      This was a really fast paced itinerary, but this is exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to see as much as we could of the national parks, the wild west and whatever else Tours of Distinction could show us along the way and Loretta lead the way with a smile. Every day was as awesome adventure but Antelope Canyon and the jeep tour in Moab were my favorites. Accommodations were comfortable and the food was great. This was our first tour on a bus. The bus was first class, new and clean and the bus driver, Erica kept us safe and on time with a raised eyebrow and a smile. We enjoyed the company and friendship of every guest. Thank you Loretta and Tours of Distinction for such a wonderful vacation! Bev K. Englewood Florida.

      WOW! I got excited when I read the itinerary? But it was even More than I expected! I wish we cud have spent more time in each place but there was SO many places to explore? I have been in Utah Parks but none of the was a Repeat? Our guide Loretta was very busy but kept it all on Track! I had a great time with fun group of people! Already looking at future trips like Iceland and or Yellowstone?

      Excellent, comfortable bus and good hotels throughout the trip. We saw everything we’d hoped to see and more. The driver and guide were both good, however there seemed to be some glitches in communication between the main office and tour participants. Also, although our guide was hard working, cheerful and efficient, and made sure we got through the itinerary, I would have appreciated an additional guide with knowledge of the history and geology of the region.

      We had a wonderful time. Bus was comfortable and driver was awesome. Activities were a great experience. Unfortunately we felt things were not well organized by the tour company. Not receiving any details until two weeks before the trip was unsettling. The reception included no food or drinks although it was included under food.

      Thank you sharing your feedback Rose. We are glad to hear you had a wonderful time. Our had advised trip documents do not go out until about 3 weeks prior to departure. Sorry if you feel this may be a little too soon. The Welcome Reception should not have been listed under food. We have had that updated to reflect the inclusions on the trip accordingly. Thank you for letting us know.

      We saw amazing sights and the people on the trip were friendly and accommodating. There were some things on the itinerary that didn’t happen, including no baggage handling at two of the six hotels, no jet boat ride, no 4x4 tour of the Canyonlands and no stop at Arches Visitor Center, plus no winery visit. We saw Canyonlands National Park from a distance but never went in. The 4x4 Jeep ride of the salt flats outside Moab was amazing but no where near Canyonlands. The lack of communication pre-trip was concerning and created confusion in planning flights home and where to meet the group in Vegas. The tour facilitator had some difficulty with the time changes and shared little about what was going to happen each day.
