What people love about touring North America solo
- 7 day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Tour
Just back from a fab 7 day camping tour of the big 5 national parks. The tour is well planned, taking in the amazing natural wonders. Got some good hikes in. Some up to about 3 miles, others shorter. But no pressure for anyone in the group to do more than we felt comfortable with. 9 of us on the tour from age 38+. 2 UK, 3 Australians, 4 USA, a fun crowd. We chose to camp, the other 7 chose hotel accommodation. The camping was great fun & closer to nature!! And our tour guide & driver Joe was brilliant! Informative, fun, a fabulous chef, prepping great lunches and campfire breakfasts for those of us camping. Always happy to try to fulfil any requests on route and sharing great tips to get the best out of each park visit. For anyone looking to visit national parks in the USA remember there are the new park fees/pass fees. Thank you for an unforgettable trip, definitely one we would recommend.
- Explore the Canadian Rockies in 5 Days: Banff, Jasper & Yoho National Parks Tour
I was expecting lunch at the Columbia Icefield Station, like last time I joined the tour, but ended up having lunch at the crossing and it was a 2nd rate fried chicken and meat balls. We stayed in a nice hotel in Jasper, Chateau Jasper but its far from the downtown area, where the restaurants and shopping stores are.

Fantastic trip Fantastic tour, all the national parks were stunningly beautiful! The group worked really well together and the guide was excellent.
