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.

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!

Loved seeing the red wood forest! The water falls in Oregon. Really enjoyed seeing the grape vineyards in Northern California. Enjoyed touring Seattle & San Francisco.
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.

Tour was excellent, well organized and first class treatment everywhere we went. Director was personable, knowledgeable and very helpful. This was overall one of the best tours I have been on and the Rocky Mountaineer train started everything off on the right foot.

This was an excellent trip in all respects. We were fortunate to have a cohesive, compatible group and an excellent tour leader. Activities were varied and interesting, including the optional ones. Good weather throughout was a lucky plus for the trip.

The coach, hotels & destinations were all great. The only issue would be to include some form of breakfast every day, even a basic ‘boxed’ breakfast, especially on early start mornings. Eventhough there are multiple stops, a breakfast with a muffin, a savoury item, juice/water & fruit, would ease the pressure on guests to find something nearby, within the time available. I appreciate Costsaver endeavour to minimise costs, but the guests are still having ‘out of pocket expenses’ & trying to find something, with limited time & outlets appropriate to their needs.

Everything about the trip was excellent. The hotels were very comfortable with superb food and service. The sights and venues were interesting with enough time a)lottery to see and enjoy them. The your director was great. She was creative in solving minor glitches. The driver was fantastic guiding the very comfortable but big bus through the narrow New England streets. The patrons were the most congenial group I have ever risen with. Top notch in every aspect.
