“We started to plan our own tour and found that this tour was nearly identical to what we were planning. I don't think we would have saved any money doing it ourselves. The hotels were all of good quality and the day tours didn't overlap each other. The local guides did an excellent job. The whole trip went without a glitch.

LYMAN, JOHN
5 stars
“Excellent experience. No question that my experience was enhanced by the group leader, Without her knowledge, her genuine caring attitude, her humor, and her patience, this trip would have been rated 3.5-4 stars. There's no question a leader can make or break one's experience on a tour such as this...and our group leader (Kate) falls into the "make it" category.

Great Parks of the Southwest featuring the Grand Canyon
1/Jun
JOAN GOLINAR
5 stars
“This was our first guided tour in the US. It was tough finding a tour that hit all the major National Parks in Utah which is what I was looking for.We had a very experienced tour guide and novice bus driver. They worked well together and the guide was on top of reservations the entire time. She had time management down to a science and it helped that our other travelers were all very prompt. I was pleased with the amount of pre-programmed activities and time on our own. The hotels were very nice and convenient. I would tour with them again… might skip the initial train ride but overall I was satisfied with the trip.

“Great trip! The Rockies were beautiful and the train was fun. The one night on the train was a challenge, but it was a train. And the food was great and everyone who worked on the train were so accommodating and nice. They seemed to love what they do. I would recommend this trip to everyone.
