the early starts were great. Because of that we were also back earlier than advertised, so I could use some time in Vegas.
If possible, it might be easier to do walks not immediately after lunch.
Great tour, amazing parks and Rachel (the tour guide) was great. There's nothing I can put my finger on that could have been improved about the trip only if just could control the weather. Truly it is once in a lifetime experience!
Had an amazing time on the 7-day South-West highlights tour, as well as the 7-day Bryce, Grand Tetons, and Yellowstone tour! My two tour guides, Annie and Haley, were amazing! The parks itself are definitely worth visiting and you get enoug..h time to explore the parks. The nights get cold in some of the places in September if your camping, but with a warning beforehand from the office I was sufficiently prepared. Great work!Read full review
The tour guide was very enthusiastic and organised. You can opt for the tent or stay in a lodge close by. I went for the tent option this also helped with the group bonding. Early starts each day to ensure we fitted everything in leaving ca..mp by 7:30am at the latest. Erecting and dismantling the tents is straightforward. Breakfast is basic cereal, bagels muffins coffee/juice etc Lunches are sandwiches. Evening meals are not included within the urial cost of the tour. We had the two camps we stayed at had good washing shower facilities.
Both nights we had camp fire’s which were great. Introduced to an American camp fire treat of S’mores which I had never heard of, marshmallow, chocolate in a sandwich biscuit. Restroom stops were included within the travelling between the various locations. In the 3 days you travel nearly 900 miles.Read full review
Our 7 Day National Parks tour was jam packed with beautiful scenes and iconic picturesque sites. We learned much more than expected from our expert guides, Treviso and Chris. Bryce Canyon was our favorite for color and formation. The Grand ..Canyon and Yosemite were all we imagined. Antelope Canyon was colorful and fascinating. Monument Valley, Death Valley, and Zion we enjoyed and learned many new facts along the way. The end of our tour with San Francisco city tour was very enjoyable and informative. Our tour guides were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable and did a great job. We had great traveling companions and made many new friends. We chose the lodging option and the hotels / lodges were clean and comfortable - not luxury but to be expected on this type of trip. Somewhat negative was at a couple of parks the walks - hikes were strenuous for seniors and we were not fully informed to that fact. Included lunches left a bit to be desired. All in All - we can say it was a trip of a lifetime and we enjoyed the tour, our guides, and friendly travelling companions.Read full review
We loved the bromance between Lorenzo and the driver Tom. Lorenzo was great fun, getting excellent photo opportunities, plenty of history and knowledge of the area and providing plenty of laughs and good times all round.
It would be great ..to be sent a more detailed itinerary and have a bit more time spent in certain locations, however it was all very enjoyable and gave us an opportunity to visit many beautiful locationsRead full review

This was an unbelievable experience. There is a lot to do, see, and experience in a three day time period. Every place we went to was just as incredible as the place prior. Every time I asked myself how the next sight can be any better, it ..was either equal to or greater in beauty. Uploaded pictures don’t even begin to show the massive scale, color, and majesty of these landscapes. The night at Bryce Canyon offered a clear view of the Milky Way and a couple shooting stars could also be seen. The breakfast and lunches were more than adequate. Each camp site has shower and laundry facilities. The guide was very personable and knowledgeable. The van was comfortable during the hours of driving between stops. Minor negatives: camping sleeping mats. Mine became deflated and after a short amount of time it was like sleeping on the ground. I woke up sore. There was a miscommunication between the guide and the company (I personally called) with sleeping bags. I’d double check.
Note: At Zion the shuttle takes FOREVER. Make sure you wait on the correct side for up or down.Read full review
