The 15 Best US National Park Tours

200 tours  ·  from $32 a head

American parks are enormous and the distances are the whole problem. These 15 sort the long coach days out of Las Vegas and San Francisco, the small-group runs, and the off-road afternoons at Moab, with prices, pickup points and how much of the day is actually spent in the park.

They were very knowledgeable about the areas that we visited and explained in detail exactly what to expect. They made sure that everyone knew the schedule and did their best to maximize the trip. I would highly recommend this experience and if you get Edward for a guide, be prepared for a very enjoyable experience.”

“The trip itself is very good the itinerary is just right, great stops, very interesting places. Unfortunately the guide was the only thing that let the trip down, he had a terrible attitude and was aggressive with customers. Luckily he was only with us on the bus but his attitude really was bad, he really didn’t like people or his job. It was advertised we would have lots of water available on the long bus ride, when we asked for water he huffed and were given very very warm water, really warm it had been kept under the bus not in a coooler. When we said we couldn’t drink it…”

“Overall, quite a good experience. Brian S is very knowledgeable, and you can tell he is passionate when he explains the movie and the history of the mountains. Interesting experience to look for climbers at El Cap mountain. However just a few things to note: The roads get really winding so do prepare some motion sickness pills ahead of time! Also be prepared for the trip to be 1) mostly getting up and down the bus for photos (except free time 2 hours during lunch), 2) have a tedious trail at the sequoia tree area (note that there’s nothing much to do if you choose not to go on the…”
