What travelers are saying

"It was great to actually stay in the inn at the Grand Canyon & at Zion National park. Staying in the park gave us more time to enjoy the scenery of the parks. Most of the time we had enough time to eat & shop. There were enough rest stops on the trip. The hotel accommodations and the preplanned meals were terrific. We enjoyed the group being limited to 40 or less. With our long legs we appreciated the bus being reconfigured so we had more leg room!! Our tour director was great giving us detail & history of where we were going. Fun on the bus with games, snacks & music. We loved our trip!"

"This was our second Trafalgar trip. Tour director Matty and driver Stewart were awesome. Especially, we're deeply moved when Matty remembered what we talked about British poets and gave us a thoughtful gift ( the Romanticist poetry book)."
