Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Our guide was OUTSTANDING! He provided lots of commentary, had DVD's of the areas we were visiting, handed out puzzles and prizes, acknowledged the young people on our trip. He set down some "rules" at the beginning of the trip for the comfort of all the travelers and rotated the seating on the bus. However, he accommodated me with my motion sickness and my food allergies, calling ahead to make sure there was something on the pre-planned menu that I could eat. Our bus driver was competent and careful and I didn't feel nervous driving on the mountain roads.
This trip was outstanding, the accomdations were great, the tours, points of interest etc. the best was our tour guide. Very informative, funny, kindly, caring, on top of everything, making sure everyone is having a good time, which we all did. Our Bus driver was also a very nice man, and a very safe driver, we drove through some snowy roads and he always kept us safe. All in all the whole trip was a wonderful experience.
My 13 y.o. grandson was VERY impressed and we both enjoyed the tour immensely.
great tour of the 3 national parks. excellent guide, driver, and fun people to tour with.
The accommodations at Yellowstone Park were poor - no TV, food service terrible.. I recommend staying at a nicer hotel outside the park.
The lodge at the grant Village is very far from where breakfast was arranged and inconvenient for handicapped seniors. Instead of tourist running around, they could come out ready, the bus could take the tourists to the breakfast sight and after the breakfast, the tour could start from there. If the elevator is not available the handicapped seniors should be lodged at the ground floor of the hotel.
