What people love about Southwest USA Tours for Seniors
- Western Wonders
Ken was excellent...a true asset to Cosmos. We did a lot in the time allocated, tho another day in LA, Vegas and SF would have been better, as, if we arrived in the pm, one whole day was gone. We would've paid an extra $10 per day each for breakfast....would've saved a helluva lot of hassles, esp for seniors.
- Best of the Canyonlands (7 Days)
Overall the tour was very enjoyable. The scenery was beautiful. Though the Vail stop was a disappointment as most shops and eateries closed. Cruise Director was very informative and very knowledgeable of the places. Captain Ron was most helpful getting us on and off the bus. Also a very good driver.
- Golden West Adventure
Tour good but the prepaid airport transfer was over charge USD 20 is too much.
