There was a lady touring with our group who seemed to be an extension of Chinese Tours, but we weren't introduced to her. When she boarded she allowed her group to get water and didn't offer any to the rest of us. She also spoke separately ..in Chinese, to her group after we were all given specific instructions. After the tour was completed and we were headed back to our drop off points, the driver made a special stop for her group at a mall which was not part of our itinerary. We didn't appreciate being treated like second class citizens during this tour.Read full review
Well organised and scheduled! Plenty of time to see Grand Canyon. Stopped to Hoover dam on the way. Denis was informative and entertaining guide. Thanks! Kiitos!
Very well organized, honestly pleasantly surprised given the price. Actually 4 day trip on the road, first day is an optional tour of Vancouver, self checked into the hotel that night. We have family in Vancouver so spent day with them, ele..cted not to do this part of the tour.
We paid extra for front seats, definitely worth it (first off the bus at pit stops, best views on the very scenic 4-day drive). We covered a lot of ground so lots of time on the bus between destinations, pit stops always roughly every 2/2.5 hours. Tour guide (Marco) was funny and knowledgeable, a real treat on the trip. Well managed.
We are english speaking Canadians so paid extra for english bus as well. Worth it for those who do not understand Mandarin or Cantonese.
Opted out of meal plan, which seemed to be mostly chinese buffets. Can't comment on quality of the meal plan due to that. Got a little more variety (in our opinion) with various fast food/restaurants/bars along the way.
Tour guide will ask for tips $ at the end for both the driver (same driver is with your group the full 4 days) and themselves. $10 per passenger per day (so $80 for a group of 2). Supposedly helps with behind the scenes upkeep, re-fuelling, etc. Given the price we paid initially, I'm surprised they were able to fit as much as they did in the tour to begin with (i.e. admission fees/hotels each night), so we were cool with this, though a little frustrating when any cost like this isn't clear from the beginning.
All in all would definitely recommend this tour to friends. The landscape of the Rockies, and the full route driven is gorgeous, photos do not do it justice, you have to see it in person. It was a bonus that the tour was so good, which let us focus on fully experiencing the wilderness without distraction.Read full review
The booking experience was very frustrating, especially when travelling, booked for a specific time that website said was available then ended up not getting that time as they said it wasn't confirmed and had to change my travel plans. The..y need better booking site, I have never had this issue before with any other tour booking. The tour itself was great and our guide Wyatt was awesome, helping get some wonderful pictures.Read full review
100% The most wonderful part of my 3 week USA hol!!!

My sister and I completed the lodging version of the 3 Day National Parks tour on 1 June 2019. It was WONDERFUL. I can honestly say it was the 'best' part of my 3 week holiday in USA, and there were MANY highlights throughout my entire hol... The tour itself covered the canyons beautifully - just enough time in each to 'feel' how special they are. They were all so different and beautiful in their own right - would hate to have missed out on one. The tour was planned and executed extremely well by them. The bus was very clean and comfortable (We were lucky to have just 8 participants, so plenty of room). Accommodation (motel style) was excellent, met our needs perfectly. But the BEST part of our trip was our guide, Chris P. He worked so hard to ensure everything went smoothly, and went above and beyond by showing us a couple of extra places not in the curriculum. Chris' relaxed, friendly, humorous, and approachable demeanour is superseded only by his attention to detail to ensure we all had a wonderful time. And that we did, Chris!!! Thank you SOO much :))Read full review

This tour is exceptionally cheap and for the price , it is really reasonable. You will not get any tour cheaper than this. Tour guide will also help you avail of the cheapest available food and souvenirs to think this is a C2 level tour gu..ide. Only downside was chaotic first day but it was also explained that first day is dedicated to gathering everyone coming in and out of the country. Over all you can’t really ask for more given the price of this tour. Thanks.Read full review
I booked 7-days south west national parks camping tour and had a great time . Our tour guide Joel is awesome . Although we got tough weather conditions , he made sure we still could enjoyed the trip to the most . Not only sharing great stor..ies about where we went to but also all poems he read during sunset and campfire were really touching . We got lucky with our group of 13 amazing people from all over the world . I miss our time together as a family . And national parks are wonderful . Highly recommend this tour !Read full review
Checking into the tour was quick and efficient. A shaded area was provided to keep cool before going out to the canyon. We had a great tour guide and she took great photos for us in some special spots. And of course the canyon itself was un..believable!!Read full review
