I have found out that there are 33 people now booked on this tour, but except for us 3 no one else has posted a message.

If any of our fellow passengers read this, get in touch.

Our tour manager is Ann Murray.

Hi Julia and Robin,

I have had notification today that the Hotel in Los Angeles has been changed and that I will be in the Custom Hotel.

Have either of you been notified or is it just me as I only booked about 10 days ago.

I did the pre bookable package when I booked the hol. There were 3 excursions - Palm Springs, Aerial Tramway and the Rat Pack. I would also like to do either the San Francisco harbour cruise or the helicopter flight. Also I want to see the Grand Canyon, but there seems to be a few options for this one and whether to wait and speak to the tour manager to see what is best. ~Did you get the option when you booked to do the discounted package?

Hi guys I am just back last week from Golden West tour, It was amazing, really good. The San Francisco Harbour cruise is worth doing and you may also get chance of going to Alcatraz, ask your tour guide. The Grand Canyon was Awesome!! A lot of us did the ultimate tour, Fly, helicopter down into the canyon and boat trip, it was well worth it. Hope you have a great time, I did!

Hi Carol,

Thanks for getting in touch. It is nice to hear from someone who has recently been. The Grand Canyon Tour really does seem fantastic. Was it very expensive, did you book it in advance? I will probably be one of the oldest in the group - is it more for the younger ones? I will certainly do the harbour cruise. Thanks for the tips. Audrey

Hi

All these tips are very useful, thanks. I booked the trip about a year ago now, so maybe I should contact them to see about the prebookable excursions.

Hi Audrey

The Grand anyon trip was really fantastic, got some really great photos & memories, quite a lot in our group did this trip, it is a bit pricey but we all agreed that it was worth it. Don't worry about this trip being for younger ones, there was a real mix of ages in our group and one of the oldest members did this trip and really enjoyed it. You book these trips with the tour manager. I didn't pre-book any of the trips and managed to do most of them. I hope this has been helpful, I'm sure you will have a great time, the places you will visit are awsome!!

Hi Julia,Robin and anyone else on 15 Nov - have you had the tour info in post over the last weekend. I had booked the discounted package when I booked the trip, so I may wait now and book the Grand Canyon through the tour manager. Thinking of the Ultimate one as descibed by Carol. Audrey

Thanks Carol, I think I will go for the Ultimate Grand Canyon Tour. Is it very cold at the bottom of the Canyon. Not sure if I have read somewhere that the temp drops quite a bit. Generally, what was your weather like throughout your tour, ours is going to be 6 weeks later than when you were there. Audrey

Hi Audrey

That's good, go for it! It wasn't cold at all at bottom of the canyon, it is still quite hot, didnt need a cardi. The temperature when we were in Vegas was 110 degrees! The weather in San Francisco can be quite cool, but the further South you go, it gets hotter.
