FREQUENTY ASKED RANCHING QUESTIONS

Why book through American Round-Up?

Booking direct with the ranch or airline does not offer you the same financial protection and in the event of a problem, we are here to provide help and assistance. We are a fully Bonded Tour Operator which protects you money
Our rates are based on those charged by the ranch and include taxes and service charges. No hidden extras to pay at the end of your stay, with the exception of transfer charges which are generally paid locally. We have met people at Shows who have booked elsewhere or direct to be shocked when they were presented with a gratuity bill of 20% at the end of their stay.
Our ranches are personally inspected on a regular basis by our staff to ensure the best is on offer. During January 2008 we inspected 6 ranches in Arizona, 2007 Canada product and 2006 we inspected 34 ranches in North America so we recommend you call to discuss you requirements to make sure you choose the right ranch Tel 01798 865946.
