What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to Western USA
When is the most affordable time to visit Western USA?
Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) are the best times to find deals on Western USA tours. These months bring lower hotel prices in cities like Las Vegas and Los Angeles while offering good weather for outdoor activities in national parks. Hotel rates tend to spike in June as summer tourism peaks. Booking well ahead pays off. TourRadar data shows the best deals come from reserving tours 175-1360 days before departure.
What entrance fees are typically included in Western USA budget tours?
The base price of most tours covers entry to major national parks including Yellowstone Yosemite Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. Tours like "Wild West Encompassed" bundle access to Zion Bryce Canyon Arches and Monument Valley into the upfront cost. Extra activities cost more. A helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon runs USD 280-400 while Antelope Canyon tours cost USD 90-100. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Having park entries included was great value and saved us both money and time at the entrances."
What type of accommodation can I expect on budget tours in Western USA?
Budget tours mix camping with basic hotel stays. Most campgrounds near places like Bryce Canyon National Park provide modern comforts including electricity Wi-Fi hot showers and toilets. Hotel stays are typically in 2-3 star properties such as the Clarion Anaheim Resort in Los Angeles or Bally's in Las Vegas. A TourRadar traveler shared this about the camping experience: "The campsites were well-maintained with great facilities and stunning locations right in the national parks."
How much should I budget per day for a budget tour in Western USA?
Daily costs run USD 270-325 covering lodging transport guide services and some meals. The 7-day "Las Vegas to San Francisco" camping tour averages USD 318 per day while the 3-day "Southwest National Parks Express" costs USD 325 daily. According to one TourRadar review: "The tour offered great value considering all the incredible places we visited and activities included like the Monument Valley 4x4 tour."
How much additional money should I budget for meals not included?
Plan for USD 40-60 per day for meals not in the tour price. While many itineraries cover breakfasts and some lunches you'll need extra for other meals especially dinners in major cities. The 7-day Las Vegas to San Francisco tour includes 5 breakfasts and 6 lunches. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Food costs were reasonable - we spent around USD 15-20 for lunch and USD 25-30 for dinner when meals weren't included."
What's the average group size on budget Western USA tours?
These tours keep groups small focusing on travelers aged 18-39.
