The entire trip was amazing. Our tour guide, Katie, and bus driver, Steve, were excellent - knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and reliable. Sedona and Yellowstone were my favorite sites, but the best part of the trip were the organization, schedules, 36 fellow travelers and the weather. Well worth every penny we spent and every minute on the tour.Archie Foor

When a stranger wearing only underpants knocked on our door late at night in our Grand Canyon Lodge, seeking help because he had fallen and hurt himself, I didn’t know what to do or how to get help. I called our tour leader, Eileen, who came to our room immediately. She took the situation in hand, contacting security to help the man and telling me to go back to bed and get some rest. Throughout this emergency she was calm and cool, kind and understanding to the man, and all in all just perfect.

Great experience, with many big and small happenings. All special memories. Highly recommend! Keep checking off your bucket list items. A tour is the way to go since the parks are so crowded. We always had parking and our tour guide immersed us in history and fun facts throughout the trip. Time on the bus flew by! Just do it!! Oh, Collette arranged for me to use the airport closest to me.

Owning my own travel agency and being a tour guide its often I cannot fully connect to a tour led by another person. This tour far exceeded my expectations. I have completed four tours in the majority of these areas, but I have never saw the West as this tour presented. The guide was truly exceptional, and his caring attitude ensured that we got more than what we paid for on this journey. My favorite experience was on the Riverwalk, I broke away from the group and found myself reflecting of my life. This walk was so calm and relaxing. I was so impressed by the National Parks of American tour that I plan to promote it as future must see destinations for my clients. This one was a vacation that I never knew how much I appreciated or needed in my life.Suzie Housley

This tour was everything it said it was in that we saw a lot. However, it was really a "drive by" of the Parks. Our tour director, Sheryl, was awesome. She has extensively researched our destinations and routes and shared loads of info and videos. The bus driver was equally great. He was so good navigating the switchbacks of Zion. Bill was very personable and professional and an added component of the trip. He and Sheryl made a good team. Having hip problems I didn't anticipate the pain I would experience sitting on the bus for such long periods of time. Given the large amount of miles traveled, Sheryl, allowed for as many stops as availability and time allowed. It was still painful. I've never taken so many ibuprophen in 12 days. I don't know if this info would have influenced my decision to go on the trip. I do not regret going. We had a wonderful tour. The most memorable experience was the amount of respect everyone showed to each other. No complainers and no one was cronically tardy. We all had fun.Mary Gilfillan

The rooms were clean and most exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Bryan Mulvaney was so personable and full of knowledge about every state park and monument that we visited. He even added a personal touch by providing his own videos of the sites we were about to see. What impressed me very much was that he was able to assist me in getting substitutions for some of the meals that I was unable to eat due to food allergies. Bryan’s ability to add humor to the tour group also made for a fun trip. I would definitely recommend this tour and Collette specifically.

The tour needed a more structured rotation for getting on and off the bus, which became very difficult for people in the back of the bus. Improvements in the bus like cup holders and tray tables plus more legroom in some of the seats were needed for such a long tour. Written slips with the AM timing and destination for the next day should have been used. Bus driver was excellent!

Six of us got covid. This could have been avoided if everyone wore masks but out of 55 people, only four wore masks. Also, it would be great if the water bottles were recycled. If that can't happen, then we do not need water bottles. Everyone was told to bring their own reusable one anyway. Please inforce your own suggestions. Thank you!!Janice Cohen

We had not been to this part of our beautiful county and at every turn, each day we thought how could this get ant better - but it did. Going in October was a risk (Yellowstone was closed couple of days before we got there because of snow) but this time of year was beautiful, Arizona a beautiful 80 degrees, golden Aspens, snow on the mountains, snap in the air with blue skies, magnificent sun sets (Grand Canon North Rim) and the stars in the evenings. We saw so much wild life, seemed every morning we started off seeing something unusual, Condors, eagle, bison, elk, moose just to name a couple.Beverly

My reason for 2 stars is one reason only - COST. The cost of the tour was over $7,000. I understand I needed to pay the single fare but $1,500 for that was ridiculous and if I had stayed in a room with someone, that meant the cost would have been over $5,500. That is EXTREME, especially when I just found out about a trip with Trafalgar going to basically the exact same places and the cost for that trip for double occupancy is under $2,800 per person (this trip is being offered in 2019 right through the community travel agent where I live). On a positive note, I LOVED the trip itself. I loved seeing all the National Parks as well as other side trips. It was one of the best trips of my life but I am sure I could have had this same feeling with another tour company at a much lower cost.

The most amazing natural views of America - sitting on a deck and watching the sunset in the Grand Canyon, the beauty of Sedona, Bryce, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons. A lot of riding on the bus but it is worth it to see all the beauty there is to see and watching the landscape pass from your seat on the bus. Bison, osprey, elk, mountain goats, eagles, cattle, horses, so much to see. If you are lucky you get Ted as a bus driver, the best, and Nicki was fabulous!Lynne Cohen

I feel like we saw everything that would have interested us on this tour and no stops that didn't. Which is way we choose Collette. I did feel a few times rush and would have liked just a little more time, especially when we had to fit sightseeing & lunch in our time slot. But I also understand that was the only way to see everything that we covered on this particular tour.Karen Kendra

It is really hard to pick out any one experience. We went to see national parks, and we certainly did that, starting with the Grand Canyon which I thought would be my favorite. Then we got to each of the others and, of course, I thought they were a favorite. In other words, they were all my favorites, each was so different. But the most amazing part of this trip was the scenery and the other people on this trip. Alice was wonderful in giving out the history of each area. I could go on and on, but this was the most wonderful, fun and memorable experience of a lifetime.Patricia Vermette

Also, we were given a prolonged lunch stop before Jackson Hole and then got into town to find we had only a short time to look around before we boarded the bus for the ride to the hotel. Why didn't we get to town earlier and reduce the prolonged lunch break?

The hotel in Salt Lake City gave us a miserable one star hotel experience when we complained the A/C was not working in our room. We went from a plush four star room to one with furniture that had drawers that would not shut, wrinkled, nasty rugs, doors with wood peeling and cracking at the bottom and a "plastic" type sink top. It did have running water and A/C. That's the best I can say about it. Otherwise, accommodations were good, if not downright rustic.

Even little Cody, Wyoming had a great museum about Buffalo Bill and Indians. I really enjoyed Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The visit there was made even better by our stay in a first class resort-style hotel at The Lodge at Jackson Hole. The evening was fun with a covered wagon trip, complete with Indian ambush, to a cowboy dinner in the park. Great way to sightsee. Great way to see an amazing part of America.Joseph

Fantastic tour. Only 2 suggestions: 1. A few more hours at the Old Faithful Geyser and less time at Cody Cultural Center (kinda a snore after a half hour), and 2. In Jackson Hole, offer Wildlife Safari as an optional excursion. I did this on my own and it was awesome. Guides are biologists and know their stuff. And were able to take a small group (3 of us) into the back unpaved roads to see the wildlife. Well worth the money.Linda
