You’re a leisurely traveller. You like to discover the energy of a new place, but typically take it easy. You can handle at least one flight of stairs, board a coach, and walk for 15-30 minutes at a time with little difficulty.
You like a balanced approach to travel. You feel confident walking at least 30-45 minutes at a time over a variety of terrains – from cobblestones streets to easy straightaways to a couple hills or flights of stairs. You’re comfortable walking a few city blocks at a time, but need some time to unwind and relax.
You’re an on-the-go traveller. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (1-2 hours) isn’t a big deal. You can navigate hills and uneven ground, climb into various modes of transport (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.), and could possibly anticipate changes in elevation. You can expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure.
You’re ready to seize the day, whatever it may bring. You lead an active life at home (walking, biking, and hiking are things you may enjoy) and few thousand steps a day isn’t out of the norm. You can handle longer walking tours (more than 90 minutes), traversing dusty or uneven terrain, standing for periods of time, varying altitudes and temperatures, and don’t mind being on the go with some early starts, late-night experiences, and full days. Unfortunately, this level is not appropriate for individuals who use wheelchairs or walkers.

The sights were beautiful, but my favorite sight, Bryce Canyon, we were only given about 30 minutes to view this magnificent canyon. This was very disappointing. The balance of timing per event needs to be recalibrated. The seating in the bus was uncomfortable. My husband and I are not big people and we both felt crowded (no knee room and narrow seats). These are the main reasons I gave it a four.

The tour needed a more structured rotation for getting on and off the bus, which became very difficult for people in the back of the bus. Improvements in the bus like cup holders and tray tables plus more legroom in some of the seats were needed for such a long tour. Written slips with the AM timing and destination for the next day should have been used. Bus driver was excellent!

Six of us got covid. This could have been avoided if everyone wore masks but out of 55 people, only four wore masks. Also, it would be great if the water bottles were recycled. If that can't happen, then we do not need water bottles. Everyone was told to bring their own reusable one anyway. Please inforce your own suggestions. Thank you!!

The service was good, our guide was great. There was just not enough room between the seats on the bus for as long as the trip was. We expected a little bit more room to be able to move around comfortably. We felt like since we were on the bus so many days, and so long that the bus would’ve been a bit more spacious. Since it was a tour bus we just expected it not to be crammed packed with seats allowing more legroom.

We enjoyed all the parks, my favorite part was the scenic route down the snake River on the raft. Our little guard was very informative and a delight as he gave us the details.

We do appreciate the fact that Ann our guide was able to find us alternative parts to go to.

I thought the tour was well put together and we saw all planned tour sites plus some . But the one and only Major fault in the tour was the tour bus itself. This bus may be acceptable for a day or overnight tour but NOT for a 10 day tour. It was very tight seating, air control was far less than acceptable. It lacked working electrical outlets by all seating. In general extremely disappointing traveling mode. But must say all lodging and food planned establishments were very good to excellent accommodations.

Tour
All parks visited were memorable experiences. Tne natural beauty of our parks were more spectacular than any pictures seen. Each park and monument had its own spectacular sites(ie. grand canyon, Zion, Crazy Horse, Mt Rushmore) It was a great way to see the many beautiful wonders here in the USA.

Our Guide was very knowledgeable. Our driver was courteous, and kept our coach extremely clean. The only complaint I have was the return flights were not a convenient time. We booked our vacation a year in advance and we should have had better flight schedules.

We had an opportunity to see many of the National Parks. I didn’t realize that we would travel over 2,000 miles on the bus. Out tour guide tried to make us as comfortable as possible with rest stops. If we were younger we would consider going back to some of the Parks but we are in no shape to hike. Also learned much about Native American history.

My husband and I experienced out 1st Collette tour to the national parks this past October. From the first contact via email to Collette to begin planning our trip to the last day of our trip they and their representatives, travel agent, tour manager, bus driver, all professional , attentive, and friendly. They all treated us like we were their only customer.
-
Tour
This tour covers a lot of ground 2081 miles to be exact! when you hear 5 national parks in 12 days - Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, 5 states, how could you pick out a favorite? We had not been to this part of our beautiful county and at every turn, each day we thought how could this get ant better - but it did. Going in October was a risk (Yellowstone was closed couple of days before we got there because of snow) but this time of year was beautiful, Arizona a beautiful 80 degrees, golden Aspens, snow on the mountains, snap in the air with blue skies, magnificent sun sets (Grand Canon North Rim) and the stars in the evenings. We saw so much wild life, seemed every morning we started off seeing something unusual, Condors, eagle, bison, elk, moose just to name a couple.

The overall trip was great.only two negative comments. The changing seat policy of everybody moving three seats always is disrupted by someone who says they have motion sickness and needs to constantly sit in front. The farewell dinner which should have been the best was by far the worst dinner we had with a glass of cheap wine. This alone my make me question future tours

Great driver, coach and stops. Yellowstone was our favourite.
-

-
Service
The trip was very good but some of the places - Lake Powell, Yellowstone - didn’t have enough places for us to eat dinner. We had a long wait period at both places. We understand we weren’t the only guests but with a bus load of people dinner reservations should have been made. The dinner in Rapid City (our last night) was not very good. Our other meals were very good or excellent. Overall we did enjoy our trip and definitely will travel with Collette again and will also recommend you to our friends and family.

We enjoyed Salt Lake City the best. The dinner show at Jackson Hole was also one of our favorites. Loved seeing the animals in the parks. Scenery was breathtaking.

All of the trips into Zion, Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Little Big Horn Monument, Mt. Rushmore, and Crazy Horse were exactly what we wanted.

All the motels and restaurants were great, and all the scenic stops were perfectly beautiful. Bus was comfortable; plane trips as good as plane trips get nowadays. Tour director and bus driver were informative and personable; doing their job extremely well. Can't think of a thing that would have added to my enjoyment.

One of the highlights (in addition to all the beautiful mountains and all the other wonderful scenery) was Sault Lake City where we ate in a wonderful building, AND an unexpected highlight was getting to see/hear the Mormon Choir practice in the evening, and the organ recital/practice the next day.

Tour
When friends and family ask me how the trip was, I said a "fifteen". Overall, the bus driver was outstanding and the occasional tour person who told us about specific sites, such as "Crazy Horse" was terrific. I didn't like the fact that they passed a hat around the bus to tip the person. It should have been included with the price we paid for the tour.

Collette provided an excellent guide and driver, however there was noone to get us upon arrival 10/10.in Arizona. Could have eliminated 2 days in Salt Lake. It made trip too long.

Wonderful National Parks adventure
-

Our National Parks trip overall was wonderful starting with our guide Brian meeting us at the airport and giving us an overview of what to expect. Our tour bus was comfortable and clean, and our driver Dennis was a professional getting us to places we didn’t think the bus could fit. All our accommodations were top notch and comfortable. The sights of seeing the grandeur and beauty of our Country’s National Parks with a great group of travelers enhanced my expectations.

We had a great time. The tour manager, local guides, and drivers we had were excellent. Most memorable for us was the Little Grand Canyon in Yellowstone. The local guide told us to not take a peek at it until we were at the top platform. It was great advice and we loved the view seeing it all at once.

Organisation both from the London office and on the tour was excellent. The only thing that would have improved it would have been to have had an e-mail contact in London for those queries that weren't really urgent enough to warrant a phone call. It was also slightly frustrating that the London phone number given on the correspondence went out of use but the new number wasn't automatically given when we dialled the original. We had to find it from the website.

Grand Canyon in the early morning hours watching the sunrise over the canyon was spectacular! Wouldn't have been possible had we not stayed in the rustic log cabins. Would have preferred an additional day at the Grand Cayons to perhaps take an optional mule ride or just sit and stare out into it's beauty and one day less in Salt Lake City.

Great trip; accommodations need review regarding bathroom toilet height
-
Service
A world class organization. Have had great luck with guides and drivers on many trips. On National Parks trip, hotel bathroom accommodations should have been better. Our travelling group seemed to be all senior citizens, though not advertised that way. Regardless, a majority of us, short and tall, thought the hotel toilet bowls were too low for comfortable and safe usage. Sorry to be so graphic. Collette needs to review their hotel selections and their bathroom accommodations. Some of their hotel choices are quite outdated.

Tour guide could have given more information at National Parks on different tails and views. Collette customer service was very helpful when called. We had booked the trip in 2017 and had to cancel. That trip ended in Rapid City. This would have been much better. I felt that a day was wasted driving to Denver for such a short time in Rocky Mountain Park.

Favorite experience was Zion as it was one of the few places I hadn't been to. Also the north rim of the Grand Canyon. would suggest less time in Salt Lake City and more time in Yellowstone however

On a positive note, our bus driver was the BEST. Regarding phone calls that were made to Collette prior to the trip, the service could have been better. I waited a number of days before I received confirmation that my flight had been changed as I requested. I that our tour guide could have been more willing to help people with answers to questions and perhaps offer to do some research if she didn't know the answer. She seemed more interested in a "smooth" travel experience but sometimes, there are bumps along the way.
-
Tour
My reason for 2 stars is one reason only - COST. The cost of the tour was over $7,000. I understand I needed to pay the single fare but $1,500 for that was ridiculous and if I had stayed in a room with someone, that meant the cost would have been over $5,500. That is EXTREME, especially when I just found out about a trip with Trafalgar going to basically the exact same places and the cost for that trip for double occupancy is under $2,800 per person (this trip is being offered in 2019 right through the community travel agent where I live). On a positive note, I LOVED the trip itself. I loved seeing all the National Parks as well as other side trips. It was one of the best trips of my life but I am sure I could have had this same feeling with another tour company at a much lower cost.

Spectacular Canyons, Amazing Sites, Excellent, Fun Nat'l Park's Tour
-
Service
Our amazing Nat'l Parks tour was our 3rd Collette tour, and as expected we had an excellent tour mgr and guide. Haydee's super organizing skills and enthusiasm got us up about 5am each morning to be ready for another day of touring. Her frequent reminders to hydrate often was spot-on for the 1st part of the tour in VERY dry summer heat especially in AZ & UT, and in the higher altitudes and dry air as we traveled through astounding canyons, the Grand Tetons, Wyoming, Black Hills and SD. Even in some remote areas, we had necessary relief stops to break up a few longer drives, and the planned tour stops were wonderful. We could not stay on the bus at most stops, but we were never forced to do more than we each could handle at stops, where we could easily view scenes or take a certain amount of time for a short hike. Our coach driver, Darrel, was professional, courteous & helpful...an excellent driver on some challenging roads that wound around & up and down in changing terrain. Our hotels were always comfortable, even though about 3 were rustic due to tour location. Even with no A/C at Grand Canyon, the cabins ON the wooded, more quiet North Rim met our needs and offered views & walking trails not everybody sees. We enjoyed extending a day at the Alex Johnson Hotel in Rapid City SD, where we took in the July 4th fireworks on the horizon and city, all visible from the hotel rooftop restaurant & patio. A wonderful trip!
-
Tour
Spectacular Zion and Bryce Canyons, Grand Canyon, Grand Tetons, Black Hills, vistas as we drove. The 2 canyons, Zion and Bryce were probably the most surprising treat we experienced, though it was extremely hot and dry, those canyons were amazing.

Fantastic tour - would highly recommend

Service
The bus trip was our first and we were delighted with it. Everything was very well organized and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. She moved people around the bus in assigned seats so that we met everyone on our tour and also had an opportunity to view the scenery from various vantage points - great idea. The bus driver did a super job even on very difficult roads. There was a nice balance of driving and stops. We covered a lot of territory to see the national parks and it was spaced out very well. The hotels were uniformly good and the speed and efficiency of getting us to the rooms and getting our baggage to us was incredible. We would never have been able to see so many national parks without being on this kind of tour. One suggestion - give everyone a refillable water bottle instead of having everyone purchase water bottles each day. This would have saved over 400 plastic water bottles from the trash and there were easy places to refill them everywhere.

We loved the tour, except why spend two nights in Salt Lake City? It is not a National Park. Most of the people on the bus felt the same way. We would have enjoyed more time at a beautiful park rather than a city, no matter how nice it is.We expected a more luxurious bus with more room between the seats considering the amt of time we spent and the money.

The most amazing natural views of America - sitting on a deck and watching the sunset in the Grand Canyon, the beauty of Sedona, Bryce, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons. A lot of riding on the bus but it is worth it to see all the beauty there is to see and watching the landscape pass from your seat on the bus. Bison, osprey, elk, mountain goats, eagles, cattle, horses, so much to see. If you are lucky you get Ted as a bus driver, the best, and Nicki was fabulous!

from the moment we were picked up at our front door, I felt like someone was taking care of every aspect of our trip. We no sooner got our luggage off the carousel at the airport & the next person was taking us to our hotel.

Every hotel was exactly what we would have expect as far as clean, modern, and excellent accommodations.

I feel like we saw everything that would have interested us on this tour and no stops that didn't. Which is way we choose Collette. I did feel a few times rush and would have liked just a little more time, especially when we had to fit sightseeing & lunch in our time slot. But I also understand that was the only way to see everything that we covered on this particular tour.

This is the first tour my husband and I have taken. I called Collette after seeing an add on the AARP website. They were wonderful and put me ar ease immediately.

Alice Kirby, the tour manager was wonderful She was extremely knowledgeable and organized everyone Had the best time.

It is really hard to pick out any one experience. We went to see national parks, and we certainly did that, starting with the Grand Canyon which I thought would be my favorite. Then we got to each of the others and, of course, I thought they were a favorite. In other words, they were all my favorites, each was so different. But the most amazing part of this trip was the scenery and the other people on this trip. Alice was wonderful in giving out the history of each area. I could go on and on, but this was the most wonderful, fun and memorable experience of a lifetime.

We took our first trip with Collette in October to the National Parks. This was an amazing trip. Collette made all the arrangements for airlines, including car service to take us to the airport and home upon our return. Collette provided us with all the necessary documents and itinerary for the entire trip. Our tour guide ***** ********* was professional, extremely knowledgeable about the areas we traveled, and personable to all the members of our tour group.

I was impressed by the immense open spaces in our Country - from the plains areas to the majestic mountains of all the Parks. Salt Lake City is beautiful - Jackson Hole Wyoming (with snow!) was fun. Mount Rushmore and the in-process Crazy Horse memorial is amazing. We viewed cowboys herding cattle and enormous buffalo.

except for our experience at the north rim of the grand canyon, i enjoyed all of the other highlights , especially Bryce canyon and yellowstone park. while many found the pace too quick with too much bus time, i liked the fact that we got to see so much in the short time we had. it wasnt always comfortable but worth it to see so much. however, i may be in the minority

Not What I Expected
-
Service
The transfers from hotel to hotel went smoothly. Our guide set up our seats on the bus in a creative and respectful way, allowing us to make many new friends. The friendships were the highlight of the trip...we laughed together at the many foibles of scheduling (including having to use the drop toilet --one at a time--because the park office was closed at Jackson Hole). It was VERY disappointing to arrive at the North Rim Grand Canyon Lodge in the dark (just after sunset). We had to find our rooms in the dark, then had nothing to do until sunrise. We had only a few hours of daylight to actually see the Canyon. This was to be one of the highlights of our trip, but ended up being a huge disappointment. It seems like this scheduling continued to be disappointing throughout. In Jackson Hole, we had the most time, but there were no activities open at the lodge. Why weren't we told that the dates of this trip were at the end of the season and many activities were no longer available (including getting our park passports stamped because the park offices were closed)?
-
Tour
Scheduling gave us the most time in the hotels (sleeping) or on the bus getting to our next venue. Many of the activities at each park were shut down at this time of year. The most memorable part of the trip was the Crazy Horse Memorial because of the history and dedication of the Korczak family.

Having the airfare taken care of by Collette was a plus for me as well as the limo service to and from the airport. My travel agent handled scheduling the trip and told me she is impressed with Collette's responsiveness.

Kim is a Jewel!!!

It's difficult to narrow down "a" memorable time. If the views were not spectacular the information was. We are so lucky to live in this great land and be free to move about and enjoy it. Maybe interacting with the Asians, who were thrilled to have their pictures taken with Americans; or having a very handsome Frenchman read me an ice cream menu at Mt. Rushmore.

Good, reliable coach and driver. This was especially important when our weather ranged from 107 to snow and heavy fog in the mountains. Good travel manager. *Personal information removed by Feefo* taught us lots and used multiple methods - speaking, visuals, DVD player. Good alternate accommodations for the lodges advertised. Still disappointed that with a National Parks Tour, more so than with other tour, we were expecting a heavier 'lodge' experience. Good opportunity to experience lodging IN the National Parks at two locations. Could have stayed in the little cabin at Grand Canyon for a week. Especially good food at Lake Powell and Grand Canyon. Good highlights of some beautiful country. Yes, we have already recommended Collette to many friends and family.

I loved the north rim of the Grand Canyon experience. The little log cabins were special. I wouldn't want to stay there for 12 days, but that experience enhanced the trip with its rustic appeal and the marauding squirrels that tried to get in. Dining room is wonderful and you can't beat the views.

I would have given a better rating if time had been managed more efficiently. There was limited time at Yellowstone but we had 2 days in Salt Lake City.. this was suppose to be a National Parks trip. We barely had our feet on the ground at Yellowstone. Most of the time was touring on the bus- very disappointing. Also, we were given a prolonged lunch stop before Jackson Hole and then got into town to find we had only a short time to look around before we boarded the bus for the ride to the hotel. Why didn't we get to town earlier and reduce the prolonged lunch break?

I loved our tour guide Denise and the driver. The other tour people were very nice. The actual trip was pleasant but I felt there was much to much time on the bus. The breaks were rushed only 15 or 20 min then back on the bus for another 2 or 3 hours then an hour for lunch and shopping. The distance covered was too far. My daughter was in a wheelchair. Every part of the tour was accessible but time was an issue for me. Bags having to be out at 6:30 a.m. Then on the bus by 7:35 then Only getting to the hotel and having 30 min to get to dinner, toooo rushed for me. I needed a vacation after this vacation. I was very disappointed in the Grand Canyon and the lodging there. I had issues with the Raddison in Salt Lake City also. I did have a special situation with my daughter but I did hear time on bus and being rushed issues from others.

The itinerary was the closest available in the UK to our objectives, although ideally we would have liked more 2 night stays and the opportunity for a sightseeing flight at the Grand Canyon.

This incompetence may stop us travelling with Collette again.

Hiking to Bright Angel Point and finding out height affects me. In spite of this made it out and got to enjoy a very special view. The Grand Canyon was Majestic. Zion and Bruce were just beautiful. We hiked some of Zion as well as Bruce. Bottom line it is difficult to pick one or the other. Then the fun and a good meal on the Cowboy wagon train dinner. Although quite cool the simple food was hot, tasty and plenty. Angel Point was thrilling because of my phobia, but the whole trip was memorable.

The hotel in Salt Lake City gave us a miserable one star hotel experience when we complained the A/C was not working in our room. We went from a plush four star room to one with furniture that had drawers that would not shut, wrinkled, nasty rugs, doors with wood peeling and cracking at the bottom and a "plastic" type sink top. It did have running water and A/C. That's the best I can say about it. Otherwise, accommodations were good, if not downright rustic.

The tour was good except for the seat room on the bus. The seats were too narrow and there was a lack of leg room.
-
Tour
The seats on the bus were too small. By the end of the tour everyone was complaining about the cramped space. Had we been aware of the seat room we would not have booked the tour. I do not expect we will do another bus tour.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, but would have liked more time at the Grand Canyon and less in Salt Lake City. Denise was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable on the places visited, and provided helpful hints on how to deal with various sundry items that we encountered.

Zion and Bryce Canyons were exceptional, as was the time in Jackson, Snake River float was a lot of fun.

I think they did an excellent job of keeping you informed of things along the way.

Tour
The reason I put good instead of excellent for motels is due to the fact that we were always overlooking the parking lot. I would have thought we could see more in the parks from our rooms. I was disappointed by that. I also would have liked 1more day in Yellowstone to go up to the north loop. Denise Henley was the best tour guide I have ever had. I would love to know what other tours she would be on.

It was a good tour and got to see all the parks which were beautiful. Some accommodations were not the best. Would have preferred more meals off a menu then buffets for dinner. Thought Byrce National Park was the best along with Mount Rushmore.

This national parks tour was excellent. We have never done a bus tour like this, but we are already planning another one. It was well organized by our awesome team of Derek Moscarelli and Lance Richardson. They took us from park to park efficiently, well versed, very knowledgable, and it was a wonderful two weeks. We have never taken a vacation where my husband and I were so relaxed because we knew every detail was taken of. The awesome beauty of the national parks was breathtaking. Thank you Collette, Derek, and Lance for a great vacation.

Our tour leader, Brian, and bus driver, George, were best I've had in taking about a half dozen tours. They were both so knowledgeable, considerate, and helpful. My only recommended change would be to allow for more non-included meals, as many of the restaurants were not particularly appealing in their food offerings.

Along with the professional bus driver. I am looking forward to booking another trip with them, doing the Colorado Rockies!

Tour
The best way to see the National Parks is a guided tour with Collette. Staying inside the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone Parks, seeing Bryce Canyon and Zion was breath taking. Had a great time at the Bar J Ranch for our chuck wagon cookout and show after we ate dinner. We were able to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra perform. Also found a great Italian restaurant in Salt Lake City called Valter's Osteria. Pictures alone can't describe the scenery you see along the way, you have to see it for yourself..

This was an Excellent trip/vacation. Our tour guide were VERY knowledgable and provided us with the best experience possible. They are GREAT representatives of the Collette brand name. We've highly recommended this trip to all of our neighbors that prefer guided trips. Looking forward to our next trip - planning the Civil War Area.

Tour
As stated above, this trip provided us with sights we had only seen on TV - Bryce Canyon was the best for us. Some moments were even better than postcard views. The narratives by Karen & Roger made it even better-they love their jobs and it shows in the tours and care provided to all of us. BTW: we had a remarkable group on our bus that all got along extremely well. The 1st day of 2 of them being late-marked the trip and DID not occur again as the other guests cheerfully chided them... We were truly blessed with a great group we toured with. Yellowstone was Unbelievable and tour guide that joined us knew HIS STUFF!!! It made the trip even better.

All the advanced planning seemed to have been done. The Tour Manager and bus driver worked well together and there never seemed to be any question of our schedule. I would definitely recommend Collette to my family and friends. A little better "heads up" on which meals were covered and which we were responsible for.

We have traveled exclusively with Collette at least ten times. We would be hard pressed to single out any one trip as our favorite. This tour is right at the top with the others. Upon our first day arrival at Marriott in Scottsdale, we had a surprise visit by our daughter who drove 6 hours from Los Angeles - she planned to stay until the next morning. Our tour manager made every effort to ensure we would be able to spend quality time with her before we went our separate ways - extremely grateful. Forty-four of us traveled together and the entire group was wonderful and respectful of everyone’s time as we stopped often for either a picture or rest break or one of the many great venues Collette planned for us. The discussion centered around not only the wonderful itinerary but also most often about how lucky we were to have a great tour manager and superior bus driver. The breakfast and dinner meals, the hotels, the rest stops were wonderful (have to get back for that pie stop). During the trip it seems we couldn’t find enough positive descriptive adjectives – wonderful, awesome, beautiful, incredible, inspiring – and more. The parks and canyons left us speechless. We saw so much wildlife and the sun was out for us everyday with one exception but we were travelling that day so it didn’t count. Our bus driver knew his job well – taking care of the luggage, keeping the coach clean every opportunity he had, very conscientious about his passengers and full of information. He was viewed by all not as our driver but as part of our travelling family. And, our tour manager, absolutely a keeper and we all hope we have an opportunity to travel with him again. In fact, we did have the pleasure in 2010 on a Collette Trains and Canyons tour. He didn’t miss a beat – all the details, all the information about the areas we travelled through, the places we visited. Although there was a good deal of travelling time on the bus, he kept us busy – with DVDs (loved the mule ride at Grand Canyon), trivia tests, singing (we kind of took over), repeating details (at our age retaining details tends to slip a little), taking great care of a medical emergency (one of the reasons we travel with Collette is there have been one or two on our tours which were handled so well that we have no worries when travelling with Collette - a very important aspect is purchasing travel insurance) – he displayed professionalism as well as his humanity. He also kept us laughing and happy throughout the trip. We don’t know if we will have the good fortune to travel with the same tour manager again but we have to say that for all the tours (10) we've had with Collette we have been placed in the best of hands regarding tour managers. We are always out there promoting travel with Collette and the fact that we've travelled with them exclusively is surely a sign to everyone what a positive experience it is all around. We know how important the internet has become as a forum to market – unfortunately I don’t do Facebook or Tweet (still haven’t stepped out of the cave) otherwise I would be happy to put all of this out there. Looking forward to travelling with Collette again.

There is no way to choose a 'favorite memorable experience' when you are traveling in our beautiful country. This entire trip and all others we've taken have been memorable - we continue to talk with others about our wonderful times. But below are some of the many good times we had during this particular tour: We participated in the Wildlife Scenic Float and the Salt Lake City Temple Square Tour – both exceptional. We loved the cowboy chuck wagon experience – several of our tour members had starring roles – it was great fun. The step on guides for both Salt Lake City and Yellowstone were fantastic. Old Faithful, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial – full of informative and colorful displays and inspiration.

Virtually flawless. Only disappointment was a changed itinerary that substituted the south rim for the originally advertised north rim of the Grand Canyon. Why the change? No reason given when I asked the customer service rep prior to the tour.

The tour, from airport limousine service to state-of-the-art tour coach transportation, made for a dream vacation. The tour manager was superb. Yes, I mean superb. The coach driver was outstanding in his operation and maintenance of a spotless vehicle. The itinerary was excellent and the tedium of the few long travel periods was mitigated by the good humor and well-prepared activities offered by the tour manager.

Service
We had a great adventure with Collette tours. Collette has very helpful in making our plans.Our plans were made by Collette for our tour start to finish. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and our bus drive very expert. The limousine services that picked us up and dropped us off at the airports was wonderful. We would have liked a direct flight. We had some issues coming home from Denver and trying to connect in Chicago! The hotel accommodations were mostly excellent. The food was good. We did have an issue with our breakfast in the Grand Canyon. When we went to get breakfast with a voucher the establishment had no clue that we should have one. We had to pay for our own breakfast and the food was awful. We are still waiting for our refund on the breakfast. Most of the food that was on our plan was very good. We went to an Italian restaurant our last night in Denver that was wonderful that restaurant should be kept on the tour. The hotel in Denver was excellent! Also,we went on the extra two days to the Rocky Mountain Parks. Which was an addition to the trip. We would suggest this highly once you are in the west you want to see as much as you can! I think when making the plans for this trip these last two day should not be an option some of the people on our trip did not realize they had to sign up for this addition.

The tour was excellent! We saw so much of our wonderful country in 14 days! It is hard to provide our favorite experience everyday was memorable on this tour! From Sedona to Denver! Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Lake Powell. Salt Lake City, Grand Teton, Jackson Hole, Crazy horse, Mount Rushmore, Rocky Mts and so much more!!!! How can you pick one!! We loved every day of this tour!

Booked efficiently and returned calls with responses to queries in a timely manner. Dining experience was quite poor. Perhaps it would have been better to have meals in nearby restaurants instead of the venues where we were staying. Tour should have been a couple of days longer so more time could be spent in the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. Salt Lake City could be eliminated or if necessary, reduced to one day.
