Great spots during this tour, with friendly and accommodating staff. This is a great your of you want to hit the whole West, just don't expect to stop everywhere in between. My only problem is that they say pickup from hotel, but they called me back and told me to make my way to a hotel that was 32 minutes away because they were picking someone else there That was not the best experience from a tour that includes pickup.

Currently not recommended. Hotel pickup but very long transfer times. Very large tour group with over 50 people. Only one guide, which is insufficient for on-site tours. In addition, the tour was conducted in three languages, leaving little time for details. Phases of a coffee trip (alcohol tasting, ...).
