Customer Reviews
Covered lot of area but really not a lot to do at Sequoia or Death Valley. The lodging at Yosemite was really sub standard as was the food available there. The stop at Manzanar was great. Tour was well planned with adequate stops along the way.
I loved visiting the parks but could have done without ants in my room at Yosemite. Air conditioning at the hotels in Yosemite and Sequoia would have been welcome. Spending a bit less time on the bus would also be good. On the plus side, the tour director and the driver were a good team. I have mobility issues and they went above and beyond to help me. The other members of the tour group were all very nice and also helped me.
Liked the itinerary. Only suggestion is that Trafalgar rearrange the schedule so that attendees are in Sequoia during the weekend. In Sequoia, the park shuttles only run on holidays and weekends.
Mold at hotel in Yosemite bathroom. LA visit only lasted an hour.
