Utah trip
We had hoped to be taking a Tauck trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons,
having decided late ,were on a wait list that never happened.
Went on line and found a company
Utah Luxury Tours , who doing small group tours looked interesting.
Read the reviews, all excellent, seemed to suit our requirements .
Took the plunge and called , being greeted by the friendly informative voice of Misty. Answered all my questions and concerns settling on a tour of the big five parks .
Over the next few days booked and paid .
Never before have I booked and payed money to an unrecommended tour company !
I did on this occasion being really pleased to have done so , for our trip turned out to be , so much better than we could have expected , fellow Travellers were lovely people , tour guide was certainly the most helpful, obliging and knowledgeable that we have ever encountered .
Scenery of the five Utah parks ,each very different ,was beyond spectacular , by the second park had run out of descriptive superlative adjectives .
Danial , our guide , not only described the scenery , geology and modern history of each area but educated us into the culture of the early habitants of each location by taking us to view pictographs carved into rock faces that were thought ,some were up to 6000 years old !He even found really tasty lunch stops .
On our last couple of hours in Zion National park, our last tour place ,Danial ,took us on a short trek in a dried up river bed ,to a set of pictographs that are not in any guide book .
An amazing way to finish a spectacular tour with
Utah luxury Tours .
On returning checked out a Tauck iteniary that encompassed the same parks . Mentioned nothing of the early peoples and seemed pretty boring compared with Danial’s 10 hours or so with his charges !
For tours of the West in future it will be
Utah Luxury tours .
