    Lorenzo was truly amazing a passionate man you could tell he loves his job! He told us in great detail about the history and everything we needed to make our tour interesting exciting and unforgettable! He always took care of taking us to the most beautiful places taking photos letting us taste typical dishes and making the trip fun enjoyable and enjoyable! If we were to return to see the wonders of these countries and the places we didn\'t get to visit I would really like to have him again.

    The tour was excellent. Tour guides, especially Walter and Shula were fantastic. Expect a large group >30 people, and lots of time in a coach bus. The drivers are great and the sites you see are fantastic.

    Very well run trip, Patricia was amazing and great fun to be wirh. Food choices. Sometimes limited, the Mexican restaurant in Kanab was closed on a Saturday evening. Would have been better to have longer in mount zion. Overall excellent though. Top marks to the escorts, especially Patricia, who remained calm even when some of the passengers were not present.

      Can you confirm I can be dropped at the Las Vegas Airport maximum by 22:30 on 11th May'25?

      Due to insurance purpose, we can only pick up and drop off at our designated locations. This tour is designed to arrive in Las Vegas (Luxor Hotel) at approximately 6:00p., depending on traffic, weather and local conditions - so return time is not guaranteed. Normally we suggest booking return flights on the day after the return date to avoid unnecessary stress on the final day of the tour.
