I experienced that may be food is not of that variety, may be good accommodation are missing or some time we do not get that much information about the destinations as well. In this trip it was not like that Page and Botanical Cactus Gardens. We were given all the best possible services in an incredible way. From food options to accommodations all was just perfect. Joining this bus tour would always be a fun time with luxurious feeling for sure. A lot of thanks with all my heart!
