    Seeing the Grand Canyon was most impressive. The hotel we stayed at in the park had much to be desired. The rooms were ok but the food was terrible. Evening buffet food tasted terrible and was cold. Breakfast was ok. Walking around Sedona seemed like a waste of time. Tour guide was good but not best at communicating. Often told us info after we were on the bus that we should have had before we got on the bus.

    I especially loved visiting and comfortably hiking Zion National Park. During this tour I would have loved to see more of the Sedona area either by a bus ride around the area and stopping to enjoy the beauty of nature with some easy hiking/walking rather than shop ping.Loved the open boat rides. I was thrilled that my tour director kept open lines of communication with us and the bus driver as well. We felt very well cared for throughout the tour. Thank you Collette for allowing me to meet so many kind and interesting fellow travelers.

    It was a wonderful trip—beautiful country, canyons were awesome , the tour director was so knowledgeable and gave us so much info and history that we would not have learned so much on our own. She was able to point out specific places, spotted animals, vegetation that it was a whirlwind of information along the whole trip. Another factor was being able to stop at different places to shop, and enjoy the different areas one might not visit on their own. The meals and places where we stayed and ate that were included were very good also. My most favorable experience was the open raft ride down the Colorado River. It was so peaceful and beautiful, and very fun. It was a treat being driven by a fantastic bus driver, being hosted along the whole trip, and to end up in Vegas—a dream vacation!!!!

    The tour was great! It was an easy activity tour with options to be more active (take hikes, etc) if you wanted. There was a good amount of free time with suggestions on things you could do. The included meals were excellent and the accomodations were very good and located near food and activities. Our tour guide (Joel) and driver (Ted) were very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and fun! We also appreciated that Joel took several group photos so we have those to remember everyone by. We never went more than about 1.5 hours without a restroom break and something interesting to see while stopped. My only complaint is the short amount of time spent at the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon and too much time (2 days) at Lake Powell. I would rather spend time at the Natural Wonders than a man-made lake.

    The natural beauty of the Canyon Country of the American Southwest is breath-taking. Ann Boulais was a superb tour manager. We had a great time! The only glitch was at the Lake Powell Resort where the hotel didn't have our rooms ready upon arrival, which forced our group of 70+ year olds to walk A LONG WAY from the buildings housing our rooms to the lobby and restaurants. Very unfortunate and shame on this hotel.

    Overall the tour was wonderful. However, traveling on a national holiday probably made things more difficult (we will probably not do that again). While the hotel room were generally good we always seemed to be located far away from the center portion of the parks (especially in the grand canyon). A long hike for some of the older tour members. The tour manager (Kathy) and the bus driver (Ted) were fantastic and made the trip the success it was for us.

    The tour manager was very unprofessional in dress, attitude and ability. She always looked like she was on vacation with the excuse she missed her plane and did not have time to get her Collette stuff. She was unorganized and seems fluster most of the time. But the worst was that after me and my roommate exited the bus, another person was still on the bus and heard her call us "Bitches". which I did not know until after the trip. And she also left us when walking on one of the trails when she said she would wait while we went to the bathroom. If I ever found out she was going to be my tour guide on another trip, I would immediately cancel.

    My big complaint is that we were traveling in a party of 4. I was not pleased that our two rooms were not beside each other and sometimes on different floors or different buildings. I would have like adjoining rooms. The second complaint is that the accommodations, except for the last two nights, were not very good for the cost of the tour. The hotel at Lake Powell was the only option for dinner, when we were expected to be responsible for our own meal.

    This was truly an amazing tour of the most beautiful area of our country. Every day had two or three stops with breathtaking views. Almost every minute of our bus trip our tour guide filled with information about the countryside, the history of that area, and advised us what we could do (10-minute hike down into Bryce Canyon but more difficult walk back up), what to wear for the fluctuating temperature, and what time he expected us back to keep to our itinerary. The accommodations were great, the food not always as good, and the people we traveled with delightful. Most memorable was our visit to Zion National Park, driving in, hiking through and seeing the beautiful cliffs from our gorgeous motel room.

    Our experience was affected by my wife's accidental fall and we had to separate from the tour for about 19 hours. Even though the accident lessened our experience and made the trip harder, we still enjoyed the trip, the scenery that we got to see was worth the effort that it took to get there. The entire trip was rushed, we traveled so much in such a short time. We travelled 6 to 8 hours to have 45 minutes but it was worth it because what we got to see. We enjoyed the trip and Collette did a good job, but we did think travelling by bus was hard.

Journey explored Sedona & God’s wonderful creation of Oak Creek Canyon, Kaibab National Forest, the south and east rooms of the Grand Canyon, and surrounding beauty of Bryce Canyon, Glen Canyon dam, Lake Powell, river cruise of Navajo and Antelope Canyons, Sunset point, and Zion National Park, culminating with 12 hours in Las Vegas.

    Tour was great, plane reservations were not. We were booked on Delta from Sacramento with a layover in Salt Lake City before landing in Phoenix. Plus the $30 checked baggage fee. On the return leg, we again flew Delta, from Las Vegas with a layover in Los Angeles before landing in Sacramento. Plus the $30 checked baggage fee. We could have flown on Southwest direct to Phoenix, free bag. And returned on Southwest direct from Las Vegas to Sacramento in 1 hour instead of 7, again free bag. There were people who got to fly Southwest back east who got home before we did. None of this made sense. Seems like the baggage fee could have been paid for us since Delta wasn't the only flight option.

    The scenery at each park was magnificent. At Lake Powell in the evening the park rangers set up powerful telescopes to see the stars and planets. We were able to see Jupiter and the rings around it, along with Venus and Mars. The rangers also pointed out with a laser all the constellations. So impressive and a wonderful surprise. They do it once a month and we were lucky enough to be there that night.

    I have tried to email you since our return but the email address I have found saying that this is away to contact you have not worked .There are several reasons why i will not use Collect again. 1. Before we left Uk you our travel agented phoned us and said you wanted to know if we wanted a smoking room at the Paris hotel Las Vegas. We said no. When we reach the Paris Hotel Vegas you have put us in a smoking room. 2. The transfer vouchers from the Paris Hotel to Vegas airport were not issued and the tour guide made rather a thing of it saying she needed to check through our documentation as we might not Know what it looked like. The fact that there were several of us did not matter. 3.We stayed at the Paris Hotel Thursday Friday and left on the Saturday. In our documentation it said we had a breakfast provided. When we told our tour guide this she said show me proof. We showed her the evidence but would not accept this and would not issue vouchers. It was not just us but two other British couples had the same info that there should have been breakfast on the Friday. The tour guide also thought that we had booked an extra day in Vegas when we had not. So altogether not at satisfactory holiday and this was the 3rd one we had booked with you. We have told our travel agent that we are looking at a holiday to Canada but you would not be our preferred agent where as in the past you were our number 1 tour provider.

    Overall, the tour itself covered just about everything a person could ask to see. However, I found the time on the bus to be too long and the time at the parks too short. Bus seats do not adequately hold a 220 pound person, so partner is squished for hours at a time. Single persons are allowed two seats the whole trip, which seems unfair to those who need more room. Meals were plentiful and overall quality of rooms was fair to good.
