This was my first trip through Trafalgar and I really enjoyed it. The trip carried us through three states and at times felt a bit fast paced but we were able to see much more compared to driving ourselves. I have already recommended Trafalgar to my friends and family.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled.
(Even when we got lost)
The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative.
Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities.
Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.

Sedona: Take the scenic route down into the serene, artistic town of Sedona to take in the surrounding red rock and pine forests.

Finally, create your own clay pot or sculpture using either ancient or modern tools, which you can take home as a keepsake.

Grand Canyon National Park: Meet Canyon Dave, who shares fascinating stories about this extraordinary feat of nature and its development over the past 40 million years.
Page: Behold the majestic beauty of Horseshoe Bend, where the mighty Colorado River gracefully curves through the heart of the desert landscape, creating a breath-taking natural spectacle that must be seen to be believed. The hike to Horseshoe Bend is approximately 0.75 miles (1.2 kilometres) one way, making it a total round-trip distance of about 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometres). The trail is relatively easy and well-maintained, suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. It typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes to hike from the parking area to the overlook, where you'll be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the bend and the surrounding landscape.
Zion National Park: Unlock geological history as you walk the paths and trails of Zion National Park, following in the footsteps of Native Americans and the earliest pioneers. The lush vegetation, wild rivers, roaring waterfalls and towering cliffs of this park will have you reaching for your camera over and over again.
Bryce Canyon National Park: Hello, hoodoos. As you arrive at Bryce Canyon National Park, enjoy seeing the pink, orange and rusty-red limestone spires, known as hoodoos, rise up from the valley floor. Explore the visitor center to learn more about the history and geology of the park before a scenic drive along Bryce Canyon Road with possible stops at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point and Inspiration Point. You’ll love seeing how Bryce Canyon, home to the largest collection of these spires in the world, is in a league of its own.
Grand Canyon: Step into a bygone era at refurbished Grand Canyon Railway Hotel which was built to serve passengers on the Santa Fe Railroad in 1908. Next door to the train depot and just a block away from downtown Williams and historic Route 66, you’re in the ideal spot to make the most of the Grand Canyon. Tempt yourself with dining options at the Fred Harvey Restaurant and Spenser’s Pub or relax in the indoor pool and hot tub.
