Do not travel with this company! We booked both the Rockies tour and Washington/Niagara/ New York tour many months ago. Upon confirmation we booked our flights from Australia. Five weeks before the trip , they canceled BOTH trips with no explanation , leaving us with $10k worth of flights and hotels that we no longer need and can’t cancel.
