Rocky Mountains Tour Companies

A busy week with an exceptional and personable guide. Mike Brown did all he could to make our experience in yellowstone and the grand tetons a lifetime experience. We were very happy, if exhausted by the tour.

THis was our first touring experience and it was great. With the exception of a cancelled flight going to the tour and some miss communication in the beginning of when we would get there, it was fantastic. Our guide was great and well organized.

The scenery and the animals were spectacular. The pace of the tour was great. Our tour guide, Cade, gave us enough time at the stops to see the wildlife. He would search until he found animals to see. We were able to see bears, elk, moose, sheep, wolves, prong horns, sheep. It was an amazing trip. Cade is an amazing guide.

The entire tour was excellent! Our guide, Kevin, is a lifelong local, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things in Yosemite. His stories of life in Yellowstone are priceless! We saw all the corners of the park, and all possible animals: elk, moose, black and grizzly, pronghorn, wolf, mountain goat!! All in all a tremendous experience!!!

Great trip and well coordinated.

The places that we saw and visited were amazing and the itinerary was very good but we didn’t visit all the places that we were supposed to including The Chapel of the Holy Cross and the Oak Valley Canyon viewpoint. Too much time, 2 hours, were spent in Sedona township. Not much to do there other than shop and eat lunch.

The Utah Mighty Five with G Adventures was a great experience and worth the cost. It exceeded my expectations,

Well paced tour of Utah and Arizonas National Parks. Great guide. But the small van was a bit too cramped for 23 people. The food and restaurant options were also limited. especially for a gluten free seeker.

Overall, the tour was very fun and we'll put together. The tour guides were all friendly, and seemed to work well as a team. Accomodations were not bad, but there were better options directly adjacent. Food options were pretty much all fast food, which makes sense for the tour concept. However, dinner options could have been a bit better. We really would have appreciated a little more hiking and exploring time, and a couple of the guides did the best to accommodate that. However, 20 minute stops are just not enough time to get "out and experience" the areas.

We had a great time on our tour. It was jammed pack full of fun and information. Our guide Patricia was the best. She knew so much history about the states we travelled to and the parks we visited. I would definitely recommend this tour and Patricia.

I'm very disappointed with my experience with Trafalgar. It started when I did not receive proper communication for the initial meeting point (no address) in Las Vegas. I did receive the first email only, with no instructions, 3 days before departure. The Travel Director, he failed to include me on the two subsequent emails (with address to meet) that followed with more detail/ information where to meet for the Welcome Reception dinner on the 1st day. I ended up unable to find the group and missed the Reception dinner on my first day. It is lack of organization and communications skills and a lack of consideration (especially for a solo senior traveler) specifically directed at me. I do not know why but he failed all expectations and I’m very disappointed with Trafalgar operation. At the end of trip back to Las Vegas was also delayed by 1hour from the expected time of arrival. I had other shows planned in Las Vegas due to delayed, and I had to miss and lost my money too.

Great tour director and bus driver. Itinerary was just what I was looking for. I saw so much—more than I expected.

I cannot say enough about my first trip with Tours of Distinction! Our tour guide, Lorraine, our tour director, Julie, our bus diver, Nick were beyond awesome! They were very accommodating and always at our beck and call! They were very personable, helpful and fun! Every minute was filled with eating great food, enjoying fun entertainment, meeting new beautiful people, visiting new places, enjoying pleasant rides across many breathtaking areas of the western part of our country while listening to the history of that area, and then resting comfortably in extremely nice accommodations every night! I will be taking another trip with this company!

Had a wonderful time visiting the parks. Loretta our trip host was great! Billie our driver was the best! All the hotels were very nice except the two that did not have elevators. Mandalay Bay did not provide breakfast. I had to pay for my own ($31 for two eggs and a milk). Their restaurants didn't open until 7am. Our bus left at 7 am so room service was necessary. The $25 card could not be used. We were given ample time at all the parks. The restaurants were good. The BBQ's were great. Loved the rock climbing. Didn't like the dusty Monument tour but loved their BBQ dinner after. The Arrow bus was roomy and comfortable. Antelope Canyon was the best.

Great tour, driver and leader.

My first longer coach tour and I wasn't sure if it was going to be for me. How wrong was I. It was a fantastic tour, continually being amazing by the beautiful of all the National Parks. Wow, Wow, Wow. The tour director was Andrew and Coach Captain was Clay both were excellent and took great care of us making sure we knew everything we needed to know to make the most of this fantastic experience.

Excellent Tour - Unforgettable We had a great time. It was an unforgettable experience. The parks are beautiful. Our guide, Adrian was knowledgeable and helpful. Great sunny weather.

Great Experience This tour was pricey but it was a wonderful experience. It was sunny every day and the temperatures were mild. The views were unforgettable. Everything was well organized. We had only four people on our tour so it could be tailored to our preferences. The tour guide, Adrian was knowledgeable and helpful. Overall, a fantastic experience. We'd recommend Bindelestiff tours.

The tour of Utah’s Mighty Five more than lived up to expectations. I enjoyed the scenery, the guided hikes and was comfortable with the pace at each stop. Our tour guide Michelle was friendly and knowledgeable. She answered our questions and shared a little of her family history growing up in the region. She also picked some excellent places to stop for lunches and dinners. We often had good views and good food — the best of both worlds. Hotel accommodations were super. I was one of nine guests on the tour. We made friendships that likely will last for some time. Can’t beat that.

My wife and I booked the Mighty Five Tour for the end of September. Overall, the tour and the opportunity of seeing Zion, the Arches, The Grand Staircase, etc… was a very good experience for us. Kendra, our tour guide, was very pleasant and had a great personality for the seven days with us as a group of twelve. This was her first tour and not as knowledgeable as we had hoped for with the areas we visited. It would have been helpful to us and the rest of the group if the tour guide had knowledge of the surroundings, the special areas of interest, an historical perspective of Zion, Grand Staircase, the Arches, etc… This is not the fault of Kendra, rather, the onus is on the upper management that did not provide proper training for the tour guide. Many times it felt like she was just a driver not a tour guide. We fault the management for this. With training and guidance, Kendra will be a super tour guide on future tours. The tour van was super comfortable and with the Captains chairs. With that said, the hotel accommodations each night were admittedly very good, clean and comfortable. In fact, a few hotel rooms we wanted to stay another day or two. Most days we arrived at the hotel at 6 pm or later. By the time we settled in, looked for a place to have dinner, it was time to go to bed for an early departure the next morning, typically at 6:30 am . We would have preferred to arrive no later than 5 pm so we can enjoy the hotel room, amenities, and beautiful views some of these locations provided. The meals for breakfast, lunch, and two dinners were amazing and left us very satisfied. As a matter of fact, the Mighty Five Tour could be considered a food tour with a side of sightseeing and hiking. Bottom line: We are very pleased we experienced the Mighty Five tour and would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the amazing beauty of America.

Tour was highly organized, however, a bit fast paced for us. Up everyday at 5am, hours on the bus.

guide Evan Lowrey was informative, helpful, and friendly. He kept us busy and on schedule and managed all the snafu's that came up.

Great trip & guide Anthony. Saw twice as much in half the time that I could do myself. Perfectly timed for sunrise & sunset views. Optimal site to view eclipse, accompanied by 2 astronomers & 2 telescopes. Enjoyed the optional helicopter ride over Grand Canyon.

This would be an excellent "off the beaten path" itinerary even without the eclipse. The scenery is spectacular.

Simone was our tour guide and was great. Pleasant. Very knowledgeable.

Tour guide Simone and driver Mark were excellent examples of tour host. Simone divided her bus time into thirds (1/3 talking, 1/3 video, and 1/3 of silence for resting). This was a nice balance.
