What people love about USA Tours for Seniors
- National Park Wonders (Start Jackson)
The 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.
- Wild West, Cowboys and Buffalos (End Denver)
I enjoyed the tour and only wish that the weather was better, but that was the chance we took.
- Grand Alaskan Adventure
Amazing way to grab a glimpse of Alaska
