Travel was good, hotels excellent (apart from Niagara, which didn’t detract from the overall experience). Guide was excellent and what we saw was exceptional. Collected by Great Rail Journeys Mr K Kimmey Submitted 21 Nov 2018 Tour manager was one of the best I've ever had. Accommodations were excellent. Enjoyed the total trip. Beautiful scenery great guides at ever tour. Collected by Great Rail Journeys Mrs P Jackson Submitted 31 Oct 2018 Holiday very good it was just a shame about the Australians Collected by Great Rail Journeys Mr J Elliott Submitted 31 Oct 2018 It was very well organised with a wonderful tour manager keeping everything under control which could not be faulted. A very enjoyable but very tiring 19 days. Collected by Great Rail Journeys Mr D Craven Submitted 12 Aug 2017 Organisation was seamless, the only thing that stopped us was a landslide in Yosemite. We really needed the days off because the tour is full on and occasionally we needed to take a breath. It took too long to get to know the other people on the tour and some sort of start up get together could have speeded this up. Maybe consider simple first name badges just to break the ice. Collected by Great Rail Journeys Mrs K Hilder Submitted 20 Jul 2017 Great itinerary, great tour manager, good quality hotels and coaches/ train seating. Would be a five but we had a couple of mix ups with hotel bookings/ rooms.
