What people love about USA Tours in September
- 7 day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Tour
Enough time of hiking each day to see National Parks. Our guide Chris was very helpful and experienced, organized well and tried every effort to accommodate each one's need. Food was good, we were fed well. We had a fantastic time and memory. Scenery is terrific
LAS VEGAS-ZION-BRYCE-ARCHES-CANYONLANDS- MONUMENT VALLEY-THE GRAND CANYON-LAS VEGAS. Highly recommend this tour, with Justin. The BEST experience and week of my life. Every park had its own unique views and feeling. I've travelled the world but this tour, and specifically our guide & driver Justin Ebert, allowed us to fully see in-depth wonder 24 hours of each day and park. Justin was not only knowledgeable, friendly, and a master of accommodating a variety of personalities and requests, but also went well beyond the tour's description and itinerary. He genuinely was concerned with every aspect and person's needs, and 13 tourists quickly came together as a travelling unit. The long stretches of road fly by with gorgeous scenery the whole way, in the comfortable van. The optional Canyoneering tour in Moab was fantastic, led by a local operator. Tips for future travellers: bring a portable device charger because phones & cameras will run low every day and there rarely are outlets to charge. Bring car charger with multiple ports for more than one device. Definitely appreciate the times you are completely disconnected from the 'real' world. You'll catch up on news, *and* sleep after this active vacation.
7 Day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Camping Tour
- Mighty 5 From Salt Lake City
Our tour guide was very good at responding to the various needs of our group, and the differing levels of ability. The food was good (but not excellent). The biggest problem was with the transportation. All of the luggage would not fit in the luggage so it had to sit in the aisle of the van. This meant it had to be moved each time we got in and out of the van. This was a significant inconvenience, and extra work for our driver/guide. Finally, a hotel closer to the airport would have been more convenient on the morning of departure.
