We have been on 3 Country Travel Discoveries tours. The first two were within our own state of Wisconsin and went to many places we had previously visited, but we found that they take you to places that you wouldn't normally go as individuals. We were so pleased with those 2 trips that we booked Magic of Yellowstone and we were NOT disappointed! It was a great adventure. Our tour director, Caleb, was so passionate about all national parks and consequently he was VERY knowledgeable. Even though we have been to Yellowstone many times in the summer, we learned a lot. Can't say enough good about that trip. So much so, that we have booked a 4th trip with Country Travel and are looking forward to seeing Europe in the fall.
Privileged to have taken two garden tour trips - NYC and Delaware / Pennsylvania. This year, 2024, it will be the Arizona Gardens, and in November the Christmas Markets in Montreal and Quebec - Louise Penny territory.
My tour of the Canadian Rockies was outstanding! Our tour director was beyond excellent and she made a great effort to see that we had an enjoyable and stress-free experience. The itinerary was well-organized and we saw so many beautiful spots. I would travel with Country Travel Discoveries again.
Trips are wonderfully organized, well-planned and executed. I am always amazed at the quality of the hotels, restaurants, sights, coach and general trip overall. They are especially caring of the seniors in timing stops, places to stop, water bottles each day, games on board and intricate details....like being sure there aren't too many steps/stairs to navigate. I am so impressed! The office staff is knowledgeable, caring, patient, kind and want to do a good job. I have recommended the company many times and will continue to do so and travel with them as much as possible!
The tour leader, Jill Whitham, had done a lot of research prior to the tour and added additional info that enhanced my enjoyment of the trip. The train rides, my main reason for taking the tour, were very well organized and very enjoyable. The time spent on the bus was longer than I had anticipated but the driver was excellent. I'm looking forward to planning another trip with your company!
