  The tour director Al had an excellent knowledge of all the places we visited. He was organised and helpful, even with difficult passengers, and provided us with good information. The accommodation was very good in some places and very average in others. The Crystal Inn in Salt Lake City was very enjoyable, with good facilities It was comfortable and had welcoming staff. A very nice breakfast was included. At Spokane the hotel was very run down and too far out of the city itself. Major building works are taking place and it was most unattractive location. Because of the smallish number of guests we were able to make several extra stops which was much appreciated. Beautiful scenery in Montana and we visited some interesting towns. The highlights of the trip were our visit to Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. Well worth it and did not disappoint. Our coach driver Colin was very personable, and we appreciated his careful driving and good company. He along with Al made our trip fun and interesting.Show more

  The tour was more of a bus trip than a tour. Except for the 3 National Parks and the visit to the Smoke Jumpers headquarters, it was just a bus trip where we rode past the sites of some cities before settling in for the night. For example, being dropped off at such places as Temple Square in Salt Lake City and told what time to return to the bus is not my idea of a tour. To make matters worse, the Tabernacle was closed so we just walked around without anything to visit and with no guidance. Also, It would have been nice to see the Great Salt Lake in Salt Lake City even from a distance and Mormon Row in Grand Teton National Park since we were so close to them. Also, most of the hotels did not have their own eateries and were situated so far from restaurants that we could not even walk to them. That’s not good when you’re travelling without a car. I have other suggestions and disappointing aspects of the trip I’d like to relate such as one hotel having two used washclothes in the tub, a half-eaten Orio cookie and an eye drop packet on the floor but planned to write a letter about that to the tour operator, Cosmos. I hope you read this review and respond to it. I look foreard to your response.Show more
