    Having traveled with Colette before, this trip lived up to my expectations. We kept busy, but had time to do things on our own or relax. I appreciated the smaller (22 people) group. We spent two days on Yellowstone. We almost covered everything. My favorite was the Grand Prismatic geyser. Our tour guide knew the best way to cover each site. Had I done Yellowstone on my own, I think we would have needed more days or we wouldn’t have seen as much. Our tour guide was able to add more to the trip because everyone was on time. He was thinking if us and future trips as well. I loved everything we did. It was my first time rafting on a river. Montana is beautiful! Because of the wildfires in Canada, our sunsets were beautiful, too.

    Outstanding tour with a great travel group. I appreciated having two days in Yellowstone National Park as there is just so much to see there. Our tour manager, Michael Hepler, did an excellent job sharing his insights and some tricks that made the experience even more enjoyable. We had a side trip to First People's Buffalo Jump State Park that was also a high point. The small group size (22 people) also helped us to get the most out of the trip.

    All the connections from hotel to ferry to islands worked out well. I was disappointed in the lobster dinner because the food was just lukewarm - not hot. Our 2nd hotel seemed old and dated compared to 1st hotel. But the Breakfasts at 2nd hotel were amazing. Loved the fresh fruit options.

    Our trip started in Fairbanks, and I really enjoyed the hotel it had a very nice view of the river (and boats going by), trees and flowers. Enjoyed going on the Riverboat Discovery and seeing the Chena village. After Fairbanks, we took the much anticipated train from Fairbanks to Denali and the views of the terrain was awesome and enjoyed the blueberry pancakes in the dining car. We enjoyed Denali by taking a hike to Horseshoe Lake Trail and seeing the mirrored lake, and then the tundra bus trip saw bear with her cub, moose, dall sheep. We went to Ta;keetna and seeing the ranger station where they showed those attempting the hike to Denali and the museum. The highlight of the trip was going from Anchorage to Whittier to go on the glacier cruise. We enjoyed the view of the glaciers, saw a few otters, and experienced the calving of the glaciers. It was an awesome and enjoyable trip.

    It would be too hard to pick just one. I enjoyed the entire sightseeing experience, getting to see different things and many things I've always heard about but not seen in person. Now I have seen them, and experienced them with a really great group of people, and excellent tour manager and driver. Thank you Collette for the experience. It will be always remembered.

    Seeing Denali in full view for 3 days! That was exciting! All the excursions we took were perfect. From seeing all the wild life in their surroundings, the whale watching, seeing baby dolphins and the salmon swimming upstream. The cruise was perfect including the mild temperatures and no rain!!

    The whole tour was excellent. It was very well planned out and paced. We never felt rushed or herded. All the hotels were very nice. The two days at the historic Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island were wonderful. The lap of luxury and such an interesting history of the island. I really enjoyed learning so much of the history of Chicago and Michigan the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn were amazing. We had one whole day to see both but we could have used 1 day for each, there was so much to see. But that would have extended the tour. All the places we visited were great and the local tour guides were wonderful. So informative. I wish we had more time at the Frederik Meijer botanical and sculpture gardens, but then it was 175 acres and you could probably spend days there. What we did see was beautiful.. The weather was beautiful every day of the tour and there were flowers everywhere. I loved the whole trip and would highly recommend this trip and Collette tours.

    I loved the horse drawn guided tour of Mackinac & wished the weather had been more cooperative so that I could have also biked the island. instead, I enjoyed playing mini golf @ the Grand w/ 3 others from our group. I also thoroughly enjoyed the ferry rides from Mackinaw & to St. Ignace.

    Entire trip was delightful. Katie our tour guide kept us informed about each day’s activities, meeting times and places, and interesting things to see. The bus ride into Denali National Park was certainly the highlight of the trip. It was a crystal clear day and we saw the entire mountain along with bears, caribou, and moose in their natural habitat.

    United States Travel FAQs

    Some of the top places to visit in the U.S. include the national parks, New York City, Hawaii, and Alaska. From the natural beauty of iconic parks like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, to the energy of New York City, the tropical landscapes of Hawaii, and the rugged wilderness of Alaska — these destinations consistently rank as traveler favorites.

    Collette’s USA tours are very senior-friendly. With a range of activity levels from 1 to 4, travelers can choose tours with a pace that best matches their comfort, mobility, and interests. Whether you’re looking for a more relaxed experience or something a bit more active, we have tours designed to fit your travel style.

    Collette’s USA tours are a great option for solo travelers. Many guests travel on their own, and our guided tours provide a safe, social, and stress-free way to explore. It’s also an ideal choice for first-time solo travelers who want to gain confidence traveling domestically before venturing abroad.

    The parks can be visited in all four seasons. Shoulder season — spring (March - May) and fall (September - November) — is typically the best time to visit U.S. national parks, offering a great balance of mild weather and more manageable crowds. Summer is peak season, bringing warmer temperatures, fully open parks, and more visitors. Winter provides a completely different experience, with fewer crowds, lower prices, and the chance to see parks transformed by snow — though some areas may have limited access.

    You can absolutely take a themed tour in the U.S. We offer a variety of tours designed around unique interests and experiences. From festive holiday tours and fall foliage journeys like Colors of New England, to scenic Alaska cruises and city stays in destinations like New York City and Washington, D.C. — there’s something for every travel interest.
