What is the difference in the tours starting on Tuesday and the ones starting on Thursday. There is a price difference.

The tour is the same no matter the day the tour starts. Some of the departure dates may qualify for a promotion and some do not.

I am interested in this trip. I am a single traveller. Could you please send me available dates and the approximate cost.

Based on the 11th of July departure you would be looking at a cost of £7,332. This tour is on request for solo travelers so space would need to be requested before booking.

Is all entry to parks included in the costs of the tour? Will they be sleeping in a hotel every night? DO you offer twin room for a solo traveller to share with another solo traveller on tour and if not what will the cost be for a single supplement? The breakfast that is included what kind of breakfast will this be?

All park entries are included in the cost for the tour. You will travel from location to location during the day, that way you will be able to relax in the hotels we will book for you at night. Being that you will be traveling alone, you will have your own room. We are no longer allowed to have singles share a room. The single supplement will be an additional $2125. We usually have a continental breakfast (or what the hotel offers) for the days breakfast is included.

is there an option for a solo traveller?

So how do I book on as a solo traveller? Is it the same cost $8.2K.?

Under the transportation for the Exploring America's Great Parks it states: Train: The historic Alaska Railroad travels through Alaska's spectacular scenery. Upgraded experience in Deluxe Dome Service features confirmed seats in the upper-level dome car, priority seating in the dining room, and a private outdoor viewing deck.

Regarding the Globus tour Exploring America's Great Parks, this tour does not feature the Alaska Railroad. Please let us know if the website shows conflicting information.

Is it possible to link exploring Americas Great Parks Tour with Americas Musical Heritage Tour

Yes, we could link them and do back to back tours for you. We could arrange your flights from the UK, between the tours and back to the UK. I found dates in September that would work to do one tour after the other. You could do America's Musical Heritage on the 01st to the 10th and add a post night so it finishes on the 11th. We would then fly you across for the start of Exploring America's National Parks on the 11th which would end on the 25th before flying you home.

Can the last two days of the tour in Las Vegas be replaced by extra day stay in one or two of Utah's Nat.Park mentioned in the Tour?

Unfortunately as this is a group touring product we are unable to amend the itinerary for only 2 people. As you are not interested in the extra nights in Las Vegas, I have amended the trip to the base tour only and updated prices for you.

This tour was amazing, even better than anticipated. The coach was brand new and very comfortable. Mike, our driver was EXCELLENT. I have a fear of heights (yeah, I know, great tour to book in the mountains) but his skill let me relax and even look out the windows. Our guide Shawn was a wealth of great information, and made the extra effort to show us things that others may have missed. The accommodations were first class every night, but varied between the rustic Old Faithful Yellowstone Inn to the urban high rises. All breakfasts were included which was nice. All luggage was taken care of by staff on site. We could not have done this tour independently with the accommodations, meals, passes, and experience for the amount spent. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour as the most bang-for-your-buck tour of the National Parks.Show more

First time on a GlobusGo tour and it far exceeded my expectations. The knowledge shared by Steve our tour director was phenomenal. He always made sure we experienced as much as possible on every stop and stay and highlighted what he hoped we would enjoy. He was kind, caring and always had our interest in mind no matter what we did. Steve our bus driver also exceeded above and beyond showing he cared about us and always got us promptly where we needed to be. They both had dynamic personalities and had a nice rapport with each other.Show more
