One day is too much of a rush. Loved watkins glen. Niagara was very busy and commercialised. Maid of the mist fantastic. The tour to the fort for 25 dollars was a waste of time and money

Although the schedule is hectic, that is the only way one can cover all the cities mentioned- NYC, Philadelphia, Washington, Niagara, Boston. Quality of rooms (deluxe category) were amazingly comfortable. Efficient and friendly tour guide. ..-ve: The 'Book One, Get One Free' tag on home page is misleading.Read full review
What an incredible experience" I was grateful to see so many amazing places in seven days camping trip. I was lucky to have time with people from UK, Germany, Washington D.C, Korea, NJ, Boston, and NY. We helped each other when setting up a..nd putting down the tent, preparing meals, and encouraged each other when it was hard to hike up trails. First time experience of sleeping in a tent, traveling alone, taking a shower in 6 minutes in Moab,and getting up at 4:40 AM to see the sun rising. It was breath taking sceneries in every moment and I am glad to pick this tour. Justin, tour guide, went above and beyond to make this tour successful. I can't say thank him enough. I highly recommend this trip to everyone.Read full review
"I did the 7-day-tour SouthWest Highlights from 15 to 21 May 2016. It has been one of the best experiences of my life! I have seen otherworldly landscapes, met people from all over the world (8 nationalities represented), and taken part in.. activities I thought I would never do, like a Hummer tour or Canyoneering. As a funny anecdote, several trip mates and I were discussing which was our preferred moment of the whole week. And nobody was able to choose less than 5. Now going into the technical the absolute pros of this tour are the following:
1. Tour guides are very knowledgeable. Mine (Joel Clark) not only knew a whole lot about every place we were visiting, but he also played the guitar and read poems about the West. 2. It is a camping tour. Expect healthy people from ages 20 to 70, eager both to get up at 5AM to catch a sunrise and to stay late drinking around a campfire. 3. If you see the miles per day you will be doing in this tour, and you compare it to other companies such as TrekAmerica, Green Tortoise, Contiki... you realize mos of the time you will be IN THE PARKS, not in the van rushing from one place to another. That was my main factor and I am very happy with the few time we spent driving!Read full review
I took the 7 day Southwest Campingtrip and without doubt I can say that I had the best week of my life. It was the mix (of age, culture, origin) that made our travel group so unique and thanks to our great tour guide Justin we became a litt..le family in one week. Putting up tents together, cooking in a group and sharing unforgettable experience made the time in the group special. The scenery of the National Parks is breathtaking and the well organised structure of the tour gives as much time to explore the parks as possible without getting to stressful. Justin did everything in his power to make it an unforgettable trip and as he always said "we'll make it work" - he did!! I can highly recommend this tour. It is worth it every dollar.Read full review
Very nice excursion from Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon Zion, everything was perfect! The impeccable organization was plenty of time to enjoy parks, picnic, walk and contemplate. Everyone is free. We stay in the parks about 2-3 hours. We chose.. the hotel option and do not regret it. The hotels were 10 minutes from the camp, the guide dropped us in the evening after dinner (about 21h) and collected the morning after having decamped, leaving us a little more time sleeping campers;) . I recommend taking the 2 dinners optional, it's cheap and it's nice to stay in a group. Navajo specialty was very good! Beautiful view from our room in Monument Valley, we could see the sunrise. Campers had a truly stunning view! The bus is comfortable, the road did not seem long to us with many stops. The Antelope option is in my opinion a must, we follow a local guide in the canyon advising us the best pictures, it lasted about 1:30 (perhaps not recommended for claustrophobic). We ended with the helicopter to the Grand Canyon, to make absolutely if you can, the view is totally different, it becomes more account of greatness. If you take the chopper you will have less time to walk to the Grand Canyon, about 2 hours instead of 3 hours. This tour is a perfect overview of the American West, not tourist traps, I can highly recommend it! thank you again to our guide Mike was at the top, passionate and attentive. Thank you so much!Read full review
I really enjoyed this tour! You visit some fantastic locations in a small group we had about 10 people. I chose camping, which was fine. The tents are high quality and we were supplied 2 sleeping bags each it gets cold at night. The food in..cluded was fairly basic, just sandwiches, fruit and packets of crisps for lunch and cereals for breakfast, though the Navajo food truck in Monument Valley was fairly good. Charge your camera batteries beforehand as there are limited options for charging devices while camping. Our tour guide Mike was terrific and willing to help whenever he could, even providing a charging strip in the minivan at one point. There were also local guides around some of the sites i.e. Navajo guides through Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon. All the places we visited were great and the tour was reasonably well timed - not to short or too long a time in any one place. If you are just thinking of visiting the Grand Canyon, do this instead. All the locations were amazing - it would be such a loss to go to Vegas or the Grand Canyon and miss the rest!Read full review
