This Jan I decided to take my parents on this tour as they were scared to board a bus for long hours in the beginning and it was a task for me to get them ready. While we sorted things and settled, I was more than happy for this decision. It was a smoother transition as the tour operator and the guide offered all the worldly assistance to my parents. The trip was awesome and the tour guide was amazing and wonderful. He took care as if we were his family and now parents are listing places they wished to see.

We had a wonderful trip and our tour guide was extremely helpful. The beauty was that the tour was very well planned and coordinated. The travel and food was decently taken care of. The schedule was good and we covered most of the important places. Will definitely go on another tour with them again, it is worthy. The spots we covered had good staff and everything was almost well maintained. In one place, the afternoon food quality was just below average, but as we already had a good breakfast, it did not bother us. Thanks for such a tour and lovely memories.

I really did not like the fact that admissions were not included! we had to pay extra for admissions like Salt Lake,Yellowstone,Snow king mountain Cable Car,Grand Teton, and this was also mandatory along with the daily tip which was $9 per person. In my humble opinion tips should be an optional thing. But other than that the tour was really nice.

The tour itself was really nice and we saw some amazing and beautiful things like Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, and Grand Teton National Park. But there were a couple of thing that i did not like at all, like the fact that there was no Wifi on the bus, and also the hotels were not 4 or 5 stars, although there were clean and comfortable enough.
