The American West
(Translated by Google) The circuit was well thought out.
The GPS we provided was completely discharged, as there was no mains power, we were only able to use it 3 or 4 days later, after the have loaded by car and having studied some operation at; stage (instead of having been able to do it more quietly in Las Vegas. Furthermore, in your advice, driving in the USA, include: - information on the opening of the rear doors and the trunk (in our case, a 2nd then a 3rd click of the remote control). Indeed, no information from the lessor when handing over the car on its main controls. - information European CBs do not operate at the pump, it is necessary to prepay at the cash desk, mentioning the number of the pump, then generally by serial number. select the type of fuel at the pump before being able to use it Apart from that, we are satisfied with the good functioning of the car and the ease of circulation in the USA (quality of roads and signage).
We have been very satisfied with the choice and the quality. accommodations. However, we deplore the organization of the breakfast at the Best Western Greenfeld in Moab (moreover good in terms of the room, the swimming pool, the self-service Internet): plastic cutlery as in airplanes, badly reheated and even practically cold hot dishes, the impossibility of to have eggs "as you like" reflecting the absence of a cook. All this under snack services! Note that the Szechuan restaurant, otherwise excellent and inexpensive, is not managed. by the hotel as you mention, which resulted in a misunderstanding with the front desk of the hotel. Finally, information on food and restaurants would be useful in the travel diary. As far as we are concerned, we had previously made the necessary effort to search for information on the Internet.
RAS at the level of activities at; except for an inaccuracy in your roadbook. Contrary to what you indicate the appointment does not take place at; the Platinum Hotel due to the impossibility of for the service provider to park in front of the hotel reception. The meeting takes place in front of the reception of the Hotel Tuscany at; 500 m away.
The travel diary was our big disappointment. In general, I deplore the separation into two parts of the detailed itinerary, which is completely unproductive. For a given day, the traveler must have before their eyes; both tourist advice and route guidelines, including the alternative direct route/tourist route. In addition, the route directives are written in characters that are too small, difficult to read. reading in the car (think of those who don't have a GPS, which was our case for the first 3 or four days. Some of these instructions are completely wrong, such as: 1/ the day of September 23 (LP/MV 278 kms instead of 214, 3:01 instead of 2:21, a directive 11 take left on MV rd completely imaginary, as well as the distances of the final directives 12 and 13 mentioned; es for 10.1 miles instead of 4.6 The route to the Bluff hotel is just as fanciful with directive 2 and 3 purely and simply to be deleted and distances and total durations exaggerated accordingly. 2/ the day of September 24 indicated for 400 Kms instead of 163 and 4h28 instead of 1 hour 44. Thereafter, we no longer consulted the route instructions in the roadbook and able to use the GPS as well as the road maps, on which the r All tourist routes were well signposted. As for the detailed itinerary (sic) you indicate as a "don't miss" the Fiery Furnace hike of the Parc des Arches, without indicating: - That it is a a very difficult hike with very delicate passages. - That the hike must be guided, either by Rangers (when we inquired, the tour was "sold out" until 19/10) or agencies in town. On the day of September 30, I do not see how it would be possible to access Death Valley without taking route 190 ("the best would be to enter via route 190 and go to Dante's View"...) Finally, I quickly go over the miles/kms conversion table completely reversed.
Well laid out circuit, a bit spoiled; by the indigent roadbook and the unloaded GPS; initially provided. Good choice of hotel, especially at Las Vegas and St Georges.

(Translated by Google) Very satisfied. The stages were clearly indicated and the choice of hotels were well chosen and well placed.
The directions for the Tusayan stage weren't very clear and kept us going around in circles for a while. Moreover, it is stated that one kilometer equals 1.6 miles whereas it is the reverse.
All the hotels chosen were well located and well maintained. Reservations had all been cleared. well done.
All activities were well and truly booked. We particularly appreciated our guides both in Los Angeles and San Francisco. We would recommend them to our best friends.
In general, we are very satisfied because we had prepared our trip but I think that travelers would have benefited from some suggestions of sites not to be missed in each of the regions.
We will recommend your agency with pleasure
William Burnet of GoCalifornia acted like a professional and provided us with lots of information about the history and life of San Francisco. He is very concerned about the comfort of his customers.

(Translated by Google) I really liked follow-up by the person in charge of the file. No "bad" surprise = confidence (we left 3 years ago with Authentik Canada!
In terms of transport, a map was missing... but with the GPS... and I had a personal map
At the first campsite, arriving late, the pitch was well reserved, but at the end of the day. note rnom, and I did not pay attention; the location was reserved; in the name of .... Michelle BOUCHER => ça has not been; a problem :)
In terms of activities, we would have liked have more advice on the "possibilities" to see or visit
The notebook could have been a bit more detailed. Very good organization.
Thanks to; our advisor, Michelle Boucher. She has always been severe; in the process, and I appreciated it. Thanks Michelle!

(Translated by Google) THE ORGANIZATION WAS PERFECT. THE CHOICE OF ACCOMMODATION WAS QUALITATIVE.
OF COURSE WE APPRECIATED THE COUNTRY AND WE HAVE INCREDIBLE MEMORIES OF IT.
(Translated by Google) Monument valley at sunset, the view from the room. Availability and the kindness of the advisers, especially since we asked them a lot at the start of the trip because we had some setbacks (delay of luggage in NY, missed connection in Charlotte with the consequence of arriving one day later than late to LV). Thank you also for having warned us of the heavy insistence of the car rental companies to make us subscribe to; RC insurance is said to be essential. Thanks to; this warning, we were able to refuse with aplomb.
I think the GPS should be included in the rental package because if we had just followed the roadbook, we would not always have found it. the hotel, especially at the Grand Canyon.
We have always been pleasantly surprised by the accommodations, especially at monument valley. Only the hotel at Lake Powell was disappointing because it was not charming at all, even if its location was good.
Perhaps it would be necessary to specify where; is the points at visit in relation to; the road and to accommodation, for example, the west hupalai grand canyon is on the road between LV and Palm Spring; so if we had known we would have gone there. before we go to the hotel, the same for Zion which is still very far from St Georges.
We are very satisfied with the organization. Thanks !
