  This was a great tour -- with one spectacular location after another. The bus and accommodations were comfortable and of good quality, and the pacing and scheduling was good. Our skillful tour guide, Seth Weil, was excellent. He is very knowledgeable about geology, botany, history, and wildlife, and he was always very supportive and accommodating. Highly recommend this tour.Show more

  The itinerary was perfect for getting a sample of the canyons and parks in Colorado and Utah. Our tour guide was exceptional in providing background information about our journey. Our favorite stop was Bryce Canyon where we hiked along the rim of the amphitheater. We appreciated the opportunity to hike various trails along the way. The provided meals were very good and the motor coach was comfortable, allowing us to enjoy the scenery.Show more

  I enjoyed the tour and especially the tour guide Heather and the driver, Glenn. both were very excellent at their jobs. Heather is a wiz bang at giving narrative throughout the tour. she does her homework and gives us a great overall review of things past and present to relate to where we are. Glen is a great driver believe me I am not a great passenger, but he was smooth. On one occasion he got us out of a real mess when we were in Dead Horse. people were parked on both sides of the street getting in and were over the line. He got almost to where we should park and had to stop. Let us off and tried to back up but just couldn't make it. Heather went about trying to find the people who owned the cars . eventually, people came to move their cars and Glen was able to back out all the way. Never would I have imagined that he would have the skills to do that. Kudos to both!! They were both very professional and friendly at all times. The trip itself could have been a little boring without them. I actually have motion sickness and didn't realize we would be driving so much. The scenery helped along with Heather's facts but I will not do another tour like this and will get more specifics before I book. In Zion. We were left on our own for 3+ hours with " it is not the destination it is the journey" I like to have a destination. We did do some hiking but are not use to the altitude. We like to have a reason for our journey. After seeing all the other Canyons, this one was fine, but not a 3 hour walk / bike around. I would have preferred to even stay on the bus and be shown around like in all the other destinations. The accomodations were great at first. The last two sucked big time. the Holiday in was a 2 and the Lexor was about a 21/2. why in the world would you book us in a hotel at the end of the trip when we are scheduled to leave usually early in the morning that does not offer a coffee machine in the room and the coffee house does not open until you are scheduled to leave????? That really pissed me off!!!!! The Canyons were beautiful and getting in was easy on the bus, but there was not enough time in each of them. really too much bus time. don't know how to fix it, but to find another destination to return home. Las Vegas is NOT the answer. There has got to be an alternative. Is there really not an airport in Utah?? I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was not really impressed with the overall tour. It was majestic sure, but i expected a little more intuitiveness. Also the e-mails sent to us about the climate were dead wrong. They stated low to mid 70's during the day and 30's at night. luckily we were not out at night so I have no idea, but during the day it was very warm. I did not pack for this and had to buy some t-shirts. Luckily i had 2 days for Vegas packed and utilized these items but was a little uncomfortable for a couple of days in jeans and long sleeves. Lastly, We did not receive the packet that Collette was to provide. All the other passengers who went through Collette or AAA did. We did not get name tags (we got one's to print off) but not the plastic piece to put them in or the neck piece to put them in place.. Nor did we get the "booklet" that had everything we needed in it. Very unprofessional of Tourradar. We got an email with all the info, but really what is up with that??Show more
