What people love about Mighty 5 Tours for Seniors
- Mighty 5 From Las Vegas
We can’t say enough about how great a time we had on the Mighty 5 tour, due in large part to our AMAZING guide, Simone. Her knowledge and fun spirit added so much more information that we could have hoped for. Loved our time in the van with the great group almost as much as the incredible scenery and hikes. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour, better group or a better guide. Thanks again Simone for such an unforgettable time.
- Mighty 5 From Salt Lake City
Excellent tour guide who tailored the flexible itinerary to meet everyone’s needs,
the best way to explore the vastness and glory of the Utah desert is by camping and hiking in small groups. I enjoyed this trip immensely, it was challenging enough but not too much. Our guide was a brave and resourceful powerful woman. I am planning my next trip with you already!
