What people love about Active Tours in North America
- Golden West Adventure
Best California tour! We loved everything about starting from our comfortable bus, to our tour guide, tours taken, places and time of stay as well as the accommodations. Best of all, we were a terrific group of people. Highly recommend it.
- Grand Teton / Yellowstone National Parks 2 Day / 1 Night Wildlife Adventure
Can't go wrong with this company or their guides. Took two tours, yellowstone and tetons. Great time and we didn't miss anything, thanks to our tour guide for each trip. Would highly recommend. I know if I go back, who I will call. Super people.
- Western National Parks 7 Day Explorer Lodging
I had a wonderful time. I was a little disappointed in the accommodations at the Ellis Island hotel. Our deposit had not been taken care of as well as the resort fee. Our guide took care of the resort fee with his Bindlestiff Credit card but the hotel would no let him cover the deposit. The next night at the 395 travel lodge in Bishop our travel companions had an ant infestation in there room. Our SanFrancisco tour did not live up to the the booking guide. The was not stop at Fisherman’s Wharf.
