    The Touring Coach was clean & comfortable. I liked the concept of the seat rotations. Our Driver Allen was pleasant & professional. Jake our Tour Guide was a delight - always approachable, very nice & friendly. His knowledge & communication skills throughout our Tour was informative, impressive and at times witty, which we loved.

    On a tour with so much to cover - miles, culture, regional variations, the whole organisation was excellent and moved on smoothly. Outstanding tour director. I have taught communication skills and have experience of tour directors on holidays all over the world. and Jake is outstanding. I heard every word which is so important and rare to find, especially for instructions. . The tone and pitch of his voice excellent. Wide range of I information to suit all levels and range of interests. And so much enthusiasm.

    The second last hotel we stayed in (Days) wasn't up to the standard expected. Think it should be dropped from the itinerary and maybe two nights in The Corque hotel in Solvang giving guests a longer period in this beautiful little town.

    Very well laid out and planned. Would be much better if you could stay in the hotels two nights instead of one, too much of a rush. The second last hotel should be dropped completely from the itinerary (Days Inn) very basic hotel. Two nights in Solvang at the Corque would be much better.

    The tour is organised well but perhaps a new route should be considered. Arizona's highlights were only Sedona and the Grand Canion.
