Everything lived up to expectations. We were very satisfied with the whole experience.
The accommodations, meals, tours, and the tour director and the driver were all very good. The friendships developed with our fellow travelers from the US, Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia were well worth the experience.
Customer service was good. I booked via Flight Centre but should of just gone direct as had some questions/requests and it would of been easier to deal with Trafalgar directly.
Our guide was very knowledgeable of the areas visited and our driver did an excellent job of getting us to our locations in a timely and safe manner. Loved the itinerary. So much to see and experience. Hotels and all included meals and sightseeing tours were excellent.
All hotels were of a good standard and clean. The tour gave me an insight into places to return to and where once is enough. Totally loved trip and group of people on bus

Active Trip Details
Navigation Close Icon
What is an Active Trip? This is an "Active" lifestyle itinerary, with walks and hikes most days. Hikes will range from easy/moderate to strenuous. No technical climbing skills are required but a reasonable level of fitness is required to make the trip more enjoyable. Understanding that not all people want to hike at the same pace or even on the same trail we will, where possible, host map orientation and then let everyone disperse to enjoy the trails best suited to them.
What to Pack Guests should bring lightweight hiking shoes or boots, broad brimmed sun hats, sunglasses, layered clothing, reusable water bottle(s), a hiking day pack and hiking poles (optional)
Weather & Altitude While the itinerary is laid out below, we are at the mercy of the weather and so reserve the right to adjust the program as necessary. Please keep in mind that the higher elevations and possible variations in weather and temperature can increase the perceived level of difficulty of our activities. Elevation ranges up to 9,000 feet for Utah’s Mighty Five and up to 11,000 feet for California High Country Adventure.
Everyone reacts differently to altitude and so if you do have any health issues you should check with your doctor that this trip is suitable for you.
