On the Road
Emotions a 16:9
(Translated by Google) Hello
We have just returned from an unforgettable trip to the American parks. Western scenery (we have just seen John Ford's prisoner of the desert, immensity of the landscapes, a culture shock when entering the Navajo Indian reservation.
We took full eyes.
Only note to take into consideration, Russian roulette for pitches in campsites. We met again twice with a pitch in full sun, and the motorhome of the company; Apollo who was very fair in cleanliness; in addition to the very superficial information given by their representative despite my English level very correct. two factors that you have no control over, I agree. On the other hand, a more detailed sheet on the subtleties of the motorhome (driving, electricity, drainage of the water circuits) would have been useful. welcome.
Finally, the roadbook was very well done, the vouchers in particular, with a remark on the clarity of the road book. the number of days to; go to campsites. we almost left a campsite when we had 2 nights at; pass while the roadbook mentioned it very discreetly, yet I peeled it. in detail. Travel times are underestimated, add at least 1 hour more because the time corresponds to that of a car and not of a camping car.
Last word, Charlotte our advisor has always been helpful. available and responsive. everything has been perfect, Many thanks to; she.
Cordially

very good service with nice surprises
(Translated by Google) very good quality campsites. pay attention to; Williams, the GPS took us in another poor quality campsite where we spent the night...and it was the next day that the campsite noticed; that we were not reserved; to this address.
A very nice trip
Overall satisfied despite a few mishaps along the way and consistent with; road trip spirit
(Translated by Google) Good organization of the circuit (11 days) with many superb sites to discover; discover but many hours spent on the road (arrival in the camps at the beginning of AM except the first 2 days).
May be possible to reduce a day to Las Vegas for another stop.
Very well done roadbook, easy to read. follow
(Translated by Google) Charlotte followed all our requests, everything was perfectly organized, no problem. the road book is very easy to read. follow and well done. Only complaint, 2 campsites very (too) close to the ring road and therefore very noisy. We were looking for a calm and natural holiday, we would have preferred a simpler but quieter small campsite.
Fantastic trip
Excellent week with good choice of accommodation
(Translated by Google) I am very happy with my rentals (RV, camping, hotels, except for the car, but Authentic has nothing to do with it).
Very good choice in all of the accommodations.
The chosen RV, a C19, was sufficient for a couple with an 11-year-old daughter.
Exceptional and grandiose adventure
(Translated by Google) Words are indescribable to describe the national parks which are absolutely beautiful.
Time is always too short to every place where we would like to stay a few more days....
The side a little more "adventure" with the motorhome, it was great; the whole family enjoyed it and this trip will remain unforgettable for all of us.
a very well organized trip.
Unforgettable
(Translated by Google) Trip very clearly superior to expectations (which were however high), nothing to complain about. repeat.
Superb trip that will remain engraved; in our memories!!!
Every day a new painting
vastness and beauty landscapes
(Translated by Google) Fabulous Zyon because our campground was on the edge of the virgin river and therefore after the hikes (superb). We took advantage of from the river for swimming.
Monument valley the superb western landscape
a little less liked Las Vegas, half a day is sufficient.
If you are traveling 4th of July weekend. Attention Yosemite is completely blocked....we would have liked sometimes be more in the campgrounds of the parks.

Lots of wonderful memories!
Eyeful !!!!!!
(Translated by Google) We have just experienced an exceptional trip: the great parks of the American West with their grandiose and varied landscapes (Grand Canyon sublime, Bryce Canyon surprising, Zion original, Yosemite magnificent), San-Francisco (a superb city) , the pacific coast at see.
But also and above all, impeccable organisation: choice of campsites and hotels, suggested outings, complete and very detailed road-book, motorhome and car rental services without any problems.
In short, your agency provided a very high-end service!!!
Thanks again
Jean-Luc and Maïté STOECKLIN

(Translated by Google) We really enjoyed it. the flawless organization, everything was perfect and consistent with; everything that Michèle Boucher had presented to me.
This is the geographical location of the Hotel Cova in; San Franscico which we liked less. The hotel itself was perfect, but the neighborhood is inhabited. by the homeless and you have to cross sinister streets (without real danger).
[...]
(Translated by Google) Places to visit, length of stay well chosen and adapted to your needs. our wishes. Very complete road book. Suggestions of very relevant options (alternative routes, activities). Well-chosen campsites on the whole (except Monument Vallée).
RV traffic in Los Angeles. To limit as much as possible. In our case, crossing the city to go to Malibu (coming from Kingman). Or at to do outside the hours of hiring or leaving the office.
[...]
(Translated by Google) Possibility to adapt his trip. Full service (camping car, reservation of campsites and activities, etc.) Very warm welcome and service provided by the Navajo guide for the activity. Monument Valley in 4*4. Friendly and interesting guide for the tour. foot to foot SF.
Some malfunctions at; note in particular with hotel reservations: Hotel Sheraton Universal: there had been an error in the reservation date (from the Sheraton a priori) so we did not have the rooms provided. We spent the first night at 3 in a double room (2 adults and a child) without having had an extra bed which we only got at the moment. from the second night). Hotel King George at; San Fransisco: the also problem of reservation, during the check in we were given the keys; for a double room and a room with 2 single beds for 6 people! In the end we got 2 double rooms each with an extra bed. In both cases, however, we paid; to have rooms with real beds and not "extra-beds"! a long time to advance. Hotel reservations therefore deserve to be better managed!
For the Overflight of the grand canyon by helicopter, when you enter the address indicated on the road book (which is the same as on Papillon's small leaflet) you find yourself at; the airport of Williams AZ located to 45 minutes from the planned location and the GPS only knows this one by default (same address and same postal code)! There was no one there. this place was what we call a great moment of stress and loneliness! Everything ended up being okay after phoning. to Papillon but it would be good to clearly specify on the road book that you have to go to; Tusayan (without entering the address of the airport) on the GPS), you can't miss the heliport anyway when you arrive, it's on the side of the road. It would be good for Papillon to specify this so clearly on its paper leaflet.
The Yosemite Lake campground needs a good refresh and it is a little too far from the center of the park (1 hour)
We would like to thank the Navajo guide & agrave; Monument Valley (I can't remember his first name, but I have a photo if needed!) from Simson's Thailhanders Tours for his very friendly and warm welcome. He gets involved in his performance (played the flute for us, had a member of the group participate with a tambourine, sang a Navajo melody, showed us typical places and people (An Indian woman weaving wool in a mud hut in the middle of nowhere in MV, we learned a few words of his language,..) In short, we felt that he did everything with real pleasure.

(Translated by Google) A well-prepared circuit in the USA; which allowed us to fully live unforgettable experiences without any logistical worries.
Some adjustments would be needed in the length of the steps that serve as a link. Stages of 2h to; 4h30 of road is a good compromise between the great American distances at browse and cool holiday rhythm ;)
Thanks to; Myriam Bishop, our Grand Canyon hiking guide. She is very professional and the hike very well prepared and adapted.

(Translated by Google) We really enjoyed it. the organization of the circuit, - the commercial gesture for the guided tour of the city of SF, - Contact with our adviser.
In terms of vehicle support, we were able to; to take it only around 5:30 p.m., except we had informed cruise américa of our arrival at the airport. 12:00 p.m. Well validated with them the pick-up time knowing that the first drop-off point was at; 300 kms.
