Reviews of USA Family Tours
- Wonders of the American West (Classic)
Did everything we wanted
- Enchanting Canyonlands (Classic)
All in all a great experience with nights spent in national parks, an excellent bus and guide. excellent all around!
- Hawaiian Discovery
It was a good trip. We saw a lot in all 4 islands, the accommodations in the hotels in Hawaii, Maui and Kauai were fantastic. The hotel in Honolulu (Twin Fin) was in need of updating. The location was good and the food good, but the room was without a chair and was a little seedy. The excursions we went on were fabulous. Loved going from island to island but were disappointed that no accommodations were made to get back from some of the excursions. We were not comfortable with having to find a cab to get back from whale watching or the sunset cruise and elected not to go. There should also be recommendations made for getting to the hotel from the airport and help with getting back to the airport at the end of the trip. All in all, a very good trip, good sights, good food and the group on the tour were wonderful.
What our customers ask about USA Family Tours

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. Zion National Park features gentle trails suitable for all ages including the popular Emerald Pools route. "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."
