Extremely comfortable, safe, very clean spotless inside and out and plenty of leg room , I especially liked the seat rotation every day so as everyone had a chance to view the most spectacular scenery.
Accommodation
Very comfortable, very clean, well appointed establishments, some had spectacular views, excellent, after a wonderful busy day just to sit and have a quite drink taking the most beautiful scenery.
Sightseeing
A great deal of thought time and effort are put into the planning of these tours, as every day is so different and just gets better and better, The Scenery is just so wonderful, Magic, Awesome in parts like Niagara Falls, the places we visited were most interesting , some extra, not on the itinerary, was just Magic.

Val was very professional and took special care of each person making sure everyone was comfortable and happy , thus making the tour running smoothly and enjoyed by all. The checking into our Hotels of an evening was done very professionally and smoothly, nothing was a problem to Val. The commentary was excellent, Val's knowledge of the specific areas was just so informative and interesting, Val also played DVD's and music relating to the places we were about to see or had just visited. This made it so much more enjoyable.

Mike is an excellent safe driver, he is most courteous and friendly , he too had very good knowledge of places we visited on our tour. The coach was always very clean, spotless inside and out.

I have done 4 tours with World Discovery Tours, 2 Grand America's, 2 Alaska and the Yukon. We saw some spectacular scenery and most interesting places, each day was different, exciting, some places were not on the itinerary which was a great bonus. I particularly liked the first evening of the tour when we were all invited to attend a happy hour. This was for us to meet our new friends for the next 60 days or however long our tour was. Also at the end of our tour we had a farewell dinner, this was very good, we thought we could all go around again, it did not seem like we had just spent 60 wonderful days together having lots of fun.

We have done the Grand America tour 4 times and we would never have repeated it if we had not enjoyed the experience immensely. It is a fabulous tour and we would recommend it without hesitation. In fact we would do it again for the 5th time if the opportunity arises. Alaska had the most wonderful scenery – glaciers and snow covered mountains. We found this tour more strenuous than the 60 day tour – perhaps because of the long distances traveled.

This is the 3rd time I have done the Grand America tour and thoroughly enjoyed it each time. Every tour was different , the people , the places and the scenery. One time we had snow from Calgary through Montana and it was just magic. The pretty leaves on the east coast were incredible and the Canadian Rockies spectacular. I would love to go again.

“Big Red” was brand new and extremely clean and comfortable to ride in. There was plenty of leg room and the windows great to photograph the spectacular scenery from. Very well appointed.
Accommodation
Very good standard for a tour of this length – not one bad hotel in 60 days !
Sightseeing
Much thought has gone into the planning of this tour and the things we saw and did defy the imagination. The scenery was magnificent and the places we visited some of which we had only seen in the movies or on TV. We also enjoyed the little extras that were thrown in.

Val certainly “knew her onions” when it came to the commentary and knowledge of the places we visited. She was always helpful and her advise on restaurants and shopping was invaluable.

Richard was incredible. This was his 1st time driving Grand America and he found his way around extremely well and we did not get lost once. Richard was a perfect gentleman and went out of his way to be of assistance. He is an exceptionally good driver , very safe and very professional and he worked with Val very well. Great team !

This is the third tour we have done with World Discovery Tours – 1 National Parks and 2 Grand Americas. We thoroughly enjoyed every tour. We enjoyed the “Welcome Drinks” on the 1st night which enabled us to meet our fellow travelers for the next 60 days. We also enjoyed the farewell dinner and the prizes that were given out for guessing the mileage and the amount of diesel used on the tour. Good fun was had by all. We would have no hesitation to recommending this tour to future travelers.

Fabulous Tours. No 2 days alike. Extremely good value. If you were to see all the highlights separately, it would be double the price. Well done World Discovery.
