Great holiday, well planned and extremely enjoyable. Would strongly recommend it.
The holiday was great. Well organised and everything worked smoothly
Excellent tour. Great breadth of experience. Well organised. Good city tours. We were given time on our own to explore different cities.
Wonderful trip - loved every minute of it! So well organised and great variety of places we visited. I would highly recommend this tour.
Good itinerary - went to right places and enough time in each. All hotels very good. The rail journey cabins are a little cramped but there's nothing you can do about that (no alternative carrier?). Everything around tour was well organised and tour manager did a very good job
Found all the arrangements to be well done leaving us to enjoy the whole experience.
very well organised and great value for money.tour guide Chris was fab,didnt intrude too much but told us what we needed to know.hotels very good quality,loved not having to deal with our suitcases and all the coach drivers we had were really good,especially Tom who took us up and down the mountain in the snow safe and sound.Denver and thd Rockies were disappointing,would have liked to have stayed jn Chicagoi longer instead.hated the sleeper compartment, would have preferred to have slept in a normal seat,they were far comfier but apart from that, everything else was amazing,would definately travel with you again and recommend you.
First time we had taken an organised tour - wonderful, didn't have to worry about a thing. Perfect mix of organised itinerary and free time.

There's nothing which quite imbues us with existentialist wonder as an ancient monument from a lost civilisation.

We all know that Yellowstone has an incredible amount of natural beauty. Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone Lake, and the Lamar Valley are just a few of the awe-inspiring sights created and controlled entirely by nature.

Fabulous and so well organised. Every day was great and we like that there is thought given to including enough free time in each place. We like Great Rail Journeys very much having done two this year! We had Peter as our Tour Manager and he looked after us all brilliantly! He certainly made all the travel very smooth and easy. Thanks go to him. Great area to enjoy. Thoroughly recommended.
