Can we book the Best of the West tour, we are respectively 52 and 57 years old and have 25 years of experience in camping (tent)?

This tour is a part of our 18-30somethings travel style, which is only available for travellers between the ages of 18 - 39 to book onto. Our other travel styles, such as Classic, Active, National Geographic Journeys, etc., do not have any age restrictions.

Can you tell me about this trip? Best of the West Road Trip: California, Utah & Vegas Bright Lights. Do you place solo travelers with a roommate? Where do you stay (hotels, camping)? Do you fly into LA? What is the average age of the travelers and how many are on the trip? Do you hike or is it just visiting parks? Do you offer dietary restrictions accommodations?

Another note - this trip has a specific age requirement set by Hostelworld & G Adventures for travellers to be between the ages of 18-35 to participate. Accommodation will be varied throughout your adventure. We use a combination of hotels and hostels, but most of the nights on tour are spent camping in tents in public and private campgrounds. Multi-share accommodation, on a single-sex basis (typically 4-6 people per room), is common in the U.S. All camping equipment (with the exception of your sleeping bag and pillow) is supplied, including comfortable camp mattresses. The trip starts and ends in LA so this easy for booking roundtrip flights out of LAX. There will be tons of hiking opportunities on this trip and at least one chance in every National Park we visit on the tour. For dietary restrictions, we can accommodate all but strict Halal.

what age group is this - as the only one I see on the g adventures website is for 18-39yr olds??

We have different styles of tours and some of these styles are for particular age groups. The Best of the West Road Trip: California, Utah & Vegas Bright Lights tour is one of our 'Roamies" tours this tour is for travellers between the ages of 18 to 35. If you would like a similar tour that is available for all ages. We suggest looking at our 'Classic' or 'Active' styles of tours.

The tour seemed well structured regarding the places visited. Our guide was engaging and informative. The transportation van was cramped and uncomfortable, with insufficient leg room and no storage space for day-packs. The internal PA system was not good enough. With the guide also being the driver there is the tendency for reduced along-the-way comentary. We enjoyed the 13 passenger limit. Our accommodation was all good and comfortable. This style of tour would not suit everyone if they required larger seats and comforts, were of limited mobility and reduced initiative.Show more
