My Dad did a trip a few years ago with Tiitan Travel and loved every minute of it.

My parents have used travelsphere lots of times & never had an issue

We used Archers Direct to tour America and have been twice with them since then in Morrocco and Turkey and had great holiday every time. They are the same firm as Cosmos but you go direct and are cheaper

I have only done this once (California and West tour) a long time ago and would recommend it - you see a lot and someone else does the driving.

I went with Travelsphere - had no problems with them at all.
Having seen a tv programme today about the busiest border crossing in the world (or so they claim) San Diego - Tuijanna (spelling?)going over into Mexico for half a day - this might not be offered anymore as now the US authorities are very strict in letting people back in and queues average 4 hours! - this is more than you get as free time there.:D

We saw that programme too (one evening last week, I'm guessing they repeated it).
We were put off 'hopping across the border' for a day, from San Diego, as there had been an outbreak of dysentery in Tijuana :eek: but we had been in two minds about doing it anyway, due to the long queues to get back into the USA.
I'm not sure that we missed much :cool:

This sounds like the one we done, starting in Las Vegas and then touring around California. Like you say, you do get to see a lot, someone else does all the driving, and the rep was brilliant, really friendly, funny and knowledgable!

I'd totally recommend them.

we went over in 2009 with no problems at all, the queue was for cars only, if you walk over there is (or was) no queue at all going in, 5 mins coming back to USA
