Amazing experience
Fly drive for 16 days, covering Yellowstone National Park then a flight to Monterey travelling down the California coast to Santa Barbara, then a drive to Kings Canyon to finish for four days to see the Sequoia Forest and Kings Canyon finishing up with the drive to San Jose to see the Winchester Mystery House before flying home from San Fransisco.

Fly drive for 16 days, covering Yellowstone National Park then a flight to Monterey travelling down the California coast to Santa Barbara, then a drive to Kings Canyon to finish for four days to see the Sequoia Forest and Kings Canyon finishing up with the drive to San Jose to see the Winchester Mystery House before flying home from San Fransisco. A whistlestop tour spending two days in each resort. Lucky enough to see Brown Bears twice within shouting distance, a black bear, wolves in the distance. Bison up close and personal as he walked past our car, Bald eagle and lots of turkey vultures. We were VERY lucky to say the least. The mammoth hot springs in Yellowstone were mind blowing as well as the geysers and Old Faithful. Carmel was a beautiful calm place to visit as was Santa Barbara. All in all a perfectly balanced holiday - just not long enough.
Rating for tour operator:We booked through Travellers World in Salisbury who in turn booked the holiday through Vacations to America. Both were very helpful and informative.

Rating for tour operator:Vacations to America arranged air travel, hotels and hire car. Very efficient
Wonderful Holiday
2 week self drive tour of Utah and Arizona. We spent 2 nights in Las Vegas then toured some of the National Parks - Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyon Lands , Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. We did stayed in a mix of lodges and hotels, some in within the National Parks. Scenery was stunning, accommodation was very good.

Rating for tour operator:Tour operator was Vacations to America. Have used the company to travel to USA 3 times before. Always easy to plan routes and get quotes. Good advice/guidance on destinations which help in choosing where to stay. Good response from company when calling/emailing. Paperwork always arrive on time and travel documentation is well presented in a booklet form (contain good driving instructions).No problems have been encountered in USA - car hire, hotels, upgrades have all gone smoothly.

Wonderful RV holidays
We hired an RV for 3 weeks. Our trip started in San Francisco, via the National Parks (Yosemite, Sequoia Park, Death Valley), Las Vegas, Zion Park, Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon and finished in Los Angeles. We enjoyed it very much! Although we stayed in hotels at the beginning and end of our trip, we would recommend hiring an RV: no packing and unpacking suitcases every night, easy to drive, great fun as a family! ...

Rating for tour operator:Great help and advise from our tour operator, Carrick Travel in the UK. We enjoyed the activities that were booked and the hotels were really good! Especially The Garland in Los Angeles!
Unforgettable Road Trip to Some of the Great National Parks of America's West
After spending time staying with friends in Colorado Springs we spent 14 days on a road road trip visiting a selection of the great National Parks in Colorado, Arizona and Utah including Sand Dunes, Mesa Verde, Monument Valley, Zion,Arches and Black Canyon. However the standout for us was Bryce Canyon. We particulary enjoyed our stays at Antlers on the Creek in Durango and Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab.

Rating for tour operator:Overall we thought they were very good. Planning and booking with the capable assistance of Emma at Vacations to America was straight forward and car hire and accomodation arrangements all worked well. The recomended accomodation was exclent throughout. The one area where we felt a little disappointed in was that the "directions" given for each leg of our journey were vague in the extreme. This was in direct contrast to our experience with the same company two years ago where the "directions" had been specifically tailored to our itineary and therefore we felt much more helpful
Excellent holiday.
To use local parlance this holiday was awesome! The accommodation was good and the scenery magnificent in the Utah national parks.

Rating for tour operator:A seemless well planned holiday that covered all we wanted to do. There were no issues and nothing to complain about. Excellent service
