Overall great trip and experience. Just one comment would be the Hotel on the second day could be improved.

Vegas to San Fran

Best of the Canyonlands (7 Days)

Overall the tour was very enjoyable. The scenery was beautiful. Though the Vail stop was a disappointment as most shops and eateries closed. Cruise Director was very informative and very knowledgeable of the places. Captain Ron was most helpful getting us on and off the bus. Also a very good driver.

I enjoyed the tour and only wish that the weather was better, but that was the chance we took.

Nature's Best: Alaska

Our Tour guide, Wayne, was fantastic! He went above and beyond; to make sure we were comfortable on the bus and on the tours! He also got us as close as he could when there were animal sightings! Lane, our driver, was also an excellent driver; and he kept us safe on the narrow and winding Mountain roads! Hats off to these two!

Brochures/tour information should be updated. Covid-19 requirements for example. This did not have even a single mention at the welcome reception or at any time during the tour, despite the brochure, and could have saved some luggage. Sunset cruise at San Francisco is another example where the tour information mentioned included hor d'oeuvres and two drinks, but just one drink was the reality. Tour leader could provide clearer instructions/information by stating 'left' or 'right' rather than pointing saying 'here' or 'there' when she is doing this from the driver's seat and guests at the back of the van cannot see. She was informed of this and asked, but complied only that one time. Last minute guests (not me) who joined the sunset cruise at SFO were ripped off, having to pay USD68pp even if it included a transfer to the wharf whilst the direct operator price was USD36.

The experience was wonderful, the tour guide, the driver and everyone involved in the support of the people during the trip. We went more places than mentioned in the brochure and the ones mentioned were great. The only disappointment was the timing of the colors. This is always a crap shoot and we were a week to early! However the other attractions on the tour made up for the colors. ***** Thanks to all the support staff !!

Golden State Getaway: 9-Day California Calling Tour to Los Angeles, Yosemite, and San Francisco

Great experience with a fun group of people. You get to see local sights and bars you might not run into travelling by yourself. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the areas we visited. There are plenty of activities to choose from with flexibility on what you want to do on some days. However, the method of getting around with public transportation in some areas (especially in the LA metro) does not feel safe. This would have been better if we had a more secure method of transportation and we could have spent more time in the locations rather than catching buses and trains. Overall though, it was a great experience and had a good time.

Cultural USA Tour Reviews

Da 'ereção' de Ricky Martin aos atrasos que irritam fãs: por que turnê de Madonna continua nas manchetes

Artista segue sua turnê ‘celebration’, aplaudida pela crítica e pelo público, que traz celebridades ao palco e terminará em menos de um mês com gigantesco evento gratuito no rio.

Por El País — Rio de Janeiro

11/04/2024 04h00 Atualizado 11/04/2024

• Copiar link

Falta menos de um mês para a atual turnê de Madonna, Celebration Tour, terminar com um gigantesco show gratuito na praia de Copacabana, no Rio, que promete ser um dos eventos da década no Brasil . O espetáculo tem recebido críticas quase unânimes e entusiasmadas, que celebram a energia da cantora aos 65 anos, o irresistível catálogo de músicas que preenchem o concerto (todas clássicas da pop das últimas quatro décadas) e a encenação milimétrica.

• Veja também: qual é a música mais tocada de Madonna no Brasil nos último dez anos
• 'Me respeitem': Madonna interrompe show para desligar ar-condicionado
• Nelson Motta: Esperando Madonna

Tal como tem acontecido com todas as apresentações de Madonna, as polêmicas que aparecem ao longo de cada show também servem de alimento para a imprensa cultural e social, que quase todas as semanas tem publicado artigos sobre o que se passa nos palcos de Madonna.

As participações especiais de rostos famosos são comemoradas especialmente no momento do show, quando Madonna canta seu clássico "Vogue". Para isso, ela organiza um show de seus dançarinos no qual ela é jurada. E, para ajudá-la nessa tarefa e avaliar os dançarinos, ela costuma ser acompanhada por alguma figura.

Já acompanharam a cantora Jean Paul Gaultier, Donatella Versace, Pamela Anderson, Stella McCartney, Julia Garner , Amy Schumer, Cardi B, Jeremy Scott ou David Harbor. Em Los Angeles, subiu ao palco Kylie Minogue, com quem ela cantou, criando um daqueles momentos históricos para os fãs do pop. Ricky Martin foi o convidado na última terça, no Kaseya Center, em Miami, e segundo as redes sociais e alguns portais internacionais, exibiu uma ereção generosa, resultado (provavelmente) das danças eróticas.

É óbvio pelas imagens que essa suposta reação que fez do cantor um trending topic na rede social X (antigo Twitter) se deve a um vinco nas calças, mas a comoção é, de qualquer forma, um bom termômetro para medir o quanto eles continuam a interessar às apresentações de Madonna, tantas vezes acusadas de irrelevantes pela imprensa musical, e a infalibilidade de uma fórmula que, por ser mais antiga que a própria fama, não nos impede de esquecermos dela: em vez de colocar um famoso, coloque dois.

Comemoração, mas com imprevistos

A turnê causou polêmica antes de começar. Embora em janeiro de 2023 fãs ao redor do mundo tenham esgotado os ingressos e a Celebration Tour tenha se tornado a turnê mais vendida da história (a cantora mais tarde acrescentaria datas adicionais devido à recepção excepcional), o susto chegou em 28 de junho de 2023. Duas semanas antes da data de abertura inicialmente planejada, em Vancouver, Madonna foi internada na UTI com uma infecção grave e teve que suspender a turnê.

Hotéis de Copacabana se preparam para receber fãs para o show da cantora Madonna

Durante duas semanas parecia que a turnê mais esperada do ano não iria acontecer. Menos de duas semanas depois, a cantora anunciou que a suspensão não ocorreria: ela simplesmente alteraria as datas da turnê para começar um pouco mais tarde na Europa, para poder se recuperar e estendê-la até a primavera de 2024.

“Eu não queria decepcionar ninguém que tivesse comprado ingressos para meus shows. Nem aqueles que trabalharam incansavelmente comigo nos últimos meses para criar meu espetáculo. Odeio decepcionar alguém”, escreveu ela em sua conta no Instagram.

Mas ela logo decepcionaria. Embora no primeiro show da turnê, no dia 14 de outubro, em Londres, tenha havido um atraso de meia hora devido a dificuldades técnicas pelas quais a artista pediu desculpa ("Isto é exatamente o que não quer que aconteça na sua noite de estreia", reclamou ao público), atrasos de até duas horas passaram a ser a regra. Aliás, Madonna carrega isso de turnês anteriores: ocorreu em sua Rebel Heart (2015) e Madame X (2019-2020), que viram atrasos de até duas horas e meia, que levaram o público a reclamar nas redes sociais, vaiá-la nos próprios shows e, em alguns casos, a processar a artista.

The Celebration Tour: veja momentos de Madonna na turnê que celebra seus 40 anos de carreira

Algo que se repetiu em janeiro passado, quando dois fãs de Nova York a processaram por enganar seu público sobre o horário de início do show e deixar seus fãs, segundo a ação, “presos no meio da noite” e em dificuldade com as “limitações do transporte público e custos mais elevados do transporte privado”, além de destacar que, como os shows acontecem durante a semana, os atrasos afetam especialmente quem precisa acordar cedo para trabalhar no dia seguinte. Em resposta, os advogados da artista afirmaram que ter que “acordar cedo para ir trabalhar” não é um “dano” jurídico pelo qual uma pessoa possa ser processada.

Madonna chegou atrasada para todos os seus shows de celebração, isso é verdade, às vezes irritantemente atrasada. Mas quando ela chega, dá ao público, pela primeira vez na carreira, exatamente o que ele procura: todos os seus sucessos, um após o outro, com dezenas de dançarinos desfilndo em um palco gigantesco. Além disso, neste show, esteve mais próxima do que nunca do seu público, dedicando vários momentos em cada concerto a rever sua carreira e sua vida, de cerveja na mão e personalizando cada momento da sua apresentação.

Mas talvez em Los Angeles ela tenha se arrependido dessa proximidade. No Kia Forum, ela olhou para uma mulher que estava sentada na primeira fila e deixou escapar: “O que você está fazendo sentada aí?” Logo percebeu que a fã estava em uma cadeira de rodas. “Ah, ok, ok. Isso tem sido politicamente incorreto. Sinto muito. Estou feliz que você veio".

O rápido e sincero pedido de desculpas não impediu que a situação enchesse os noticiários da mídia sensacionalista no dia seguinte. O TMZ ainda trazia uma estranha exclusividade na capa: conversando com a fã supostamente indignada, chamada Vanessa Gorman. Ela encerrou a polêmica com uma frase muito clara: “Não fiquei ofendida”.

A turnê terminará com um gigantesco show na praia de Copacabana, que também será gratuito (um banco financia e patrocina). Espera-se que se torne o show ao vivo com maior número de espectadores de sua carreira. Até dois milhões de pessoas devem comparecer. Não há ingressos, não há turnos, quem chegar primeiro, vai primeiro. As medidas de segurança serão variadas, e, segundo os setores hoteleiros da cidade, as reservas para esse fim de semana aumentaram 30% apenas com os rumores do concerto, antes da confirmação oficial, em março. Certamente leremos sobre as anedotas que ocorrem dentro e fora do palco durante dias.
