- Exploring America's National Parks
My first longer coach tour and I wasn't sure if it was going to be for me. How wrong was I. It was a fantastic tour, continually being amazing by the beautiful of all the National Parks. Wow, Wow, Wow. The tour director was Andrew and Coach Captain was Clay both were excellent and took great care of us making sure we knew everything we needed to know to make the most of this fantastic experience.
Best California tour! We loved everything about starting from our comfortable bus, to our tour guide, tours taken, places and time of stay as well as the accommodations. Best of all, we were a terrific group of people. Highly recommend it.
