USA Tours in April 2027

Good tour with lots of information. Was a bit packed to get all things seen in time allotted and we were definitely tired by end. Great driver showed knowledge and patience with construction and crazy traffic (cars, bicycles, pedestrians). Due to all the construction happening prior to 250 yrs celebration July 4th did not get to see all monuments up close but went to alternative sites which you might visit on your own.

Guides were all good! Would liked to have had more time at Pearl Harbor. Pace of the trip was good. Got a good overview of Hawaii, met some very lovely people. It was relaxing. We loved the family feel. Met some very lovely people that we hope to travel with again sometime. Cannot say enough about Harry, our guide. Always in a good mood, always accessible. Very personable. They can’t control the weather unfortunately. Pearl Harbor should be a full day trip. We appreciated all the staff at all the hotels.

I like the idea of not having to worry about our luggage’s and the meals are taken care of. We also had time to our selves and Harry to guide us if needed.

I was traveling alone and as soon as our group met for dinner, I’m at wonderful people. From that moment onto the end of the group, I was never alone. We traveled together, laughed together, ate together and so amazing sites.

My wife and I always wanted to see the Grand Canyon, and not being great travel planners, we chose Collette’s Canyon Country tour. It was fantastic being able to see some of the amazing national parks without the stress of trying to arrange hotels, park entry fees and parking. We had easier access to the parks than all the long line of cars waiting to get in. My favorite part of the tour was the Grand Canyon, both the view from south rim, and the Horseshoe Bend river raft trip. Around every bend of the raft trip was a new and beautiful view of the canyon walls towering over us. Our next park was Bryce Canyon which was otherworldly! It’s got to be seen to believe. That was followed by Zion National park. The entrance to Zion after going through the tunnel was breathtaking! Everywhere you looked was a different beautiful view. When we purchased the tour package, we bought the flights through Collette which was so easy. We also added a driver to take us to the airport, and one to take us home at the end of the trip. Collette kept in touch with us by email at certain times to remind us of things we needed to do the get ready. Many of our meals were included in the package and some were left open for us to choose where we wanted to eat. The food was consistently good! Our tour manager, Heather Larsen was amazing! She had things running smoothly from day one. Her knowledge of the history of the places we saw on the tour was impressive! During the coach rides, she would tell us about the people and history of where we’re to be that day. She would tie in world and national history with how it affected each area. It gave us such a deeper understanding of what we would see. And it made the coach rides really fly by! Our coach driver Glen was a very good driver and always helpful with whatever neede to be done. He and Heather were a great team and made the rides a lot of fun. We we’re amazed at all we got in the Collette Tour package. The total cost of the tour for both myself and my wife was around $8K which included flights and drivers to and from the airports, many meals, all hotels, park entry fees, and special excursions. Tipping was included in many parts of the tour, but tipping is a very important part of the tour manager’s and driver’s income. And Heather and Glen really earned it!

I loved everything we saw but I loved Bryce the most because I loved the hoodoos, so beautiful! I also really enjoyed the raft trip down the smooth section of the Colorado River. To be in a raft and to see the majestic rock walls rising up near us was amazing! The raft guide knew so much and added to the details of the area. Our guide even recited a poem!
