Will be going on our first Tauck tour in early May. Very excited and have read a lot of the comments on this forum. I am a bit of a sissy when it comes to heights and the thought of sitting in a smail, 6 person plane 10,000 feet up is both nauseating and terrifying! Can anyone tell me about their experience or if there is any way to find out if there have been any accidents? I tried to search online but only found that someone had died in an accident on an Alaskan tour. Was considering the trip to Monument Park but not sure I would be able to handle even longer time in the plane at that altitude! Didn’t like that the person on the phone at Tauck could not commit if the plane would sit 6 or 18…said they would have no way of knowing which planes would be available that day so you have to book without knowing! Also, do you remember which Slot Canyons the tour took you to? Was hoping to go to Antelope Canyon but was disappointed to find out that isn’t on the tour. Lastly, any info about the raft ride down the Colorado River. My husband is not a swimmer and the release they give you to sign is full of all terrible stuff that can happen. Is there anything to worry about in regard to rapids? Just wanted to get a realistic heads up of what to expect from people that have experienced it first hand. Looks like a wonderful time and we are excited to go! Thanks in advance for any advice, particularly from those who might have gone same time of year.
