Perfect itinerary. It covered all of the places I’ve always wanted to see. The driver and tour director did an excellent job. I had a great time. The bus was new and very comfortable, but sounded like an infirmary with people coughing and sneezing. I managed to avoid the spreading respiratory illness until the last day of the tour. Even the tour director got sick. The day I got home I tested positive for COVID, as did other fellow travelers who tested. It was my first ever bout with COVID, and I was out sick for a week. I wish the people who were sick on the bus were encouraged to wear masks, although it would have been hard to avoid, since we often ate together, etc. The irony is that I chose a bus tour rather than a cruise in the hope that fewer people would mean less chance of illness. Still, I’m glad I took the trip (it really was fantastic), but wanted to forewarn others the risks are still out there.

A couple of the hotel (motel) selections were subpar and there could have been better choices made. Otherwise, the trip overall was excellent and our bus driver and travel director were excellent!

I wanted to see the Badlands and was pleasantly surprised by Culter State Park. Mt. Rushmore monuments and the Crazy Horse 'work in progress' were wonderful. We had a nice walk around Mt. Rushmore on the President's Trail. I had previously been to Yellowstone but it was good to return again. The Grand Tetons were just that - GRAND. A nice side trip to see Devil's Tower was unexpected yet most welcome. We saw lots of wildlife, bison, grizzlies, moose and elk. We had several smaller stops like the Bison Center with a very good talk by the manager.

This was a fantastic tour. We got to visit five National Parks, four of which we had not gone to previously. We got to see highlights at each park, but Yellowstone was something special. The variety of wildlife that we saw there was spectacular, including elk, bison, black bear and grizzly bear. The whole trip was memorable.

The Wild West tour was excellent. There were seven members of my family on this trip, ranging from 10 years old to 84 years old, and we all enjoyed the natural wonders, animal sightings, tour guide insights and stories, and activities. There were spectacular scenes on the Snake river, Grand Tetons, and Badlands. The bus was comfortable and the tour guide and driver excellent.
