What people love about Western USA Tours for Seniors
- Spectacular Canyons and National Parks (End Denver, 13 Days)
We were given so much information ahead of time about the places we were headed. Whether it be a national park, we always had info about where bathrooms, snack bars and/or tshirts were! Stephen McNally did a wonderful job of keeping our schedule and Mark, the driver, was always kind and both were professional at all times! We've been on many cruises where you can see unique sights somewhat at a distance. This trip, in spite of living out of our suitcases, was one for the books that we will never forget! Great organization showed itself over and over during our 13 day trip!
- Western Wonders
Tour guide Randy very good and very organised. Itinerary very good. Had a problem with two hotels- Road noise in Scottsdale, Construction noise outside our bedroom window that started at 5.30am in Las Vegas
- Exploring America's Great Parks
Great tour. Tour director and driver were both excellent. Our first land tour and will definitely do this again over ocean cruises.
