I have booked on to the September trip and am begining to really look forward to it. As, for me,it is a trip of a lifetime i would like to make the most of the extra optional excursions. Is there a costed list on the site? Or if not please could you supply the deails and charges. Also, do you have to book all of them in advance? Is it posible to know if others are going too?

Many Thanks

Binoculars are supplied for each boat along with snacks and juice, with baked goods coming fresh from the Jackson Hole Bakery, a local favourite.

I'm also on this tour leaving on 9 Sept and the excursions sound amazing! I presume we can pay for the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley flights either before we go or by credit card when there? Someone said that helicopters don't fly to the bottom of the Grand Canyon any more, rather just fly above it - is that true? Just curious, as I did the three in one Grand Canyon trip on America's Golden West two years ago (helicopter, boat ride and bus trip) and would prefer just a heli ride over the canyon this time anyhow.

Cheers,

Bob

I trust you are well; to date there are 33 fellow travellers with just 6 places remaining, the tour has been cleared to operate 🙂

Kindest,

Ben

Many thanks,

Bob

PS did you see my post about paying for the Grand Canyon/Monument Valley flights by credit card in resort or alternatively before we go?

Same question but for the Manchester departure on 23rd sept, whats the numbers so far ?

Mick

I hope you're well; to date there are 12 fellow travellers,

Kindest,

Ben

Apologies for the delay in replying; you are able to book that particular excursion in resort and would need to pay for it with cash. Alternatively, you can pre book it via our contact centre, in which case, you could use a debit or credit card,

I hope that helps,

Kindest,

Ben

Cheers,

Bob
