Best bits: The Bright Angel walk in the Grand Canyon, seeing the sunset from the South Rim of the GC and the Nevada Falls hike in Yosemite. (more)Barry Mell
The time spent in Monument Valley was probably the most memorable for me...Memories of my fellow travelers will last. We had fun. (more)Lesley Hale

Memorable parts?
Yosemite and Grand Canyon National Parks, walking amoungst the Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon and sleeping under the stars in the Navajo Tribal Lands. The children had the most wonderful time paddling in rivers, playing in the sand, climbing up rocks at the Kodachrome campsite, riding bikes in Yosemite and following the geology time-line in the Grand Canyon.
Tips?
Mostly don't bother to pitch the tent - just sleep under the stars! Take as little baggage as possible - you... (more)Helen Perry

I loved this tour - it was amazing! Being able to travel Alaska in a converted school bus, with amazing guides and a fantastic group of like minded people, made for an incredible trip. We got to see some beautiful places and animals, ate really well and generally just had the best time. (more)Sasha Lim
Since this was my first trip on my own I felt very comfortable with the vacation providers as the owners were the people directly running the trip. They were always available to answer questions both before and during the trip. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking for an exciting overland tour of Alaska (and Canada too!). (more)Julie Woods
This is the best vacation my partner and I have ever been lucky enough to have. We thoroughly enjoyed it and it exceeded our dreams. If anyone is thinking of seeing Alaska and considering camping, this would be the tour to choose. (more)John Cracknell

Memorable parts?
It was all memorable because of the variety of the places we visited. We were concerned we might be 'canyoned out' by the time we had finished but we certainly weren't.
Tips?
This vacation is flexible enough in terms of the walking opportunities to cater for a wide range of ability and stamina. We were somewhat worried about this even as fit 65-70 year olds but in all parks there were different grades of walks available. Really travel light as there are opportunities...

Mclaren Glacier/Columbus Glacier was the best highlight. (more)Julian Mclean
We were instantly drawn to the Alaska Denali Expedition because it encompassed everything we wanted from our time in Alaska – and it didn't disappoint! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and it has given us some incredible memories we'll treasure forever. We would 100% recommend this trip. (more)Mark Annal

The most memorable for me was in Zion NP, the ascent to Scouts Corner. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, the scenery (especially in parks) and the travel companions, guide and driver. (more)Maurice Morton
Amazing, the best vacation I've ever had! All of it was incredible but climbing Angel's Landing was the highlight, it was
extreme!!! (more)Sarah Preston

Zion & Bryce Canyons were new to me and quite spectacular, esp with a light covering of snow on the peaks and in some gullies. The trip allowed plenty of
time for hiking / walking and also for taking photographs which was really great. (more)Pamela Harris
Well planned and organised. Excellent itinerary with a good
balance between travel time and time at the location. Great guide! (more)Dini Plug
Excellent, great bunch of fellow travelers (tour was full at 13).
Our tour guide, Dan, was great and made the vacation work really. He was always available to us and coped well with our different needs/wants and the unpredictable weather.

Memorable parts?
There were many great aspects to the vacation - scenery, atmosphere, wildlife, tour guides, traveling companions, camp fir - the most memorable was sighting humpback whales whilst kayaking.
Tips?

Local benefits?
Apart from flying to get there and traveling around by bus there was very little environmental impact
Overall rating?

From

Memorable parts?
There were so many memorable parts of this vacation. I wanted to see San Francisco, the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. This tour provided me with the opportunity and so much more. The other places visited were unknown to me but they all turned out to be fantastic with stunning scenery and landscape. Even Las Vegas was memorable but two nights in the place was quite enough for me. If I had to pick one memory, it would have to be Yosemite which everyone should see.
Tips?

Memorable parts?
Each new place visited on the itinerary. The variety was brilliant.
Tips?
Check the age range of your fellow travelers, if you are not among the first to book. I was with an excellent group ranging from 23 to 63!
Local benefits?
Yes, certainly. Recycling was handled extremely well and local people were used in the one place where it was possible and mattered, i.e. Monument Valley and the Navajo Indians.
Overall rating?
Excellent. (more)Audrey Nice
From

Memorable parts?
There were so many highlights! Perhaps the most memorable was the sunset in
Monument Valley, the light made the rock glow. The tour leader was also excellent - knowledgeable, enthusiastic, but reactive to the views and wishes of the travelers, anticipating our preferences.

Be prepared for extremes of temperature - cool and cloudy in San Francisco, extremely hot and dry in Vegas.
Local benefits?
