellent experience with this tour company. From the very beginning, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The bus arrived exactly on time, and the entire trip was organized flawlessly. There was no confusion, no delays--just a smooth, well-coordinated experience. The team was respectful, attentive, and clearly committed to making sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of. It's rare to find a company that values punctuality and organization the way they do. I genuinely felt I was in good hands the entire time. I highly recommend them for any future bookings. If you're looking for reliability, professionalism, and an stress-free experience, this is the company to choose. read more

Terrible customer service late with no explanation and now we're waiting 2 1/2hours for a train. This is terrible business and I really want my money back! read more

Bus driver of vehicle 56769 in Las Vegas, NV at approximately 2207 on May 16th nearly caused a car accident involving a compact sedan and a mid-sized pickup truck after bus driver attempted to force themselves into the very right lane while both vehicles were already present. If not for the quick thinking and reaction time of both drivers of the sedan and truck, there would have been a serious collision with all three vehicles. Bus driver should not be operating a motor vehicle. read more

Great experience! I will definitely be using their services again. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Kamal Chahal is a GREAT employee and Henry is a great driver. read more

We took a charter bus from Santa Clarita to SeaWorld for my son's 12th birthday with 40 kids, and it was a great experience! The trip was smooth, the bus was clean and comfortable, and everything ran on time. A big shoutout to our driver, Juan was fantastic! Highly recommend and definitely ask for Juan if you can. read more

Booked Alvand for a 4-day trip to Napa with my girlfriends and it was perfect from start to finish. Our driver Juan was amazing, super professional and made us feel safe the whole time. He should seriously be a security guard! Would definitely book again. Thank you again read more

My friends and I (a group of 40!) used Alvand for our trip to Coachella, and we couldn't have made a better choice. Coordinating travel for that many people isn't easy, but Alvand made it super smooth and stress-free Their charter bus was spacious, comfortable, and surprisingly cost-effective for such a big group. The driver was professional, everything ran on time, and we got to enjoy the ride without any hassle. Highly recommend them if you're planning a group trip--Alvand really came through for us! read more

They need to start with drivers who aren't such assholes. They need to honor seat reservations on their Flixbus routes. They also need to upgrade their fleet, badly. And stop pretending to offer Wi-Fi when they don't. At least they didn't crash during the few times that I have used them. read more

Took a charter bus with Alvand Transportation to Coachella and had a great experience. The bus was clean, comfy, and everything ran on time. Big shoutout to the driver for being patient and sorry for my group being so loud! Would definitely ride with them again. read more

I cannot believe that I hadn't left a review for this company! Yes, the bus is older and there really is no wifi. Yes, some of the busses smell like stale cigarettes. But these are some of the nicest people I've met when I lived in LA. I had a big downturn in my life as our savings were invested in a film project that we have yet to see a profit from. We lost our place because of this bad investment. I was living with friends and working as a background actor, my partner was crashing in a We Work sort of space. As a side income (and I'm not proud of it), I learned how to advantage play slot machines. My car wasn't working well enough to drive out to the casinos in the California desert, so I discovered Alvand while doing a google search. This company provides transportation to and from some of the California casinos. It's mostly older folks who use this service. But I figured, is someone my father's or grandfather's age felt safe riding with them, then I would too. They really do take care of their customers. They always had bottles of water and snacks from an Armenian bakery. One time, I left my car keys on the bus. I was lucky to get a ride to their main bus station. They waited for me and held my keys safe. The casinos we went to always offered a bit of cash play for the casino and one (Fantasy Springs) offered a voucher for lunch! I also learned a few words in the Armenian language. I haven't used their service since before lockdown. I thought about them a lot during lockdown. I hope they are doing ok. I am no longer living in the area, but if you want to take a day trip to Solvang (Chumash casino), just pay the rate to go to the Chumash and then get an Uber or whatever into town. The drive is gorgeous. The buses were always clean too. read more

I absolutely cannot believe the ratings. Believe me I looked at them before making a reservation boldly. I had a completely positive experience. The bus was clean inside and out and the driver was very friendly. Additionally, the grammar in the previous reviews is atrocious. We need education in this country in a big way lol. Great job Alvand!!! read more

Reza is amazing ..he is the best driver..his personality makes me want to ride everyday ..he is an assett too this company and all the passengers adore him .keep up the great work Mr.Reza you are amazing .. read more

I have no clue why Flix Bus is using your service. We had one of your busses from Las Vegas to LA and the plugs did not work. The seats are uncomfortable. And No Wifi. And the driver was talking on the mic way to much. Sad Flix uses a bus company like you. read more

I am a current employee of Alvand Transportation and I am excited to announce I just completed my 90 day probation and just received my first sign on bonus check. Alvand has new management in place and so far my interaction with them has been great. They are very professional and know how to manage the staff as well as run the operation in a fair and equitable manner. They provide competitive pay and benefits, sign on and referral bonus is a plus. Our company just acquired a fleet of 18 new busses to run the new Amtrak service and we are doing an excellent job. Work is abundantly available and schedules are flexible. It's disappointing to read the negative comments mentioned below however, Alvand truly strives for perfection and are they are determined to be the leader in public transportation by providing the best service in Southern California, they are a great company to work for and the service they provides is impeccable. read more

STAY AWAY.....! ! My parents just got back from a trip with them, the driver has been so rude with people. Took the driver forever to register the passengers by himself. He had no help what so ever. The whole time of hours driving he has not turn the radio or the TV on.Even when the passengers asked him, he had responded rude and told them he won't turn them on. The bus was so dirty, so anyone could barely see the out side. My parents are going to these tours for last twenty years and this has been the worst experience they have ever had. DO NOT SPEND A PENNY OR A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME WITH THIS PEOPLE. read more

Very bad your !! The buses and bathrooms in them are extremely dirty on top of that the incredible rude tour guide lady keeps saying to give tips ! This is outrageous!! What if I don't want to rip your nasty attitude shame on you !!! read more

LITERALLY just got off the phone with customer service who said there is no way to review them... Well I found you. There is a bus doing at LEAST 85 swerving on the 101. I called and she said they can't do more than 65..... Well if we're doing 70, how did he come up behind us, pass us, and is out of sight??? Reckless. We're calling the cops and reviewing them EVERYWHERE we can. Don't endanger our locals. read more

1 star is too much for Alvand tour. We went Chumash on 2/19/2018. It was horrible day with Alvand tour. It was the first and last time that I choosed this tour. The tour guid (Alice) was so...rude. She was yelling on us because she can't control anything. Everything was so unorganized. She asked many times for tips clearly. I highly not recommend this tour to any body . read more

I wish here was a way to put no star for this agency , the worst ever , disordered and super rude tour guide alice , she yelled at people , rolling her eyes. She made people uncomfortable to giving her tips and repeatedly asked people for tip , she was not deserve the tips but she made us to give her tip .Never never never recommend this tour to anyone , terrible experience . Now I understand that why they are the worst team because they have the worst manager ( Ana ) as i called the office also their manager Ana yelled at me and she was so rude too , even she didnt let me to talk to owner read more

This place sucks. My grandma had a reservation for 4 people today on Christmas to go to the Chumash casino. They're so unorganized and messed up. They let people without reservations on the bus and they couldn't get them off so we ended up having to drive ourselves. They're so unprofessional and undeserving of any business. Don't support them read more

My date and I had a horrible time. We came in and sat in our seats, and a crazy rude & entitled woman told to get up and move. The bus has open seating, so we just ignored her. Then, she flew into a rage and complained to the bus driver. and (shocking moment) the bus driver yelled as us and TOLD US TO GET IN THE BACK OF THE BUS!!! We were stunned, but since others were perturbed, we moved. Never have I seen such favoritism and entitled behavior on a bus like this against normal people. It was degrading. Can you say ROSA PARKS? read more

I nearly got ran over by one of these buses... driver blew thru a stop sign, nearly hitting 3 of us. We had to run to avoid being hit.

BE AWARE!! If you plan on staying overnight at Chumash and returning home the following day, (even though the website does not inform you) there will be a returning fee of $20.00, even if the bus is not full. I spoke with Alvand's main office and they also mentioned that you are suppose to make reservations as well. Now I have no problems paying the fee (it's still a good value) but they should let us know in advance so we can plan on it. And just an FYI The Roadrunner Shuttle does not charge the returning fee and you do NOT need reservations AND their buses are very comfortable "VOLVO" buses, driven by friendly, safe drivers! read more

THIS IS THE WORST TOUR ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET! Horrible customer service by the owners, terrible service by the tour guide Alice, extremely rude and unprofessional behavior. My parents were told to shut up numerous times when they wanted to voice their opinions on bus. They have been showing favoritism towards specific races. Armenians are being treated poorly. My parents just came back from a trip, my dad had to be hospitalized by the way they had been treated. I am going to put the word out everywhere so they never get business again. I am disgusted by their customer service. read more

On Sunday the 28th, I had the worst experience with a tour group ever. I got on the bus with Alvand Group in Encino and they made a stop in Glendale. once we stopped in Glendale to pick up others, Two people came on and wanted to have my seat so they can sit together. they asked me to move and I said I was happy where I was. There were many other spots behind me and in the back of the bus that they could've sat together. Why my seat? They made such a stink that the tour guide got involved and tried to rush me out of my seat. It got to the point where the owner of the company did the same thing. They not only asked me to move to the back of the bus but basically made me feel, as a paying participant, that Inindividually didn't matter. The owner then told me we're not allowed to sit alone unless we payed for two seats. I didn't tell them they couldn't sit next to me I just told him I didn't want to move. I am not Armenian and I felt this harassment had to do with me not being one of them. They wouldn't have talked to another Armenian this way. it was disrespectful and unappreciated. I felt so hurt by the situation that even though I had already paid I still called an Uber home which cost me $100. It took more out of my pocket but in the end I knew I didn't have to deal with them or see them again. I was afraid the situation would have happened again. I am writing here to warn people although I should contact the BBB due to this behavior. I advise anybody who is not Armenian not to take this tour group to any casino or anywhere for that matter. read more

My fiance and I have been on a tour with Alvand Tours several times. We have always had a very pleasant experience. The tour guide is always very polite and they always provide a snack during the trip, which is very thoughtful. The ride is always very smooth and they have great package deals. I would recommend Alvand Tours to anyone who likes to go to Casinos or enjoys going to Lake Tahoe with a reliable bus company. We look forward to traveling with Alvand Tours. read more

Aweful, horrible tour/transportation company. Biased Tour Guide (Knarig). About 2 years ago, I took one of their one day tours. On the way to our destination, I got drenched with rain water leaking from the ceiling of the bus and since it was full, nothing could be done. They did not even apologize or offer to refund my ticket price or even offer a complementary ride for a future date. I thought things happen so I gave them a 2nd chance. Boy oh boy, I was soooo wrong. This time I even got assualted by one of their other customers as allegedly, I had taken her seat when we were getting ready to return. The tour did not have assigned seats. It was 1st come 1st serve. Unfortunately, the Tour Guide sided with the other customer as it seemed that she was a regular. DO NOT DO THE MISTAKE OF GOING ON TOURS WITH ALVAND JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE REASONABLY PRICED. YOU'LL REGRET IT!!!!! If I have the choice, they are not deserving of even 1 star. read more

My mom and i have gone through alvand transportation a couple time and i want to say they literally have Perfect pricing, compared a couple in the area, they have great customer service, Seats are comfortable and the buses are very clean! read more

This was a terrible tour they waisted an entire day at an outlet mall outside of where we were supposed to go. They also over charged and took us to a 2 star hotel. I would NOT recommended this tour to anyone!!!!!! Also the tour guide yelled at a family for being bad customers because they had complained about bugs in the room and plumming problems in their bathroom. The tour guide also yelled at two elderly women for being a few minutes late to the bus and allowed another man to continue yelling at them disrespectfully. She also collected a manditory $5 tip from every person on the bus for the driver whom.is her husband then proceeded to gamble it all away.... this was at the beginning of the trip. Over all it was a bad experience I would not recommend. read more

I had two trips to Las Vegas with Alvand Tour. On both trips they had problem with transportation for their clients back home. When I called office to talk to them, the stuff were so irresponsible and they were asking me for solution! We were group of ten people, eventhough, I requested to have rooms close to each other we were acomodated far from each other.. The Hotel was horrible, dirty rooms, bad housekeeping and sewage smell in the hallways. read more

i have been on tour with alvand tour one time and it was a very bad experience .the tour guides name is helen and she was very in-polite rude and mean.the bus smelled. we were notified that the bus had mechanical problems but they were able to fix it, however they made a stop in the middle of nowhere, where the bus broke down, leaving us stranded for 5hours, with nothing to do until they transported a new bus to take us home. we left las vegas at 10 am and did not return until 10pm. the worst part was, that they did not even apologize for the inconvenience, or offer anything to help make the wait more pleasant. the majority of the passengers were older, and had difficulty waiting for the new bus in the desert, however no accommodations were made for them. they even left behind two passengers in las vegas! i would never use this tour again. read more
