The tour was amazing and the use of the tour was great. I felt like I was able to see everything that was promised during the tour.
Tour

Despite the weather having a mind of its own, we were able to see everything. There was so much wildlife seen during the tour that even our tour manager Todd was amazed. Seeing everything snow covered was absolutely beautiful.

Outstanding tour. Well organized and knowledgeable tour manager and bus driver. Would definitely recommend and consider taking other tours.
Tour

Visit to Grand Teton/Jenny Lake. Snowed on the way to Jackson Lake. Observered a herd of elk and bison on the way. Enjoyed the covered wagon dinner at Cache Creek. Great entertainment! Yellowstone National Park was awesome. Old faithful and fountains were beautiful. Kevin Costner's Tatanka was memorable.

Service

The scenery and locations were wonderful. You can't beat National Parks. Everything else was very average. Average food, average rooms, etc.
Tour

In Cowboy County you would have expected great steaks, wonderful rustic meals etc. Not cold buffets, and disappointing meals. For the price paid the food was a complete disappointment.

My tour guide was excellent. He had to follow the program and did the best he could with advising us what to see in the places where we were on our own. You should not book people to fly into Lake City, UT on Sunday...nothing is open. Our hotel did serve until 1:30p. Also, it would have been better if when riding through Custer State Park to make at least 1 stop for photos. We just rode through the park only stopping at the visitor center upon arrival.

I have already signed up for the Tuscany trip next October, so, YES, I would use Collette again. I have 3 reasons for rating the tour 4. Deadwood was a bust for me. Not a single breakfast was good (powdered or reconstituted eggs) & I did not think the hotel Earl Howard was very good (small rooms, not much upgraded and only 2 elevators for really big crowds). I though the tour guide was the best one we have ever had. I hope to have Barbara again. I reaslly enjoyed the trip, but if I did not mention what I didn't like, there might not be any improvement.

The tour was on the top of my bucket list and did not disappoint. My only disappointment was the construction at Mt. Rushmore, which I know will only make the attraction better. I think that the Badlands in South Dakota was a highlight. Our tour manager, Ann, was very informative.

Yellowstone National Park. Loved it. Especially the Lower Falls.

09/27/2019

Service

The tour manager did okay. Provided information about what we were going to see and making sure we knew the schedule as well as options of things to do at the various stops. Our bus driver did an excellent job, even making sure the windows were cleaned each day. The Yellowstone guide provided us with a good tour and information about Yellowstone's geography. The Deadwood guide was excellent as well as hilarious, making the tour very enjoyable. The guide at the National Museum of Wildlife Art went on and on about numerous paintings that we finally broke away from her tour and went on our own for the few minutes we had left at the museum. Never did see Georgia O'Keeffe and Andy Warhol art as advertised in the Collette brochure or have time to see much of the outdoor art sculptures.
Tour

It was a good tour, not excellent. I was disappointed that the raft trip in Jackson Hole was no longer included in this tour. Instead, a visit to an art museum replaced it. That turned out to be mostly wasted time. Rafting seemed to be the thing to do at Jackson Hole in the summer months. That would have been an excellent western experience. The best and most enjoyable "cowboy" thing on the trip was the chuck wagon dinner in Jackson Hole where you ride to the dinner in a covered wagon. There was too much time in Jackson to just walk around the town and shop. We even arrived in Jackson by 1230 PM with nothing planned for that day except to walk around, eat lunch someplace and shop. One couple happened to find out there was a rodeo that evening. I would have been nice if our tour guide had told us about that. There should have been some optional activities to take in Jackson..The Collette brochure for this trip should be revised to eliminate the iconic photo of the red barn in front of the Grand Tetons. You will not see this location on this trip. That spot was apparently not far from where we were but the tour guide said it is not on our itinerary. Really enjoyed seeing Yellowstone. The scenery was beautiful, but animal sightings were disappointing unless you were on the "right" side of the bus. Our hotel in Yellowstone was just a short walk from Old Faithful allowing you to see it several times. However, the most photographed thermal feature, the Grand Prismatic Spring, was a short drive away, but our tour guide told us that was not on the agenda and that there was not room there for a bus to park. A satellite view of that feature shews at least 15 bus parking spaces. Deadwood, SD was a neat town with an excellent local guide. Not enough time there, especially when that is also your lunch stop. That happened at the Cody Museum and Crazy House site as well.

I have used Collette tours for 4 tours and everyone of them were magnificent. This American Cowboy tour only lacked one important event-- the Welcome Dinner on the first night. It would have helped for the single travelers to start bonding with the group.

09/23/2019

Service

There was too much free time. We arrived at noon and once we walked around, that was it. It would have been nice to have an opportunity to have had an excursion. Dinner was on our own and we understand from another guest there was a rodeo in town that night. No one told us. The Docent, Ms. Fleishman, at the National Musem of Wildlife Art was terrible. We only saw the lobby and two rooms. No Georgia O'Keefe, no Andy Warhol or the outside sculptures. Absolutely the very best Chuck Wagon Dinner!! Super!! Loved Yellowstone, however the guide didn't know the population of Wyoming. Wht else did he tell us that wasn't true? We did not get to see the huge blue lake at Yellowstone. Unfortunately Mr. Rushmore was being worked on so we weren't able to see it lit at night. We were in Deadwood on a Sunday and loved the tour. However there weren't any re-enactors which Deadwood is known for. It was a long holiday weekend and there wasn't anyway to get a "quick" lunch or dinner anywhere. We feel we missed quite a bit of the trip having lunch. One of our group decided to get ice cream so they wouldn't miss anything. Wish we would have thought of that. Liked the badlands and Wall Drug--again a long lunch. We would have liked our tour guide to have given us more information as we drove along. Our tour guide in the UK was fabulous. She never stopped giving us information about the area, people, culture, wildlife, plants etc. Unfortunately my husband became ill in Rapid City. There were no drug stores nearby and fortuantely a guest had an OTC which was really helpful. Our tour guide was not as helpful.
Tour

I took a tour from you to the UK and it was fabulous. Our tour guide was terrific, knowledgeable, and helpful. We had very little down time and she always told us where to get served quickly. I think going over a long holiday weekend wasn't the best. We waited in one restaurant for dinner for a half hour and then the seating wasn't very good. I did have a good time. The driver was terrific and the scenery was fabulous. There were a few things I missed that I think could have been included. My favorite was the Chuck Wagon Dinner. It was the best!! The family was so talented.

Super star guide. Great itinerary. Great bus driver. I wish Collette would allow paying tips in advance like we’ve done on our five Globus Tours. On our Collette trip to Australia this January we will need to carry cash for tips for two people for 18 days. We went to New Zealand for 17 days last year with Globus and needed less then $100 in cash. Everything else was taken care of with charge card. I am not looking forward to having to carry such a large sum of cash over seas.

The free shuttles in Jackson Hole were nice but the bus drivers were very unfriendly. Really enjoyed staying at Rapid City

staff was helpful in planning and setting up air flights. Materials (especially booklet with suggestions) would have been more helpful if sent earlier. Tote bags are worthless. We like the concept of changing seats each day.
Tour

Guides and driver were all excellent. They were knowledgable and personable. They showed great care and soon realized pat needed some accommodations, even to having food served at Chuckwagon dinner so he did not have to handle a tray. The museums were excellent..could have used more time at wildlife art museum or Buffalo Bill museum.

On October 5 to 12, 2019 I went on the AmertIca''s Cowboy Country with the Canterbury Seniors. I enjoyed the trip very much. It was unfortunate that we went in October. Many events were cancelled because places Closed at the end of September. The river raft ride was changed due to low water and cold temperature. The temperature of the water was 40 and air temperature was 40 degrees. A few people (5) did the trip. I was disappointed that the Chuck wagon dinner was also cancelled. We did have a lovely dinner in Jackson Hole. We where supposed to stop at Keystone on Wednesday to have dinner but the town was closed. So we had a dinner out in Rapid City. The trip to Mount Rushmore was changed to a day time trip because the illumination of Mount Rushmore was cancelled, we had snow that day. I was very happy to go on the Grand Teton tours which took on Sunday in place of the river raft ride. That trip was wonderful and should be added to the trip. I enjoyed going to Cody, Sheridan,Deadwood and the Crazy Horse Memorial. I loved the Badlands tour and Wall Drug. The program with the Lakota Native American family was wonderful at the farewell dinner. I enjoyed learning more about the Native American culture. I was fascinated with the structure of the land in Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, in Wyoming,in South Dakota. It is so different from New England the land and the trees I found it very interesting. Thank you for all that Collette tours did to make this a special trip for me. Our tour guides Ann , Kimberly and bus driver Floyd where excellent. Thank You, It was a trip of a life time .

All things considered, the trip was pretty good. Our Tour Manager Kim Capron did a fine job. She was knowledgeable - and had a good sense of humor (always a plus when the average age of the group is 70+!). If it were up to me, I'd make our brief "extra/add-on" stop at the Minuteman SALT Missle Museum a regular, and longer, part of future "America's Cowboy" tours. It was fascinating.

Reflection on Collette

Service

For the most part it was a wonderful trip. Sometimes we could have used some down time. Our biggest complaint was the breakfast the last 3 days of our trip. This totally was not up to Collette style. I know personally that some people would think twice about traveling with Collette because of this. It truly was a bad reflection on Collette. We have travelled mutiple times with Collette and never have we been treated so poorly. I spoke with *Personal information removed by Feefo* regarding this and she tried her best to try to correct things to no avail. Other than that our rooms where very nice and our bus driver and tour agent where wonderful. Y
Tour

There where many nice experiences , we did and saw a lot. We came home tired and happy to be home.

Hello, thank you for sharing this feedback with us about the tour. We have passed this along to members of our team for review. We appreciate you and value your insight as it helps us to improve our tours for future guests. We look forward to traveling with you again soon.

Great tour company!

Service

Service throughout the trip was amazing. The only issue was that the original trip had us staying right in Yellowstone for a night and that's not what happened on the actual trip. We spend an extra night in Jackson hole so a lot of our time was wasted driving back and forth to Yellowstone. We didn't get to see much of Yellowstone so it was a disappointment. Other than that the trip was excellent. I would definitely travel with them again. *personal details removed by Feefo* our tour director was fabulous!

Disappointing trip.

Service

This Cowboy Country trip was too tiring. Some days we were on the bus from 8 am until 10 pm. Way too much time allotted for shopping and minimal time allotted for relaxing. Also I was not happy with the meals. The majority of the meals were buffets where the hot food was not hot and the cold food was not cold. Other tour companies that I have traveled with in the past let you order off the menu. I like that much better. The bus driver was nice but this is the first time I have come across a driver who did not get off of the bus and hold your packages or your hand to make sure you got off safely. I was very disappointed by that. The hotels were not of the quality I am used to when taking a tour. There were problems with house keeping in 2 of the hotels. The rooms were just standard 2 bed rooms like you can find in any hotel. Nothing special about them.

A wonderful experience all around!

Service

Our tour guide was excellent and went beyond what we expected. From her knowledge of the places we visited to the bags of candy and snacks she produced! The bus driver was great no matter what weather conditions we experienced and that included rain and crazy drivers. He was courteous and patient with the 37 "tourists" and we felt perfectly safe with him at the wheel. There were 2 extra stops and before we arrived at Mt. Rushmore our guide showed "North by Northwest"! We would gladly go on any tours that our guide and our bus driver were on. Met a lot of wonderful people and by the time our tour ended we all felt like family to the point of talking about a reunion!
Tour

Too many to pick one that really stands out. The float trip down the Snake River, the jeep safari through the buffalo herds, the drive through Yellowstone, watching Old Faithful and the guided tour, the stop at a small restaurant selling home made pies, the Badlands, the small church in the Tetons, Wall drug for delicious lunch and malts-can't pick any one thing!

06/12/2017

Very professional informative tour - thoroughly enjoyed!

Service

I love traveling with Collette. there are a couple of things that really stand out when traveling with collette - I have found that their tour guides are very informative and add a lot of good local information to the trip which really makes it more enjoyable. I also love that they bring in local guides - this really enhances the experience. I think they do a good job with the hotels and with the meals that are included. I would have given them five stars except some times in the middle of the tour the timing gets off and too much is planned to where you feel rushed. I think you would find this even if you planned it yourself. but since it is a tour group it is harder to make adjustments. But overall I would highly recommend.
Tour

I had several "favorite" experiences. If I had to pick one I would say it would be seeing Old Faithful as well as all of Yellowstone Park. It was breathtaking. Collette had a step on guide and that really added to the experience

Super sights but very poor tour management...will never use Collette again

Service

The tour manager and bus driver had a constant ******* contest throughout the tour. Unfortunately, during the visit to the Buffalo Bill museum the driver decided to leave us without telling the tour manager until he was halfway back to Yellowstone placing the tour manager into 'meltdown mode'.
Tour

Tour manager and bus driver had a constant ******* contest the entire time. This turns an otherwise great vacation into a "vacation from hell". With the number of companies that offer guided tours there is absolutely no reason to choose Collette.

Service was fine, also worked with a travel agent. Tour Manager knew almost all she presented, and she presented it well, but is a bit immature. Talked about herself too much, then again, who doesn't anymore! She was nice enough, but made her " favorites"! obvious. Not sure if I would recommend them, would have to think about that
Tour

As mentioned above. I am not sure that the ratings should go from "excellent" to "good" to "poor" I would rate some as very good (overall tour) and "average" for example, the Tour Manager. The local guides were excellent, all of them! We saw some beautiful sights!

My 13 year-old grandson and I had a WONDERFUL wild west trip!!

Service

My travel agent handled most of the transaction, so it was easy. Cost seemed high but I guess one gets what one pays for. Good hotels, good coach, driver and tour guide. Yes, I have recommended Collette and have used Collette before. Day guide at Yellowstone should have been miked. With 44 of us, we missed what she was saying most of the day. I've had a Collette tour there before and she was miked and it was MUCH better!
Tour

Our favorite was the white-water rafting (Dave Hansen) and photos!! Badlands were a BEAUTIFUL surprise ~ grandson climbed them! Mt. Rushmore ceremony at night was outstanding and patriotic! Many from our group are vets and went onstage and were so moved they couldn't talk back on the coach. Great idea to see it at night.(and former tour guide told us to sit upstairs which was better!)

Pleased with Collette

Service

The Service at Collette was great. The agents were great when I contacted them with a few small discrepancies. The discrepancies were corrected with one phone call. Definitely recommending Collette to my friends. They explained my tour and charges very clearly.
Tour

The Cowboy Tour is an excellent choice. Although there are many spectacular Things to see. The White Water Scenic Raft Ride is a great experience. See the Spectacular scenery of the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone is overwhelming. Seeing "Old Faithful" in person after many years of reading and seeing other people's picture is breath taking. Riding across the state of Wyoming is truly amazing when you see the amount of open land. Going to Cody, WY and getting to see the building of the West through the center at Buffalo Bill Cody. Then we were off to Rapid City, SD and many more sites. Deadwood, SD where we got to see more history in Wild Bill Hickcock and to see where he was shot and the ride to MT Moriah Cemetery where Wild Bill and Clamity Jane were burred. It was amazing to see the sites and hear the history of this nation. More to see in the Bad Lands, and the other sites of Buffalo that were up close and personal. They cross the roads in front of cars and buses. You just have to sit tight and let them pass. In Rapid City there is a life side statue of a past president on each corner. Then you get to see MT. Rushmore with the Four Presidents in stone.

Our 4th tour with Collette, all of which have been wonderful. In 8 days we saw so much of the country, things we would never have seen on our own. Also love that you provide limo service to and from airport.

Absolutely wonderful travel service and adventure.

Everyone at Collette was very helpful and always pleasant. Whenever I would call they would always get an answer for me and not keep me holding on the phone. I would definitely recommend Collette and will certainly be using them again for my next trip. They are very good about updating you when something has changed such as airline or flight. The tour leaders are very good and make sure everything goes well and also pay attention to each of the travelers in the group and take care of their needs, if any.
Tour

Rafting down the Snake River was definitely a highlight of the trip, as was getting within a few feet of the bison herd on our jeep ride. Seeing 10 bald eagles was a bonus. The scenery is just beautiful, no matter where you look. Enjoyed the entire trip and all of the places which were included. However, I would eliminate Crazy Horse, but leave everything else in. The hotels were very nice with the exception of the accommodations at Yellowstone. There was barely any light in the rooms and the soap was in containers fastened to the sink and the shower wall so they were not moveable and were hard to reach (you couldn't take a bath there). They did have a great breakfast and dinner. As a matter of fact, all of the meals were very good, including those at the two chuck wagon dinners and the entertainment on both these occasions was excellent. I do think this trip should be rated a 2 at least. It is a little more difficult than the 1 which the brochure stated. I did not have a problem, but my traveling companion did as did some of the other people on the trip. Overall it was great!

Great trip idea to change chuck wagon ride to 2nd night due to 2 flights/time change, Yellowstone wonderful but early arrival would be better, wall drug was wasteful, better to go to badlands then Mt Rushmore then the nice dinner, the hotels were outstanding especially the Lodge at Jackson Hole. The guide, Brian, and driver Alan, were fantastic -made the trip outstanding. The one night stays made it a little hectic. Otherwise, great time!!!!! Thank you would definitely recommend.

Love Collette, but the fact that we arrived home at 1:30 in the morning was not the ideal situation. We live in a large metropolitan area and feel it was not proper planning on Collette's part. Better flight accommodations would have been appreciated, especially since we booked over a year in advance. This was our second trip with Collette.

Enjoyed Jackson Hole and the river raft experience. Loved Yellowstone and Custer park.
