Every day was full of activity & adventure with hikes in beautiful forest of ferns and lakes, biking in winding local roads and kayaking in safe waters.. and the whale watch with local experts. Guides surprised us with lovely picnics and provided safe, considerate, fun guidance on all daily activities! Ready for another.
We had a fantastic start in the Tetons , great hikes and beautiful views. We managed to see black bears on one of our hikes. Some surprising dramatic weather whilst we went up the cable car. We were very disappointed to not be able to visit Yellowstone because it was flooded, but our guide Mark Harding more than made up for this with great walks in the Tetons and Glacier Park where we were able to stay another day. We saw grizzly bears and bisson on the reserve. We had a fantastic boat ride and dinner at Coeur D'Alene .All our accomodation was good. My favourite was staying in Glacier park, where Mike, our guide provided us with a fantastic breakfast everyday.
I thoroughly enjoyed my east to west USA tour. Firstly, I can’t thank Alyson (our tour guide) and William (our bus driver) enough. They were punctual, informative and extremely accomodating throughout our whole tour. they really set the mood of everyday and I don’t believe the tour would have been as enjoyable as it was without them. All our accomodation was clean, comfortable and reasonably located for the city we were in. Alyson was extremely knowledgeable about every city and attraction and even provided run downs of what amenities and restaurants were available at every rest stop. This allowed us to make the most of our time wherever and we found ourselves. An extended amount of time in Philadelphia would have been preferred but other than that I couldn’t sing higher praises.
