    This was really a great trip. I had a very good time. The scenery was incredible I would recommend anyone who has never been to this part of the USA make sure you put it on your bucket list. John was an incredible tour guide friendly and outgoing at every turn. Very importantly he was very open to suggestions and always ask the group what we wanted to do, this was his priority. I will definitely recommend trail of the ancients to my friends and recommend southwest tours in general.

    Your itinerary for Tour of the Ancients is outdated and inaccurate. I know about Southwest Adventure Tours until much later in booking experience. I was misinformed about tipping.

    It was a good, pleasant trip with very interesting things to see. My favorite was Monument Valley. I liked the knowledgeable tour guide Robin (aka Patrick Shade)🙂 The van could use some accessories like hooks to hang stuff, netting behind the seats, cupholders, handles and options for trash in each row. It was otherwise a comfortable ride. All but the hotel in Albuquerque were great, because it had few tasty breakfast choices and the location offered very almost no walkable option for stores or other things to explore. I personally could do with less box lunches, but maybe there are not enough lunch options in the travelled areas.

    Robin was a brilliant guide and a real font of knowledge. Despite the weather being less than ideal on a few days we saw so much. Mesa Verde and Monument Valley were real highlights. The hotels were lovely and the food was great. It was a wonderful trip and I look forward to travelling with you again.
