Great trip with all the highlights included I went on a trip in July 2023 and loved every second of it. We saw 5 bears in Denali, had some great hikes. The group was fun and our guides were amazing and made sure all of our dreams came true. The dinners were so yummy, I loved the grilled salmon but also the curries and pasta dishes we had. The trip felt like traveling with family and I want to go back to see other parts of Alaska's amazing wilderness.
As a girls trip, we had the absolute best experience during our time in Cuba. Our guides and hosts were so wonderful, we had an amazing time on all our excursions and also learned so much along the way. Highly recommend!
The itinerary was very well-balanced, including a combination of various sightseeing and walks. For us, first-time visitors to these parts of the USA, every day brought something new and amazing, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Mike, our guide, is a consummate professional – he ensured everything went like clockwork and without doubts or worries, he gave us all the information we needed, told us in an attractive storytelling manner short historical, geographical, and social narratives, enabling us to understand better the places we saw. His permanent optimism and sense of humor made everything look easy and every minute pleasant and worth remembering. The whole atmosphere was relaxing and as magical as the sites we visited. Thanks! Suggestions for improving the experience: 1. It should be noted that the seats in the van are quite narrow, especially in the last row. There were 11 of us and we fit in the van relatively comfortably. A party of 13 would feel very tight, especially on the longer drives. 2. The best accommodations were in Tonopah and Zion. I understand that there are few other options in most of the locations, but at the price we paid, better motels would have been welcomed. Sorry if I seem a bit picky - all in all, it was a trip to remember, an experience of a lifetime.
