Bradley should win an award or something. We laughed the hours away while soaking in the sites. My friend, myself and our 22 yr old sons had an epic adventure. Nature is the best playground and this tour gave the best bang for the buck. Please keep your prices reasonable and I promise to tip generously. I can't wait to book my next trip!!
Great time! The parks are beautiful. But our guide made the trip awesome. Joel was considerate, has an expansive knowledge of SW region and Navajo Nation, and funny. There's a lot of road time; he maintained a good balance of information and quiet time. Even with the rain and wind, I'm glad we switched from lodging to camping. We laughed around the campfire and enjoyed watching our European and Australian campers enjoy their first smores. Dinner at Guy & Sheila's home was a bonus!
Jam packed adventure
Zion National Park, Bryce canyon, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon sprinkled with seeing some wild life, eating Navajo tacos, visiting the part of the road in Monument Valley from Forest Gump and driving on the famous Route 66 - it's definitely a trip for anyone who's wanting to see it all during their short time in Vegas and wanting to venture out.
HIGHLY recommend this tour and booking with this tour company.
Awesome Tour!
We had a couldn't be better guide Marie during our trip. She is a well-organized, considerate and efficient person. Although the weather was a challenge. We went through snow(freezing at mid-30') and heavy rain. But Marie managed to give us a memorable experience. Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon are the BEST.
Amazing 3 days exploring beautiful national parks. Everything was really well organized and ran smoothly. The camp sites were really nice and a brand new vehicle! Our guide was super knowledgeable and always ready to help. Would recommend to all age groups and all levels of fitness as you can do as much or little hiking as you like!
One of the best trips I've ever done. The guide, Joel, was incredible. So friendly, funny and knowledgeable; very organised and hard-working behind the scenes. He even put our luggage in our hotel room while we were sightseeing. Our bus had 10 guests, and the 3 empty seats meant that it didn't seem crowded at all. The itinerary was excellent - we packed a lot in but it didn't seem rushed. My body was still on Eastern Time so I didn't mind leaving at 7am both mornings and it meant that we made the most of the daylight hours. My highlights were Bryce, Antelope, sunrise at Monument Valley (it was cloudy for sunset) and of course the Grand Canyon. I stayed on at the Grand Canyon on my own because I wanted more time there, and to see sunset and sunrise and I'm very glad I did. (Our bus had a mixture of campers and hotel lodgers, which was a shame in a way, because we were split up overnight.) I would definitely recommend the tour company, and I hope to do at least one more of their tours
A rapid winter tour of the SW parks and day trips out of LV
We were limited in time and wanted to see some of the great SW Parks. The 3 day trip was ideal as it started and finished in Las Vegas. There was a lot of driving to fit it all in but we did see all that we wanted.
We also went on two day trips out of LV - Death Valley and Ghost Towns. I enjoyed the Death Valley more that the ghost towns as the latter were so full of tourists and commercialized that they were not Ghostly at all.
The tour company was well organised and professional. The guide (Joel) was excellent.

Amazing 3 day trip! Antelope Canyon is a must do add on and the Navajo dinner was delicious. The camp grounds were better then expected and even had WIFI. Was pretty special to wake up and open out tent onto Monument Valley.
It was a fast-paced highlight tour allowing to see a lot of parks and canyons in a short amount of time! Waking up to a sunrise in the Monument Valley was priceless!
Well organized with great guides
This is a great trip if you want to see 3 of the best parks in the US. They pack a lot of stuff in 3 days. The trips are well organized with great guides, who take the stress of the logistics, away from you. I never write reviews on anything, but this was exceptional and I would recommend highly.
I had the best time! Bradley (our guide) and my group were great. We were hit with some really bad weather, but Bradley made sure we were all taken care of and having a good time. 100% would recommend.
We covered a lot of wonderful sites and we all had such a great time. Our tour guide Evan was incredible, patient and dedicated. He explains the history, geology, etc of each places we visit making the trip even more enjoyable.
We opted for the camping option. It rained heavily the first night. After we were all in our tents, he walked around in the rain making sure that our tents were secured. Thanks Evan. Like we said when ended our tour...We love you.
Fantastic Tour!
Could not have asked for a better experience. Positives: unparalleled vistas, extremely well organized, outstanding guide (Joel) who tailored his care to the participants needs and shared his extensive knowledge of the history and geology of each area visited. I did the math, and could not have done the trip for any less myself (and then I would need to do the driving!) I have no suggestions for improvement....just go!
My bestie and I took our sons on this trip to celebrate their graduation from university (because they are half Aussie and half American). They needed to appreciate where they are from having been raised in Australia and just college in the US.
The boys slept off their hangovers in the van and we enjoyed the scenery and company of our guide Bradley. The administration really planned well because there were 3 single girls also in their early twenties. The girls were happy to be put together as well-they were all traveling separately when they booked. Extremely thoughtful consideration!
Bradley is awesome!! He has a plethora of knowledge and interesting stories from his extensive travels around the world. We felt very fortunate to have him as our guide and I think he enjoyed our time together too because we laughed the hours away on the road.
We had snow capped views of Bryce Canyon and luckily no flash flooding (that would cancel) the hike through those crazy water weathered walls of Antelope Canyon inside the Navajo Nation. There was snow and limited visibility during our hike around the Grand Canyon but those who ventured down into the canyon were rewarded with great views and clear skies. I chose to keep the local economy thriving by shopping and sipping whiskey by the fire in the historic hotel.
My favorite part was getting an up close and personal experience with the people of the Navajo Nation. Jeep tour, flute and story time, and a hot meal in the home all inside Monument Valley.
If you are still reading and pondering if you should go. The answer is YES! It's very inexpensive for what you get and honey for the soul!! Nature at your doorstep. And if you do go, Please tip generously. If you do the math, The guides do not get paid enough!!!
Oh ya, and don't forget to enjoy Vegas while you're there!
We had a fantastic time and would recommend it to anyone. Our guide Jon was extremely knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. We intend to come back next year.
"Very impressive"
Very nice tour with the highlights from the area. Great guide, great campsites - good mood in the group- also thanks to Alex our tour guide. A great experience, gladly again
Superb Guided Tour of World Class Parks
First and foremost, I must say that this 3 day, 2 night 'guided tour' by Jon (No 'H' please), was hands down the best guided tour I have ever taken. I have traveled with my family all over the world, but never experienced anything like this. We flew in to Las Vegas from California and met friends from Boston who wanted to see the Grand Canyon. My friend was very reluctant to take a tour because in the past she had done so to the Hoover Dam and said it was a silver-haired boring experience. This one was a complete 180, and she can't stop talking about it. From the moment Jon picked us up, he was a complete professional and and a true gentleman. He helped everyone on with their bags, accommodated everyone on the chartered van, and always let us know where we would be going and when and where we would be stopping. In those three days and two nights, we saw way more than we possibly could have imagined. Jon was so efficient with the itinerary and made sure he took us to key spots to take it all in. We had just enough time at each spot to see what we wanted to. We saw Zion Park, Antelope Valley, the Horseshoe, Powell Lake, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, a Navajo Reservation, and the Grand Canyon. In between stops, Jon became an entertainer with his great sense of humor and taught and informed us with a phd level of education from everything from Geology to Native American History to US History, etc. The tour was no less than fascinating. We traveled in a very comfortable van with 14 seats and met friends from Australia, Scotland, and Iran. The five of us were American. To maximize time, while we were visiting, Jon went out and bought great foods for us to make two picnic lunches that were awesome. He checked us in to two hotels that were awesome, and even brought us to the best Trading Post to buy authentic Souvenirs. Traveling with him made everything so much fun. We all laughed and shared information and stories. I came home with a book list and movie list of titles Jon referred to. I think it is incredible to have a guide that makes such a great traveling companion. I would do this tour over again in a heart beat, not only for the parks, but for the amazing tour guide. I'm guessing this company has all great guides, but I can't imagine one that would be better than Jon. This tour was well worth the cost. For the type of accommodations and information and guidance, I would have thought they would have charged three times. This was a world class travel experience that we will never forget, and we are already planning a second trip to Yellowstone. Way to go Jon!
We covered 1,200 miles in 3 days visiting Zion, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and Seligman on Route 66. The accommodation was very good. The trip was well organised and our tour guide Chris was excellent. He always went the extra mile to help us have the best possible experience.
It was a trip of a lifetime and one that I would dearly love to do again.
Amazing tour- would recommend highly! It is a busy tour but our guide Evan made it seamless and the most wonderful 3 days!! We saw so many interesting sights and the helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon was our highlight but really there were so many excellent experiences. Great value for money! Well done!!
I arrived back in Vegas last night after being on the three day trip. It was truly a trip of a lifetime, the highlight for me being Monument Valley. It is a very special place. I have so many fantastic memories which I will treasure forever. Thank you for putting together such an amazing tour. And a very special thank you to Chris our tour guide, who instantly put everyone at ease. Nothing was too much trouble and he consistently went the extra mile to make sure we had the best experience. Thanks Chris
You would be a fool to miss this.
We came to USA for just over two weeks, Starting in Vegas finishing in New York. To us Vegas was not the headline place, this 3 day tour took that accolade. We had the most amazing time, our guide Joel was super. We has an eclectic mix in our group of 14 and he made sure that nobody hogged the best seats and rotated everyone around the bus. Joel's knowledge was vast and he answered questions as they cropped up. You were not sat in the bus for hours the trip was well planned and well paced. We met some great people and some who we would like to call friends. We had a fabulous time, To have used those 3 days in Vegas would have been an absolute waste. This is a must do bucket list trip - early starts and full days but hey you can sleep when your dead or be a sad hopeless soul and wish your life away in Vegas. Cannot recommend highly enough. Would do it all again in an instant.
Wonderful experience - National Parks Tour From Las Vegas. We had a great 3-day tour. Joel was a knowledgeable and organized tour guide. Our fellow travelers were great- people from all over the world exploring the natural wonders in the US. There are so many fabulous sites to see... Zion was my surprising favorite, followed by the sunrise at the Grand Canyon. Overall the tour was extremely well run and the sites we saw we'll remember for a lifetime.

Top guide on a spellbinding national parks tour! Enjoyed a 3 day trip with my dad out of Vegas. The array of landscapes experienced on this trip is unique: the changing colours of the Grand Canyon at sunrise and sunset, the vast openness of the Navajo Desert, walking through the slot Antelope Canyon and walking amongst giants at the Zion National Park. Although we enjoyed it all and found it all stunning, for us, hiking in the park was the highlight. It wouldn't have been the same though without our expert, humorous guide, Joel. He regaled us with his fascinating stories transporting us back in time, whether it was gangster life in Vegas in the '30s and '40s, protagonists of the Navajo Desert, or Mormons fleeing to Utah. The whole trip ran like clockwork too.
Excellent Trip. Fast Paced way to see some awesome national parks and experience from Las Vegas. We did this tour last week; Evan our guide was AWESOME! He made the trip fun, educational and was simply super. Really enjoyed hiking the national parks and experiencing their beauty. Highlights for us was hiking the Navajo Trail at Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon's amazing walls and colors, camping right in front of the stone monoliths at Monument Valley with the moon and stars above us, waking up to sunset at Monument Valley. Overall Awesome Trip. Would highly recommend for those looking for an weekend getaway.
This company produced a Rolls Royce service from start to finish-their emails were full of all the information we needed and even a few days before we were due to go on the trip, they kindly emailed us to bring another layer of clothing as it had turned slightly colder there. We had a fabulous time where Jon, our tour guide, knew absolutely everything about the Navajos, geography and cultures; he also had a fabulous sense of humor and looked after us from start to finish. On our second night we had supper (Tacos) at Sheila's Farmhouse-a brilliant end to the day. We visited Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley, Antelope and the Grand Canyon - we also had an additional stop at Horseshoe Bend which was incredible. Our family and friends were amazed at the photos we were sending back on WhatsApp. Plenty of stops and picnics provided. A huge THANK YOU - we would (and have) definitely recommended this trip to family and friends - you will not be disappointed and we would definitely book another trip with this company!
"Not To Be Missed!!! This 3 day tour was fantastic. Rest up because it is a great, very busy scenic tour and you won't want to miss any of it. Our group of 14 felt very lucky to have Bradley as our guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he puts his heart and soul into his job, even with the lunches he made. Each stop was fantastic. So beautiful! Our guide arranged a dinner at a local woman's house that was delicious and informative. Such a better experience then a restaurant, although everyone enjoyed the buffet the other night and we were glad we chose that over menu. Best to eat as soon as you check in because the line is incredibly long if you wait. The accommodations in both places were clean and spacious. No complaints.
I have several back and neck issues but I was able to do most of the walks. I regretted not doing Antelope because the walk was not as hard as I anticipated. The pictures were amazing that I saw later. We had a great guide and group."
Trip of a Lifetime - Best National Parks Tour from Las Vegas. We did the 3 day tour. The trip was amazing, the scenery was fantastic and we had an exceptional time. Our tour guide was fantastic, informative, entertaining and very organized.
Amazing Trip. 3 incredible days. All stops incredible and the must see Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Took the walk option did flight (must do if one visit canyon)on another day. Nice walks in Zion, not enough time on three day tour would recommend longer tour with more time in Zion. Antelope pictures do not tell all one has to be in the Canyon!! The music played at end of tour topped it up.Bryce no picture tells it all , just go see this amazing amphitheater. Monument valley -Optional included Jeep tour-Ours was topped up with an instrument play by our tour guide, The echoes made her music even better. Accommodation: Ruby's Inn , clean and comfortable rooms(BEST WESTERN). Goulding's Lodge : we had 2 and 3 bedroom options , great accommodation. Both had good WIFI. Group: Total 11 , amazing people , was late at one stop, greeted with smiles and relief I was okay. Evan: His incredible knowledge and great narrations were great. Well spaced with music. Evan was always friendly, helpful, polite ,kind and acted as if starting the day at end of long day. Makes day's plan very clear ,well planned stops , very helpful, got system in place that just makes the three days awesome.
My Heart Is Still Singing.To be in beautiful surroundings is amazing in and of itself. But to be expertly guided and escorted to some of the world's most awe-inspiring places is beyond amazing. That is exactly what we had on this tour. Joel, our guide, could not have been a more interesting, personable, organized, or patient escort. When I lost my phone, he went above and beyond to contact the place where I lost it and help me make arrangements to have it mailed to me. His love of each location was obvious in every word he shared. I was hesitant about going on a camping trip with 11 strangers, but it could not have been better.
Spectacular! Everything you see on the Tour is simply indescribable! I was with good expectations but everything was more! Sleep and sunrise in Monument Valley, after a 4x4 route, see an endless starry sky .. the magic of lights and shadows of Antelope canyon .. The contrast of colors of Zion .. The shapes and passages of Bryce (and immense ) Canyon! To me every day I left without words, things are fast, because in 3 days it is impossible to do more, but everything is lived intensely! And our guide Alex, great, very nice, helping and giving us information all the way! 100% recommended!
One Of The Highlights of our Life! A wonderful round trip with a great guide, Chris. Super organization, beautiful scenery. Although it was fast paced, there was enough time to discover the parks we visited. The co-travelers were a bonus: an international team, all kind and enthusiastic people. Highly recommended for adventurous travelers!
THIS TOUR COMPANY IS AMAZING! I am just back from a 7 day trip to Las Vegas and I had the joy of doing the 3 day National Park Camping Tour! WOW! It was AMAZING !. Our guide really made it super special, Bradley, his knowledge and passion was inspiring. It is a fast moving tour, you see A LOT in a short amount of time, but this is perfect for people like me who want to tick as many boxes as possible. Great value for money. For me, this company is the true hidden gem of Las Vegas
This tour was action packed, thoroughly enjoyed it. Saw so much that we wouldn't have seen had we been doing it on our own. Bradley was an amazing tour guide, great organizer and always on time; very very knowledgeable. Well worth the money!
Amazing, highlight of my 7 day trip to Las Vegas. This tour had a really nice pace to it, we saw so much in a short space of time, and never felt rushed. The scenery was literally stunning from start to finish. Our tour guide Bradley was truly amazing, he was unbelievably knowledgeable (at times I wondered if he had a teleprompter) and even though the trip was amazing on it's own, Bradley took it to that next level of being a one in a lifetime experience! This company is incredible and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone!!! Bradley we love man, thank you for our 3 days of awesomeness!
Incredible. We had an amazing time on our tour and with our awesome guide Bradley. This tour encompasses so much but at the right pace and still allowing time to do your own thing. Some of the experiences were truly once in a lifetime (camping at Monument Valley a personal fave!) and our tour guide was fantastic from start to finish - fun, interesting, ridiculously knowledgeable and a great organizer! If you have the time from Vegas this is a must as a tour!
3 Day Tour of Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, etc.
My wife and I had never done anything like this before, it was fantastic. Jon, our tour guide was tremendous. Very informative and knowledgeable. If you book a trip like this be sure to request Jon. We went on a total of three tours while on our trip and this tour with Jon was our highlight. We loved it.
Superb experience. A true bucket-list experience, with an excellent tour guide (Jon: a man who could talk the leg off a donkey, and eat it), fine food (with breakfasts and lunches cobbled together by Jon) and some truly awe-inspiring sights. The tour was well-paced, allowing sufficient time at each venue for a reasonable romp, well-organized, and hugely enjoyable. There was never more than 90 minutes between each stop, allowing familiarization with a number of gas station restrooms (all very clean), and I don't recall ever getting bored. The touring group of 14 (a full minibus load) were terrific: never a cross word for the whole three days. And, naturally, the locations pretty much sell themselves. Really, very hard to fault.
I recently went on a 3 day Southwest USA National Parks customized tour with this company. I only have positive feedback to give. The tour was so totally different from spending time on the Las Vegas strip - it was refreshing to take a few days out and truly appreciate the natural environment. On the tour we visited Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Antelope canyon and of course the Grand Canyon among other wondrous sights. Our guide was spectacular. Hugely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about every activity. He was organized, and always willing to answer questions or assist. The itinerary was just packed enough, without being too exhausting. The meals were delightful - bbq and toasted marshmallows, and a home cooked meal at a local family house. I would highly recommend this tour. The incredible scenery and friendly group was such a fantastic experience
Absolutely incredible experience! This tour had a really nice pace to it, we saw so much in a short space of time, and never felt rushed. The scenery was literally stunning from start to finish. Our tour guide Bradley was amazing, he was so knowledgeable and really made the trip for me! The food provided throughout was great, I'm vegan and they catered to me no worries. They are incredible and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
Absolutely amazing trip I would do again in a heartbeat.
A couple of friends and I went on a 3 day/2 night tour and it was honestly incredible. Our guide was called Bradley, and he was absolutely fantastic. I've never met anyone with so much knowledge about the world, as well as the various canyons and parks we visited. He made everything so interesting, telling us the history and stories of everywhere we went to. The parks themselves were just breathtaking, I've never seen anything like them, and the fact we got to camp with a view over the mittens was an experience I'll never forget. The food provided was fantastic throughout, and Bradley was very attentive to us, doing pit stops when needed and tailoring our trip so that it suited us. I'd recommend Bindlestiff to everyone, because there's activities and accommodation to suit everyone. Our trip was the best part of my trip to the US, and it is an experience I'll never forget.
Amazing Tour. I had a great time, met wonderful people and saw the beautiful landscapes of US south west... The camping was fun and well organized... We made a lot during those 3 days, enough to see most of everything. I wish we had more time in Zion and maybe little less time in the grand canyon - but that's just my preference
The best (and fastest and easiest) way to see these national parks
We heard about this tour company from my parents and their friends who had a great time on a longer tour of the same area. Because we have a college student and a high schooler, we were limited to the 3 day parks tour with a few days in Vegas on either side. And, although this tour is billed as camping, we happily paid more for the lodging option.
I cannot say enough great things about our tour guide, Khriss Urban. He was as knowledgeable as someone with a PhD in geology and as entertaining as any Oscar MC. His information and anecdotes made the miles (and there are a fair amount of miles) in the van fly by, but he also left plenty of time for naps and just watching the scenery. He handled every logistic (rest stops, lunch provisions, hotel check ins) and made sure the needs of each party on our tour were met.
The information given about what was needed for the trip was perfect and they promptly answered any emailed questions beforehand. Our lodging was just what you would expect: simple, clean, comfortable (both places had great beds), and had everything you needed and nothing you did not.
Bring a small backpack or shoulder tote - padded straps are key. You can hike a lot or a little - you will still see everything. We would use this company again in a heartbeat
I would like to thank you for one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. The three-day national parks tour is absolutely amazing! It's a very professional company. I would especially like to thank the guide Mike for his professionalism and knowledge about the places visited. So if you want breathtaking landscapes with highly skilled professionals choose this tour, you will not regret it!
"I recently took the 3-day National Parks tour, and it was fantastic! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and any questions I had before booking were answered quickly. A lot is fit into these three days, but things never felt rushed or like there wasn't enough time.The pacing between each day is very well laid out. All of the locations we visited are just as wonderful as they appear in photos, if not more so, and the road trip parts were just as enjoyable for me. I was somewhat under the impression that driving around in the desert would be just staring at miles of sand and flat scenery, which I couldnāt have been more wrong about! Itās absolutely beautiful everywhere you look out there. I did this trip solo, and if that's something you're considering, don't let being nervous about travelling alone stop you! The group that we were travelling with was great, and I ended up spending a lot of time with a couple of people my age who were also travelling solo. Everyone else was very friendly and easy to get along with, and you get to know people from all over the world who you'd never have the chance to meet otherwise. I went the week after Labor Day weekend, which seemed to be a good time - less crowded and the weather was great. One thing I really enjoyed was how much free time we had. As we approached each destination, we received a map of the park, and recommendations for which trails were advised based on duration and difficulty. After that, we were turned loose and got to spend our time however we wanted. I did a decent amount of hiking and still had plenty of time to take in the views, rest, and check out any visitor centers/museums. If you're not a big hiker, most places had a scenic viewpoint close to the drop off point, or a basic walk you could do. I chose the camping option instead of lodging, and was a little nervous
about it, as I'd only camped once before, years ago. I'm really glad I chose this option though! Falling asleep with all the stars and Milky Way overhead the first night was an amazing experience, and the up closeview of sunrise over Monument Valley was also incredible. The shower/bathroom facilities were good, and all of the provided equipment was comfortable and clean. The tent was easy to set up, and roomy even with two people inside. I'd recommend bringing an inflatable pillow, and a sweater - the first night was pretty chilly, because of the elevation! The lodging options both looked like they would have been nice as well. The van we drove around in was comfortable - we were full up with 15 people, but I always had plenty of legroom. Meals were simple but filling - even with all the extra calories being burned, I was never hungry at any point. I definitely recommend doing the optional dinners each night, especially the meal at the Navajo family's home! There are also plenty of rest stops along the way for bathroom and snack breaks. Some of the stops were really fun as well, not just at gas stations along the road. This tour was an easy 5 stars on its own, but one thing that made it really special was our excellent tour guide, Joel. He kept us organized and on time which must occasionally feel like herding cats. He's a safe driver, very funny, and has a wealth of information on the area stored away - geology, history, culture, literature, and more that he shared with us throughout the trip. His passion for the land and its history made the trip a lot more memorable than it would've been with just having facts and numbers rattled off. Plus, he played some great tunes along the way! My only regret on this trip is not having booked the 7-day version. At the end of the third day I was sad to leave the desert behind and drive back into all the bright lights of Vegas. I'll definitely be booking another trip in the future!"
Fantastic Trip!
I did the 3 day South-Western National Parks trip in September and was very impressed with the tour; knowledgeable tour guide (Joel) and packed a lot in for 3 days. Would highly recommend!
A great tour with a great guide.You have enough time to walk, hike and take photos everywhere.The highlight is the camping in Monument Valley. Fantastic !!!
Unforgettable Trip.
This trip is unforgettable and really well organized. We did a lot of things in 3 days so it couldn't help don't have much time for each place. Our guide, Alex, did an amazing job and knowledgeable. He knew what he's doing. Surprisingly, Monument valley was the most impressive one. I was expecting to be the Grand Canyon though. I very much liked this trip. going to see new great places with new nice people. I do believe ones who chose to go travel to the same place must have some things in common and I was right the destiny brought us to meet even in a short time. At last, I highly recommend this trip especially with the camping option.
3 day national parks tour from Las Vegas, Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Route 66- Great experience! It's a great three day tour with a perfect tour guide. You come to different national parks and you can always do what you want there. Enough free time for hiking, photos or whatever you want. The tour guide brings you safe to the different places and tells you many interesting thinks about them. The camping is another highlight of the tour. In the second night you camp in Monument Valley with the greatest view ever!!
An Unforgettable Tour!
I strongly concur with the other reviewers who did this incredible tour. Our tour guide Mike Brown was excellent - very knowledgeable, friendly and an excellent driver. He took a laid back approach which we appreciated. The whole tour was well organized and we had frequent stops on the way. Being retirees we opted to stay in hotels rather than camping and both were good with excellent dining options and shops. We enjoyed meeting some lovely young people from all over the world.
Lunch on the first day was quite basic but was much better on the next two days when we had a huge array of cold meats, salad, dips, fresh fruit and bread to select from.
We really enjoyed our hike along the river in Zion Canyon and Bryce Canyon was truly stunning. Antelope Canyon was a magical experience and our young Navajo guide was good at helping us to get the best shots. We also enjoyed our Navajo guided tour to Monument Valley. Our guide was warm and friendly and told us interesting stories about her family and her people. We also enjoyed our unexpected stop at Horseshoe Bend although the trek to see it was quite difficult in the extreme heat. We loved seeing the amazing Grand Canyon and doing the 5 km walk along the rim. Our 25 min helicopter trip over the Grand Canyon was just incredible. It really was the highlight of our whole 5 week trip to North America.
On our way back to Las Vegas we had a fun stop at a quirky cafe on historic Route 66 at Seligman, Arizona called Delgadillo's Snow Cap. We enjoyed a delicious strawberry malted milk and french fries. This family business was established in 1953 and is still going strong.
I highly recommend this tour. Each day is very full so you need to be prepared for that. You need a reasonable level of fitness to do the walks although easier options are always given and there is of a hotel version available.
"incredible 3 days excursion"

Excursion to do absolutely, Marie was our great guide and great atmosphere in our group. Everything was very well organized. Magic, wonderful landscapes.
3 days and 2 nights. This was the most amazing tour I have ever done. Organisation was fantastic. The places we saw were incredible- with side tours and dinners added on just made the trip. Our guide Marie was awesome- so knowledgeable, professional, organised, safe and lots of fun. I'm going to send my parents on this tour. I'd even do it a second time myself! Loved every moment of it. Thank you.
An incredible adventure! This trip was planned to perfection and I am still amazed how much of the canyonlands we saw in three days. Zion and Bryce were stunning, Antelope Canyon was just surreal and Monument Valley and Grand Canyon were awesome. An absolute bonus was the jeep tour across the Navajo Reservation and the unexpected evening meal at the home of a very hospitable Navajo Indian family.
Our driver and guide,Jon, was superb. From the moment we left Las Vegas he entertained us with his wealth of factual information and his personal anecdotes. Good timing was essential with so much to see in such a short time and Jon managed this to perfection with ample time to see the sights and take advantage of the comfort breaks en route.
My wife and I ,being senior citizens, chose the overnight lodge option rather than the camping and our accommodation on both nights was comfortable and acceptable.
Overall this small group tour enabled us to experience a great deal in a short space of time in good company and with a very professional tour guide
Enjoy the 3 day camping tour and full of surprises! It was first camping in my life and could be the best! Every day and everything is well arranged. Mike Brown makes me realize how crucial the role of a tour guide is. Unlike other tour guides before, Mike is very organized and patient. He drives all the way without any words like tired or unhappy. He is a good leader to the team, a very helpful friend on the way, a nice driver aware everyone's safety, and last but not the least, he is an excellent storyteller, very informative. All that makes me a kind of enjoy in the van, although felt nauseous because of too busy with our schedule every minute. Mike shared stories about American Indian, the Hoover Dam, Vegas and the Historical Route 66 when we are driving through. There were surprises everyday, every place was different. By the way, the meals are good with many choices, and water are provided sufficiently every day
I really recommend this tour. three days full of interesting to do. I really appreciated the camping front Monument Valley. it was something really intensive. I also appreciated Grand Canyon and the jeep tour in monument Valley. the guide Joel was really good. Educated and always available to describe locations give advice and support us. i think we will do another tour and we will request Joel. the Navajo dinner was interesting and good. we really appreciated the tour.
I am happy to express my gratitude for the wonderful 3 day tour I did with my two children (10 and 14). We had a great adventure through the most fascinating National Parks. Our tour guide, Evan, was amazing. He has an incredible knowledge of history, geography and he made the driving parts interesting and fun.
The whole organization was perfect. Driving, stops, picnics, time at the parks.... We were a group of 12 and Evan made us all feel comfortable and welcome. He was always helpful, polite, kind even after a long and tiring day.
The camping was great, the equipment perfectly fine, in good condition.Thank you, Evan for creating a memorable and beautiful experience.
This trip was exceptionally great. One to put on your bucket list.
Mike, our guide was particularly professional in the way he communicated with the group including 3 teenagers.
His manner was easy going yet he got all information across to us with any silly jokes but yet was humorous. No loud shouting or load music.
Just perfect in my sons and my opinion.

We had an absolutely wonderful time with Jon. Not only did he take us to many spectacular places he also knew about the local community and had a lot of fun stuff to tell. We can only recommend this three days tour. We got much more than expected
A great tour, everything is great
I had a great time with a group of people. Joe is a wonderful tour guide, he is funny but very responsible for the driving and the safety issues of us. I also enrolled in another camping tour of another company, I have to say the this company is much much better. Also, the views from these national parks were amazing.
Did the 3 day tour last month and was not disappointed! Breathtaking landscapes and a highly knowledgeable tour guide/driver Jennie made for an excellent time and one I would recommend to anyone.
I did the hotel option and the rooms were of a high standard. In many ways better than what I stayed in in Vegas! Sure there is a lot of time spent in the bus (as you cover a lot of miles) but the spectacular sights of Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon and Antelope Canyon (among others) certainly made up for this.
And I especially liked the structured/non-structured nature of the tour. At each location, we were provided maps and suggestions and had time to do our own thing, be it a long hike, short walk or just relaxing and taking it all in.
A solo traveler, I joined 11 travelers plus our guide 3-day Southwest tour. From the start our guide, Jon, welcomed us with friendliness and care. Along the way, off and on, he kept us entertained with fascinating stories about the area. He's a true raconteur. From Zion and Bryce day one, to Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley day two and Grand Canyon day three, there were regular comfort stops along the way to stretch our legs and get some snacks. While many in the van chose the camping option, I chose the lodging option and rooms were good quality. Jon is a qualified and experienced guide who ensured we all had the right information about optional short hikes, stops and meeting points. He quietly kept us all to schedule so we arrived at each destination at the right time. The two highlights for me were Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley, although all destinations inspired awe. I also enjoyed the camaraderie between travelers in the van.
An excellent tour, with travel times and well-planned visits that allowed us to know and enjoy the natural beauties of the parks visited. Our guide, Brad, always proactive in providing information, greatly contributed to making the most of the tour (thank's Brad). The optional visit to Antelope Canyon is a must. A great tour that I strongly advise anyone who wants to know this area of the USA

This was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Chris, our tour guide, was beyond amazing. He really seemed to go out of his way to ensure that we all had a memorable experience, and we certainly did. I was blown away by how knowledgeable Chris was about every location we visited. I could probably go on and on, but Chris was just all around great--very friendly, hardworking, and attentive. The tour itself was one that I will never forget. I was so happy that we got to see all that we did in just 3 days. That being said, the trip didn't feel rushed or hectic; everything was perfect. I can't stop raving about Bindlestiff to my friends and family and I 100% look forward to touring with them in the future. After such an incredible experience, I cannot imagine touring with anyone else!
This was definitely the highlight of our three-weeks tour through the Southwest. Our tour guide Mike was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, the campgrounds also excellent, the route well chosen.
We felt so privileged to see Antelope Canyon with just a couple of dozen people and to do the jeep tour in Monument Valley with a very moving Navajo experience. We will never forget it. The 3-day-tour is rather expensive for families with teens. Still worthwhile by any means!

I also enrolled in another camping tour of another company, I have to say this company is much much better. Also, the views from these national parks were amazing.
We wanted to book the 7 day national parks tour and it was full, so we booked the 3 day tour instead and it was fantastic from start to finish. The itinerary is packed, make no mistake about that, but tour operator knows about tours and what works. There was never a dull moment and we traveled with two other families and a couple, 13 of us in all, lovely people from around the world.
Our guide was Brad, a 40 something well travelled, quirky, funny, friendly guy who knows his stuff and shares as much or as little as you want. He has great life stories to share too. The route was well planned, the locations, stops and everything were excellent. All the recommended walks/ trail routes were perfect.
Our routing was scenic throughout, departing from Las Vegas to Zion (via Glen Canyon/Dam), Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon, also stopping along Route 66. We added on the optional Antelope Canyon which was mesmerising, plus a 25 minute helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, which was fabulous.
The vehicle, tents, sleeping bags and equipment were in excellent condition. The tents were new and easy to put up/pack up. Sleeping bags / sleep sheets were spotlessly clean and in excellent condition. Very clean hot shower and toilet/washing facilities. Camping locations were perfect (the second night with a clear view of Monument Valley for sunset and sunrise).
The trip stops were all amazing and wonderful each in their own way and its not possible to say one is better than the other! We highly recommend this trip.
Awesome way to see amazing sites
This tour was so perfect as I had limited time to travel, but got to maximize every second! It was a no-brainer as we were guided along our 3-day itinerary with ease. It was fun, met great people, and saw some draw-dropping sites! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and I learned so much, enhancing the experience at each site. I highly recommend this tour and will surely book my next one soon
Wonderful 3 day national parks tour from Las Vegas - excellent value, highly recommend

Even though we chose the option to camp, my daughter, and my friend and I had a blast. We made new friends. Everyone in our group was really friendly. Our tour guide Bradley M. Was also very cool. Enthusiastic, funny, smart, and most of all approachable. I felt so smart by the time the tour was finished. Bradley shared a lot of amazing information and stories that's related to this tour. the second night, we were lazy to pitch the tent so we decided, all three of us and another girl who was traveling solo, to sleep in one tent!!!! That was more fun! It was so worth it.
We recently took the 3 day park explorer tour and had the trip of a lifetime! This was due in no small part to our tour guide, Chris. He was there at every step of the way to take care of us and make sure that we all had an amazing trip. Chris consistently went above and beyond all day (and night!) including rescuing us from a surprise 2 am sandstorm and helping us batten down the hatches on our tents. No matter what the situation (or hour), he always had a positive, warm and enthusiastic attitude. We always felt safe in his hands despite encountering three bouts of sudden extreme weather. (He guided us through two sandstorms and a giant hail storm!) We also particularly appreciated the fact that he made sure that we had vegan fare at breakfast, lunch and dinner. ( We actually came prepared with our own freeze dried camping food just in case, but never needed to touch it.) He took us to some bonus sites of interest to our group and always made sure that 14 diverse individuals with different needs and interests had an amazing time. I would definitely book any other tour he was leading without hesitation!
Thank you again for an amazing time! We hope to travel again with you in the future!
Just wanted to say thank you for the tour we completed today. Chris did a great job keeping us all on schedule and more importantly safe throughout. Even last night when we were hit by a sandstorm while camping! Great tour and scenery at Grand Canyon does not do the canyon justice! Bryce and antelope canyons were certainly our unexpected highlights.

He took us to some bonus sites of interest to our group and always made sure that 14 diverse individuals with different needs and interests had an amazing time. I would definitely book any other tour he was leading without hesitation! The parks are, of course, amazing! I would highly recommend booking the camping option simply because the sunrise and sunset over Monument Valley is the highlight of the entire trip. For those concerned about roughing it, the campgrounds are equipped with nice shower and bathroom facilities. At the first campground, the showers are in individual rooms with a little changing area and bench/hooks. In the second campground, there are multiple showers in one shower room, but of course, each shower has a lockable door and a small changing area as well. The campgrounds also have free wifi, and there are also ample chances to charge up any devices both at the campgrounds and on the van.
Even though there is a lot packed into this tour, there is ample time given at each park for hiking. We spent 2 1/2 - 3 hours at each location. This is enough time to complete one or two short trails at each park. Of course, if you'd like to spend more time at each park, there is a more in-depth 7 day tour available. There are also a variety of trail options to fit a variety of different ability levels, so you will be able to select a course that's right for you! This was easily the best organized tour I've ever been on! I highly recommend it to everyone!"
This was definitely a trip to remember forever. From the very beginning our tour guide Evan appeared to be a fun, knowledgeable guide and I knew this trip was going to be fun and exciting.
Day 1:
Driving about 3+ hours
Hiking about 4+ hours
Evan picked up our group in Stratosphere on Sunday July 1. We decided to fly in from NY and stay in the Stratosphere just for convenience which was cool because we got our first taste of Las Vegas. Evan was right on time and ready to go. As soon as everyone was settled in the van and introduced ourselves, Evan gave us the choice of music: either Elvis or Sinatra: Our group selected Sinatra. Throughout the day Evan told us exciting facts about Las Vegas, its origins and what makes it unique. We also stopped by a gas station/convenience store to buy things and use the bathroom.
When we finally arrived to our first hiking stop Zion National Park, Evan already informed us of its creation and landscape and also of the water refill location, museum and bathroom. He gave us our lunch which consisted of assorted sandwiches, chips and fruit and gave us about 3 hours to just hike, which we took full advantage of and it was AMAZING!!! Be sure to take lots of pictures, rest and drink water whenever needed. We followed the Emerald Trail which takes you on top of a mountain and the end is a natural beach/lake. I immediately took my sneakers off and walked into the water to cool off.
Afterwards, we drove for a while and began hiking in Bryce Canyon which was again filled with amazing and unforgettable views. Please take your time and take a lot of pictures!!! When we finished with Bryce Canyon we set off to our camp ground and ate dinner. We had to pay for dinner, which was I believe $12. After we ate we prepared for the cold night ahead as it was reported to be 40 degrees F. I came prepared¦I wore a sweater, fuzzy socks, pajama pants and stayed pretty warm especially with the provided tent and sleeping bag.
Day 2:
Ate breakfast (cereal, muffins, peanut butter jelly sandwiches, fruit, chips, orange juice, coffee)
Sirius music stations varied from acoustic rock to rockā¦basically slow jams.
We opted to do the Antelope Canyon trail and let me tell you it was worth the $50 I spent. The views were AMAZING and your tour guide will know what angles work to take the best picture so just give him/her the camera whenever they ask for it.
Lunch: Evan allowed us to make our own sandwiches: turkey, ham, different cheeses, fruit, chips, bread. Amazing Tour ā Amazing Guide!
Always wanted to see monument valley but never been camping before I had some trepidation, I needn't have concerned myself , it was brilliant, made exciting and fun by our amazing guide Bradley, the guy is totally cool, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The canyons were everything I could have wished for and I even got to see condors in flight! Even the meals were good and the rest breaks on the longish drives perfectly positioned, all in all a wonderful experience, thank you highly recommended
Best vacation ever!"
At first I was a bit skeptical because I had never been camping and as a solo traveler could not assess what to expect. These thoughts quickly disappeared when I met the guide and the group. We all got along right away and apart from a couple, they were all solo travelers. When you book this tour, you have to be aware that you spend a lot of time in the van. But that makes the beautiful walks, for example, through the Bryce Canyon National Park or the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone again. Also the camping is great: no hotel can keep up with the evening campfire and cooking together. To stay in the great outdoors was the icing on the cake. Finally, one would like to visit the wonders of nature (National Parks) - it is all the better if you can also see sunrise and sunset without further efforts. The tour is highly recommended.
We loved this tour! We got to discover breathtaking places and see beautiful landscapes with the trails and hikes we did. We highly recommend this tour specially thanks to our guide, Evan! He was thoughtful, caring and responsible and always met the group's needs. He made great meals and with him we got to enjoy the most authentic american flavors from an amazing dinner at a Diner family's home to a burger on the side of Route 66! Evan was always ready to answer all our questions with super nice story telling skills, as well as leadership to create a team spirit in the group. Thank you Evan for the great adventure with fantastic soundtrack
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the 3-Day National Parks Camping Tour - we had never been to these parks before, and we really appreciated our knowledgeable tour guide, Mike, for the great job he did. The tour was well organized, we enjoyed our international group (UK, Finland, South Korea, Italy and US), and the adequate time we had at each site. We were glad to have chosen the lodging option as the comfort of beds and a hot shower were very welcome at the end of very full days! This trip exceeded our expectations, and we were in awe of God's spectacular creation! Bryce Canyon and Antelope Canyon were highlights, but everything else was great as well!
My wife and I crowned our 7-week round the world trip with this most memorable tour.
As Australian, we love camping and great outdoors. This company went beyond our expectations.
Our diverse group of 11 came from the US, Germany, Switzerland, Korea and Australia and we soon became friends.
I couldn't thank Joel our friendly guide enough. He is very well organised and thorough in planning ahead. His advance briefing gave us interesting options on how best to enjoy each site within our physical limit and time allowed. He is most knowledgeable in history, geology, geography and legends of the canyon country. I find it very entertaining as he related stories and shared his experience and quoted from a rare book, The Desert. Obviously he loves the awesome ancient landscape and the Navajo people.
In summary - great adventure, best tour guide, balanced and well paced and value for money. Highly recommended.
We had so much fun! It was very educational. I enjoyed all the parks and even enjoyed the hiking and camping too. I bought a book at the visitor center. Grand Canyon rim trail hike showed samples of different rock formations that are very old. The oldest was 1.7 billion yrs old! Yes billion. Our tour guide was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. He was also funny and approachable. Also enthusiastic. Please donāt forget to tip your guide. Everything was so worth it!!!
Our tour guide Joel was so knowledgeable and personable too! The timing of the trip was excellent. It is perfect for those who want to see all the different areas and hike a little or not. If you want a full day of hiking in one area take the 7 day tour. I would be sure to opt for the to dinners offered. Joel also added some neat little things like a rest stop on historical Route 66. The small group size made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!!

Organized and amazing itinerary including the highlights of Utah and Arizona. Our tour guide Evan, was super friendly, knowledgeable and funny all the way. I recommend this tour to everyone who wants to have a great time in beautiful places, make some new friends and learn about These areas of the U.S.A
We just got back from the 3 day tour and we had an amazing time! Joel, our guide was wonderful and made the trip so special! He is so knowledgeable and My whole family learned so much from him. You made everything so easy and we are all so pleased with the experience, the tour group size was perfect and all the details of the three days could not have gone better! So happy and just wanted to let you know how thankful we are for a lifelong full of memories of this trip! It is rare that we find something that the whole family loves and this was it hands down.
We did this tour recently - it was excellent in all respects. The tour guide was very competent and professional, the fifteen seater coach comfortable, accommodation more than adequate and the itinerary well paced.
We are in love with the Tours!! Our experience was truly the trip of our lifetime, so far. We are SOOOO hoping to explore Alaska. Finances will determine our next trip. Mike Brown was our guide during the fast-paced 3 day National Parks Tour, and he was more than great. His encyclopedic knowledge is impressive. I could have sworn he had notes he was referring to during his narration as he drove, but he had none. Mike's interest, study and enthusiasm about the history, geology and every other aspect of our tour was obvious and infectious. We could not have encountered a better guide. Aside from his excellent driving and narration, Mike was very professional, amiable and organized. Mike is also an excellent story-teller with a relaxed attitude and a reassuring voice. Without coming off as a "drill instructor", Mike made it clear we needed to be aware of time constraints in order to optimize our tour. Because we had cooperative tour mates, we were able to enjoy some extra/surprise stops!!! Thank you to Mike and all our tour buddies!! As for us campers, I was happy with our meals. The first night's BBQ was great and the second night of Indian Tacos prepared by Sheila was awesome!! Mike arranged and presented all of our meals in a very organized and appealing manner (though rustic - but I'm all about rustic). The ingredients were all fresh and appetizing. I especially appreciated the abundance of spring water in the jug so we could refill our bottles!! We woke up at 5am for sunrise in Monument Valley!!! That sunrise was astounding, and a once-in-a-lifetime if you don't live there. Advise: Wear excellent footwear and head gear, seriously! Forget fashion. Heed the sun/temp predictions. On this particular fast-paced tour, bring casual camera equipment-you won't have time for formal images & consider protecting your camera from talcum dust. I truly enjoyed spending our tour with the young couple from Belgium and all the folks from Australia and the family from Pennsylvania. We will, and are recommending Tours to everyone we know!!! Thank you, Mike and all the folks!!!
Joel was our guide, from the moment we met, he took care of all of our needs, Lots of hiking in our national parks with good walking shoes. Just when you think you seen everything another great view is presented. We loved camping in Monument Valley, the sky at night is covered with stars. Be prepared to take lots of pictures and meet great people as you spend 3 days enjoying the experience
With limited time on our hands we chose the three day tour, pleased that we could take all our luggage as we were travelling from Australia which was in our rooms each night. Joel our guide was knowledgeable about the area and the Navaho people, his great sense of humour complemented ours. Will make it our first choice when considering another tour in their neck of the woods. John D
3 Day National Parks Tour From Las Vegas.
We were a group of 13, well-traveled adults, in our 60s, who wanted a tour of the Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Zion before returning to Las Vegas. We only had 3 days to do it and with Rachelās help it was an outstanding success. I cannot say enough about how helpful Rachel was in determining the timing, order and deciding where to stay on the 2 nights we were on the trip. Rachel was delightful, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and extremely considerate. She was always aware of our physical comfort and needs. We had some physical restrictions so options for hikes, and other activities were always offered. Ours was a custom, private tour. Rachel picked us up at the Las Vegas airport with a van and trailer for our luggage and took us right to the home we were renting on our return. Absolutely outstanding trip, I highly recommend Rachel and her company. (The other 12 in our group concur on that too!)
A Great Family Trip ! In 3 days - 5 Natl Park Tour - 3 States !!!
Review of: 3-Day National Parks Camping Tour: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon from Las Veg...
An absolutely wonderfully organized trip to the most beautiful regions of this part of the world. Our driver and guide Mike will take care of everything and everyone. Our family of four (including 2 children - 6 and 8 years) had a wonderful experience. We would never have seen so much in such a short time.
In 3 days - 5 Natl Parks in 3 States !!! Thank you so much.
Highly recommended
Everything was perfect! I highly recommend this tour!

Thank you for great trip!
Review of: 3-Day National Parks Camping Tour: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon from Las Veg...
A wonderful guide, and thanks again to the staff.
Thank you!
I am interested in visiting the national park and visiting the magnificent scenery. I participated in this tour company camp for the first time in 4 years this time.
The difference between here and another tour company is politeness.
Before joining the tour, you can respond carefully to detailed questions.
If you have anxiety, it is a good idea to ask questions in advance.
This time, we had a wonderful camp with people from many countries.
Meals, breaks, timing to put up a tent,
The trip of the trip is planned finely so that we can do our best and is perfect.
The sandwiches you make yourself are exceptional.
A pleasant dinner surrounding a campfire will be a lifetime treasure.
If you step out of the tent, you will be amazed at the spectacular view in front of you.
Camping grounds can be comfortable as free WiFi and shower are in place.
It will be more satisfying than participating by individuals.
A wonderful guide guide will make the trip more brilliant.
A wonderful person gathers in a wonderful environment.
The campers from all over the world have the same spirit and are very kind and kind.
It seems that the atmosphere of this tour is greatly affecting this.
To the Japanese people
I think that there are many people who are not good at English, but if there is a desire to participate even a little, I recommend you to take action.
The reception staff and guides as well as the travel companion will be gently to you.
Let's share the excitement.
And I hope that we can resume somewhere again.
Thank you veeeeeeeery much!!!
I have booked the first 3-day tour with camping in April and can highly recommend this tour! It was an amazing experience! My group had the pleasure of having an additional training tour guide with them. On the rides in the canyons one learns a lot about the history and facts of the individual areas with one driver straight through, which was very interesting. You should be aware that the tour is very packed with great places, but that also means that everything is very well planned. In the evening, all participants (without hotel guests) meet at the campsite and set up the tents under instruction, which is perfectly organized. In the evenings we have a great dinner together with a campfire. The next morning it means then break off tents, breakfasts and on to the next destination ... I'm 29 years old and was the only single traveler and not native English speaker on my bus. Nevertheless, I found a connection very quickly. The tour guides were always in a good mood, funny and very helpful. The age of the participants was very different, which was great, because everyone took care of everyone. Just a brilliant group, we had a great time! I can highly recommend the National Parks Tour 3 Days. You can feel that the tour guides enthusiasm! Thanks a lot to Jennie, Evan and Jon
Such an Amazing 3 days!
We just finished a 3 day trip to Zion, Bryce antelope & the Grand Canyon
we loved the tour and our guide Jon!
Well organised, a lot of time at the sights & such an easy tent set up anyone can do it.
Camping waking up to views of monument valley was amazing.
Our guide was passionate, informative & ensued everyone in the group was having a good time, lots of time to yourself and was a nice small group.
Will definitely do another trip!
Unforgettable trip Tour organized in detail with a guide, Evan, truly exceptional. The parks visited are unique places to see at least once in a lifetime, especially the Monument Valley. If you are lucky enough to see them on beautiful sunny days like us (the Grand Canyon was truly majestic). 5 stars for the two places where we slept, the awakening on Monument Valley. On our return we made a short stop on one of the heart points of Route 66, out of the program welcomed by everyone with great enthusiasm. Exceptional tour and fantastic guide. Highly recommended.
National Parks Tour From Las Vegas Every stop more fantastic.
Great trip and guide. Somewhat fatiguingly long days, so be prepared. But the views, history and Navajo stories and people made it all worthwhile.
From start to finish, this tour was memorable for all the right reasons. The tour is incredibly well organised. Our tour guides, Jennie and Evan, were knowledgeable, clear on meeting times & their expectations, helpful and generous. They approached each day with enthusiasm, never hesitating to answer our questions about national sites, geology, culture, weather forecast for the day and the days ahead so we were always adequately dressed and topping us up with water throughout the day while also sharing anecdotes of their experiences. Notes for the tour: - On most days (especially if you are camping) you will need to get up early (~6.30am). However, this is just so we can cover the distance to get to locations before major tour buses do (completely worth it) and you can catch up on sleep while on the drive. - At every destination there are activities which can range in intensity. It is your choice on what kind of climbs/walks you'd like to do so this is great for all ages. Our tour guide provided us with the information needed to choose the appropriate walk such as altitude, distance and time. - Catered lunches are usually sandwiches with cold meats and condiments. - Pit stops occur every 2-2.5hrs and is usually at a gas station. This provides you with time to grab a coffee, snack and anything else you may need. Our tour guide informed us of which stops had the best toilet facilities. - As I chose the lodging facilities, I would rate them between 3.5-4 stars. Each facility had warm showers, comfortable beds & heaters. There were also facilities to buy snacks, souvenirs and dinner within the hotel complex. - I would highly recommend doing the Antelope Canyon & traditional Najavo dinner as they are inexpensive but was by far for majority of the tour participants - Definitely bring a backpack containing a water bottle, sunscreen, wind jacket (as it gets very cold and windy at times), sneakers, jumper & clothes you can comfortably walk in if you intend on going on more arduous walks such as activewear. Thanks to Jennie and Evan for such a great time! I would definitely return the next time I am looking for a tour.
What an amazing tour! It was non-stop for 3-days and I feel like we saw everything. Our guide, Jennie, was AMAZING. She knew everything and treated everyone like a friend and really made our experience even better. From Zion to Bryce to Antelope to Horseshoe to Monument Valley, to the culmination of Grand Canyon, this tour was visually stunning and educational. And the camping locations were great, especially in Monument Valley and waking up to the sunrise. Thank you to the team for taking care of all the logistics and providing a safe, educational experience and a great itinerary. I can't wait to do another tour in the future.
The tour covers a lot of ground (and miles!), but it is very well-thought, so everything is done efficiently. Though it is intense, it doesn't feel rushed.
It was my first time camping, but the equipment provided (tents, ...) seemed very good to me.
The parks themselves are awesome (especially Antelope and Bryce).
Our guide, John, was fantastic: very kind, very helpful, and a mine of interesting info and trivia.
I would soo recommend this trip!
Everything from start to finish was exactly what we were looking for and couldn't fault a single thing.
We were picked up from Vegas and travelled everywhere! Car journeys were no longer than two hours each, at this time there was always a bathroom, stretch legs stop. The sights were incredible, Zion Park, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and all that was in between. We had plenty of time in each place, approx 1hr 30mins + depending on arrival times etc.
The campsites were clean and so was the equipment provided by Bindle Stiff. Recommend taking your own pillows and comforts if you're like me and don't quite like the whole rough it scene, head torch if you have one, a scarf as it can get cold on your face (the sleeping bags are super warm but faces not so much!). My boyfriend and I are NOT campers, but it was great fun and definitely a great way to experience everything properly.
Our tour guide, Evan, was brilliant! Friendly, knowledgeable and just a great guy! Nothing was too much trouble and he got us from A to B safely.
I couldn't recommend this trip more - we completed a trip survey at the end of our trip and everything was 5/5, nothing could be faulted!
I did the 3-day camping tour to Zion/Bryce, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon on October 2, 2017. Our driver and guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, friendly with a great sense of humor, punctual and professional. A lot of driving was involved but he helped to fill the long journeys with many interesting facts and historical information about the areas we were driving through. He kept the group interested and laughing with his stories and jokes.
I was a little worried about doing a 3-day camping trip with a group of complete strangers but Jon made everyone feel at ease. He gave us a printed itinerary and was very organized. He gave us tips on the best hikes we could do given the time limits at each location.
Lower Antelope Canyon was the highlight of my trip; the formations and colors were surreal. The hoodoos at Zion were stunning. I was a little disappointed with Bryce and Grand Canyon but maybe I would have enjoyed them more if we had more time to explore.
This was a highly memorable trip where I checked off several items from my bucket list. I recommend this camping trip.
The 3 day Winter Tour of of Grand Canyon, Monument Valley & Zion National Park was thoroughly enjoyable, well organised and our tour guide John was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had ample time at various stops to be able to look around and the tour fitted well into our holiday schedule when longer tours were no longer available to us. Antelope Creek was amazing and a must if you get the option - a photographers dream! The Grand Canyon was amazing and Monument Valley quite something else. Walking in Zion Park was like being in another world - vast high cliffs and beautiful nature.
From start to finish the tour was excellent and we couldn't fault it as a way of seeing so much in the space of three days. Our small bus (14 passengers) was clean and comfortable and the tour well paced, considering the miles travelled and the adequate amount of time allowed for at each site. We did not camp and our accommodation on each of the two nights was very good. Our tour director was amazing - highly professional, knowledgeable, highly competent, pleasant and courteous. Quite remarkable all she had to do in three days. An excellent tour which we would readily recommend.
You Have to Take This Tour! We booked this tour as part of a holiday to the USA. Although the Summer tour would have had longer daylight hours and a few more sights, the timing of the winter tour suited us better. The hotels were quaint and nice and quiet, within walking distance of everything we needed. The staff were absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide Jenni was super friendly and very knowledgeable. She was a great driver also which put my mind at ease. All the sites visited were amazing. If you have the time I'd do the longer tour so you can spend more time at each location, but if you're doing a flying visit, try this one. It's worth every dollar!
Amazing trip, well organized and great tour guide!
Everyone who wants to make a quick trip and see as much as possible - this is your chance! We saw so many beautiful places in such a short amount of time, but we still had enough time to explore. Great experience!
We can only support the positive comments left by other reviewers. For info, we did the same 3 day tour as Matthew v has posted on recently.
Not a lot to add to his comments about the itinerary really. Our guide (Cory) was fab. She looked after all the travellers and I like that she rotated the seats in the van as some seats had more leg room than others. As has been noted, there is a lot of driving but plenty of wonderful scenery to keep you alert!
So many highlights. How do you compare Bryce to Monument Valley to the GC? It was one marvel after another! I also have to say we found the trip exceptional value for money. For us it was great to switch the phone off and relax, but if you can't do without the tour guide had every connector available to keep phones charged.
A couple of pointers:
1. Of course the trip comes down to who you are with. We had 12 others and were the only couple. A real United Nations group but we all got on well. Just gravitate to the people you like.
2. Make sure you understand this is not glamping if you camp. You put up your tents and make your own breakfast. We enjoyed that part but make sure you take a blow-up pillow and towel.
3. Ask to go via Route 66 on the way back to Vegas. That was an unexpected treat. Real old time America.
On a final note, we sadly had our helicopter ride over the GC cancelled due to fog. Bindlestiff managed the refund and did this swiftly. Indeed I have to say all pre and post correspondence with them were excellent and they speedily answered any questions we had.
And if you are not sure on whether to do a trip - just go for it. You won't regret it! Brilliant!!!
I can't recommend this tour enough the guide was a rock star the tour sights just incredible only wish we had more time to enjoy them all. And waking up to Monument Valley as your view just sensational
Loved it! This tour is fully packed with all the great parks around Utah and Arizona, including the Grand Canyon and, my favorite, Bryce Canyon.
The pickup point was the well-known Stratosphere hotel in Las Vegas. Pretty early in the morning, but that was necessary as there was a lot to do that day. Day 1 was Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon.
I loved how Cory, our guide, already had maps available of the parks. The maps were coloured, pointing out several hiking options, together with our meeting point. We were free to do whatever we wanted, as long as we were back at the designated meeting point.
Of course it's impossible to do all the hikes in Zion and Bryce in one day, but you will still get a good feel and impression of these amazing parks when you do the Emerald pools hike and the Navajo loop trail.
I was lucky to to do this tour with great people from around the world. Everyone was nice and helpful, making this one of my best camping experiences. The camp fire after dinner was a really great idea, something we really deserved after all the hiking and setting up our tents!
The second day was also fully packed with great things: Antelope Canyon (which was optional, but really a must-see) and Monument Valley. Did I mention a great traditional dinner? A nice and pleasant surprise :)
At the end of the day we had to set up our tents at one of the nicest campsites in Monument Valley. Waking up to see the sun rise behind the 'mittens' was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
On the 3rd day we went to the Cameron trading post. A nice opportunity to buy some cool souvenirs and snacks. The focus of the day was the Grand Canyon. Together with several others I did the South Rim Trail. What an amazing view!
Between the hikes/parks Cory gave us a lot of interesting information about the area, the people and the parks. Cory made sure we had plenty of restroom breaks and she always checked that the van was comfortable for everyone. In total we drove about 1844 kilometres, so I am glad she did.
The 3 days camping were one of our best experiences in the US!
Our tour guide Jon was well organized, helpful, funny and gave us information about the history, inhabitants, vegetation and other things in the areas we went trough. He was also happy to answer all the questions that the group had.
We had all the camping supplies that we needed and the tents were easy to set up. Also, the food was simple but something for everyone.
The amount of stops was perfect and we saw lot on these days.
We highly recommend it.
This is by far the best tour i have ever taken (and i have taken many). We booked and received an instant tour confirmation with FAQ's, packing, list, what to expect etc. We had some questions and our emails ere responded to with amazing promptness. I recommend this tour anyone and everyone and will be doing so! We visited so many awesome parks in 3 days yet had plenty of time to explore each and every one and never not once felt rushed. Food is really good- BBQ on night one and a traditional Navajo Taco meal on night two. The view to wake up to from your tent on day 3 is out of this world. Great guides, great tour great company.
We booked a private 2D1N tour of horseshoe and lower antelope canyon in Sept 2017. Didn't know what to expect but was totally impressed by our driver cum guide - JON.
His knowledge of the terrain, culture, and entertaining style made the arduous long drive so bearable and fun! Jon was very particular about safety, especially when we were so excited about the magnificent views of horseshoe bends. He made sure we were safe while busy snapping photos away. Jon was well equipped when we needed jackets and charger, In the most timely way!
The highlight of the trip was walking the lower antelope canyon. We had a wonderful Navarjo guide who had so much knowledge about the canyon.
Overall we like to say this is an item off our bucket list.
This is a wonderful tour, taking you to unbelievable places. Friendly, well organized and expertly guided. Everything fits perfectly. Each of the three days was packed with amazing scenery. Mini bus is comfortable, lunches are provided and the optional evening meals are memorable experiences as well. We have enjoyed loads of fantastic holidays and this was a match for any of them.
This was three days that I won't forget, we had Mike as our guide and everything else as he was very informative, helpful and friendly.
Everyday we had new sights and natural wonders to see whether it was Zion NP and Bryce Canyon NP on day one, Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley on day two and the Grand Canyon on day 3.
Everything was very well run and the camping facilities from the tents to the shower/toilet facilities were top notch.
Thanks to Mike and the people I shared this experience with for an unforgettable three days.
I cannot fault any aspect of our incredible 3 days on the tour ( August 7th - 10th ), except to say it ended all too soon. I expected our tour guide Jon to be knowledgeable, but he was so much more than that. Full of wit, fun and good humour he had so many great stories and insights that time in the van was a pleasure and added to the whole experience. We were a real mixed group of 12, small family groups and couples, with not much idea between us on tent pitching, but somehow Jon kept us on track and to schedule.
Any superlatives about locations and what we saw have been used in other reviews and I agree with it all. Having started as strangers we ended as friends and for me the highlight was camping in Monument Valley. I still can't quite believe my own photos!
Great guide, great tour, worth every penny..
We did the 3-day trip from Las Vegas and visited Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. Our tour guide, Joel was exceptionally knowledgeable and the whole experience was unforgettable. Thank you!
My son (10 years old) and I had such an amazing experience on our tour. Everything exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Jennie, was wonderful. We really could not have had a better time, thanks to her. The scenery is breathtaking, the tour was comfortable and fun. Jennie was so knowledgeable about the areas we drove through and explained the geology and the historical aspects of everything. After this experience, I am seriously considering booking the 7 day Canadian Rockies tour for next summer. Thanks again!
Worth every minute of it!!!! Jenni our guide was great. A wonderful person and guide.
This tour is Highly recommended, you visit 5 spectacular places in 3 days. Loved it.
Jenny, our tour guide for the 3 day trip around the Grand Canyon, was great! I would highly her. Very professional, complete knowledge of history and surroundings, amongst other things.
Thanks Jenny.
Just did a 3 day Canyon trip incorporating Bryce, Antelope & Grand Canyons plus monument valley.
Jennie our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful., pictures of these places do not do it justice you really have to go there.
I cannot believe we did so much in so little time! And yet, it still did not feel rushed. The sites were spectacular, as was our tour guide, Jennie. She had tremendous care for our group. I highly recommend this tour - it's amazing.
What can we say?!?! This tour did NOT disappoint, but more than met our expectations. We felt like we were on our own version of the Amazing Race. Our tour guide, Jon, was professional, approachable, knowledgeable, organized, welcoming and FUN!!!!! He set the tone for the trip. Our travel companions-9 in our group-were 4 families who were strangers at the start of the journey and like family by the end of the 3 days. Highlights of the trip.....the tour included stops in: Zion, Bryce, Antelope Slot Canyon, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. The highlights for us were...ALL stops...especially Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley. We have been to the Grand Canyon 3times prior to this trip so we knew what to expect there. It NEVER disappoints. We opted for the hotel lodging accommodations vs the camping and the hotels were clean and comfortable. We were able to get a good night's sleep each evening after long, tiring, hot, EXCITING days of hiking, touring/sight seeing. When I was researching such tours, we chose this specific tour because it met our budget and schedule....BUT...the reviews I read about this tour persuaded me to choose this particular one. The reviews were glowing and I have to agree.
We had the BEST experience - worth every penny! Jon was such a fab and fun guide! He treated us like family and took great care of me and my daughter. His knowledge of the area is amazing - he talked to us the entire time, giving us complete history of the Indian tribes, the cities, the geology of everywhere we visited, and had some great stories to tell. He tailored the trip a bit to meet our requests - we saw more than we could have imagined. Jon was able to get us into Lower Antelope Canyon before it opened, so our tour was just 4 of us, first thing in the morning. We hiked trails through Zion and the Grand Staircase Escalante that we never would have found on our own. This was definitely the way to go!
Totally blown away by the 3 day trip to Zion/Bryce & Canyon with Mike Brown. He totally looked after us, educated us with his amazing knowledge, entertained us with stories and made sure we had value from every second from pick up to drop off. It was the most incredible experience and I can't recommend highly enough.
Toured Zion, Bryce, GC. Jenny, tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and very accommodating. Saw much more than was expected and enjoyed every minute. Antelope canyon was amazing, though I had never heard of it before. Great value, you won't regret taking this trip!
I recently went on a 3 day tour of some pretty spectacular National Parks with Bindlestiff Tours. Given the limited time, we managed to visit some incredible places that included Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon. Each is so different from the other and well worth a visit (or many!) Our tour leader, Joel was an excellent guide who shared his passion for the back country, knowledge about the land, its history and people and always had quotations from literature and poetry that were relevant to the region. He played his guitar while the group sat around the campfire and shared his stories and insights about the geographical landscape, the native people and anecdotes and stories about the places we visited - things you won't find very easily (or at all) in a guide book! The van is comfortable, camp sites are great (amenities and views!) and I'd recommend all the additional activities that come with the tour. You won't regret having a meal with a Navajo family or flying over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter!
This 3 day tour took us to places we would not have seen by ourselves including Zion and Bryce Canyons, Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley and also the Grand Canyon. Mike's extensive knowledge of the history, geology and landscapes found in these areas really made the tour for us. This is a fast paced tour seeing a lot in 3 days, however Mike had everything well organised to give us ample time to explore at our own pace in each place. The sights we saw were absolutely spectacular and the local people we met added further to our experience. We will fondly remember our time in this part of the United States.
I went on the 3-day national park tour to Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon in May and it was one of the best things I've ever done. Absolutely amazing itinerary that packed so many things into 3 days without it feeling too rushed. If you have limited time but want to do as many things as possible do this tour! If you are looking to do the big hikes in the national parks like Angels Landing or the Narrows you won't have time so keep that in mind. Jenny was our guide and was so incredibly patient and well organised, really appreciate everything she did for us. Camp sites were great and the included food was also really good. would recommend this tour to anyone! 5 STARS!!
This is a quick tour where we got to see so much, so is perfect for those with limited time. The places we visited were amazing and beautiful. Zion Bryce Antelope Monument Valley and Grand Canyons in 3 days. Our tour guide Joel was very knowledgable and interesting as well as a good safe driver. He made the trip easy and there was only 8 in our group too. I give this trip 5 stars but be under no illusion this is not glamping but basic camping. The tents are roomy but basic. The bedding is warm but the mattress is thin. Being summer I used the sleeping bag as a pillow as no pillows are provided and i slept in the sleeping sheet provided. I packed some thermals which helped as the temperature got down to about 15 degrees Celsius overnight then back to 30 by 9am! The camp sites are quite basic with great shower blocks. This is great as you are covered in desert dust by the end of each day. Food provided was great but again basic. Dont expect gourmet food. Its camping! Joels guitar and songs were a nice touch around the campfire at night. Sorry to go on about the basics but it is important to know all the details and not expect too much around the camping. The sites seen more than make up for this and you are so exhausted by the evening from this site seeing that you sleep well. Also dont expect to linger all day at each site. This is a quick 3 day trip with lots packed in. You could not see this much amazing scenery driving yourself so sit back and enjoy this awesome trip.
Fantastic tour! We have travelled extensively and taken lots of tours and Bindlestiff Tours is by far the best tour we have taken to date! Pre tour info and communication was professional and prompt. The tour itself was planned extremely well in order to maximise our time in each park. The drives were informative, entertaining and scenic thanks to our fabulous guide Rachel Frampton. I can't rate this company highly enough. We camped and everything was great- great campsites with amazing views from the Monument Valley campground of the sunrise. This tour is well priced and departures are guaranteed. Being a small group adventure- max 14 guests meant we had a really personalized and flexible tour. We all left the tour as close friend! Thank you!
the tour is great for ppl with limited time to visit many places in 3 days. the view of each park is breathtaking. the camp spots are well chosen with hot shower and toilets facilities. our guide Joe was well knowledgable and informative about the history of the parks visited. the itenary is exactly as per the tour describtion. highly recommended tour.
My husband and I had plans to be in the Las Vegas for a meeting and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to take in some of the national parks in the area. I spent endless hours trying to put together an itinerary without any idea of how close the sites were to each other and the Grand Canyon ( my one requirement). I stumbled upon this tour and it was the perfect solution to my dilemma. We traveled about 1100 miles in three days, didn't have to drive, spent just the right amount of time in each location and every detail was taken care of. We elected he lodging option, instead of camping and were provided nice, if non-luxurious rooms. The van was comfortable, our traveling companions were great and our guide, Mike, was fabulous. The trip was one that I will never forget-one more item off my bucket list. I am already looking at other trips. I highly recommend them.
The expertise of the tour operator meant the 3 day tour, though hectic, enabled us to see so much without worrying about the logistics. We took the lodging option which as 70+ year olds was ideal and we didn't miss out on the activities of the camping group but were much more comfortable! Our guide, Jon, was helpful, efficient and knowledgable and he had some great anecdotes which gave us a real feel of life in the Wild West of Utah. Don't miss out Antelope canyon - sensational photo opportunities with excellent guide although the 45 minute wait in a temp. of 100' F was challenging for us Brits. Each place visited was special with its own unique character. We loved the hikes recommended by John at each site. We were a mixed group of ages and nationalities but we all got on well and it suited our liking of a small group tour.
We recently had a wonderful week touring Zion, Bryce, arches, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon. The tour was expertly planned and implemented by our tour guide, Mike Brown, who gave is a magic insight into these wonderful sights. We recommend it to anyone but make sure you get Mike as your guide.
Just returned from this tour with our 13 year old granddaughter and friend. We were thrilled with the trip. Although there was a lot of driving, necessary to see the sites advertised, Joe our tour leader was an excellent driver and host. We stayed in hotels for the 2 nights, others camped. Our experience was wonderful. Hotels were better then anticipated. We will rcherish the memories for years to come.
Our guide (Joe) set the tone for the trip. He was upbeat and knowledgeable and kept us both informed and entertained. Must add Antelope canyon and the grand canyon helicopter ride which were great. I also especially loved the Monument Valley jeep ride and thought our guide Duffy was great.
Fantastic!!!! Our guide Joe was superb, our travel companions were great. The whole experience was beyond my expectations. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Next time I will opt for a 1 week trip. It was the best travel experience I've had in years. Joe and all the other guides we had made the trip.
Traveled solo and would recommend the trip. Of course the tour is breath taking, but the real surprise came from bonding with the tour group. Tour guide had excellent information, was well prepared, and quirky. Not having to worry about logistics was what made the trip relaxing
"Beautiful adventure." It's only 3 days but with intense emotions you can see the parks featured with 2/3 hours of freedom for each park. I did it in the tent although I am not an experienced camper but it was a great experience and you are in contact with nature and sleep in a front curtain overlooking the Valley Monuments and seeing dawn has no price. Everything is great from the tourist guide, from new knowledge to people from all over the world. Thank you!
Had the most amazing three days! Got to see Zion, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon in 3 days. Although we covered a large distance, it did not feel rushed, and we had plenty of time to explore each location. Our tour guide Jon was great, so knowledgable and fun and friendly, as well as well organised. The highlight for me was camping in Monument Valley and waking up to the sun rising behind the monuments. Definitely memories for life!
Short version: loved the trip, tour guide Joe was awesome, camping accommodations were great, food was good, would 100% recommend this trip.
Long version: I will admit, I was very nervous to book this trip for several reasons, one being that we were using camping equipment provided by the company and also not knowing all the details of the trip.
My husband and I took this trip together and had plans to stay in Vegas for 3 nights following the tour, so we had 1 large carry-on bag with our "vegas" things and each of us had a backpack with all of our camping/hiking gear. I was worried we would have too much baggage but it was the perfect amount. The van/bus had a trailer with all the camping supplies and enough for room for storage of the extra luggage. Getting started from the stratosphere was easy. From there, we headed to Zion. The entire tour consists of driving 1-2 hours at a time from place to place. There are plenty of chances for bathroom breaks and time to stretch out. During the drive Joe gave tons of information about the areas we were headed and some fun facts about Vegas, never a dull moment. Once at Zion, we were given a map and a few ideas of short hikes that we could choose from. I will admit we were only allowed a couple hours to hike which was somewhat disappointing but given the short time frame of the trip I completely understand the schedule. After Zion, we headed to Bryce to hike for a couple more hours and then camped about 30 min away from there at a KOA. The camp ground was very nice with good facilities. The camping gear supplied by the tour was clean and easy to use. Dinner the first night was an optional BBQ for $10-12 per person that was very tasty. The next morning we ate a quick breakfast provided by the guide: cereal, muffins, fruit. The next stop was antelope canyon (my personal favorite). It was an extra $30 per person and worth every penny. After that we drove through the Navajo land and took a 4x4 trip through monument valley guided by a Navajo. It was very informational and one of the most memorable parts of the trip. We set up camp at this same location overlooking the valley and the "mittens". After that we spent another $10-12 per person to eat "Navajo tacos" at a local's home. Amazing!The next day we were off to the south rim of the Grand Canyon which involved a 3 hr ride there and from Grand Canyon back to Vegas another 5 hrs. We had about 3-4 hours to walk around the rim of the canyon, not much hiking inside the canyon.
This trip is one I will never forget. I really have no complaints! If you are wanting to see everything in a short amount of time, it's the one for you. If you want more time to hike check out their 7 day tour. Thanks to tour operator and Joe! We loved every minute :)
Well what a three days we had!!! all aboard with Jon our Expert Guide at 7.15am on day one of to Zion National park what a beauty she was we had sufficient time to catch the shuttle and hike or just meander around taking in the scenery and snapping some memories. Then of to take a look at lake Powell and to finish the night at Bryce Canyon and camping. The camp grounds were very tidy and clean and the equipment supplied was clean and well maintained with a sleeping bag insert for each user. Day 2 breakfast pack up camp for Antelope Canyon ( worth every cent paid and more) we had a brilliant young Navajo guide who happened to be studding photography. What a bonus!!! And to finish the day at Monument valley after a Navajo guided jeep tour a camp on the valley's edge an amateur photographer's dream. Day 3 big day of driving of to Grand Canyon we did the extra of a 50 min Helicopter ride a once in a lifetime breath taking event. A stop for an early dinner at old burger joint in the old parts of Route 66 Arizona. We all had a blast. Jon was a brilliant guide with amazing knowledge of the area travelled both past and present. I could not recommend Jon and the tour highly enough once in a lifetime dream. Just Brilliant!!!
We made the three-day trip at the end of April and loved it! The tour was really awesome:
Zion and Bryce Canyon on the first day, Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley on the second day and on the way back, the last day, the Grand Canyon and Route 66.
The endless expanses and the many natural vistas are just a must if you are in Vegas or surroundings.
These Tours are a very good way to see all this in this short time. During the tour you want to have more time at the individual stations, but in the end it is completely ok, otherwise it would not be possible in the three days to make this tour.
Our guide John was really cool, he gave us a lot of additional information and much of the nature, the people and the animals told us and as well as possible answers every question and fulfilled every wish.
The provided equipment (tent, sleeping bags, etc.) was perfect. We had our own sleeping bags, but there were additional sleeping bags from the guide if needed. Breakfast was cereal, muffins, fruit, yogurt, tea, coffee and orange juice, lunch was sandwiches/plate deli style and in the evening we took the BBQ and the Navajo dinner. The food at the Navajos is really very good and recommended!
The camping-variant is absolutely recommendable, as you have in the Monument Valley in particular a beautiful view from the camp on the sunrise.
There is also on each campsite clean toilet facilities and showers and hot water.
Highly recommended!
I was a solo traveler on the three day tour and i chose to camp instead of lodge. Excellent leadership with Jenny, appropriate time between rest stops. Comfortable van, new tents with air mattress. Provided extra water, the level of outdoor activities were not strenuous for a reasonable fit person. The tour and dinner with the Navaho family was delightful. The beauty and awe inspiring nature of the scenery goes without saying! Take the helicopter ride! I would do it again, with Jenny. In short i had a blast!
The tour was great and so was Mike our guide. The landscape was amazing and Mike was constantly giving us great info about all the landmarks we passed. The only negatives I am able to come with were that the tents were a bit dusty which aggravated my allergies and the dinner was not included in the price. For the price however, it was a great tour which packed a lot into 3 days.
The tour was great and Mike was a fantastic tour guide! Bryce Canyon and Antelope Canyon are the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen. I am not huge on camping but the campgrounds were very clean and despite a little rain, camping was a pleasant experience (especially the sunrise over Monument Valley). Mike was very knowledgeable, helpful and extremely well organized. He made the trip a lot of fun for everyone. This tour works well for solo travelers too: tents are for two and there were plenty of solo travelers to share a tent with. Plus, This is one of the few companies that don't penalize / charge extra for solo travelers. Overall, it was a fantastic trip. Definitely recommended!
What a great experience! Mike Brown guided and drove our group with expertise around some of the best scenery in the South West.The hotel accomodation was great and timetable, while busy, was managed very well. the whole tour went off without a hassle. Very pleased with the time spent with this tour.
Our tour guide Corey made this tour! We easily got settled in helping get the tents, dinner and lunch up. There were loads of little unexpected thoughtful extras for example dinner cooked by native americans and stopping off at a quirky place on route 66, and Corey worked her bum off to make it perfect. There was enough time to do everything and never a dull moment. Corey knew her stuff and made us laugh. All the stops were better than expected. Especially monument valley where we camped looking straight at the sun set like we had hired the whole park!! Well worth the money can't think of any complaints. They asked for $55-$60 tip per person so maybe bear that in mind. Great value for money and would never be as well organised if done yourself! Get it booked!
Medium paced, well balanced hiking tour for Zion, Bryce Canyon, Antelope, Monument Park, South Rim Grand Canyon and historic route 66. Recommendable for avid hikers and non sporty type as well. Mike Brown first of all made this trip very much enjoyable and memorable. He is very friendly, informative, approachable, laid back kind of guy who narrated stories rather some legends (lol) making the long scenic extra fun. Pack lunches were self serving. Lodges were perfect as it is spacious and cozy. National parks are clean, comfort stops are available (toilet and drinking water). Always follow Mike's advice for the trail hikes. Expect for stunning and breathtaking views. Navajo guide for Monument Park - that guy is amazing. Very helpful and informative. Definitely getting another tour once I go back to US. Awesome guys keep up your remarkable company and good work.
Tour of National parks in Utah. It is very hard to pick the favorite site since all were terrific. If pressed I would say my favorite stop was Monument Valley. Room view the best, great food at the View hotel. Nothing better than looking out on the Muffins, all arranged by Rachel. Her knowledge of the history, geology and general historical background was A++.
Rachel, our tour guide was absolutely fantastic! her efficiency, energy, knowledge of the parks and the "out of the way " places we visited was wonderful. Her sense of humor was just an added bonus! She was engaging and kept us interested at every turn. I can not imagine a better trip from Las Vegas through Sion, Bryce, Capital Reefs, The Arches, Canyonlands, Antelope Canyon, Monuments, Painted Desert, Grand Canyon within seven days...additionally touching on so many hidden spots along the way. Our accomodations were perfect . You also will feel completely at ease with her driving skills and the comfort of the small bus.
In short, the perfect tour of the National Parks in Utah and Arizona.
A comprehensive tour which included hiking, educational comments by our guide Rachel,small side trips and excellent lodging. EVERYTHING was taken care of.
The sights were magnificent and certainly enhanced by the very well-executed itinerary! A plus all around! I look forward to other opportunities to travel.
This tour is amazing!!! We saw the most beautiful scenery that I ever imagined. Antelope Canyon is a must! My husband and I are both in our 60's and were a little apprehensive about the camping on the ground...however, NOT A PROBLEM. Our guide, Joe, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful on the tour. We highly recommend this tour!!!
We toured with Joe Olguin as our guide on April 10 thru the 12th. You are truly blessed as a company to have a professional such as Joe leading your tours. He was extremely thorough, very congenial and always concerned about the comfort and safety of his passengers. He always kept us informed of the upcoming events, gave us outstanding advise about when and where to enjoy the places where we toured and continually queried us regarding our needs and comfort. Joe is a credit to your organization and we felt very fortunate to have him as out leader.
Would you please forward this email to Joe with the photos of the people on this tour. He took these pictures for us, however, I failed to get his email so I could forward them to him.
Thank you and keep up the good tours. We would certainly recommend your company to others and would tour with you again if the situation presents itself.
Camping tour of Zion National Park, Bryce,Grand and Antelope Canyons, and Monument Valley was amazing!
Particular thanks to Mike Brown, our tour leader; very knowledgable, full of enthusiasm and personable.
Highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see some of the magnificence that is America!
Great, international group!
Many breathtaking scenic delights were covered, and the guide was enthusiastic and informative, and a great companion. It is an ambitious tour, taking in many important sights, such as Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon, which are great distances apart from each other. Well worth it, though. A lifetime's ambition has been fulfilled.
100% satisfied! The 3-day trip will become a great memory in my life. Thank you Mike! Highly recommended!
1)
Mr Mike Brown, the guide, is knowledgeable and a good story teller. He
was so informative about every scenery spot as if we were having
geography and American history lectures. I enjoyed it a lot! He
definitely made the trip a fantastic experience.
2)
Bindlestiff's arrangement was appreciated. When it knew that for the 1st
night Bryce Canyon would be -2 degree celsius, It upgraded us from
camping to lodge for free.
3) The 3D2N trip let us see Zion
National Park, Bryce National Park, National Monument, Antelope Canyon,
Grand Canyon, Route 66, etc. It covered a lot yet not in a rush pace.
Stunning and spectacular views!
4) Hot showers and flushing
toilets were at camp sites (Bryce Canyon run by KOA) and National
Monument)! The camping gear and sleeping bags were clean.
5) 1 guide to 13 of us (from the US, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Korea and HK). Cozy and warm group.
In May 2016, I took the 3-day camping trip in National Parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon from Las Vegas with my older daughter (22 years). And what should I say? It was just a dream! Just our thing: hiking in impressive nature, one wow experience after another, everything perfectly organized. Everything was thought of. Our guide Mike was a changing lexicon - no question remained open. I highly recommend this tour. Is defending every cent!
We went on this tour in 2015 and I have never forgotten it. I couldn't pick my favourite part. I loved Monument Valley because I am an old film nut and to be there as the moon set behind the mesas was extraordinary. Antelope Canyon another special highlight, well they were all highlights.
Where shall I start! We chose to do the 3-day lodging tour, over camping as the weather was starting to turn a little chilly in the evenings, being Mid-late October. We arrived early on the first day and immediately set off for Zion National Park, which was amazing. We then headed off to Bryce Canyon to watch the sunset that evening, which was the highlight of my trip! The following day, after breakfast, we set off to Antelope Canyon, which was incredible. I took some of the best pictures of my life there! Antelope Canyon was followed by Monument Valley, where we spent the evening on a jeep tour of the valley, followed by dinner of traditional Navajo Taco whilst watching the sun set over the valley. The next morning we were up before dark as we didn't want to miss the sunrise over the valley, a truly spectacular site, and one I won't be forgetting in a hurry! After breakfast and loading up the van, we then headed off to the Grand Canyon, where we walked a section of the south rim, followed by a helicopter tour, which should be on everybody's bucket list, highly recommended! Our tour guide Justin was a top guy, really knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating and an asset to the company. His dialogue along the way was very informative and helped pass the time. Big thanks to the Tour team for a holiday of a lifetime!
I chose the 3-day camping tour to see Bryce and Zion NP, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, and Grand Canyon and I wasn't disappointed. Our tour leader, Justin, was professional, very knowledgeable, passionate with what he does, funny, and accommodating with everyone's questions and different needs. Having these qualities as a tour leader is important for it can make or break a tour participant's individual experience.
The National Parks are all great, not enough time to do a bit more hikes due to time constraints but was understandable because lots of interesting places were packed in 3days. Each place we visited were all amazing but the Monument Valley experience was the highlight for me. Waking up and seeing the break of dawn with silhouettes of the buttes was just amazing and breathtaking. I definitely recommend(ed) this tour to my friends and to everyone here.
We had a fabulous time. The canyons topped our expectations. The organization, logistics, timing and guide's knowledge and enthusiasm were superb. Thank you!
We were the three-day National Park Tour. It involved covering a lot of miles on parks and a relatively tight schedule. Mike, our guide, kept everything moving and was so knowledgeable about everything that the long stretches between parks was kept interesting when it could have been nap time. I have already recommended this tour to a number of friends. Loved it. Mike was the best.
I went on this trip with my brother and his wife in mid-September. We selected this tour because it visited all the places we wanted to see. We found the experience to be outstanding and we highly recommend. We were on a tour bus with 11 people total, almost all from outside the US, and we quickly made friends. Our tour guide, Justin, was knowledgeable, competent, and attentive, making the experience enjoyable. He kept us on schedule without rushing people and gave us lots of background information on the sites we visited. We went to Zion, Bryce, and Antelope canyons, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon within a packed three-day trip. We especially want to thank the staff who located one of my relatives lost wallet the morning after the tour, then quickly delivered it to their hotel in Las Vegas. What great service! We highly recommend this tour.
What an amazing camping experience! (Even for a novice camper.) The tour is fast paced, fitting a lot of activity in a short amount of time. Our guide, Mandy, was very organized and informative. The beautiful landscape of this open country lends itself to outstanding photography. I loved Antelope Canyon, but my favorite site was Monument Valley on the second night. The open jeep tour really gives you a unique perspective of the open countryside. The traditional Navajo meal that evening was delicious. The best part was waking up that morning on the rim with the sunrise over the open landscape and the buttes in the foreground. The whole experience has a very peaceful, grounded feeling. An added bonus that I wasn't expecting was the interaction with the international group. People from so many countries worked together setting up and breaking down the tents. I would definitely recommend this tour for any age group
I took the 3-day tour to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon.
Mike, our tour guide, was great. Everything was very well organized and he was helpful with all we needed.
All sceneries were breathtaking, especially the sunset in Bryce Canyon and the sunrise in Monument Valley.
I highly recommend this tour.
Awesome time with my girlfriend and mother. Jenn is a very experienced and hardworking tour guide. Everything we experienced was amazing. My mother made sure she took a card from Jennie so that she can be sure to book another trip in the near future soon. This was much more than just a sightseeing tour. We learned a lot about history, culture, geology and much more. This tour was educational as well as entertaining. By day two of the trip, we felt like we were on a road trip amongst friends and I think that was the design of the tour.
The most outstanding sites in 3 days from Las Vegas: Zion, Bryce Canyon, view Lake Powell, Antelope (optional, but well worth to visit), Monument Valley and Grand Canyon (south rim). Excellent organization with well-established journeys of up to 2 hours, alternating with visits/free time on sites with tips to make the most of the walks to do. We opted for the hotel's version: first night in a hotel room with new part comfort 3/4 stars. Second night Goulding's Historic Lodge-room with a private balcony and view of Monument Valley to witness the fabulous sunrise !!! A picture engraved in living memory. A really good choice Do not hesitate to pay the little extra for the two dinners offered (a bbq and a Navajo meal). My English is limited, I have not fully appreciated the comments of our driver / guide, Jake, but this one was very knowledgeable, friendly, and seemed to share with us the pleasure of discovery. Would recommend if you have time. AMAZING!
The three-day Zion/Bryce/Antelope/Grand Canyon tour with an overnight in Monument Valley is not only huge on "wow" but really well organised. Great (and copious) commentary from our driver. So much packed into three days. Was a real highlight of our time in the Southwest and blessed relief from the profligacy of Las Vegas.
Highly recommended tour. We were hesitant thinking it was more targeted at low budget travellers but we'd been staying in 4-5 star hotels and still found this a comfortable trip. We chose the lodging option. The best parts are - great itinerary seeing the absolute highlights of the area in the three days; good hikes that most people would be able to do; comfortable vehicle and small group; well organised and professional; great tour guide; everything made easy; quite independent if you choose. The 50 minute helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon is an absolute must. The Antelope Canyon option is definitely worth it. Justin was a great tour guide - calm, accountable, professional, deeply knowledgable, caring and accommodating. This tour is incredible value for money. We would not have changed one thing.
The tour was really well organized. The guide, Mike, was nice, helpful and knowledgeable. It was the good group size, and all the other people make the experience even better. And of course, the landscapes were unforgettable.
The 3 day tour starts about 7.30 so we were on the road early to begin our adventure.
Maximum of 14, so easy comfort.
Visited Zion and Brice National Parks on our first day ----great.
Set up our Glamping tents for the night, then relaxed and enjoyed a delicious dinner before sitting,or standing around a camp fire.
Day 2, after breakfast set off for our trip , which included Antelope Canyon--- unbelievable , you go down the step ladders into this fabulous place.A photographers wish list, after taking so many photos, with the help of the local guide, we walked out of the Canyon to enjoy our lunch.
Later, we drove to Monument Valley went on a jeep ride with a local guide , then settled -- after setting up camp to watch the sunset.
Watching the sun the next morning was again memorable.
We stopped off on our way back to Vegas, via Route 66, enjoyed the stop.
Arrived back in Vegas about 8.30 pm, so exhausted but very happy.
Our Tour Guide
Jennie Dufour was amazing, would go anywhere with her, she is so knowledgeable , and willing to go the extra yard for everyone.
I booked this three days tour for my parents and they couldn't be more happy! They enjoyed the hotels, the food, the competence of the guide, the people and the beautiful places included in the tour. They said they can't wait to be back in California to book another tour.
Communication between me and the organization was smooth and fast, I really appreciate their help!! Thanks
Fantastic tour, it started off in beautiful Zion and got better and better with every national park visited! All well organised and our guide Justin was great!
We wanted to do as much as possible but we only had 4 days, booking Bindlestiff tours was the smartest thing I could have done. My 15 yr old son and I did the 2 night 3-day tour of Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon, we were lucky to have Joe as our guide who was super knowledgeable about the area and attractions and really fun and entertaining. We also ended up with a super fun, energetic group which made it even more of a blast! Camping at Monument valley was a definite highlight, the camp site faces the Buttes, so sunset and sunrise were out of this world. I'm glad we booked the helicopter tour of Grand Canyon, that was our last activity and pretty much the cherry on the sundae. And I'm really glad we chose the camping option, Joe made sure we were well taken care of and sleeping under the stars in the desert is an experience we'll never forget. If we make it back out there I would love to try one of their longer tours, our 3 days just flew by. Would heartily recommend Bindlestiff to anyone considering doing a tour of the National Parks, we had an outstanding time, thanks, ( and Joe )!!!
I had such a great time on this tour. It was 3 days, 2 night camping whirlwind tour of Zion, Bryce, antelope canyon, monument valley and Grand Canyon and it was an amazing few days. Although you are only at the parks for a couple of hours you get to see the best parts! I was lucky to have Joe as my tour guide and he is fun, so knowledgable and makes sure everyone is happy! The camping is great, especially camping at monument valley and watching the sunrise over it! Food was great and plenty of it - especially the Navajo tacos! The people I was lucky enough to be grouped with were energetic and so much fun so the whole trip for me was perfect! Would definately recommend!
"This tour offered amazing views and an unforgettable experience! The tour schedule is just as described and packs a lot in. Be prepared to be on the move constantly. For me, this was great, as I hate sitting around, but if you like a slower pace, follow their advice and take a 7 day tour which gives you more time at each location. Our guide, Justin, was fabulous! He was polite, knowledgeable, and an all around great guy! No tour is perfect, and I would have liked a nicer hotel on day one and a better place to eat lunch on day two, but it's all good. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything! Definitely recommend this company and would travel again with them.
We are a mature couple & were expecting to be the oldest on this fab trip but we were with a mixed age group. Met up with our very experienced guide,Jenny, and her accomplice, Alex, early on a Monday morning and introduced to the rest of our group. Our mini bus was clean, well maintained & pulled a trailer with all of our needs for the next 3 days(tents, food etc). Our first stop was Zion National Park where we parked and boarded the free shuttle bus. This stops off at numerous places along the road for the starts of walking routes. We did the Riverwalk. The next stop was Bryce Canyon, which technically is not a canyon, but WOW! what greeted us was the Hoodoos, a spectacular area of wind/weather eroded rock formations. Camping on the 1st night was just outside Bryce. 2nd day after breaking camp we travelled to Antelope Canyon via Glenn Valley Dam, which in itself is very interesting. Antelope Canyon is certainly a must see, absolutely wonderful. After picnic lunch we continued onto Monument Valley, our camp for the night overlooked the wonderful outcrops of huge rocks as seen on many a western film!. We toured the Valley with a Navajo guide who was quite entertaining. Stargazing at 3am was a magical experience. After breaking camp on the 3rd day we headed for the Grand Canyon South Rim. This again is a must see. It is beyond description except to say it's Awesome. Jenny was an excellent driver, very knowledgable guide & easy to get along with. Certainly recommend this tour, it's great!!!!
My girlfriend and I took the Death Valley national park tour as well as the 3 day national parks tour. Both were incredible. Friendly knowledgeable tour guides provided a wealth of knowledge throughout both tours. The organization and planning that goes into the 3 day tour is very impressive. The tour is designed so well that drive times are only 2 hours followed by extensive time in each park for walks and hikes. We arrived at Zion by lunchtime and were given a delicious pre made sandwich lunch with potato chips and fruit and had 3 hours to explore. Zion is beautiful and we got some amazing photos. Next it's a really scenic drive through Zion towards Bryce where again we had 2 hours and plenty of time to do a great walk down into the hoodoos- a highlight of the tour for sure. For people not wishing to walk down into the hoodoos they can stroll along the rim for great views. We opted for the camping version of this tour and our guide Rachel arranged a group BBQ and campfire with toasted marshmallows. The BBQ was delicious, plenty of food, super healthy salad and sides and the campfire was fun especially later on when we could see the Milky Way and so many stars! The next day after a breakfast of fruit, yogurt, muffins, tea, coffee, orange juice we drove an hour and half to Lake Powell where we took the tour of Antelope Canyon- another highlight! Don't miss this part it's really amazing. Our guide was ready and waiting for us when we came up from the canyon with a lunch spread all set up for us. Specialty breads, meats, cheeses, salads and sides with fruit and chocolate brownies. Great lunch. Next we drive 1 hour 45 mins to Monument Valley where we had an included 1.5 hour Navajo guided jeep tour followed by at traditional taco dinner served right on the rim of Monument Valley while we watched an incredible sunset! Wow! Campground was in a great location directly in front of the Monuments and the sunrise is definitely worth waking up for. We got an early start 7.30am on day three to get to the Grand Canyon with plenty of time to explore. We did a 3 miles rim walk and a scenic helicopter flight over the canyon. Well worth it. There are also cafes and rim exhibits if you don't want to walk that far. Our guide set up a table for us to make our own lunches - again lots of variety in the food. We left the Grand Canyon at 2pm and drove 1.5 hours to Route 66 where we were given 30 mins to walk around and get some fun photos of Route 66 memorabilia. There is also a famous diner there called the Snow Cap if you fancy a milk shake it one of their famous burgers. Really fun stop. We arrived back in Vegas around 7.30pm. This is a truly amazing tour run by great guides. Pre tour communication was excellent and speedy. I can't recommend this company highly enough.
This was a fun trip they fit in a lot of highlights in a few days. I got to see some of the most majestic parts of the Southwest in a reasonable time frame. I chose to camp instead of the hotel option and my favorite parts were camping in front of the massive Monument Valley buttes. The tents were good quality and easy to setup and take down and as demonstrated by Jennie our guide. The next morning the air was cool as I was waiting to video the sunrise I could feel the crisp breeze blowing across the valley floor that chilled my face and gave me a chilly hug to remind me I was alive and blessed to witness such an amazing sunrise coming up behind the incredible buttes. Other highlights were napping in the grass under a shady cottonwood tree at the foot of Angels Landing while listening to the wind play in the leaves above and the smell of wet pine trees after a brief summer rain storm in Bryce Canyon. We visited Zion Nation Park, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley the Grand Canyon and drove along the historic Route 66. I didn't go on the helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon but other people in our group said that was the highlight of their trip. I thought the sunrise at Monument Valley, camping in tents and Zion National Park were my favorites.
Justin was the perfect tour guide with his historical and geographical vast knowledge to help our group get a better understanding of the experiences we encountered. Each day was interesting from Zion to Bryce Canyon to Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, and ending in the Grand Canyon. Each day was a different experience and each place we visited was amazing and memorable. Justin was a great storyteller adding his personal touch. He was punctual, polite, pleasant, accommodating, resourceful, and attentive to all our needs. His enthusiasm was contagious, and we all enjoyed the experiences that will last a lifetime! I look forward to my next trip. They are a professional and reliable company that makes each adventure something you will always remember. Thank you for making our vacation one that we will always treasure!
This trip was perfect! It is a full 3 days, but you are seeing so much in a short amount of time. We were worried that the trip may be too much time on the bus, but it was NOT. We traveled for short periods of time and then got out and hiked or explored the area. Our guide was Justin, he was excellent!! He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Our group enjoyed his hospitality. Antelope Canyon and the helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon are well worth the add ons. The only thing we would want to do differently is go back to Zion and hike the "Narrows" trail, which we didn't have enough time to do. Otherwise the time at the parks was perfect and we were able to take in everything we wanted to do. We are not campers, but the camping was just fine. The view camping at Monument Valley was superb. We traveled with our 19 and 16 year old sons and they loved the trip. There was enough activity that they completely enjoyed the experience.
It includes great sightseeings and I feel you get a lot visited for only a 3 days tour!... Great energy from the tour guides and soo soo so much information shared about the history of the places!!...
I would definitely do another tour with them!
We did the 3 day tour that covered Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, monument Valley and Grand Canyon
Being from a smaller country the distances covered in the van were a bit of an eye opener. The hiking is reasonably short distances and well within capability of a "normal" person. No super fitness required.
Pick up: easy to find
Van: good condition. Comfortable
Accommodation : u pitch your own tents: easy and fast
Beds: self inflating camping mat with sleeping bags provided. Comfortable and warm. BYO pillow
Food: breakfast : cereal, yoghurt, fruit. Good quality. Yummy
Lunch: sandwiches. Okay.
Dinner - pre order BBQ type food on day one. Tasty and adequate
Dinner day two. Navajo tocos. Yummy
Tour guide. Pleasant. Informative. Good value.
Antelope canyon. Well worth it.
The hiking is quite limited. Just a taster of 5 kms approx at Zion .
Bryce Canyon was about 5 kms but a steep up and down
Both are high altitude so u notice it more than u would normally.
U need good walking shoes but boots were not a necessity.
We did the rim walk at the Grand Canyon and this was very easy,
Highly recommended
Well what can I say? This was the highlight of our trip. We got to see so much (Zion, Bryce, Monument, Antelope and Grand Canyon) in just 3 days. Camping out was amazing and for my girlfriend to say that (she hates camping) is really saying something. Do this tour... you wont regret it! Just make sure your cameras are charged. Bring spare memory cards and batteries, you're going to need them.
We did the three day tour of monument valley/ Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. Our tour guide/ driver was Rachel. We were part of a group of 13. What an experience. There was so much more to this tour than we expected. I had never heard of Bryce Canyon before this trip and despite a downpour and electric storm as we arrived we climbed down into the canyon our footwear getting heavier as we went with the red mud- it was fabulous. !!! The weather wasn't our friend for the trip but being from ireland we are used to a bit of rain and prefer it to the blistering heat. We had a thoroughly enjoyable jeep ride in a thunderstorm through monument valley- a real life rollercoaster!!! Antelope canyon was an amazing extra- beautiful pictures - unique place. Route 66 a fun stop. Rachel was very professional knowledgeable and worked extremely hard for the three days on our behalf. Thank you. The food was plentiful. BBQ first night. Tacos second night and plenty of fruit sandwiches etc for lunch. I would thoroughly recommend these tours- the only way to see this beautiful part of the country. ļø
Thankyou Justin for this amazing tour.you packed so much in and you were extremely knowleagable.Thrilled with antelope canyon option and visit to route 66 and all the xtra bits we didnt expect.We will never forget that 3 days.lodgings were brilliant too.thankyou so much
We covered Zion, Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon national parks, as well as Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley on Navajo tribal lands, all in three days. The sights were the main attraction, and well worth the trip. Our driver/guide, Mike, was a wealth of information, and kept us moving. Our van was at capacity with 14 people, so the seating was tight in the back row, but we switched it up each day so no one was stuck in the back for the whole trip. Nice group of people, with the U.S., Canada, England, Australia and Italy all represented! We're definitely not campers, so chose the lodging option, and were grateful for the air conditioning and showers after the long dusty days. In additional to the countless photos we took, we'll likely remember the Navajo tacos, and the burgers at the SnoCap for quite awhile!
My wife, my children(11 and 9 year olds) and I just finished a three day tour of Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. Everyone had a great time. The tours were well organized. Our tour guide, Rachel, was great! She kept us entertained. That includes trivia questions that entertained our kids. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
We did the three-day national park tour the last weekend of June and it was an amazing experience. My girlfriend and I were not very big campers before but this trip has certainly changed that. Our guide Rachel was very passionate, knowledgeable, and organized. We went through some uncharacteristic weather, including a tornado in monument valley, but Rachel pulled through and was able to secure our group an apartment. The tour group was awesome to spend the three days with and we greatly enjoyed every minute, our only regret is that we couldn't explore longer. Many thanks to Rachel
I felt like I was on the Amazing Race, visiting many locations in a short period of time yet, getting to take full advantage of all that was offered. It was AMAZING for sure! Mike Brown was a phenomenal guide and had a plethora of information and knowledge to share with us. ALL the locations visited were gorgeous and I will definitely be going back to all of them to get in some more hiking!
I had a wonderful time exploring with the three days exploring & camping package. Leah, our guide, did a superlative job & provided us with a truely amazing experience. She showed her knowledge & skills in many innumerable ways.
Joe, our tour guide was excellent, kept us entertained, informed and had everything running smoothly. We saw such in lot in a short time frame.Excellent campsite at Monument Valley for the sunrise.Would have loved to have had more time on the walks and done the 7 day trip but it wasn't offered for our dates.Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!
Our guide Mandy was great.She was so informative, I had so much fun with the 3 day camping trip and covered every ground on the itinerary .my only disappointment was not seeing the sunrise in monumentvalley because it we were rained out,other than everything was great.Higly recommend to any one who loves adventure !
"Great journey"
I can this trip only recommend to anyone. Everything was top organized by Bindlestiff tours. Perfect group size. Everything was comfortable and modern van, camping. Super nice and very knowledgeable guide. Thanks, Mike! The routes with the van are scenic and enough stops were inserted for toilet breaks etc. The places we visited were incredible. On the first day, we went to the Zion NP, Bryce Canyon. The second day was for the Antelope C. and Monument Valley. On the third day Grand Canyon!
If anyone doubting about purchasing this trip, I want to say please don't! This trip was amazing. It was just suitable for a person like me A. who has never been camping before B. who travel alone C. who doesn't drive and D. wants to meet new people while travelling new places. The tour was simple, safe and convenient. Our tour guide Mandy was really professional and did not panic although the weather was pretty wacky throughout the tour. Tents were really clean, easy to set up and down even for a person like me who had never touched tent before the meals were good. I would recommend you to pack a little bit of snack or buy at the stores since you will get really hungry during the hiking Bathroom and shower were really clean. The best part would be the camping at the Monument valley.
Very nice excursion from Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon Zion, everything was perfect! The impeccable organization was plenty of time to enjoy parks, picnic, walk and contemplate. Everyone is free. We stay in the parks about 2-3 hours. We chose the hotel option and do not regret it. The hotels were 10 minutes from the camp, the guide dropped us in the evening after dinner (about 21h) and collected the morning after having decamped, leaving us a little more time sleeping campers;) . I recommend taking the 2 dinners optional, it's cheap and it's nice to stay in a group. Navajo specialty was very good! Beautiful view from our room in Monument Valley, we could see the sunrise. Campers had a truly stunning view! The bus is comfortable, the road did not seem long to us with many stops. The Antelope option is in my opinion a must, we follow a local guide in the canyon advising us the best pictures, it lasted about 1:30 (perhaps not recommended for claustrophobic). We ended with the helicopter to the Grand Canyon, to make absolutely if you can, the view is totally different, it becomes more account of greatness. If you take the chopper you will have less time to walk to the Grand Canyon, about 2 hours instead of 3 hours. This tour is a perfect overview of the American West, not tourist traps, I can highly recommend it! thank you again to our guide Mike was at the top, passionate and attentive. Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed this tour! You visit some fantastic locations in a small group we had about 10 people. I chose camping, which was fine. The tents are high quality and we were supplied 2 sleeping bags each it gets cold at night. The food included was fairly basic, just sandwiches, fruit and packets of crisps for lunch and cereals for breakfast, though the Navajo food truck in Monument Valley was fairly good. Charge your camera batteries beforehand as there are limited options for charging devices while camping. Our tour guide Mike was terrific and willing to help whenever he could, even providing a charging strip in the minivan at one point. There were also local guides around some of the sites i.e. Navajo guides through Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon. All the places we visited were great and the tour was reasonably well timed - not to short or too long a time in any one place. If you are just thinking of visiting the Grand Canyon, do this instead. All the locations were amazing - it would be such a loss to go to Vegas or the Grand Canyon and miss the rest!
There are no words do describe this tour! Just book it - you won't regret! Thanks to our tour guide Mike we got all the information, facts and quotes about all the places we visited in this 3 days. It was a great experience. Just do it - do it - DO IT!
We just finished the three day camping tour and would recommend this tour to anyone. All the places visited were amazing. Our tour guide Mike was really helpful and knowledgeable and a great problem solver. We enjoyed this trip, well worth it.
I took the 3 day camping trip to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monumental Valley, Grand Canyon and route 66. The trip guide Justin was extremely professional and organised. He explained in details the history and nature of every place, and it was extremely interesting. You get to learn about the local history while enjoying the amazing landscape. Highly recommended.
it's so amazing that we could enjoy such national parks in only 3-Days! The tour guide provided us the essence of the parks and so on according to their professional experiences and knowledge.
We have recently returned from the 3-day national parks tour departing 18 April.
I am writing to express our appreciation for providing us with a trip beyond our expectations. We had the most amazing time seeing the fantastic and amazing scenery and natural wonders.
Beyond that, however, it was the tireless efforts, vast knowledge and engaging personality of our guide Justin that made it a brilliant trip all round. In Justin, you have a rare gem equal to the sights we saw!
We will gladly talk about our adventure with all our friends.
This was an incredible 3 days. Marie was an amazing guide and driver. The scenery was breathtaking and the fact that this trip covers so many beautiful places in such a short time was a major bonus.
I chose this tour given the excellent reviews on Google and having done the 3 day tour, I feel so glad that I made the right decision. All the places we visited on this 3 day tour (Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, US Route 66, Monument Valley) were absolutely scenic, peaceful and it seemed I was in another world altogether. The trip was well organised, accommodation was good, van was comfortable, lunch was nice and above all our group was super friendly and fun including Mike (our trip leader). The pace of the trip was good. It didn't feel hectic even though we covered many places in 3 days. Mike ensured that everyone in the group was well fed, comfortable and happy. He was very informative. I made many new friends and will always cherish the sweet memories from this trip. Thanks!
I did the three day national park camping trip in October. It ran smoothly.. We had Jen as our tour guide, and she was very knowledgeable on everything we saw on our trip, as well as current issues in the area. The food organised was very good. Bryce Canyon was my favourite.
I am very happy that I took this trip! It was really a lifetime experience! the tour leader, Vern, was a very fun and knowledgeable person who made the whole trip more memorable!
This tour was absolutely incredible! Our guide, Marie, was beyond amazing and very knowledgeable. The small group was great, as it felt more like friends going on a short road trip. This tour is very fast paced so if you're looking for something a little slower, this might not be for you. But in saying that, these three days were the highlight of my four week trip. Make sure you get up early to watch the sunrise in Monument Valley because I've never seen anything so incredible. And be sure to do the optional tour of Antelope Canyon!
A very well organized tour. Jennie was amazing! She is a wealth of knowledge and kept us engaged with insights into all the places we visited. Day 1 was Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon. The emerald pools at Zion were well worth the hike (great for those looking for some cardio). Bryce took my breath away. The variations in color and the structures were stunning. Day 1 finished at a KOA campground near Bryce. Jennie taught us how to put up a tent. We had a lovely meal by the campfire and made smores. Campground has hot showers, fully functioning bathrooms and wifi (note that the connection is not always consistent). Day 2 started bright and early at 6 am. We made breakfast, packed lunches and headed to Lake Powell/Glen canyon dam. We then headed to Antelope Canyon...I was left speechless. The colors and structures were amazing. Our guide, Buddy, has an excellent eye for photography and took fantastic photos for us. We finished off by heading to Monument valley. It was beautiful and memorable. We camped there overnight and saw a breathtaking sunrise. Day 3 finished with a trip to Grand Canyon. One word - AMAZING!! I only wish we had more time to spend at each location. I highly recommend this trip. It's great for everyone (children, solo travelers, etc...).
Just finished the 3 days tour which goes to Zion, Bryce, Antelope, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. I had an amazing time with my small and personal group. Jen our guide was great. She gave us a lot of history and information as she drove us. This was my first time camping and I LOVED IT! I'm very happy with everything. The places we visited were just amazing and I was able to take breath taking pictures. I recommend this your very much to whomever wants to see some of the beautiful sites in America. I recommend the helicopter tour in the Grand Canyon its the best way to appreciate it. I'll look for my next adventure soon :)
The tour was excellent. I am so glad to join this tour instead of driving ourselves to Grand Canyon only.
I loved Bryce and Monument Valley, it was just amazing.
Everybody in the group was fantastic. All in all, it was a fantastic trip.
This trip was an awesome experience and a great glimpse into several amazing NPs out west. My favorite part was our campsite being the only ones overlooking Monument Valley, The Mittens, and waking up on 4th of July morning to an epic sunrise from the doorway of my tent over the Mittens! Antelope Canyon is an optional portion of this trip but well worth the extra $28 or so. Google Antelope Canyon and you will know what I mean!
This trip is great for all ages... on our trip it was mainly young adults, but we also had a family of four with us too. We all started as individuals...but by the end of the trip everyone was taking group photos together! I personally went on this trip by myself and think this is a great opportunity for all those who really are wanderlusters but not sure what NPs are calling them. Now that I know my favorite spots... I can't wait to plan out a long trip to Monument Valley and Bryce. I liked the Grand Canyon too but the crowd on a holiday weekend is a bit overwhelming.
We also had an awesome tour guide named Vern. He was super knowledgeable in each stop's history, fun and adventurous, and overall a great guide!
Exceeded my expectations in every way. Super great tour guide. New comfortable van. Good camping equipment. Every day was jam packed with one breathtaking view after another. Highly recommended.
What a fantastic few days we had with Jen Barnes. From seeing the Grand Canyon from the helicopter, to seeing the sunset and sunrise!! Bruce Canyon was Awesome and Antelope Canyon just blew us away, Jen made sure we got the best of the best guides who in turn made sure we got the best of the best photos!! The tour company was fantastic from first contact to last! Our memories will last a lifetime!
Went on 3 day tour of Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and Zion National Park. Tour guide, Jen, was the best. Took us to amazing places and organized extras for us like, chopper flight over Grand Canyon with papillon, a must do, tour of Antelope Canyon through Ken's tours. Jen knows her history and shares her knowledge with you. The best trip ever.
We had a terrific trip. Jennie, our guide, spent 3 full days making sure we saw everything, and were comfortable and informed the whole time. The two hotels we stayed in were not fancy, but clean and well run, and Jennie made sure everything went off without a hitch. The weather was very unpredictable (sunny one minute, hailstorm the next) and Jennie calmly changed plans and locations to make sure we got the most of our time. She also went to great lengths to meet the different activity needs of the group (teenagers who wanted strenuous hikes and a grandmother who preferred walks). I would definitely recommend this tour company and Jennie.
We did the 3 day tour and had an excellent time. Rachel is a great tour guide who made us feel comfortable and gave us a lot of important history information and fun facts. It's a very adventurous trip since there is always something going on. My husband and I camped out and we loved the experience, in our tour group there was a total of 12 people and we had a nice time making new friends. Lunches were sandwiches, chips, fruits ect. good enough for us and breakfast was also good, there is enough bathroom stops so if you get hungry you can always buy something extra at one of the stops. All the parks Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon were all great, the views are spectacular. Just make sure you take comfortable sneakers and clothes. We recommend this tour, its totally worth the money. A highlight of the trip was making s'mores at one of the camping sites at night. Yummy :)
I did two tours with this same tour company - the 3 day national parks (camping option) and the ghost towns day trips. Jen Barnes was the tour guide for both and she is incredible - friendly, knowledgeable and super organized! Both trips pack in a lot so you'll be exhausted but it's well worth it. Amazing how much we managed to see given the limited time. I'd highly recommend both tours and will use this tour company again. Best tour operator I've ever used, hands down. Thanks Jen! :-)
Good tour guide, excellent national parks. It was 1,000 miles driven miles in 3 days so I'm glad I didn't have to drive myself! Nice people on the trip and the camping was comfortable (inflatable mattresses that actually do inflate!)
We traveled on this tour company's three day tour to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon NP, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon NP. Our tour leader, Vern, was loaded with information and infectiously entertaining. A genuinely top bloke who always maintained a sense of humor, even despite the serial tardiness of some of the other tour guests. We managed to cram so many sights into three days, despite the laggards in the group, thanks largely to Vern's professionalism and his ability to wrangle people like a sheep dog rounding up a flock. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly camping on the rim of Monument Valley - this was one of those life defining moments, as we settled in with locally made Navajo tacos and watched the monuments transform into dazzling reds and oranges with the setting sun. This was a brilliant, professionally run tour that covered so much territory it's hard to believe that we were out for only three days. The pace is intense - but for those short on time and intent on seeing as many of the incredible sights of the Southwestern deserts as possible, this is undoubtedly the tour for you.
I had enjoyed the three days tour and made most of it with the tour company. It is one of the best ways to explore and to see piece of the Wild West. The group was fantastic and had the opportunity to meet with people from all walks of life. My guide was Marie Easton, who is knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of the tour (geographically, historically, biologically). Marie was the key of my tour experience. I highly recommend the three days tours to anyone especially with this company. Thanks Marie for the great experience.
We chose the 3 day tour covering Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. We chose this one for Monument Valley. As it turned out. The other locations were equally amazing. My wife felt Zion Canyon was the highlight. I still believe Monument Valley is. Our guide was Marie. She was wonderful, friendly, helpful, and well organized. She had so much knowledge and told us many amazing stories about the region. The tour itself is quite busy with the different places to visit and the driving. Even so, we always got a couple of hours at least at every location.
Considering you get to see 5 major Southwest attractions and several others such as Powell Lake, Hoover Dam, and Route 66, the tour is great for those looking to get everything done in a short time at a great price. The small group making it personable was perfect, with enthusiastic and very experienced guides.
We had a great time on this 3 day tour with 14 people plus our tour guide. The itinerary was packed full with sights to see, and our guide made great recommendations to maximize our enjoyment and to see as much as possible. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone!
The whole tour was well organized and informative, and despite being a little older than the rest of the 'campers', we were well provided for and thoroughly enjoyed the wonders of the monuments and parks.
Very well put together trip. You get to see many of the most famous national parks in just 3 days without feeling like you are overworked. Our guides, Chris and Rachel, were very impressive in their professionalism. We will be booking their Yellowstone tour soon.
We chose this tour because it promised small groups and our group of 12 was great, including 4 people traveling alone. All ages (from very youthful to my own 71 years), and from all corners of the globe. The tour includes plenty of walks, with different levels of difficulty available so I had no trouble taking it easy on the shorter, flatter paths. Our guide Marie was excellent - knowledgeable, attentive, and fun, with her own personal playlist during the long drives to fit the location (quite amusing). We were blessed with perfect weather - hot and sunny, even Zion at night wasn't as cold as expected. The bus and campsites were comfortable, and setting up camp not too difficult, with easily assembled tents. The beautiful full moon gave us plenty of light, although it did mean we missed out on the brilliance of the milky way, and waking up on the third day to sunrise over Monument Valley was gorgeous.
As others have observed, the schedule is intense, packing into 3 days some 6 locations and about 1000 miles - from Vegas to Zion to Bryce to Antelope Canyon to Monument Valley to the Grand Canyon; also Lake Powell somewhere along the way; plus Seligman on Route 66 thrown in on the way back to Vegas - but Marie kept us on track ensuring we had the time we needed to enjoy it all - with each location more spectacular than the last. Both Zion and Antelope Canyon are amazing; and I didn't think anything could be grander than Bryce, but I was wrong. The Grand Canyon, from the air as well as from the rims, was truly awesome. If it's available, don't miss the Grand Canyon heli tour (preferably the longer 45m option) it's unbelievable. All up, a brilliantly conceived and executed tour, thoroughly recommended.
A memorable tour. On time for the entire three days. Good breakfasts and "make your own lunch" after breakfast each day was a great idea. Adequate time was given for activities at the various sites with a variety of options to take.
All camping equipment was provided, including a sleeping sheet for your sleeping bag. Our guide had a good knowledge of the areas we visited and traveled through - including history, anthropology, and geology. Will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.
Great tour. It is only 3 days, but you get to see a lot. It's very nice that it's in small groups. The camping sites were very good. You can participate in the activities at any level, good for very sportive or less sportive people. Nice food.
Had an amazing time. Would recommend them, Vern was an excellent guide, whose knowledge of the tour and life in general is unsurpassed. The group was suitable for all we had mixed ages and it worked well. We had a lot of fun mixed in with a really informative tour. I would not hesitate to book with this tour company again in the future.
I had a wonderful trip visiting the canyons of Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. Jennie was a great guide, she had a lot of great stories and information about the canyons of Southwest USA. This was the highlight of my American holiday!
We had the best tour guide you could get, thank you Jen, we had great time. This tour is full on, and you see a lot in 3 days. All the parks have there amazing things to see. We took the extra accommodation and found both places very good with comfortable beds. At the Grand Canyon, we took the extra helicopter ride, it was amazing to see the Canyon from up there. I would recommend this extra to everyone that takes this tour. Thanks again, Jen, we had amazing tour, and thank you, was the greatest tour guide ever.
A wonderful experience and recommended without hesitation. Our very friendly and humorous tour leader, JD, was very professional; his knowledge of the areas visited made it much more interesting. Our group had various nationalities and ages from 20- 60s+ which was a good mix. It was a lot of miles to cover in the three days of the tour but breaks were frequent. Be prepared to change seats in the bus each day so everyone can have a chance to talk with others in the group while traveling and to take turns in the more comfy or window seats. As a couple of very fit nearly 60 year olds, we still found the full Bryce Canyon loop hike a challenge so the full loop (about 45 minutes- 1 hour) is not for the faint hearted given the time constraints. But if you can do it, it is a magical hike. Take the Antelope Canyon optional tour; you will not be disappointed! You need good mobility for the steep ladders and sometimes very narrow pathways, and it is largely underground. Watch the sunrise over Monument Valley; simply stunning. If you can, take a helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon. It is an amazing site from the ground but from above it takes on a mind numbing perspective; unparalled beauty.
We traveled mid-October, and while very warm in Las Vegas, evening and night time temperatures on the tour meant warm clothing was a necessity. As others have said in their reviews, it is fast paced but gives you a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see all of these attractions in a short amount of time; or a great taster to come back again and do it at a more leisurely pace. 10/10.
Absolutely fabulous trip. I thought Zion was amazing, then Bryce was even better, but I think Antelope Canyon was my favorite. The camping spot at Monument Valley was spectacular, and it was great walking into the Grand Canyon. Marie was a wonderful informative, and organized guide. Highly recommended trip!!!
Just finished a 3 day camping tour seeing Bryce Canyon and the amazing Hoodoos, then to Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley. our was fantastic, saw all the best sights, camped in stunning areas, great food, comfy bus. Was a nice small group, and we had enough time at stops to buy souvenirs. Marie had the best music playlist matched to what we were seeing at the time. Definitely recommend this tour and company...great value for money!!!!!!
I did the 3 Day National Parks tour from Las Vegas this week and this was THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME. We just could not believe how many beautiful things we saw in such a short amount of time. The group was great, we were 11, all from different countries and all very friendly. And Jennie, our guide, is the most professional ever. She is very energetic, very organized, and last but not least, extremely knowledgeable about each place we visited and the Navajo culture. All we needed was provided: tents, food (and not junk food, we had plenty of fruits and vegetable for our picnics), information, etc. This is much better than organizing the trip on your own as you would never be able to do that much driving in such a few days, and you would never get the introduction we got to visit things, especially in the Navajo reservation. THANK YOU JENNIE AND THANK YOU TO THE TOUR COMPANY for making my trip to the US so worthwhile :-)
I really wanted to go to a national park for few years but I don't drive, so finally ended it up to join this tour. I wasn't expect so much in the beginning because it's only 2 nights and 3 days, and I thought it's bit short. BUT oh my god.. I would say, this tour changed my whole life experience! It was just most amazing scenery every single time! Our guide, Marie, was super chill and knowledgable, and of course professional!! She managed our timeline perfect also tried to help each person's preference. Tent equipment was really easy to set up, and the camping spot was nice too. I've been backpacking a long time, but it was the most amazing one. I highly highly recommend to everyone. It's really really worthy. You won't miss anything. Thanks so much for the tour company to making this an awesome journey. Never forgettable!
I'll start by saying I have never been camping. My guy and I chose the 3 day tour to Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Lake Powell, Monument Valley, & Zion National Park on Oct 19th. We had fun at most stops and wonderful times to enjoy the beauty. This entire trip was jam packed with perfect precision and planning. Jen, our guide was so knowledgeable and flexible, she kept every minute packed with wonder and beauty to look at. I loved the fact no planning or schedules were ours to worry about. What a perfect tour of so many places and so many miles we traveled. Best of all we could nap, or enjoy every view without driving or worrying of the route we were on. I loved every minute, even if it did rain and I slept in a tent. We stayed dry, happy and busy. Jen was able to give us little gems of knowledge of every area we drove through-she is fantastic!! This is a company that offers tours for one person, couples, or small groups. I think our van held like 12 maybe= Small groups and large experiences. Yes this was a bit pricey, but the luxury of NO WORRIES along with so many beautiful stops=Priceless. Great job JEN!!!
This trip was above my expectations. If you like camping, hiking, enjoy a sunset in the middle of nowhere with wonderful natural sightseeing, hot weather, and meeting new friends, this is totally for you. When you think you have taken enough pictures, there you go again with 20 more. Every single place we visited was incredibly beautiful, I just couldn't believe it was real. Also I didn't have to worry about carrying a tent and food. They provide all the equipment so you don't have to worry about anything.
Our tour guide has been the best I have ever had. You feel like you've known him for years. He knows everything related to history, geography, and population. And he also gave us recommendations of other places to visit, secret places, and outing places to have fun.
We just ended our 3 day tour two days ago and the only thing I could say is it was amazing, and it was indeed an experience of a lifetime. The main highlight of the tour for me was the second day "lower ground antelope". We were able to explore the area well, and it was absolutely great since it was sunny so, the fear of getting underground was lessened.
The camping experience was definitely worth a second time. The tent equipment that they provided was great, comfortable, and easy to assemble. The view of the campsite on the second day was perfect and imaginable. I can't believe we were facing the Monument Valley and got the chance to view the sunrise from there. My Grand Canyon experienced was just a teaser. I need to go back to explore the trail more. Our tour guide was definitely a pro and systematic. This tour is highly recommended. All you hope for is a good weather to maximize the experience.
My partner and I had an absolutely brilliant time on the 3 day parks tour, and would heartily recommend it. From the moment of booking, the tour company was brilliant communicators; answering emails promptly and with very clear instructions. You visit some truly beautiful places - Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Antelope Canyon - and it's such a relief to have somebody else do the planning and the driving and the booking! Our tour guide, Rachel, had a phenomenal knowledge of all the places we went to, as well as the geology of the area. She was also friendly, warm, efficient, and went above and beyond the call of duty in looking after people. The camping is great fun (but do treat yourself to the motel stays if camping isn't your thing) and you do spend a fair bit of time in the bus but it's comfortable, air conditioned and there's no other way to cover this amount of ground in the time allowed. This tour is a brilliant way to see lots of extraordinary places in three days, I'm so very glad we did it.
Just amazing! It was well planned. You do manage to enjoy the places. Loved the lunches and the stories from our guide, Jenny. The people on the trip were great too, and all worked out well.
I did the 3 day tour and it was fantastic! We saw so much and there was a lot of driving but, I didn't feel like I was stuck in a car the whole time. Mike was a great guide/driver and really looked after us all. Really knowledgeable too. Thank you!
Many vacation moments slip away from your memory, but I guarantee your experience with this tour company will last a lifetime! My 12 year old daughter and I camped with them on a 3 day National Park sampler in June. My daughter was extremely unsure of this because it was our first camping experience--ever! Marie, our group's guide was extremely patient with us, and helpful in every way possible. We loved the itinerary, the pace of the stops at Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon, and will definitely be repeating with the longer itinerary. Little touches like the soundtracks that Marie chose to "score" the vistas along the road, asking the group's preference for sourcing meals etc., was really appreciated and made the trip feel personal. We also loved the wonderful additions including the optional Navajo Taco meal at Monument Valley and the Antelope Canyon hike. Neither should be missed if they are available! The only bad part of the trip was it ending just as our group was feeling really comfortable with one another and bonding. Fantastic experience, and an excellent way for this single Mom to do this kind of activity with her daughter and feel safe! Thanks to everyone at the tour company, especially Marie! :)
This was a excellent tour to give us a taste of the National Parks. The highlight for us was Zion National Park. We could have spent more time there. Antelope Canyon was superb and our guide there, Buddy, was knowledgable and imparted photographic tips. Our tour guide, Jennie's concern, and interest in her clients made this trip a most memorable. Thanks Jennie, you are a gem.
In April, we did the three day camping tour which visited Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon (optional but highly recommended), Grand Canyon followed by a stop at route 66 on our way back to Vegas. I can't recommend the tour company highly enough for this tour. We have been traveling the USA (from Australia) for one month and this was a clear highlight of our trip.
Our tour guide Vern was fantastic- knowledgeable, fun and organized. He made sure that at each stop that there was a hike/walk suitable for all levels. We really enjoyed how much diversity there was in each place we visited, and Vern was great in taking the time to explain why rock/canyon formations were different to the previous place. Overall a fantastic 3 days! Happy with the price, just keep in mind to budget for two dinners, optional activities and for gratuities at the end.
Thank you!!
An awesome 3 day adventure with brilliant, knowledgable tour leaders. Gave a taste for the parks and inspired more trips in the future. The campsites were excellent. Definately worth including in your holiday.
It was amazing! Cannot recommend highly enough. It would have been nice to have more time at each attraction, but on the other hand we saw a remarkable amount in a few days and I cannot stop talking about it. It really is the trip of a lifetime though I would happily do it again! I was in a lovely group from all over the world, and we rallied together in the face of weather difficulties. Our esteemed leader, Jen Barnes, kept us focused, on track, and taught us so much about the awesome landscapes. I particularly enjoyed learning about the historical contributions made by women.
I had joined the 3 days camping tour covering Zion, Bryce, Antelope, Monument Valley, and the Grand Canyon. The pace was fast, but considering the distance covered and the places visited, it was well worth it. Incredible sceneries and sights were experienced at the parks. Our guide, Jenny, was informative and helpful, making the tour experience a pleasant one. It was a great trip.
It was a well organized trip of the key spots in the Southwest. Ideal for people on a short break to sample the various attractions, and also to help decide if they want to come back to a particular place. Our guide, Vern, was jovial and enthusiastic, and made sure we were comfortable and well-paced during the packed trip. I did the camping trip - all the camping equipment is supplied, and it was a great experience. Watching the sunrise out of your tent in the Monument Valley is a one of a kind experience. Well tailored for people who want to get a reasonable experience in the short time they have. Amazing- thank you!
I'm a single mom and I took my 8 year old son on the 3-day, 5 national park tour. We had an amazing time. Our tour leader was Marie, and she was wonderful. She was super friendly and very informative. The trip was wonderful. I still can't believe how much we were able to do in just 3 days. We had plenty of time to spend at each park and I never felt rushed. My son and I were able to hike at each park and we took tons of pictures! We also did the helicopter tour at the Grand Canyon. There were 13 total people including my son and I in our group. I live in the United States, and we were pleased to meet others in our group from so many different countries. I have fibromyalgia and therefore camping was not possible for me, so we chose the lodging option. Thanks to the tour company for a great time!
Very well organized tour. Schedule is very busy for just 3 days but tour guide Rachel is super energetic, enthusiastic, and a well prepared operator. We saw amazing scenes and had a great time! Thank you Rachel again. We totally recommend the tour and this tour operator!
We chose the 3 day camping trip to Zion, Bryce, and Grand Canyon and had a wonderful time. Great staff, our tour guide, Jennie, was excellent and able to handle any hiccups the weather caused with ease. We got to leave our brains at home and just enjoy the tour. On the 3 day you don't get a lot of time at each site, but it is a perfect introduction to many famous parks and areas. I recommend bringing plenty of cash for tips and dinners to avoid any ATM charges along the way.
What an experience! Met all our expectations and more! Our tour leader, Very, was amazing! Super informative, easy going, and gave us plenty of options for different hikes and experiences! Our group was also great! We took the accommodation option rather than camping - both facilities were great! Lunches were provided and dietary requirements accommodated! If you're thinking about this tour, it's a must - do it! Thanks again!!!!
I had a fantastic time on the 3 day tour of the canyons. Our guide Khris was amazing, full of interesting pieces of information about the history of the canyons and entertaining stories of his travels. Conversation with him was so easy and you'll be lucky to get him as your tour guide. Thanks for the amazing trip around the canyons. I'd definitely do it again the next time I'm in Las Vegas.
Amazing trip. Our tour guide was Khriss. Incredibly knowledgeable and very sensitive to the needs of all of the folk in our tour group. He optimized our time at all of our destinations so we felt well satisfied with our time at each site and felt we were able to see the best at each place. Khriss's stories, knowledge base and narrative made this incredibly enjoyable and so much fun, even on the long rides between sites we were totally entertained, and were fully prepped for the next site. Obviously any of these sites you could easily spend more than a week hiking and exploring. With only 3 days, Khriss did such an outstanding job that I felt I truly experienced the highlights at each of these locations. There is just no way I ever could have done this on my own. I am a well seasoned traveler visiting over 40 countries and numerous places within the US as well. I have joined tours as well as explored on my own. I give my enthusiastic and overwhelming endorsement for this! You will never be able to do what they do on your own in just 3 days! They take awesome care of you!!!!! Go for it! You won't regret it!
I did the 3 day camping tour of the Southwest, and it was the absolute highlight of my four week trip! The guide, Marie, was knowledgeable and super fun and did everything in her power to make the trip amazing. Rain affected one night of camping and the tour company did their best to find a solution. The small group was great, as it made it easy to make friends and it felt very intimate. Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon were so incredible. I would (and have!) highly recommend traveling with this tour company again!
This was my first group tour. My fiance and I were hesitant to book a tour vs. doing it alone, as we generally tend to do our own thing on our own schedule. Also, many tours have pretty vanilla itineraries that lack flexibility. This tour company was different and couldn't have worked out better for us. The small group size was great and allowed us to get to know our fellow tour-takers. Our group consisted of really wonderful people from all over the world, and this added a cultural enrichment that was quite special. It truly was a pleasure getting to know everyone. Our guide, Vern, was the best! Seriously--so knowledgeable/ experienced and a really solid person. He provided us with plenty of options and hikes with varying degrees of difficulty so we could choose the right fit for us. I wish Vern could plan all of our adventures! We saw wonderful sites, did amazing hikes, and made great friends. I highly recommend this tour and especially Vern.
I highly recommend this tour-very professional and the accommodations are extremely nice and i really enjoyed the pancake breakfast.This is a great tour for someone short of time, we visited 4 parks all of which were amazing and had plenty of time to explore each park and had some really enjoyable walks. This is a small group tour and the tour guides are EXCELLENT- fun and very knowledgeable.
Great way to see some more of the USA. The family had a wonderful time and we liked Monument Valley the best. After seeing it in so many movies over the years, it was nice to get to see it in person. Great job.

I recommend this tour!
