    This tour was incredible! Mathieu was an excellent guide and provided robust information and took us to incredible locations and view points. The group meals were delicious and well budgeted, with even a return of some funds. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone.

    I wanted to do a shorter tour six days and end up in St. John’s so this was perfect for me. Our guide Simon was excellent, very considerate and keen to show us new things. I thought the tour was a lovely balance of activity and some space. I saw all the important things I had come to Newfoundland for including the beautiful. Gros Morne national Park, some amazing icebergs and puffins.

    The first week of the tour good with several attractions to see such The Badlands, Custer state Forest, Mt Rushmore and Yellowstone NP. The canyons were amazing and wildlife is good. On he second week (The Best of Montana), the supposed historic towns were not interesting especially Helena. Only last two days in Glacier NP were good. The driver/guide was good and has local knowledge. It would have been better if the driver/guide has talked more about each destination or anything along the way.
