Grand Canyon National Park Tours and Trips

Trafalgar has an awesome itinerary here, but in order to see and do all that we did, the schedule is not for the faint of heart, or anyone looking to have a “rest and relax” kind of vacation. It entails very early mornings, typically 5:45 a.m. every day, in order to have suitcases out the door by 6:30 or 6:45 for loading onto the bus, and a lot of getting on and off the bus for the frequent enough “comfort” stops necessary along with the sightseeing stops. It can be exhausting, especially if there are evening activities that entail late evening arrivals back at the lodging, so my advice is to go into such an adventure knowing that although there is ample “down time” on the bus to rest up in between stops, it takes a fair amount of energy and stamina to keep up with the pace of the activities. Also, because there is a lot crammed into each day, often the stops along the way are hurried a bit more than desired, and one is on a strict time table to adhere to the schedule and not cause any delays. Fortunately, our group was incredibly responsible and considerate of one another, and we never had any issues, but we were on a kind of military time in order to get everything in. Kudos to our Travel Director, though, for keeping us all well informed and reminded often of our time deadlines and for watching out for us so that we didn’t miss any of the sights we were to see or any of the very fun and enjoyable “surprises” he and our wonderful driver, had in store for us almost every day. They were some of the highlights of our trip and well worth looking forward to!!! All in all, it was a fabulous trip, and I would highly recommend it but only with the knowledge going into it that it requires some serious stamina and a sense of willingness to be adventurous, even despite the repeated very, very early mornings day after day which is the effort that this trip requires.

You get up early and it really pays off! So much is put into this itinerary. We saw and experienced the most amazing, beautiful sites our country has to offer. Thank you and !!

Scenic Parks Explorer is an amazing tour. So much wildlife and so many beautiful landscapes to discover. Very full on and busy experience but it really has to be to fit in so many amazing sights. Our tour guide was just the best. Always positive and keen to make things happen if at all possible.

The team ( travel director) and ( ) driver really knew their stuff and found us great spots for viewing the natural spendor and did a great job of animal sightings along the way. The trip itinerary was fantastic. The mix of information shared, locations visited, etc was more than I expected. Best trip ever!

The itinerary was absolutely amazing, and gave us the opportunity to see so much in our travels! Our tour director, along w/ driver , did everything to make our trip the most awesome & best vacation ever!!

If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, this is not the trip for you! 8 National parks in 2 weeks! The tour was fast paced and covered a lot! Each National Park was beautiful and all were so different. Our tour guide was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. Our driver was excellent. We started each day around 8 am and were at the hotel by around 4. There were some days that had long bus rides but we stopped every 2 hours for restroom breaks and snacks. The destinations were worth it! All the hotels were clean and comfortable. Very happy we took this trip!
