What people love about USA Tours for Seniors
Tom Williams was super knowledgeable about the area we traveled through in the western US national parks. Best tour director I have ever traveled with. He made the trip fun and informative!
National Park Wonders (Start Jackson)
- Five Epic National Parks
Lucked into the right time for this trip avoiding high season, where time that would have been wasted waiting to enter / park / view a site was able to be used to attend other scenes. Loved EVERYTHING. But cherished rafting the snake river around Jackson Hole at the beginning of the tour. And the helicopter ride at / around / through the Grand Canyon at the end. A real life participant in your own memory / movie trumps a single photo for me.
- Rhythms of the South (11 Days)
Good trip! Great venue! Lots to do. Well looked after. Disappointed in Nashville quality inn. Staff not helpful and hotel very tired and could be cleaned better
