USA Explorer Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Explorer USA tours
Anonymous | Traveled in October
We enjoyed the variety in the national parks, and the itinerary offered a good mix of motorcoach travel and experiences. The comfort stops were often at historic sites. And, our Tour Director was outstanding.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
The sites covered were all remarkable in different ways. Travel time between sites was reasonable and the trips included enough comfort stops to let yes stretch our legs. The overnight stays were in good locations, convenient to the sites, and each place had breakfast available. rooms were comfortable. Travel director and driver were superb. I would have loved to have had a chance to take a ranger guided tour up close to Pueblo sites at Mesa Verde.
Gloria B. | Traveled in October
We loved beginning with the five Utah parks and then moving on to end at the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon was such a highlight of this trip (we can't imagine doing this itinerary in reverse). We did an airplane ride at the Grand Canyon which felt like a wonderful finale to this trip.
Donald J. | Traveled in October
Leave the driving to Insight Vacations while you enjoy the beauty and grandeur of our Western National Parks. Zion, Bryce and the Navajo Nation were my favorite area to visit. Insight ensures that the coach is spacious and comfortable and overnight accommodations are too. Our trip exceeded our expectations.

Itinerary is full - minimal down time. Participants should be prepared for high activity level. Trip did fulfill/accomplish all sites promised. (Lodging at Grand Canyon Lodge was disappointing-broken light in room, tv no or minimal reception due to outdated technology, very worn carpet & rooms were not within walking distance of meal area. Suggest those planning & scheduling accommodations should know properties in order to prepare guests to fact they are not on par with usual Insight stays.) Tour Director Jason Cohen made trip Aone!
