Reviews of USA Family Tours
- Wonders of the American West (Classic)
We had a wonderful time. Don't expect five star hotels as this was, for the most part, in the accommodations in the National Parks. Richard Nieto, our driver was great! The tour was well planned out and made the maximum use of the time. Beautiful scenery. I would recommend this to anyone wishing a rustic experience.
- Spectacular Canyons and National Parks (End Denver)
It was excellent in all aspects from start to finish. I am very satisfied and will definitely consider using tour radar and cost savers again in the future.
- Best of the Canyonlands
Great tour of a vast part of our country. Knowledgeable tour director.
What our customers ask about USA Family Tours
What are the best family-friendly national parks to visit in the USA?
Several national parks across the United States stand out for family adventures. Rocky Mountain National Park provides an accessible wilderness experience with the 48-mile Trail Ridge Road. Yellowstone draws families to its predictable geysers like Old Faithful and abundant wildlife viewing spots.

"Great tour encompassing almost 1200 miles over 10 days seeing incredible sites" notes one TourRadar traveler about Rocky Mountain. Lodging ranges from the historic Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs to the traditional park lodges within Yellowstone itself.
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. The Southwest's mild temperatures make March to May and September to November ideal for exploring. Hawaii maintains pleasant weather year-round with temperatures between 70-80°F. Summer months (June-August) work best for Yellowstone visits when trails are clear and wildlife active. One TourRadar traveler reports: "We enjoyed our autumn colors experience with amazing views throughout New England making it perfect for family photos and outdoor activities."

"The hotel stays were fantastic with plenty of space for our family and great locations near attractions" shares a TourRadar traveler.

The range of family activities spans educational to adventurous experiences. National parks offer ranger programs that teach about local wildlife and geology.
