I did not like the fact the some of the accommodations were on the 2nd floor and there were NO elevators. This made if difficult to care our small luggage to our room. A couple of the Hotels which served food, had a very limited staff. We waited two hours to receive our dinners. The problem was they had two tour buses and couldn't handle the people. Greedy owner who didn't care about his Guest or Staff who warned him of the problem.. Will Not use Collette in the future !

A regimented schedule, but the only way to see all that we did. The tour guide, Don, was exceptional. He was well prepared for the tour and provided valuable information along the way. Our bus driver, Clay, was also great. The hoodoos at Bryce Canyon were breathtaking. Also loved seeing the wildlife, especially the bison grazing on the shoulder of the road.

This tour was everything it said it was in that we saw a lot. However, it was really a "drive by" of the Parks. Our tour director, Sheryl, was awesome. She has extensively researched our destinations and routes and shared loads of info and videos. The bus driver was equally great. He was so good navigating the switchbacks of Zion. Bill was very personable and professional and an added component of the trip. He and Sheryl made a good team. Having hip problems I didn't anticipate the pain I would experience sitting on the bus for such long periods of time. Given the large amount of miles traveled, Sheryl, allowed for as many stops as availability and time allowed. It was still painful. I've never taken so many ibuprophen in 12 days. I don't know if this info would have influenced my decision to go on the trip. I do not regret going. We had a wonderful tour. The most memorable experience was the amount of respect everyone showed to each other. No complainers and no one was cronically tardy. We all had fun.

This tour was a most memorable one. The sites that we visited and the beauty of our country is unmatched to anything I’ve ever experienced. The accommodations for the most part were very good. The rooms were clean and most exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Bryan Mulvaney was so personable and full of knowledge about every state park and monument that we visited. He even added a personal touch by providing his own videos of the sites we were about to see. What impressed me very much was that he was able to assist me in getting substitutions for some of the meals that I was unable to eat due to food allergies. Bryan’s ability to add humor to the tour group also made for a fun trip. I would definitely recommend this tour and Collette specifically.

I would definitely recommend the Collette tour of the national parks. We would have never been able to visit all the sites on our own. Our driver was excellent, and our tour guide planned everything out perfectly. He also provided a lot of insights that we would otherwise not have known. I would recommend going later than the middle of May, as we did encounter below freezing weather and snow in Wyoming!

It was a balanced trip (rest stops, breaks, travel time) that had us seeing some of our country's most spectacular natural wonders almost daily. During the long drives, the tour manager kept us busy with interesting facts, games, advice, and videos. I can say that our friends and family were not bored with the usual vacation photos, but they readily agree we had a dream trip. Have gotten lots of compliments and inquires as to how they could look into this tour for their future dream vacation. By the way, this is our second Collette trip, and they did not disappoint us with either trip to the USA National Parks and Iceland.

My wife and I had a great overall experience. The tour manager was terrific. He was knowledgeable of everything we saw, he provided great background to all we saw at our destinations and along the way. He provided supplemental videos to improve our knowledge of our destinations. The bus driver was also outstanding. He was also very knowledgeable of the route and destinations. He was safe and courteous. The accommodations were nearly all outstanding as well. The ones that were lacking were probably because they were close to our destinations. I think the tour could benefit by eliminating Denver as a destination and finding another location close to the Rocky Mountains.

The tour needed a more structured rotation for getting on and off the bus, which became very difficult for people in the back of the bus. Improvements in the bus like cup holders and tray tables plus more legroom in some of the seats were needed for such a long tour. Written slips with the AM timing and destination for the next day should have been used. Bus driver was excellent!

Six of us got covid. This could have been avoided if everyone wore masks but out of 55 people, only four wore masks. Also, it would be great if the water bottles were recycled. If that can't happen, then we do not need water bottles. Everyone was told to bring their own reusable one anyway. Please inforce your own suggestions. Thank you!!

The service was good, our guide was great. There was just not enough room between the seats on the bus for as long as the trip was. We expected a little bit more room to be able to move around comfortably. We felt like since we were on the bus so many days, and so long that the bus would’ve been a bit more spacious. Since it was a tour bus we just expected it not to be crammed packed with seats allowing more legroom.

We enjoyed all the parks, my favorite part was the scenic route down the snake River on the raft. Our little guard was very informative and a delight as he gave us the details. It was a great disappointment that we did not get to go to Yellowstone park, but we know that could not be helped. We do appreciate the fact that Ann our guide was able to find us alternative parts to go to.

I thought the tour was well put together and we saw all planned tour sites plus some . But the one and only Major fault in the tour was the tour bus itself. This bus may be acceptable for a day or overnight tour but NOT for a 10 day tour. It was very tight seating, air control was far less than acceptable. It lacked working electrical outlets by all seating. In general extremely disappointing traveling mode. But must say all lodging and food planned establishments were very good to excellent accommodations.

All parks visited were memorable experiences. Tne natural beauty of our parks were more spectacular than any pictures seen. Each park and monument had its own spectacular sites(ie. grand canyon, Zion, Crazy Horse, Mt Rushmore) It was a great way to see the many beautiful wonders here in the USA.

They all treated us like we were their only customer.
Trip Rating:

This tour covers a lot of ground 2081 miles to be exact! when you hear 5 national parks in 12 days - Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, 5 states, how could you pick out a favorite? We had not been to this part of our beautiful county and at every turn, each day we thought how could this get ant better - but it did. Going in October was a risk (Yellowstone was closed couple of days before we got there because of snow) but this time of year was beautiful, Arizona a beautiful 80 degrees, golden Aspens, snow on the mountains, snap in the air with blue skies, magnificent sun sets (Grand Canon North Rim) and the stars in the evenings. We saw so much wild life, seemed every morning we started off seeing something unusual, Condors, eagle, bison, elk, moose just to name a couple.

Trip Rating:

Very well organized and Barbara such a gracious and knowledgeable hostess. Sylvester a grand tour coach driver too. Also very gracious and helpful when exiting the bus. Tour good, but very lengthy bus drives, and really short visits to most attractions, Just the nature of the scope that this tour entailed. I certainly would recommend Collette to anyone, and would consider a future Collette tour for myself. Thank you so much for the lovely trek through the West. Carole Stanfield

We would recommend Collette, and were very happy with the trip. The itinerary was great, and we loved the parks we visited and the amazing scenery.

Trip Rating:

Our tour guide, Phyl, was very knowledgeable about the area we were visiting, and she kept us informed/entertained by giving us facts about the areas we were in. She hiked with us, which we appreciated. Hard to narrow down my favorite memorable experience, but I really loved being at the Grand Canyon and staying in the cabins. Yellowstone was awesome, and we enjoyed staying in their beautiful lodge.

Well worth the price to see our wonderful national parks.

Trip Rating:

Everything was very well planned. I appreciated the luggage being taken care of at each stop. We got to see many wonderful places. The pace was a little intense and I was dismayed that many places had no accommodation for people with handicaps (for example to get from the rooms to the food sites that required a long walk).
Trip Rating:

Zion was absolutely incredible and breathtaking. Bryce also was memorable; I loved seeing the bison in Yellowstone.

07/06/2019

Trip Rating:

This trip was phenomenal. Hayden, our trip manager, was outstanding and made the trip extraordinary. She knew the history, geography and geology and enjoyed sharing this with us.

Everything was Great, Our guide Brian was Super, Knowledgeable and Friendly. He handled any problems that arose instantly and satisfactory to everyone. Giving credit to Collette for being so quick in wanting to please their travelers. There was only one hotel we didn't care for the High rise and their service was poor RL in Salt lake. We would definitely book another trip with Collette in the future as long as we could afford to do so. Mark our Bus Driver was also a Great Asset to the trip, Excellent driver, Great personality and knew how to handle that bus.

Almost perfect!

Trip Rating:

Very well organised and an excellent leader, lots of interesting sights, experiences and things to learn. The accomodation at the Grand Canyon was unacceptable though, and to gain the best from the stop at the Oregan Trail visitor centre more time was required. The coach was comfortable except for the two front seats.
Trip Rating:

Great driver, coach and stops. Yellowstone was our favourite.

02/12/2019

Trip Rating:

The trip was very good but some of the places - Lake Powell, Yellowstone - didn’t have enough places for us to eat dinner. We had a long wait period at both places. We understand we weren’t the only guests but with a bus load of people dinner reservations should have been made. The dinner in Rapid City (our last night) was not very good. Our other meals were very good or excellent. Overall we did enjoy our trip and definitely will travel with Collette again and will also recommend you to our friends and family.
Trip Rating:

We enjoyed Salt Lake City the best. The dinner show at Jackson Hole was also one of our favorites. Loved seeing the animals in the parks. Scenery was breathtaking.

All of the trips into Zion, Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Little Big Horn Monument, Mt. Rushmore, and Crazy Horse were exactly what we wanted.

01/18/2019

Had a wonderful trip; things went perfect as far as I was concerned!

Trip Rating:

All the motels and restaurants were great, and all the scenic stops were perfectly beautiful. Bus was comfortable; plane trips as good as plane trips get nowadays. Tour director and bus driver were informative and personable; doing their job extremely well. Can't think of a thing that would have added to my enjoyment.
Trip Rating:

One of the highlights (in addition to all the beautiful mountains and all the other wonderful scenery) was Sault Lake City where we ate in a wonderful building, AND an unexpected highlight was getting to see/hear the Mormon Choir practice in the evening, and the organ recital/practice the next day.

11/07/2018

Absolutely wonderful!!!!

Trip Rating:

Yes, I would certainly recommend their service. This was my second trip and it was wonderful.
Trip Rating:

When friends and family ask me how the trip was, I said a "fifteen". Overall, the bus driver was outstanding and the occasional tour person who told us about specific sites, such as "Crazy Horse" was terrific. I didn't like the fact that they passed a hat around the bus to tip the person. It should have been included with the price we paid for the tour.

11/06/2018

All in all happy Ivwent

Trip Rating:

Collette provided an excellent guide and driver, however there was noone to get us upon arrival 10/10.in Arizona. Could have eliminated 2 days in Salt Lake. It made trip too long.

Wonderful National Parks adventure

Trip Rating:

Our National Parks trip overall was wonderful starting with our guide Brian meeting us at the airport and giving us an overview of what to expect. Our tour bus was comfortable and clean, and our driver Dennis was a professional getting us to places we didn’t think the bus could fit. All our accommodations were top notch and comfortable. The sights of seeing the grandeur and beauty of our Country’s National Parks with a great group of travelers enhanced my expectations.

We had a great time. The tour manager, local guides, and drivers we had were excellent. Most memorable for us was the Little Grand Canyon in Yellowstone. The local guide told us to not take a peek at it until we were at the top platform. It was great advice and we loved the view seeing it all at once.

10/27/2018

Trip Rating:

Organisation both from the London office and on the tour was excellent. The only thing that would have improved it would have been to have had an e-mail contact in London for those queries that weren't really urgent enough to warrant a phone call. It was also slightly frustrating that the London phone number given on the correspondence went out of use but the new number wasn't automatically given when we dialled the original. We had to find it from the website.
Trip Rating:

A very good tour but inevitably there were some very long coach trips. Bryce Canyon was probably our favourite visit.

A beautiful trip, well planned, explained by customer service fully from the day we booked the trip and well executed by our tour guide. Samantha was pleasant, knowledgeable and ready to help everyone who had the smallest issue to those who were concerned about flight changes.
Trip Rating:

Grand Canyon in the early morning hours watching the sunrise over the canyon was spectacular! Wouldn't have been possible had we not stayed in the rustic log cabins. Would have preferred an additional day at the Grand Cayons to perhaps take an optional mule ride or just sit and stare out into it's beauty and one day less in Salt Lake City.

I loved the spectacular scenery we had for two weeks. The Chuck Wagon dinner was awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed our raft flloat down the Snake River. I could go on and on because there was nothing I didn’t enjoy About this trip.

Great trip; accommodations need review regarding bathroom toilet height

Trip Rating:

A world class organization. Have had great luck with guides and drivers on many trips. On National Parks trip, hotel bathroom accommodations should have been better. Our travelling group seemed to be all senior citizens, though not advertised that way. Regardless, a majority of us, short and tall, thought the hotel toilet bowls were too low for comfortable and safe usage. Sorry to be so graphic. Collette needs to review their hotel selections and their bathroom accommodations. Some of their hotel choices are quite outdated.

Great sampling but should end in Rapid City

Trip Rating:

Tour guide could have given more information at National Parks on different tails and views. Collette customer service was very helpful when called. We had booked the trip in 2017 and had to cancel. That trip ended in Rapid City. This would have been much better. I felt that a day was wasted driving to Denver for such a short time in Rocky Mountain Park.
Trip Rating:

Please refer to previous comments. Snow King in Jackson Hole was not a place to keep on this trip.

Fabulous trip

Trip Rating:

I will recommend them for my friends and I will consider to tour with Collette in the near future. I really like Jeff W he was very knowledgeable with our tour as to where we were and I like the quizzes he gave us that was fun. Our tour driver was very polite and hospitable. I enjoyed the whole tour.

Trip Rating:

On a positive note, our bus driver was the BEST. Regarding phone calls that were made to Collette prior to the trip, the service could have been better. I waited a number of days before I received confirmation that my flight had been changed as I requested. I that our tour guide could have been more willing to help people with answers to questions and perhaps offer to do some research if she didn't know the answer. She seemed more interested in a "smooth" travel experience but sometimes, there are bumps along the way.
Trip Rating:

My reason for 2 stars is one reason only - COST. The cost of the tour was over $7,000. I understand I needed to pay the single fare but $1,500 for that was ridiculous and if I had stayed in a room with someone, that meant the cost would have been over $5,500. That is EXTREME, especially when I just found out about a trip with Trafalgar going to basically the exact same places and the cost for that trip for double occupancy is under $2,800 per person (this trip is being offered in 2019 right through the community travel agent where I live). On a positive note, I LOVED the trip itself. I loved seeing all the National Parks as well as other side trips. It was one of the best trips of my life but I am sure I could have had this same feeling with another tour company at a much lower cost.

Spectacular Canyons, Amazing Sites, Excellent, Fun Nat'l Park's Tour

Trip Rating:

Our amazing Nat'l Parks tour was our 3rd Collette tour, and as expected we had an excellent tour mgr and guide. Haydee's super organizing skills and enthusiasm got us up about 5am each morning to be ready for another day of touring. Her frequent reminders to hydrate often was spot-on for the 1st part of the tour in VERY dry summer heat especially in AZ & UT, and in the higher altitudes and dry air as we traveled through astounding canyons, the Grand Tetons, Wyoming, Black Hills and SD. Even in some remote areas, we had necessary relief stops to break up a few longer drives, and the planned tour stops were wonderful. We could not stay on the bus at most stops, but we were never forced to do more than we each could handle at stops, where we could easily view scenes or take a certain amount of time for a short hike. Our coach driver, Darrel, was professional, courteous & helpful...an excellent driver on some challenging roads that wound around & up and down in changing terrain. Our hotels were always comfortable, even though about 3 were rustic due to tour location. Even with no A/C at Grand Canyon, the cabins ON the wooded, more quiet North Rim met our needs and offered views & walking trails not everybody sees. We enjoyed extending a day at the Alex Johnson Hotel in Rapid City SD, where we took in the July 4th fireworks on the horizon and city, all visible from the hotel rooftop restaurant & patio. A wonderful trip!
Trip Rating:

Spectacular Zion and Bryce Canyons, Grand Canyon, Grand Tetons, Black Hills, vistas as we drove. The 2 canyons, Zion and Bryce were probably the most surprising treat we experienced, though it was extremely hot and dry, those canyons were amazing. The Grand Tetons and also the drive from Cody WY to Rapid City, SD was my 1st time to see that beautiful area.

The trip was very well-planned and very, very well executed. Collette's access to the parks was exceptionally smooth. The bus travel included well-timed stops about every two hours, which contributed to everyone's comfort. The bus driver was very thoughtful and as well as exceptionally skilled. Hotels were very good. And perhaps the best for last, the trip manager, Haydee Schabelski, was truly exceptional!! Her knowledge of the parks and the terrine was informative and contributed greatly to the total experience. Haydee is an outstanding representative of Collette!!

Fantastic tour - would highly recommend

Trip Rating:

The bus trip was our first and we were delighted with it. Everything was very well organized and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. She moved people around the bus in assigned seats so that we met everyone on our tour and also had an opportunity to view the scenery from various vantage points - great idea. The bus driver did a super job even on very difficult roads. There was a nice balance of driving and stops. We covered a lot of territory to see the national parks and it was spaced out very well. The hotels were uniformly good and the speed and efficiency of getting us to the rooms and getting our baggage to us was incredible. We would never have been able to see so many national parks without being on this kind of tour. One suggestion - give everyone a refillable water bottle instead of having everyone purchase water bottles each day. This would have saved over 400 plastic water bottles from the trash and there were easy places to refill them everywhere.
Trip Rating:

We saw so many parks and entry and viewing was made easy by the organization of the tour.

07/06/2018

Top-notch tours

Trip Rating:

This is my 3rd trip with Collette and each one has been top-notch. The tour managers are well-organized and very knowledgeable, fun and willing to share info, make things fun with games and movies about what we are seeing. The overnight stays are usually in very nice places. They pack alot into the tour. Well done!
Trip Rating:

The scenery thru out the tour was spectacular. Each park was a little different experience, and each one was wonderful. Terrific tour manager, well organized, entertaining and informative. Great group of people on the tour. Could have done Salt Lake City in 1 overnight instead of 2, and stayed in rapid city for a night to tour that area. Great tour!

07/05/2018

Trip Rating:

Great trip. Bus and bus driver were excellent. Our Collette tour director was also excellent and took good care of us the entire trip. This is a great way to see several of the national parks in one trip. Hotel accommodations were very good. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the west and leave the driving and details to someone else!
Trip Rating:

Same reasons as stated above. The most memorable experience was probably the rafting experience on the Snake River in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Entire experience was seamless from beginning to end. Our guide Molly was a joy to be with and her level of professionalism and organization was outstanding. Our bus driver was wonderful and made us all feel safe and comfortable. Would recommend the trip to anyone.

The entire trip was an experience of awe and wonder at the beauty and majesty of our National Parks. Zion Canyon was a special surprise since we had not been as aware of its beauty as some of the other locations.

06/30/2018

Service was excellent.and the tour guide and bus driver were great

Trip Rating:

We loved the tour, except why spend two nights in Salt Lake City? It is not a National Park. Most of the people on the bus felt the same way. We would have enjoyed more time at a beautiful park rather than a city, no matter how nice it is.We expected a more luxurious bus with more room between the seats considering the amt of time we spent and the money.

Tour and guide were great except for spending too much time in Salt Lake City. More time in Grand Canyon or Yellowstone.

Trip Rating:

The most amazing natural views of America - sitting on a deck and watching the sunset in the Grand Canyon, the beauty of Sedona, Bryce, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons. A lot of riding on the bus but it is worth it to see all the beauty there is to see and watching the landscape pass from your seat on the bus. Bison, osprey, elk, mountain goats, eagles, cattle, horses, so much to see. If you are lucky you get Ted as a bus driver, the best, and Nicki was fabulous!

from the moment we were picked up at our front door, I felt like someone was taking care of every aspect of our trip. We no sooner got our luggage off the carousel at the airport & the next person was taking us to our hotel. Once on the trip our tour director was so knowledgable & helpful, she totally enhanced our experience. Every hotel was exactly what we would have expect as far as clean, modern, and excellent accommodations.
Trip Rating:

I feel like we saw everything that would have interested us on this tour and no stops that didn't. Which is way we choose Collette. I did feel a few times rush and would have liked just a little more time, especially when we had to fit sightseeing & lunch in our time slot. But I also understand that was the only way to see everything that we covered on this particular tour.

06/21/2018

Trip Rating:

This is the first tour my husband and I have taken. I called Collette after seeing an add on the AARP website. They were wonderful and put me ar ease immediately. I had been extremely nervous about the whole process of planning a trip like this, but found that we didn’ have to worry, everything was taken care of by Collette. Alice Kirby, the tour manager was wonderful She was extremely knowledgeable and organized everyone Had the best time.
Trip Rating:

It is really hard to pick out any one experience. We went to see national parks, and we certainly did that, starting with the Grand Canyon which I thought would be my favorite. Then we got to each of the others and, of course, I thought they were a favorite. In other words, they were all my favorites, each was so different. But the most amazing part of this trip was the scenery and the other people on this trip. Alice was wonderful in giving out the history of each area. I could go on and on, but this was the most wonderful, fun and memorable experience of a lifetime.

I was impressed by the immense open spaces in our Country - from the plains areas to the majestic mountains of all the Parks. Salt Lake City is beautiful - Jackson Hole Wyoming (with snow!) was fun.

11/01/2017

Not What I Expected

Trip Rating:

The transfers from hotel to hotel went smoothly. Our guide set up our seats on the bus in a creative and respectful way, allowing us to make many new friends. The friendships were the highlight of the trip...we laughed together at the many foibles of scheduling (including having to use the drop toilet --one at a time--because the park office was closed at Jackson Hole). It was VERY disappointing to arrive at the North Rim Grand Canyon Lodge in the dark (just after sunset). We had to find our rooms in the dark, then had nothing to do until sunrise. We had only a few hours of daylight to actually see the Canyon. This was to be one of the highlights of our trip, but ended up being a huge disappointment. It seems like this scheduling continued to be disappointing throughout. In Jackson Hole, we had the most time, but there were no activities open at the lodge. Why weren't we told that the dates of this trip were at the end of the season and many activities were no longer available (including getting our park passports stamped because the park offices were closed)?
Trip Rating:

Scheduling gave us the most time in the hotels (sleeping) or on the bus getting to our next venue. Many of the activities at each park were shut down at this time of year. The most memorable part of the trip was the Crazy Horse Memorial because of the history and dedication of the Korczak family.

Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip: we had a great tour director and bus driver. We got some great pictures even the ones in the fog and snow were beautiful. (Now if only Collette could control the weather)

Trip Rating:

Our tour guide was unfamiliar with the tour and read from her guide book,I became ill because we did not have air conditioning in some of the places we stayed in. I have severe allergies and it made the tour unpleasant for several days. I asked the guide if we had air in all the rest of the hotel and was told yes,this was untrue as again we spent a night without and I suffered again for several days.
Trip Rating:

The scenery was breath taking but not enough time in grand canyon or Yellowstone The snake river fgloat was amazing.

Hello, thank you for sharing this feedback with us about the tour. We have passed this along to members of our team for review. We appreciate you and value your insight as it helps us to improve our tours for future guests. We look forward to traveling with you again soon.

Package of tour information was great.
Trip Rating:

Tour was fabulous. The parks and the sights we saw were beautiful. I would recommend dropping out Crazy Horse and A shorter stay in Salt Lake City since neither are National Parks. It would have been great to have added Devils Tower and the Badlands since thy were so close.

10/06/2017

Overall a very good travel experience.

Trip Rating:

Good, reliable coach and driver. This was especially important when our weather ranged from 107 to snow and heavy fog in the mountains. Good travel manager. *Personal information removed by Feefo* taught us lots and used multiple methods - speaking, visuals, DVD player. Good alternate accommodations for the lodges advertised. Still disappointed that with a National Parks Tour, more so than with other tour, we were expecting a heavier 'lodge' experience. Good opportunity to experience lodging IN the National Parks at two locations. Could have stayed in the little cabin at Grand Canyon for a week. Especially good food at Lake Powell and Grand Canyon. Good highlights of some beautiful country. Yes, we have already recommended Collette to many friends and family.
Trip Rating:

See above comments. Most memorable was stop at Tetons and Church of the Transfiguration.

Amazing Tour

Trip Rating:

The tour was absolutely amazing. We saw exactly what we wanted to see plus more. Our Tour Manager, ***** **** and our driver, ***** ****** were a great team. Collette arranged for some outstanding dinners for our group, one being in SLC as well as our farewell dinner in Rapid City. I highly recommend the National Parks of America tour.
Trip Rating:

Bryce Canyon National Park is such a different landscape than the other parks. Our tour manager took us on a walk to see the sunrise in Grand Canyon, which was spectacular, every minute changed the scenery.

10/04/2017

Spectacular!

Trip Rating:

The tour guide was exceptional! Loads of great information and always had something interesting to say or for us to do. This was my 2nd or 3rd Collette tour and I wouldn't travel with anyone else.
Trip Rating:

Each park was different. The sheer vastness of the canyons must be seen in person. Pictures don't do them justice.

handout the evaluation form at the beginning of the tour. This gives the tourist time to evaluate each stop and attraction in a timely manner. Evaluation form should not be given out at the last night group dinner and collected at the end of dinner.

The trip was wonderful due to the leadership of Jeff Whitman!

Trip Rating:

Our only concern was having to change the hotel to stay in Idaho Falls. It made for long days of riding on the bus. Everyone was complaining about that. Otherwise I would have given you the highest mark available.
Trip Rating:

Accommodations at Idaho Falls was unnecessary and we should have stayed closer. Way too long a drive for all of us

09/11/2017

Two weeks of breathtaking beauty

Trip Rating:

Tour guide, Jeff Whitman, took care of every little detail. Bus driver, John ?, was so experienced and wonderful. Hotels were very nice and tour was one of my all-time favorites. Although we got just a taste of locales due too time constraints, it was fabulous.
Trip Rating:

I loved the north rim of the Grand Canyon experience. The little log cabins were special. I wouldn't want to stay there for 12 days, but that experience enhanced the trip with its rustic appeal and the marauding squirrels that tried to get in. Dining room is wonderful and you can't beat the views.

08/03/2017

Excellene trip!

Trip Rating:

Everything was perfectly coordinated, including the door-to-door service. We did not have to wait for our transportation at either end of the trip.
Trip Rating:

The overall tour experience was much better than I had expected. I was wary about sharing a bus for 14 days with 40 other people, but everyone was very friendly and everything was perfectly coordinated. *personal details removed by Feefo* was an excellent tour guide.

08/03/2017

Top rated tour!

Trip Rating:

Definitely recommend to everyone. We were treated like kings. The guide and driver were very caring and informational.
Trip Rating:

It was a very very fast-paced tour and was handled very professionally. There was such a variety of sites to see & it was handled well. Most memorable was Old Faithful and the amazing geysers to walk around.

Great tour - early wakeup easier on east coasters than west.

Trip Rating:

It was a great tour, took 2 grandchildren with me and the early hour schedule of each day was hard to wake up 2 young adults that required more sleep.

accommodations were very nice , bus was a bit tight on leg room. Bus driver *Personal Details removed by Feefo* was the best. He went out of his way to take care of everyone and their bags, always had the bus cleaned up each day and plenty of cold water in the cooler. His driving was exceptional.
Trip Rating:

I would have given a better rating if time had been managed more efficiently. There was limited time at Yellowstone but we had 2 days in Salt Lake City.. this was suppose to be a National Parks trip. We barely had our feet on the ground at Yellowstone. Most of the time was touring on the bus- very disappointing. Also, we were given a prolonged lunch stop before Jackson Hole and then got into town to find we had only a short time to look around before we boarded the bus for the ride to the hotel. Why didn't we get to town earlier and reduce the prolonged lunch break?

06/24/2017

Trip Rating:

The tour mgr. worked very hard to make everyone's trip a success. The schedule was very tight and the bus driver and the tour mgr. did a very good job at staying on schedule. The major negative was not having a direct flight out of Denver back to Atlanta. We paid full price for first class tickets, there was no reason why Collette should not have booked a flight that flew directly.
Trip Rating:

The ground transfer from Phoenix airport to the Scottsdale Hotel was not at the airport when we landed. We waited 45 minutes and had to call the help number provided in the travel literature before the driver arrived at the airport .

Lots to see, and the pace of the schedule was perfect.

Good information before the trip; excellent tour director; comfortable bus; experienced bus driver; convenient, comfortable lodgings; well-thought-out schedule.

Good choice of parks and great tour guide.

Trip Rating:

The tour was superbly managed by the tour guide. He was well organized and made the trips on the bus interesting with interesting facts and games. Unlike the tour guide friends had last year on this same itinerary, our tour guide informed us of short hikes(walks) at the parks that we could do within the time frame of each visit and even guided us on some of them. His personality and personal touches he added made this a memorable trip.

Definitely would consider taking another collette tour again....well done.

Trip Rating:

Our recent trip was wonderful---I tell folks that it was a work/holiday as be were busy and on the move each minute of every day........BUT the results were worth it....Our guide Samantha was delightful and especially our bus driver Mike was excellent. The biggest difference in this trip was that the dinners were so rushed but to see it all I guess you need to give up somethings...
Trip Rating:

The scenery was magnificent and the tour was well organized. Everyone on the tour was very compatible and Sam helped make the long bus rides pass more quickly with her stories, games, etc.

A very memorable trip - the sights were breath-taking and made by God's hand - how can you not believe that? Amazing!

Trip Rating:

This was an Excellent trip/vacation. Our tour guide were VERY knowledgable and provided us with the best experience possible. They are GREAT representatives of the Collette brand name. We've highly recommended this trip to all of our neighbors that prefer guided trips. Looking forward to our next trip - planning the Civil War Area.
Trip Rating:

As stated above, this trip provided us with sights we had only seen on TV - Bryce Canyon was the best for us. Some moments were even better than postcard views. The narratives by Karen & Roger made it even better-they love their jobs and it shows in the tours and care provided to all of us. BTW: we had a remarkable group on our bus that all got along extremely well. The 1st day of 2 of them being late-marked the trip and DID not occur again as the other guests cheerfully chided them... We were truly blessed with a great group we toured with. Yellowstone was Unbelievable and tour guide that joined us knew HIS STUFF!!! It made the trip even better.

10/27/2016

An Excellent way to see the United States and our National Treasures!!!

The entire trip was made better by *personal details removed by Feefo* and *personal details removed by Feefo* (our driver).

The entire trip was above & beyond our expectations. Driving through Yellowstone was remarkable - we had rain, snow and sleet & every time we stopped, we usually had sunshine/overcast - but we were BLESSED with unbelievable weather during this trip - saw it all.

Trip Rating:

I loved our tour guide Denise and the driver. The other tour people were very nice. The actual trip was pleasant but I felt there was much to much time on the bus. The breaks were rushed only 15 or 20 min then back on the bus for another 2 or 3 hours then an hour for lunch and shopping. The distance covered was too far. My daughter was in a wheelchair. Every part of the tour was accessible but time was an issue for me. Bags having to be out at 6:30 a.m. Then on the bus by 7:35 then Only getting to the hotel and having 30 min to get to dinner, toooo rushed for me. I needed a vacation after this vacation. I was very disappointed in the Grand Canyon and the lodging there. I had issues with the Raddison in Salt Lake City also. I did have a special situation with my daughter but I did hear time on bus and being rushed issues from others.

Great holiday, shame about the refund!

Trip Rating:

The itinerary was the closest available in the UK to our objectives, although ideally we would have liked more 2 night stays and the opportunity for a sightseeing flight at the Grand Canyon. Tour was generally good and well managed. However we do have a grievance with Collette about their delay in refunding the cost of a prepaid excursion which was cancelled by the operator due to bad weather. This incompetence may stop us travelling with Collette again.

The entire trip was wonderful. Lodging at the Grand Canyon was Very rustic to say the least. Service at both national parks was marginal to poor. I guess we caught the day that 22 staff went home and it sure showed. Food at Yellowstone left a lot to be desired. I still had to rate the trip a y
Trip Rating:

Hiking to Bright Angel Point and finding out height affects me. In spite of this made it out and got to enjoy a very special view. The Grand Canyon was Majestic. Zion and Bruce were just beautiful. We hiked some of Zion as well as Bruce. Bottom line it is difficult to pick one or the other. Then the fun and a good meal on the Cowboy wagon train dinner. Although quite cool the simple food was hot, tasty and plenty. Angel Point was thrilling because of my phobia, but the whole trip was memorable. Fun with all the people, tour manager and bus driver( Orlando)😍

The tour guide and bus driver were excellent. The local guide through Salt Lake City was very knowledgeable and interesting. The park guide in Yellowstone was very knowledgeable and interesting.
Trip Rating:

The hotel in Salt Lake City gave us a miserable one star hotel experience when we complained the A/C was not working in our room. We went from a plush four star room to one with furniture that had drawers that would not shut, wrinkled, nasty rugs, doors with wood peeling and cracking at the bottom and a "plastic" type sink top. It did have running water and A/C. That's the best I can say about it. Otherwise, accommodations were good, if not downright rustic.

08/19/2016

The tour was good except for the seat room on the bus. The seats were too narrow and there was a lack of leg room.

The seats on the bus were too small. By the end of the tour everyone was complaining about the cramped space. Had we been aware of the seat room we would not have booked the tour. I do not expect we will do another bus tour.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, but would have liked more time at the Grand Canyon and less in Salt Lake City. Denise was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable on the places visited, and provided helpful hints on how to deal with various sundry items that we encountered.

Excellent job for pre trip info.

Trip Rating:

I think they did an excellent job of keeping you informed of things along the way.
Trip Rating:

The reason I put good instead of excellent for motels is due to the fact that we were always overlooking the parking lot. I would have thought we could see more in the parks from our rooms. I was disappointed by that. I also would have liked 1more day in Yellowstone to go up to the north loop. Denise Henley was the best tour guide I have ever had. I would love to know what other tours she would be on.

This national parks tour was excellent. We have never done a bus tour like this, but we are already planning another one. It was well organized by our awesome team of Derek Moscarelli and Lance Richardson. They took us from park to park efficiently, well versed, very knowledgable, and it was a wonderful two weeks. We have never taken a vacation where my husband and I were so relaxed because we knew every detail was taken of. The awesome beauty of the national parks was breathtaking. Thank you Collette, Derek, and Lance for a great vacation.

Our tour leader, Brian, and bus driver, George, were best I've had in taking about a half dozen tours. They were both so knowledgeable, considerate, and helpful.

Trip Rating:

The best way to see the National Parks is a guided tour with Collette. Staying inside the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone Parks, seeing Bryce Canyon and Zion was breath taking. Had a great time at the Bar J Ranch for our chuck wagon cookout and show after we ate dinner. We were able to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra perform. Also found a great Italian restaurant in Salt Lake City called Valter's Osteria. Pictures alone can't describe the scenery you see along the way, you have to see it for yourself..

Great Trip and the timing was perfect.

From the initial interest, the planning, and to the actual trip itself, I was very favorably impressed.

Overall the experience is one I wouldn't have wanted to miss. There was one glitch about breakfast at the Grand Canyon, but that was immediately addressed although it has not yet been resolved. We are also hoping a location on Google+ where we can share our pictures can be made available.

Visiting Bryce Canyon, beautiful. Not enough time to hike to bottom there. Mt. Rushmore was awesome also, need more time there and less at Crazy Horse. I

A great tour

Trip Rating:

All the advanced planning seemed to have been done. The Tour Manager and bus driver worked well together and there never seemed to be any question of our schedule. I would definitely recommend Collette to my family and friends. A little better "heads up" on which meals were covered and which we were responsible for.

The TM was very good. Just missed some info when sitting in the back of the bus. Most of the accommodations were great. The only exception was because of the special setting.

We keep coming back - that says everything about Collette's desires to provide outstanding travel experiences.

Trip Rating:

We have traveled exclusively with Collette at least ten times. We would be hard pressed to single out any one trip as our favorite. This tour is right at the top with the others. Upon our first day arrival at Marriott in Scottsdale, we had a surprise visit by our daughter who drove 6 hours from Los Angeles - she planned to stay until the next morning. Our tour manager made every effort to ensure we would be able to spend quality time with her before we went our separate ways - extremely grateful. Forty-four of us traveled together and the entire group was wonderful and respectful of everyone’s time as we stopped often for either a picture or rest break or one of the many great venues Collette planned for us. The discussion centered around not only the wonderful itinerary but also most often about how lucky we were to have a great tour manager and superior bus driver. The breakfast and dinner meals, the hotels, the rest stops were wonderful (have to get back for that pie stop). During the trip it seems we couldn’t find enough positive descriptive adjectives – wonderful, awesome, beautiful, incredible, inspiring – and more. The parks and canyons left us speechless. We saw so much wildlife and the sun was out for us everyday with one exception but we were travelling that day so it didn’t count. Our bus driver knew his job well – taking care of the luggage, keeping the coach clean every opportunity he had, very conscientious about his passengers and full of information. He was viewed by all not as our driver but as part of our travelling family. And, our tour manager, absolutely a keeper and we all hope we have an opportunity to travel with him again. In fact, we did have the pleasure in 2010 on a Collette Trains and Canyons tour. He didn’t miss a beat – all the details, all the information about the areas we travelled through, the places we visited. Although there was a good deal of travelling time on the bus, he kept us busy – with DVDs (loved the mule ride at Grand Canyon), trivia tests, singing (we kind of took over), repeating details (at our age retaining details tends to slip a little), taking great care of a medical emergency (one of the reasons we travel with Collette is there have been one or two on our tours which were handled so well that we have no worries when travelling with Collette - a very important aspect is purchasing travel insurance) – he displayed professionalism as well as his humanity. He also kept us laughing and happy throughout the trip. We don’t know if we will have the good fortune to travel with the same tour manager again but we have to say that for all the tours (10) we've had with Collette we have been placed in the best of hands regarding tour managers. We are always out there promoting travel with Collette and the fact that we've travelled with them exclusively is surely a sign to everyone what a positive experience it is all around. We know how important the internet has become as a forum to market – unfortunately I don’t do Facebook or Tweet (still haven’t stepped out of the cave) otherwise I would be happy to put all of this out there. Looking forward to travelling with Collette again.

There is no way to choose a 'favorite memorable experience' when you are traveling in our beautiful country. This entire trip and all others we've taken have been memorable - we continue to talk with others about our wonderful times. But below are some of the many good times we had during this particular tour: We participated in the Wildlife Scenic Float and the Salt Lake City Temple Square Tour – both exceptional. We loved the cowboy chuck wagon experience – several of our tour members had starring roles – it was great fun. The step on guides for both Salt Lake City and Yellowstone were fantastic. Old Faithful, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial – full of informative and colorful displays and inspiration.

Virtually flawless tour of the National Parks

Trip Rating:

Virtually flawless. Only disappointment was a changed itinerary that substituted the south rim for the originally advertised north rim of the Grand Canyon. Why the change? No reason given when I asked the customer service rep prior to the tour.
Trip Rating:

The tour, from airport limousine service to state-of-the-art tour coach transportation, made for a dream vacation. The tour manager was superb. Yes, I mean superb. The coach driver was outstanding in his operation and maintenance of a spotless vehicle. The itinerary was excellent and the tedium of the few long travel periods was mitigated by the good humor and well-prepared activities offered by the tour manager.

I would use Collette again it was a very full and exciting 14 days!

Trip Rating:

We had a great adventure with Collette tours. Collette has very helpful in making our plans.Our plans were made by Collette for our tour start to finish. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and our bus drive very expert. The limousine services that picked us up and dropped us off at the airports was wonderful. We would have liked a direct flight. We had some issues coming home from Denver and trying to connect in Chicago! The hotel accommodations were mostly excellent. The food was good. We did have an issue with our breakfast in the Grand Canyon. When we went to get breakfast with a voucher the establishment had no clue that we should have one. We had to pay for our own breakfast and the food was awful. We are still waiting for our refund on the breakfast. Most of the food that was on our plan was very good. We went to an Italian restaurant our last night in Denver that was wonderful that restaurant should be kept on the tour. The hotel in Denver was excellent! Also,we went on the extra two days to the Rocky Mountain Parks. Which was an addition to the trip. We would suggest this highly once you are in the west you want to see as much as you can! I think when making the plans for this trip these last two day should not be an option some of the people on our trip did not realize they had to sign up for this addition.

The tour was excellent! We saw so much of our wonderful country in 14 days! It is hard to provide our favorite experience everyday was memorable on this tour! From Sedona to Denver! Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Lake Powell. Salt Lake City, Grand Teton, Jackson Hole, Crazy horse, Mount Rushmore, Rocky Mts and so much more!!!! How can you pick one!! We loved every day of this tour!

Booked efficiently and returned calls with responses to queries in a timely manner. Dining experience was quite poor. Perhaps it would have been better to have meals in nearby restaurants instead of the venues where we were staying. Tour should have been a couple of days longer so more time could be spent in the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. Salt Lake City could be eliminated or if necessary, reduced to one day.
Trip Rating:

Found the Hoodoos amazing .Also the Cody Museum and Mount Rushmore were really amazing. Needed more time in Scottsdale, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. Don't know if there was anything to see in Rapid City, since we arrived too late in the day. Overall the itinerary was excellent. Although the group was rather large, it worked well. Everyone was delightful and all added to the enjoyment of the trip.

Bryce and Zion were both spectacular. Also, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon offered a chance for hiking and beautiful sunrise/sunset opportunities without the crowds.

Great way to sightsee places for the first time

Trip Rating:

Collette provides a very professional service and enjoyable experience. I really value their limo service to and from the airport when you book flights with them. It is also very nice to have the tour guide waiting for you at the airport at the start of your destination. Collette takes the stress out of traveling and sightseeing. The bus was modern and comfortable. The itinerary was efficient and packed with fun sightseeing. This is my fourth trip with Collette and all have been great experiences.

The National Parks tour was a great way to see some beautiful parts of America for the first time. From Sedona, Arizona to Rapid City, South Dakota (Mt. Rushmore). I saw places I'd never thought I'd see. Bryce Canyon, Utah was an amazing sight to see, with it's red rock formations. But just about every stop was interesting and enjoyable. Even little Cody, Wyoming had a great museum about Buffalo Bill and Indians. I really enjoyed Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The visit there was made even better by our stay in a first class resort-style hotel at The Lodge at Jackson Hole. The evening was fun with a covered wagon trip, complete with Indian ambush, to a cowboy dinner in the park. Great way to sightsee. Great way to see an amazing part of America.

Fantastic tour. Only 2 suggestions: 1. A few more hours at the Old Faithful Geyser and less time at Cody Cultural Center (kinda a snore after a half hour), and 2. In Jackson Hole, offer Wildlife Safari as an optional excursion. I did this on my own and it was awesome. Guides are biologists and know their stuff. And were able to take a small group (3 of us) into the back unpaved roads to see the wildlife. Well worth the money.
