What people love about USA Tours in September
- Yellowstone & Rocky Mountain Explorer
Joe is fun and passionate
- Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell Small Groups Overnight Tour
Our 2-day canyon tour from Las Vegas was unforgettable, thanks to our guides, Branch and Charlie. From the moment we met them, they made us feel comfortable and provided us with the perfect amount of fascinating information about each location. Their lively personalities made the trip enjoyable and fun! The first day we started by visiting Hubert. Soon after, we explored a cool Route 66 town and then hiked to the breathtaking Grand Canyon. After driving through the Navajo Nation and its unique landscapes, our evening ended with a fun group dinner. Our hotel was fantastic, it has a pool, so don't forget your swimsuit! The next day, we explored the amazing Antelope Canyon (not to be missed) and looked at the views of Horseshoe Bend. The entire trip was entertaining, educational and very enjoyable, all thanks to Branch and Charlie. I highly recommend this adventure and I will definitely plan a next one!
LAS VEGAS-ZION-BRYCE-ARCHES-CANYONLANDS- MONUMENT VALLEY-THE GRAND CANYON-LAS VEGAS. Highly recommend this tour, with Justin. The BEST experience and week of my life. Every park had its own unique views and feeling. I've travelled the world but this tour, and specifically our guide & driver Justin Ebert, allowed us to fully see in-depth wonder 24 hours of each day and park. Justin was not only knowledgeable, friendly, and a master of accommodating a variety of personalities and requests, but also went well beyond the tour's description and itinerary. He genuinely was concerned with every aspect and person's needs, and 13 tourists quickly came together as a travelling unit. The long stretches of road fly by with gorgeous scenery the whole way, in the comfortable van. The optional Canyoneering tour in Moab was fantastic, led by a local operator. Tips for future travellers: bring a portable device charger because phones & cameras will run low every day and there rarely are outlets to charge. Bring car charger with multiple ports for more than one device. Definitely appreciate the times you are completely disconnected from the 'real' world. You'll catch up on news, *and* sleep after this active vacation.
