#smartours SW National Parks Tour was set up perfectly. The Hotels, parks and overall itinerary went beyond my expectations. I was somewhat expecting a lot of sightseeing, but Smartours exceeded my expectations. The Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and maintained great communication during the entire trip.
Merilynn R
Excellent tour guide - Jerry Perkins - was amazing and made our wonderful trip even more fantastic. His knowledge, professionalism, personality, and expertise in any situation was incredible. The itinerary was great and gave us so many wonderful park experiences. Our bus driver was also very good, especially on the curving and switchback roads going to the various national parks.
Ronald N
The trip overall was good although I think I would add a couple of days to the trip staying longer at individual stops by Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon.
Sharon M
Great tour of National Parks, some familiar, some never-before-seen. It's my first bus tour, so I have nothing with which to compare, but I can't imagine anything being better.
Fred a
Trip was fantastic. We had visited several of the parks in prior years on our own....There was so much to learn and see that we missed previously. Highly recommend this trip
Joyce B
Smartours is a tremendous value for the price. We went to exactly the places I wanted to see and the planning was very intuitive. We really liked the small size of the group and were able to know everyone's name within a day or so. The guide and bus driver were exceptionally well prepared and added to the overall experience in a very positive way.
Dee
Just returned from this tour. It was fabulous. Lots of parks included and much learned! Our guide Stacey and driver Joe were both amazing, kind and knowledgable. Would have preferred extra day in Zion and Bryce to allow for full hikes to Narrows and to canyon floor, respectively. Also wish there was an optional horseback ride in Monument Valley. Saw so many interesting out of the way places like old Route 66 and Glen Canyon dam. Great trip!
