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.

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. Having a driver to and from the airport was a great way to begin and end a wonderful adventure.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The seats on the bus were too small. By the end of the tour everyone was complaining about the cramped space. Had we been aware of the seat room we would not have booked the tour. I do not expect we will do another bus tour.

Zion and Bryce Canyons were exceptional, as was the time in Jackson, Snake River float was a lot of fun.

The reason I put good instead of excellent for motels is due to the fact that we were always overlooking the parking lot. I would have thought we could see more in the parks from our rooms. I was disappointed by that. I also would have liked 1more day in Yellowstone to go up to the north loop. Denise Henley was the best tour guide I have ever had. I would love to know what other tours she would be on.

It was a good tour and got to see all the parks which were beautiful. Some accommodations were not the best. Would have preferred more meals off a menu then buffets for dinner. Thought Byrce National Park was the best along with Mount Rushmore.

as I said above I saw everything I wanted to see. I feel for the amount we paid, all dinners should have been included.

Our tour leader, Brian, and bus driver, George, were best I've had in taking about a half dozen tours. They were both so knowledgeable, considerate, and helpful. My only recommended change would be to allow for more non-included meals, as many of the restaurants were not particularly appealing in their food offerings.

The best way to see the National Parks is a guided tour with Collette. Staying inside the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone Parks, seeing Bryce Canyon and Zion was breath taking. Had a great time at the Bar J Ranch for our chuck wagon cookout and show after we ate dinner. We were able to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra perform. Also found a great Italian restaurant in Salt Lake City called Valter's Osteria. Pictures alone can't describe the scenery you see along the way, you have to see it for yourself..

The sights were incredible. Overall the accommodations were good. I cannot say they were great, except for Yellowstone. The last two need to be changed or updated. They were not of Collette standards.

Overall the experience is one I wouldn't have wanted to miss. There was one glitch about breakfast at the Grand Canyon, but that was immediately addressed although it has not yet been resolved. We are also hoping a location on Google+ where we can share our pictures can be made available.

Visiting Bryce Canyon, beautiful. Not enough time to hike to bottom there. Mt. Rushmore was awesome also, need more time there and less at Crazy Horse. I

The TM was very good. Just missed some info when sitting in the back of the bus. Most of the accommodations were great. The only exception was because of the special setting.

There is no way to choose a 'favorite memorable experience' when you are traveling in our beautiful country. This entire trip and all others we've taken have been memorable - we continue to talk with others about our wonderful times. But below are some of the many good times we had during this particular tour: We participated in the Wildlife Scenic Float and the Salt Lake City Temple Square Tour – both exceptional. We loved the cowboy chuck wagon experience – several of our tour members had starring roles – it was great fun. The step on guides for both Salt Lake City and Yellowstone were fantastic. Old Faithful, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial – full of informative and colorful displays and inspiration.

The tour, from airport limousine service to state-of-the-art tour coach transportation, made for a dream vacation. The tour manager was superb. Yes, I mean superb. The coach driver was outstanding in his operation and maintenance of a spotless vehicle. The itinerary was excellent and the tedium of the few long travel periods was mitigated by the good humor and well-prepared activities offered by the tour manager.

Found the Hoodoos amazing .Also the Cody Museum and Mount Rushmore were really amazing. Needed more time in Scottsdale, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. Don't know if there was anything to see in Rapid City, since we arrived too late in the day. Overall the itinerary was excellent. Although the group was rather large, it worked well. Everyone was delightful and all added to the enjoyment of the trip.

The National Parks tour was a great way to see some beautiful parts of America for the first time. From Sedona, Arizona to Rapid City, South Dakota (Mt. Rushmore). I saw places I'd never thought I'd see. Bryce Canyon, Utah was an amazing sight to see, with it's red rock formations. But just about every stop was interesting and enjoyable. 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.

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.
