The Claritan Hotel and...

The Claritan Hotel and the hotel out on the road was not good. The hotels for the other nights were very good.

We enjoyed this trip very much. Had fun making new friends and learning more about the North Western states and different cultur

Jason is an excellent tour guide and bus driver. He made sure we were taken care of and understood all events. He took great care to make sure our two cultures coexisted!

Better than expected.

Rest up before you go. Lots of great sights and bus ride. Modest accommodations but all clean. Our guide put great effort to share with we three English speaking while informing the 20 in Mandarin. Chris the guide and Jay our driver get A+. The reason for the trip was the sights that were A++. Even the massive countryside as Jay had us on the most timely route but not very much boring interstate.

Excellent tour well worth the cost

Excellent tour on a nice, comfortable bus. The tour guide, Rebecca, was very knowledgeable and spoke two languages throughout the tour. The tour has shown us incredible sights in many states (UT, MT, ID, WY, SD). The bus drivers have driven very long distances, which would have been a very tiresome trip if I were doing the same trip with a rental car. We stayed at 4 hotels, all moderate-rated hotels, Inns, and motels. Restaurants are close to the places where we stayed. Rebecca has recommended decent places with good food and prices (overall prices are generally cheaper compared to the Northeast coast). We got to see Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, etc. I strongly recommend this trip if you want to go to places that are hard to get to. Worry-free, good tour.
