Exploring America's Great Parks Reviews

I experienced 15 days of exploring some of America's great NPs. Globus made my dream to come true with a tour that was organised very well. We stayed in good accommodations. The dinner cookout in NP was one of my favourites on tour and the Buffalo tour was very exciting. Thanks to Louise, our driver who was very responsible and made it all safe for ...read more all of us on the long journey. And to Daniel, our Tour Director who worked very hard and was very enthusiastic. I was very satisfied with his behavior and attitude to everyone during the guiding of our tour. Highly recommend travelling with Globus.

Our 15-day Globus coach tour ‘Exploring America's Great Parks’ was a wonderful experience. It was a fast-paced tour covering 3,000 miles in 2 weeks, so we were 'on the go' the whole time. But that was the only way we could have visited as many national parks as we did in the time and see so much spectacular and varied scenery. It's impossible to pick ...read more a favourite national park from the trip - they are all so different and all so awesome in their own way.

We had no complaints about any part of the tour: Globus' organisation of the tour was spot on; the Tour Director and Coach driver were both fantastic; the other passengers (mainly American) were all friendly and easy to get on with; the coach was excellent; the accommodation and meals were also very good. This was our third Globus coach tour in the USA, and all have been excellent, so we'd highly recommend Globus as a tour company.

The trip was sensational. We experienced warm days with blue skies and cool snowy days in Yellowstone. Seeing the park draped in snow was amazing. Our tour director Andrew and our driver Courtney were exceptional. The arrangements by Global Journeys and Globus were seamless.

The very fast paced coach tour throughout the National Parks of America was an interesting tour. All of the National Parks we entered were in deed wonderful but there really wasn't much time to do any long walks and we often found that we were hurrying back to the coach to continue the journey. The hotel accommodation was excellent and all of the ...read more rooms were spacious and comfortable. Although we were aware of the travel distances I don't think we were ready for the very early morning departures throughout the tour and the days of sitting on a coach getting from one place to the next destination at the end of the day. There were a lot of meal inclusions in this tour, which was nice and only one optional extra tour which was the helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. This is a must do extra for any traveller.

Booking through Global Journeys was indeed very easy and Georgie Walpole, as usual, managed all of our enquiries promptly and efficiently. This was the 5th trip I had organised through Global Journeys and would have no hesitation in recommending the company to any traveller.

Thank you Global Journeys for making my holiday easy and enjoyable. It was my first tour with Globus and I cannot rate it high enough. Tour was fantastic, accommodation was good, tour director brilliant. Overall I was very impressed.

It was my first booking with Global Journeys and definitely will be booking again. Jemma was fantastic in organising ...read more and explaining everything to us. I thought the booking process was so easy and being able to login in and view anything of my booking was fantastic. Will be in touch with Global Journeys to book my new trip.

This was a fast paced travel through the best parks the US has to offer. This was our 10th tour with this company, our first with Globus, having said that we feel this was only equivalent to a Cosmos standard of tour, particularly because of the standard of accommodation and the location of many hotels. The Archway Inn in Moab was particularly rundown, ...read more dark and below even Cosmos standard, we had breakfast on paper plates! The sheets on the bed looked used and were torn. The location of this and 2 other hotels requires shuttle to get into town to eating establishments. We had expected to be accommodated in central location when available e.g. Rustic Inn at Jackson Hole and Archway Inn Moab. Maswik North Lodge at the Grand Canyon took a 45min shuttle to dinner and breakfast.

Global Journeys did inform us that all hotels may not be up to Globus standard and this was the case, expected in the national parks but not okay for towns with better accommodation available - Moab and Jackson Hole. Itinerary - needs at least an extra night in Denver and Salt Lake City - free days to explore.
Having listed the above improvements, generally the scenery was excellent, the accommodation was the only blot on an otherwise most enjoyable tour.

Great tour to see America's National Parks. The coach broke down in Moab - miles from another town and we had to wait for hours for another coach, but this was the only hitch on an otherwise fabulous tour. Some long driving days but necessary to get to so many places. Would recommend this tour if you are interested in wildlife and the wild west.

This was a very good tour which covered a lot of excellent destinations. It was however very demanding and tiring and potential participants should be aware of this. Globus does rate it as 'on the go' and it certainly is. There is only one 2-night stay in 15 days. The average age of the participants would have been in the 60's and we were all very tired ...read more at the end but it was worth it. One complaint- with 45 people on board why have a 1-door bus? Loading and unloading seemed to take forever.

The trip was well worth taking. The scenery was beautiful and we felt we saw a lot Moore than we would have had we done the trip by ourselves. The Tour guide had a lot of local knowledge which gave a better understanding of the areas we visited. We highly recommend this trip.

Wonderful scenery, which changed daily. Good driver and our cheerful tour guide kept us well informed. The coach was kept clean but many faulty seat belts. Plenty of comfort stops. We highly recommend this tour to other travellers. The dates of our tour, late May, proved perfect, just before the large crowds with the American summer holidays.
