What people love about Rocky Mountains Tours for Seniors
This was my very first Insight Vacations journey, and I was impressed from the start. The beauty of the iconic American Canyonlands is breathtaking, and this dream journey visits The Grand Canyon, Monument National Park, Bryce Canyon and Zion. We stayed at lodges right in the National Parks. I was one of several who travelled solo on this trip, and we did not feel at all out of place. Roger, our Travel Director, was terrific. Roger got to know everyone on the journey, and made sure all of us were having the very best vacation. The families that were also on the trip looked like they had the time of their lives. Great fun for everyone!
Enchanting Canyonlands (Classic)
- Exploring America's National Parks
Many places covered well... And the tour director had good knowledge of the places we visited
- 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.
