Reviews of USA Family Tours
- National Park Wonders (Start Jackson)
Could have done without the towns full of t-shirts and Bear town. Liked the nature and sculptures the best.
- Five Epic National Parks
Lucked into the right time for this trip avoiding high season, where time that would have been wasted waiting to enter / park / view a site was able to be used to attend other scenes. Loved EVERYTHING. But cherished rafting the snake river around Jackson Hole at the beginning of the tour. And the helicopter ride at / around / through the Grand Canyon at the end. A real life participant in your own memory / movie trumps a single photo for me.
- Enchanting Canyonlands (Classic)
All in all a great experience with nights spent in national parks, an excellent bus and guide. excellent all around!

What are the best seasons for family travel in different US regions?
Each region of the United States shines in different seasons. New England's fall colors peak from September through October.
