    Lucy traveled in August

    5.0
    I had a wonderful day out to Death Valley along with another travelling companion. Our guide, and driver, Rachel, is incredibly knowledgeable, she is completely dedicated and loves her job. She took us to places totally off the beaten track. Places I had never heard of before, just so we could get the best out of our experience of Death Valley and I can say with absolute certainty, that we did. Thank you Rachel, you are a star. I would definitely recommend you and this tour company to anyone I know who would like to tour the USA. A happy customer. Lucy Terry. July 2012

    Excellent driver and director. Would have liked more time in Yellowstone as there was a lot we didn’t get to see eg Grand Prismatic Spring which was disappointing. Good hotels
