    Thank you for taking the time to review the Wild West Cowboys and Buffalos guided holiday. We regret to learn about any disappointment that may have been caused by the varied age difference of the group and how this affected the group dynamic on this occasion. At Trafalgar, we invite everyone from five years of age to participate in our trips, as long as children under the age of eighteen are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. For this reason, it is not possible to predict the average age of the participants that will be joining us on specific departures; yet, we strive to provide a safe, enjoyable and memorable travel experience for all of our passengers. Therefore, we have raised your concerns with our Operations Team for their care and consideration. To continue, we sincerely regret to read about any discomfort you seem to have experienced whilst on-board the coach. To ensure our guests' well-being, we make certain to break up longer periods of travel with regular refreshment stops along the way. Nonetheless, we appreciate that you were not entirely satisfied with this aspect of your guided holiday. As such, we have shared your feedback with our Transportation Department for their review and to establish what improvements might be made going forward. With the above said, we hope that you have taken away some lasting memories from your time away with us.

    Janet

    Asked on December 25th, 2023

    Do you have smaller groups? I'm looking for a tour with fewer people, mostly a Seniors group (50yrs. +) and young adults. Love this old west themed itinerary. Don't know how accommodations work but I'd want a single hotel room.

      We only offer this tour in a classic group, we don't have a small group option. Group size is average 40 guests, maximum 52 guests. If you are travelling with more than 10 companions, we can arrange a custom tour for you.
