What people love about North America Tours for Seniors
- Golden West Adventure
I picked the Golden West Adventure tour and it was simply amazing. We stayed in great hotels and hostels, the other people on board (over 40 people!) were all fun to cope with. Besides the price of the tour, you have to be prepared to spend additional ~$600 for other stuff, like visiting Alcatraz prison in San Francisco or a $250 flight in a helicopter above the Grand Canyon. Did I mention wonderful shows in Las Vegas? Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Hell yeah! If I were to decide on the best trip I ever had, it would be this one. But don't get me wrong, major factors were the people aboard the bus in which you traveled and I'm not talking now about the other travelers. I'm talking about our driver and our fabulous, amazing, lovely, charming and most important funny! - Tour Director Linda. Without her, I would drop the star count to 4, but she's a start herself, so a full 5/5 for Cosmos for having me experience a great time with them. Definitely recommend! Adam S.
What a fabulous trip! Absolutely a panorama of our great national parks of the west. Kristen was a fabulous guide! So many fun facts and lots of laughter kept us amused and alert. She interacted with each person on the tour! And knew it all by the end of our journey. it really is easier to see the Great West with someone else driving. We covered many miles between national parks every day, but the rides were not tedious. The national parks are unbelievable… Words cannot express their beauty. We took the optional one hour helicopter flight over Grand Canyon… Absolutely worth every penny! The breakfasts were all provided by the hotels; standard hotel breakfast fare. we always stopped for “potty breaks“ every hour and a half to two hours; great to get out and stretch your legs. And see the sights! Many lunches were “grab and go”, which worked well. We usually arrived at our Many lunches were “grab and go“, but that was fine. We usually arrived at our daily destination by middle afternoon, which gave us time to relax before dinner. The special events dinners were always fun! We especially enjoyed the “round up“ dinner in Monument Valley with the talk why are native American guide, Larry. Another highlight was Custer State Park and the Buffalo Roundup. Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse monument, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Devils Tower, then on to Yellowstone National Park, followed by the Grand Tetons, followed by a night in Salt Lake City and then finishing our trip with Bryce National Park and Zion National Park. Every park is unique and individual and breathtaking! Pictures cannot describe and express their beauty. The memories of this trip will last forever!
