What people love about Rocky Mountains Tours for Seniors
- Five Epic National Parks
Definitely could not have seen all that we saw without the tour. Trafalgar took us to all the great places. The accommodations were nice. The tour director, wellness director, and driver were all fantastic. Worth every penny! I can't wait for my next tour.
- Highlights of the Canyonlands
This trip exceeded our expectations. Of course the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley were memorable but Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon were exceptional, we've talked about going back one day to do some hiking in the area. Las Vegas is of course over the top but it's good fun, we would recommend a couple of extra days there. Our guide and driver, Kristin and Randy, were both very good - we would definitely recommend this tour.
- Wonders of the American West (Classic)
The trip was extremely well organized with Roger our guide, not misding a beat.
