You can look here http://www.utahscenictours.com/grand_circle_tour.html and
I'm sure there are other companies offering tours in the area known as the
Grand Circle.

Such that the original poster is seeking the same info gratis here rather
than pay someone? Now why can't the op do the work himself that he expects
someone else to do for him gratis? Lazy? Can pay for the tour but does
not want to pay for info about the tour? Has enough time to take the tour
but not enough time to conduct the search himself? Does not know how to use
google, bing, yahoo, ask, or any of the other search sites?

Don't be a jerk. Isn't participation in these groups low enough as it is?
And you want to discourage questions because you're so smart you never have
to ask anything? Why don't you leave, and leave the few remaining souls to
do what this group was started for - to share travel information.

Or perhaps the person is asking if anyone might have knowledge that

Not everyone is all-knowing as you must be.

tsk,tsk, tsk...so as a way of increasing participation in this group you
favor folks here to play travel agent gratis? Is that your point?

Allow me to point out that fulfilling the role of a travel agent is not
quite - by at least a country mile - sharing travel information.

I note that you yourself are not playing the role of travel agent to Jimmy.
Exactly why is that? How come you are not ferreting out his requested
information? Wouldn't you yourself supplying him with the requested
information be a lot more useful towards the kind of participation you tout
here? Why this talking the talk and not walking the walk? Why all this
hypocrisy?

Nothing there about "asking if anyone might have knowledge that might help

No, I am not "all-knowing." But I know enough to know that Jimmy is asking

Several travel agents, and many seasoned cruisers, post on
rec.travel.cruises and answer questions such as the OP's.

Not every travel agent will know all the necessary information either.
When we have worked with a travel agent, we have found it quite
helpful to do independent research.

You really are an ass. Why don't I recognize your name after over twenty
years on this group? The OP asked a very generic question, and why you take
that as an affront is a mystery. You must be one of these 'travel agents'
you tout so much, looking for a commission. Why don't you get lost? You're
still trying to sound all-knowing, and all you manage to do is to sound
all-jerk. You really don't belong here with that attitude.

I don't know why people complain about a person asking a perfectly civil
question. That's one of the reasons this ng exists. Even so, the
distances involved are such that you might best hire a car. Tho' we did
visit all those places as part of a car trip, we went to other parks too
and we did not use a travel agent. I must admit the lonely, empty road
to Moab was a bit intimidating.

He may be asking for info that you don't get with a travel agent.

I've actually tried travel agents for vacations, and except for one
4-day add-on to a scientific conference in Hawaii, I've never,
ever, had one cope up with a suggestion that was any good.
Really. They've never even heard of most of the companies I've
taken group tours with in the past. They've never even heard
of most of the places I've been. And the places they
have heard of, such as the last try, Panama, they never came up with
anything suitable.

Where in his post is he "asking for info that you don't get with a travel
agent"? Granted, he needs to work with a travel agent familiar with the
American Southwest and in particular Las Vegas, Arches National Park, Grand
Canyon, Monument Park, Bryce Canyon. Working with one specializing in the
New England states will probably not get him the information he seeks.

[chuckle] So you indeed did do the research for him. I was wrong. Lucky
man, he is. I do note, though, that his requested two day stay in LV at the
end is not included in the tour package. And the indicated tour includes
the north rim of the Grand Canyon rather than the more popular - and to many
the more sweeping view wise - south rim. But these are probably no more
than no-never-minds for what he is looking. I wonder why he hasn't the
courtesy of thanking you for doing all the work for him.

Some of both. Researching myself and asking people for help. Found a
lot of good information from people in different newsgroups. And
hopefully some of my posts helped others also.

It does not exist. Forget about visiting these places.

Why should he forget about visiting them? It just might take going
there himself by renting a car.

I could be wrong but short of arranging a personalized trip which
would be very expensive, I would doubt that there would be a trip that
would visit these locations without going to other locations also.

Tauck does have a tour that goes to Bryce, Zion, the Grand Canyon and
Las Vegas.

the
end is not included in the tour package. And the indicated tour includes
the north rim of the Grand Canyon rather than the more popular - and to
many
the more sweeping view wise - south rim. But these are probably no more
than no-never-minds for what he is looking. I wonder why he hasn't the
courtesy of thanking you for doing all the work for him.

You've been evading the question that was asked. Are you a travel
agent?


relevance? Whether I am one or not is a red herring, is it not? What
bearing does my being one or not have to do with the OP not doing his own
research? Or with him not seeking the services of any appropriate travel
agent?

We are looking for a tour that covers the following parks ending in Las

We want to visit Arches National Park, Grand Canyon, Monument Park,
Bryce Canyon and ending with a 2 day stay in Las Vegas.

Any ideas if this type of tour exist?

It does not exist. Forget about visiting these places.

Why should he forget about visiting them? It just might take going
there himself by renting a car.

I could be wrong but short of arranging a personalized trip which
would be very expensive, I would doubt that there would be a trip that
would visit these locations without going to other locations also.

Tauck does have a tour that goes to Bryce, Zion, the Grand Canyon and
Las Vegas.


kudos on doing OP's research for him.

Guess that tells me what I need to know.

I'd sure hate to be a client of yours. Then again, I'm not really big
on interacting with obnoxious argumentative people any more than I
have to.

On behalf of the OP, since he seems not to appreciate at all all this free
research on his behalf....thank you.

[chuckle] hmmm...allow me the observation that you here are doing a rather
superb job of exactly that.

By the way...how about establishing relevance as to whether I am a travel
agent or not vis a vis OP not doing his own research on the one hand and on
the other hand him not seeking the services of any appropriate travel agent.
That seems to have kind of, sort of slipped your mind there, did it not?

Thanks for the given information that "I know " guys. I am looking for
someone that has taken a trip of this type with some insight.

We did a similar trip a few years ago, but spent two weeks going by car.
Only the last night was in Las Vegas and we spent a whole lot on a truly
crappy meal. The National Parks and State Parks we visited were magical.
We stayed mostly in non-chain motels and ate all meals in local restaurants
(no fast food places around that we noticed anyhow). The rooms were all
spotlessly clean and the food good, though uninspired.

Walking the trails in the parks can be strenuous, but the maps tell you
which ones require anything other than good shoes and a big jug of water.
We rented horses in Zion and Bryce and the trail rides are especially
spectacular in Bryce. The jeep tours around Moab are very interesting given
the scenery, the tribal art and artifacts in the area, and the region's
history mining uranium. No trip will be long enough.

Still talking to me, are you now? Interesting...very interesting.

And I note you duck the issue of relevance. Even more interesting.
