Great tour and company
This was an exceptional trip thanks to the tour guide, Drew and our bus driver Kasey. The only issue we had was with Circus, Circus - I would strongly urge you to remove that hotel from your itinerary - most would not mind paying, perhaps an additional 60-80 dollars to stay in a cleaner hotel
This 13 day tour was wonderful but just a bit long. 10 days would be just about right. Most accommodations we're very nice but a few we're so 50s and 60s. I like the cost savings but it can be TOO dirt cheap at times.
