Hi Mark.
I did this trip in October 2012 and there was 44 on our trip. It was the first year that JY did this tour and my first JY trip. We saw so many great things along the way with the best part being the Grand Canyon. All the hotels was excellent and we was very well looked after. It was an epic trip and well worth the expense. If you decide to go then you will love it. Make sure you take a camera with a lot of space on the memory card.
If you want any more information about this trip them please ask and I'll be happy to reply for you.
Paul.
