She did everything possible to ensure that we got the most from the experience.Show moreTrip date: September 2024
- LKLisa· September 27th, 2023Highly disorganized, guide was not informed about itinerary timing to get into parks, where food would be available for purchase and on and on. We missed seeing things because of SWAT’s inability to set up this tour properly or properly train our guide, they also did not take into account the shorter days in September. Missed seeing things because it was dark. It’s an amazing tour to see all these places, just VERY poorly organized and set up, we have been on many tours with many tour companies, this by far was the worst!Show moreTrip date: September 2023

Asked on February 28th, 2025Do you provide the flight and I contract it by my account? I would need more details about the trip to decide, for that it would be better to talk with some of you.

Asked on May 30th, 2023Am I picked up at the airport to start? Do I get a window seat (can I see a seating chart)? Can I bring a medium suitcase and backpack (with CPAP machine)? Can we have snacks and water in vehicle? Is there a way (FB site) to meet fellow travelers ahead of time?
- Southwest Adventure ToursOperator•Written May 2023
You will be picked up at the airport. Some days you will get a window seat. The guide rotates guests regularly, but all seats have a full view. Med suitcase and backpack are good. You may bring snacks and water is provided. We do not have anything in place for pre meeting fellow passengers.
