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!!!

Trip was good, I met some interesting people.

Great trip and well coordinated.

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.

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.

Great guide!!!! Very knowledgeable of area and history. Had super suggestions for meals and site seeing 🤗

The itinerary provided by tour radar was not exactly how the tour was set up. One of our stops said we would be doing a cruise on lake Powell. That was not provided with the tour. Also the hotels that they said we would be staying at did not line up.

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.

It was a good trip with a lot of fun outdoor activities.

This was an amazing tour! Emily was brilliant she had loads of recommendations in all of the places we stopped in and made sure that everything always ran smoothly! Thank you for a fab tour!

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.

I had an absolute blast on this trip. During this trip I experienced so many things that I have never had the opportunity to experience before. Each location was beautiful and unique from the other locations. Scott and Hank really knew their stuff and were great to be around. Any problems I had were due to my own lack of preparation. I didn't take into account that night temperatures could get close to freezing. For the daytime having good rain gear on you at all times and lots of layers will keep you warm.

Many ups and downs on that trip.

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.

Booked this as part of our honeymoon, and honestly, it made our trip! We had so much fun and saw some unforgettable sights. The tour was so enjoyable that we were saying we should have booked an even longer one because three days felt too short! A big part of what made the trip such a great one was our guide, Joe Rickertsen, who was friendly, knowledgeable and all around fun to hang out with. We learned so much and loved our interactions with him. If given the option, we'd definitely choose him to be our guide again for our future tours!

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.

I was disappointed with this tour as it was not a group tour like I was expecting. The only time I met anyone (a group or tour guide) was on the Pearl Harbour tour. Other than that I was on my own on this tour. I don't think this was made very clear when I booked the tour. I paid 1,300 euro for the tour but I could have just paid 800 euro directly to the hotel.

First day of my tour is okay, but not good. Because the driver (tour guide can’t speak English at all. It will be better if all tour guide speak English.

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.

The guide was very very good, he was very attentive and trying to adapt. Just few remarks : on wednesday evening we go back near LA and then on thursday we go to Las Vegas , couldn't we reduce the path ? On friday maybe one stop mire attractive than the outlet .. But it was a very good trip

Guide did a good job but the tour was found wanting a cooler inside temperature and the speaker system was not working

Beautiful places, less good company as I ended up with an almost exclusively Chinese group, including tour guides, so a lot of Chinese was spoken. It was also a wild mix of different tours, so groups were constantly meeting and splitting up again and everything was a bit chaotic. Nevertheless, it was a very nice trip.

I have been on a few tours, including the excellent European whirlwind(Trafalgar ) booked through Tour radar last year,but this is by far the worst. The tour finished today.We reached LA around 9 pm and were just dumped on the side of the road on the footpath where it later turned out that ONLY tour buses are allowed to stop and that too for sightseeing. No information about this potential problem was given. Uber and other cars could not enter the carpark in Farmer's market and passengers were pushing heavy luggage around trying to find where those cars could pick them up.The tour guides had left the bus 4 hours ago in Vegas and the regular driver left in Barstow due to company policy. The new driver would not unload the suitcases and was shouting at us for loading the bus wrongly. (All loading was by previous driver and he had been good.).He refused to unload them because " he hadn't done the loading" . So passengers,(everyone over 60 and a couple over 80 ), had to climb into the luggage area and unload by themselves. The guides were ok but the bizzare company policy whereby everyone leaves after collecting tip money is not acceptable. At least one person should have stayed to make sure everyone was safe.We had to stay around at farmer's market for 45 minutes because the person who was supposed to pick up the 80 year old lady (from India ) could not find a way to get to her. We couldn't simply leave her to get mugged in a deserted , poorly lit corner of an empty car park. All in all, reasonable sightseeing but poor pre-tour communication and organisation and somewhat lax attitude with poor accountability in terms of leaving paying customers to fend for themselves and that too after 9 pm in a deserted, poorly lit corner of LA. The mind boggles. Tour Radar must look into this and make sure the company tightens up. Your credibility is at stake too and one day it could well be a tragedy if some defenceless person gets mugged or worse because the company cares two hoots about customer safety. Until they have improved, neither this or the associated should be coming up in Tour Radar searches.( Interestingly, different company names have been used for different passengers. Some had booked through AAA, some through Amadeo etc). I will not be recommending this company even though the guides were friendly and mostly helpful. The last few hours of the tour certainly left a bad taste in everyone's mouth but that's a problem with the company and probably not controllable by the guides. Poor ending to a reasonable tour.
