    Great, great, great time!

    Decided to take this tour and are we glad we did! Our guide, Chris, was excellent. He worked hard to accommodate the different activity levels of the group. We were educated and entertained all along the way. The rooms and meals were great and I had no problem finding vegetarian items. I am certain that we experienced hikes and parts of the parks that we would have missed without the tour.

    Awesome experience! Haydee, our guide, was excellent! Small size group of 8 worked out great! Lake Powell unexpectedly came on our itinerary as the regular hotel accommodation did not work out, and all happened for the best as the sunset at Lake Powell was lovely! Had a mix of hikes ranging from easy to strenuous, so that everyone in group could enjoy!
