What people love about Utah Tours for Seniors
- Mighty 5 From Las Vegas
If you're looking for a reason to visit the American West, Southwest Adventure Tours' Utah Mighty 5 tour is it. The scenery in each of the five parks is incredible beyond description, and the whole trip is just super well-run - from the sights to the amenities, everything was wonderful. One of the best parts of all was our guide, Simone Kuzma, who was just a wealth of fascinating information about the landscape and a ton of fun to boot. The effort she put into making the tour a success was evident at every turn. I highly recommend this trip, and you'll be extra lucky if you get Simone.
- Mighty 5 From Salt Lake City
Wonderful chance to see 5 parks with a knowledgable guide.
- Camping Utah's Mighty 5
Thank you Charlie and G Adventures. The experience of the Big 5 in Utah was everything I thought it would be. Indescribable scenery, perfect length in each day's activities and I was fortunate to travel with a great bunch of like minded tourists. To G Adventures, you need to clone Charlie. A knowledgeable and outstanding CEO.
