What people love about North America Tours for Seniors
- Wonders of the Canadian Rockies (2026)
See everything that you want Well organized
- Essence of Eastern Canada (End Toronto)
Tour director and driver both were exceptional. I wish good luck for both. Accommodation was not comfortable because 3 of us put into one room which was suitable for 2.
- Wonders of the American West (Classic)
Appreciated the tour director and driver . Schedule was good as well as accommodations. I especially liked that we were able to attend dinner and program by native Navajos and that we got to talk with them. It would have been great to have even more time that night. Would also like to have had more time at one stop where the Navajos were set up to sell items they had made. Overall it was a great tour.
