  Although the trip was good, we were 52 people without name tags. When I tried to leave this comment with Trafalgar, they claimed this was to help the environment. Surely a company of that size could be less patronizing and find a way to allow passengers and to tour directors to remember each other's names without impacting the environment! Also, the Rushmore Hotel was not acceptable. The location was not in the heart of Rapid City. The décor was a factory motif, complete with exposed pipes. There were only two elevators for four bus loads of travelers and one was out of order. The breakfast pancake was so hard I could not cut it with a knife. Also the airport in Rapid City is very small with seven gates and few carriers. This makes traveling difficult! In conclusion, I would recommend Tourradar, but not Trafalgar!

  -We did not have name tags so it was difficult to get to know the 52 people on our trip. - we saw many sights but never seemed to have enough time to really see them. - Deadwood and the local guide were a waste of time. Please eliminate that! - the Rushmore Hotel is less than poor!! The location was terrible. The sheets were scratchy. It has two elevators and only one worked, the decor resembled a factory and the food was terrible. We were given rubbery chicken for our last dinner and the breakfast pancakes were so hard, they could not be cut with a knife! Please do not book this hotel again! - Getting flights out of Rapid City are difficult. Please find a larger airport with more frequent flights.

  Tom Williams was super knowledgeable about the area we traveled through in the western US national parks. Best tour director I have ever traveled with. He made the trip fun and informative!

  Kory set the standard for excellence...she was told this by virtually everyone on that trip...she shyly deferred to Trafalgar saying that the Company gave her the tools to do her job....meeting Kory, in itself, was a once in a lifetime treat...her classiness, her personality, knowledge and patience were unparalleled.....she took a great trip and made it the most pleasantly memorable trip of a lifetime...every discussion we had with fellow travelers included comments of how the trip was positively effected by her....she gets 10 stars out of 5

  The National Parks Wonders trip was our first with Trafalgar and it was MUCH better that we ever expected. Our tour guide Tyson was absolutely fantastic. He made sure everything went perfectly. He even gave my wife a card on her birthday. His extensive knowledge of places and things along the trip made it so much more interesting. And Ken our bus driver was amazing. Everyone on our trip was very friendly and fun to chat with. Trafalgar had everything organized well. We appreciated all the breakfasts and dinners.

  Could have done without the towns full of t-shirts and Bear town. Liked the nature and sculptures the best.

  One of the best tours I have ever been on. My husband and my parents all were on this tour. We met so many nice people from all over the world. Our driver Tim and our tour guide Korie were fantastic. So much knowledge and information. Our ride was safe and so comfortable. The places we visited were awesome. Seeing nature in its beauty was so fantastic. Amazing to see so many diffent natural and man made wonders. I suggest taking all additional tours. The stay before the tour in Las Vegas was at the Tropicana hotel and it was very nice. Highly recommend taking this tour and leave the details to Trafalgar. Relax and enjoy the journey.
