Trip Reviews (6) Most Recent 'Majesty of the Rockies' Reviews
Our tour guide Nancy and driver Owen were wonderful!
Meals provided were of a very high standard. The extra legroom in the coach was great. Be prepared for some long days with early starts often though to dinner. We were lucky to see both black and grizzly bears. The weather was quite cool for June, glad we were prepared with plenty of warm clothes.
