      We had a great trip. Paige was a caring and fun tour guide. The new bus was very comfortable and the dining choices were yummy. Thanks for parting the clouds just in time for totality. 😉

      I highly recommend this trip! It was full of fun activities and knowledgeable tour guides at the parks. Our Excite guide was great! She found a fun alternative when snow/cold prohibited a walking tour. We all enjoyed “standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona”. She also took our interests into account as we chocoholics visited a chocolate factory along the way. It was nice to meet the others in our small group and find our commonalities. Accommodations, travel stops and food choices were excellent. I’m looking forward to my next Excite Experience.

      It was wonderful! Loved the ocean view rooms. Luau was fun. Steph was the greatest. My favorite was whale watching cruise with dinner and cocktails.

      This trip was perfect from start to finish. Accommodations were top notch, excursions well thought out, and our guide, Steph, went all out to ensure everything went smoothly as planned. Absolutely dream come true for me
