What people love about Rocky Mountains Tours for Seniors
- Highlights of the Canyonlands
Well despite the worst heat in 100 years, and much of the Navajo Nation still shut down leading to cancelations there, it was fun. Most of the credit goes to Darryl Jenkins, our Cosmos Tour Director. He worked hard to make sure everyone was happy and entertained. A natural at his job.
At the end of September I took the tour "Enchanting canyonlands" from Scottsdale, Arizona with Insight Vacations. The accomodation was always seminal and as a single, because I opted to share, I had my own room. The friendly guide was full of information, rotated bus seats and organised little extras for us. Tour Radar was an exemplary agent and I have recommended them to friends.

Many places covered well... And the tour director had good knowledge of the places we visited
