The city entrance fees and overnight taxes were collected up front, and the guide and driver service fee was paid separately on the road. It was all spelled out in the itinerary, so nothing caught me off guard.
On the way back we walked up onto the pedestrian bridge by Hoover Dam. The wind was strong, so I looked down at the dam and the river for a bit and then headed back.
I travelled along with my family for the 2N3D trip. Judy Zhang was our tour guide. She managed the tour quite well with good time management, ensuring the tickets for each sightseeing attraction was kept ready to save time & enough time was provided to the group at each attraction. We had short breaks after every 2.5 - 3 hours of travel. The hotel room accomodation were of good quality closer to the super markets/food courts. We were able to cover multiple places within 3 days and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I would reccommend this tour to my friends. One area of improvement - to improve the leg space between the seats on the bus, considering the long travel distance between the cities.
Seven days connecting southern France and Barcelona, moving to a new place every day with scenic drives along the way—the pace wasn't slow, but it worked. My favorites were the Palais des Papes and Pont Saint-Benezet in Avignon, and Sagrada Familia in Barcelona; Gaudí's architecture really left an impression. Breakfast was included, lunches and dinners were on our own, which felt reasonable overall.
In Old Montreal we had some free time, so I wandered around Chinatown on my own and walked over to see Notre-Dame Basilica from the outside. Being without the guide actually felt more relaxed, since I could stop whenever I wanted.
The area around Bright Angel Lodge opens up beautifully, and I stood there a while—windy but pleasant. I also checked the 3D relief map at the visitor center, which helped me picture the whole canyon, and I liked that part.
The last day was mostly on the bus, and I glanced at the scenery passing through Albany. The ride back felt more tiring than the way there, probably because I was already worn out from the days before.
It was meticulously planned, we visited all the places but the we need to make sure we are on time else the driver and guide gets upset. They club with many others. We had a 5 day package, few had 3 and others 4, so it was like everyday you meet someone new and based on people the vehicle also gets changed. Hotels were all decent, they stopped at plaza's where there are multiple options to eat. Amount was as shown, nothing extra. I would recommend but request to make sure to keep up the time, and would be great if the vehicles are more better.
