I would like to know how the transportation in Great American West tour is arranged. Will there be a chauffeur at all times, or would I need to drive myself? I will be travelling from The Netherlands and will be joining the tour alone. Is it possible to book for single rooms? At 56 years old I'm quite fit, but won't be able to walk more than 10 miles a day, or walk on "dangerous" paths. Would that be a problem with this tour?

The transport used on this tour is a Private vehicle, and your tour leader will accompany you. A single supplement is available From an extra €1,835 if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights on your trip and is subject to availability. In Yellowstone the cumulative walk options range from easy to moderate and 2 to 5 miles (3 to 8 km) in length. These are mostly on easy boardwalks. They are all optional and your leader will give options based on guest interest and abilities.

The first week of the tour good with several attractions to see such The Badlands, Custer state Forest, Mt Rushmore and Yellowstone NP. The canyons were amazing and wildlife is good. On he second week (The Best of Montana), the supposed historic towns were not interesting especially Helena. Only last two days in Glacier NP were good. The driver/guide was good and has local knowledge. It would have been better if the driver/guide has talked more about each destination or anything along the way.Show more
