I enjoyed the tour immensely. Sophie was a great tour guide and Mike was an excellent driver. I'm hoping to take another tour next summer as a result of this tour.
Grand Alaskan Adventure

Because of such a wonder tour guide it made the tour interesting and Randy had a lot of knowledge. When we had long coach rides we played games on and even watched videos. Well organised to the tour guide and bus driver John.
What our customers ask about Western USA Tours for Seniors
What is the average age range of travelers on Western USA senior tours?
Most travelers on Western USA senior tours are between 48-71 years old. Numbers from TourRadar show the Cosmos' Western Wonders tour draws guests around 64 years old while Collette's National Parks tour tends to attract people closer to 71. These tours are designed with older travelers in mind. A TourRadar guest noted "The pacing was more suited to older guests" which reflects how the experiences are tailored to senior preferences.
What type of accommodations can seniors expect on Western USA tours?
The tours use well-chosen hotels that put comfort and location first such as Lake Powell Resort and Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa. "The hotels were very nice and you can't beat the scenery" shared one TourRadar guest. Hotels typically have elevators good access to food and are picked for their closeness to main sights. Yavapai Lodge at Grand Canyon shows this approach with its easy reach to park areas and places to eat.
What is the best time of year for seniors to visit Western USA?
The sweet spots for senior travel are spring (April-May) and fall (September-October). These months bring pleasant weather and fewer tourists. Booking records show seniors prefer September and October most. As one TourRadar guest put it: "We went in September and the weather was perfect - not too hot for walking but still sunny and clear for sightseeing."
Are meals included on Western USA senior tours?
Tours typically cover breakfast daily plus some dinners while letting you choose your own lunch spots. Cosmos' Western Wonders provides 3 breakfasts and multiple dinners. Insight Vacations includes 6 breakfasts and 3 dinners with wine. According to a TourRadar guest: "The included meals were good quality and when meals weren't included our guide always recommended suitable restaurants for seniors."
What medical facilities are available along Western USA tour routes?
The tour routes stay within reach of medical care. Places like Sheraton Kona Resort and Grand Vista Hotel in Grand Junction are near hospitals. Tour guides know the local healthcare options and can help if needed. A TourRadar guest mentioned: "Our guide was well-prepared with information about medical facilities at each stop."
