Denver Tours in July 2026

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.

I have already recommended this tour to my cousin who has now booked it for her and her husband. Going in the fall Each park was so different that it is hard to pick a favorite. The sights weee amazing.

The planned lunch stops were outstanding little towns and views! Plenty of comfort stops and clean enough. Even the pit toilets were pretty ok! Heather always checked in with individuals if she was proposing any change in the traveling time( like push through another 30 minutes or earlier lunch and have more time at a view). Heather and Glen were a great team and the talking history she gave was A+. The afternoon was “nap time “ for many folks and Heather was very considerate of those snoozing even gently beginning to talk and waken them.

The tour provides a good balance between the tour agenda and free time. My main reason for choosing this tour was the Arches at Moab. Absolutely stunning! Our Tour Director lived close to Bryce Canyon and had worked in the forest service. His knowledge and insight was valuable information thru out the tour. ,

Loved it all! Amazed by all the natural & amazing beauty at every turn….. Our favorite stay & stop was in Springdale by Zion state park. But Bryce was soo beautiful it deserves a “ hats off” mention as well. Absolutely loved all the small unexpected stops in between, too. ALL so awesome, beautiful and so breathtaking. Our guide Curtis did not steer us wrong at all. A memorable trip I will never forget!!!

No free water on coach. A charge of a dollar a bottle though minimal, was a turn off as we were told to hydrate as much as possible. On other tours we have taken with Trafalgar in Italy, Collete, Caravan and AAA Tours, you were always given water
