What people love about USA Tours for Seniors
- Five Epic National Parks
I really enjoyed my trip: unforgettable landscapes, excellent guide and good hotels. Highly recommend this tour.
- America's National Parks
Our tour guide Chris was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Randy our bus driver went above and beyond. We had near perfect weather, accomodations were excellent. Highly recommend this tour.
This tour unfortunately had a number of delays that seemed to take away an amount of time we could have had more experiences. Some beyond the tour directors control. We had three drivers and two tour directors. There were 22 on our coach twenty Americans and two Aussies. All got along famously and formed a solid bond. The sights we saw will live on in our memories for a very long time. Overall we give this tour 8/10.
