 Sue Ellen Maria· September 20th, 2019Although the trip was good, we were 52 people without name tags. When I tried to leave this comment with Trafalgar, they claimed this was to help the environment. Surely a company of that size could be less patronizing and find a way to allow passengers and to tour directors to remember each other's names without impacting the environment! Also, the Rushmore Hotel was not acceptable. The location was not in the heart of Rapid City. The décor was a factory motif, complete with exposed pipes. There were only two elevators for four bus loads of travelers and one was out of order. The breakfast pancake was so hard I could not cut it with a knife. Also the airport in Rapid City is very small with seven gates and few carriers. This makes traveling difficult! In conclusion, I would recommend Tourradar, but not Trafalgar!Show more Sue Ellen Maria· September 20th, 2019Although the trip was good, we were 52 people without name tags.

 Sue Ellen Maria· September 17th, 2019-We did not have name tags so it was difficult to get to know the 52 people on our trip. - we saw many sights but never seemed to have enough time to really see them. - Deadwood and the local guide were a waste of time. Please eliminate that! - the Rushmore Hotel is less than poor!! The location was terrible. The sheets were scratchy. It has two elevators and only one worked, the decor resembled a factory and the food was terrible. We were given rubbery chicken for our last dinner and the breakfast pancakes were so hard, they could not be cut with a knife! Please do not book this hotel again! - Getting flights out of Rapid City are difficult. Please find a larger airport with more frequent flights.Show more Sue Ellen Maria· September 17th, 2019-We did not have name tags so it was difficult to get to know the 52 people on our trip. - we saw many sights but never seemed to have enough time to really see them. - Deadwood and the local guide were a waste of time.

 John· October 4th, 2018The National Parks Wonders trip was our first with Trafalgar and it was MUCH better that we ever expected. Our tour guide Tyson was absolutely fantastic. He made sure everything went perfectly. He even gave my wife a card on her birthday. His extensive knowledge of places and things along the trip made it so much more interesting. And Ken our bus driver was amazing. Everyone on our trip was very friendly and fun to chat with. Trafalgar had everything organized well. We appreciated all the breakfasts and dinners.Show moreTrip date: September 2018 John· October 4th, 2018The National Parks Wonders trip was our first with Trafalgar and it was MUCH better that we ever expected.
