Geyser, Glacier, Grand old time with Bisons in line An efficient itinerary using Salt Lake City as a gateway (one of the cheapest airport to fly to), though a longer drive for our guide Alex. We did hiking - up the glacier lake overlook and canyon vista, down the river bank; swimming - against river chill while soaking in hot spring. Some of us had a crash course of very first camping experience, trying to fit in a sleeping bag. Lunch on the go with hearty tasty dinner cooked every day. Starry night, surrounded by invisible (occasional audible) wildlife buddies, we savored wine, tea, played game by the camp fire. Breakfast is important for most and there were variety of options for us to choose. Though we were rushing every morning to eat, I wish we could get up earlier to see at least one sunrise. Alex, the most knowledgeable tour guide I've met, introduced us on wide-ranging topics, from geology, forestry, wildlife, to history, all while driving and without referring to a hard copy. There were facts and figures published to educate, also anecdotes and speculations to entertain (or scare some fainthearted). I only wish longer time spent in Yellowstone. If Grand Canyon is a Yang to top all the national parks, Yellowstone is a Yin with billowing steam exuding everywhere in sight, provoke all imaginations wild and eerie.

Great small group tour company Travelled on the 7 day SW National Parks lodging tour AND the 7 day Yellowstone Camping tour Both had fantastic well thought out itineraries which allowed us to choose the hikes that we wanted and pack in as much as we could in those 7 days. Also the tour leaders (Marie and Chris) were great and added to the enjoyment of the tour in their own unique ways. Highly recommended

Best Tour Ever! Yellowstone Tour from Las Vegas, 7 Days. I completed this tour in 2018 and it was hands down the best tour I have ever taken! WOW! The parks are amazing, that goes without saying and I have photos and memories to last a lifetime. This company was a pleasure to deal with- they communicated with me quickly and professionally prior to my tour with accurate and useful information. We even received a packing list and weather update a week or two out. Our tour guide was exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable and gave plenty of in depth area information which was both entertaining and interesting! At each location we were given ample time to explore either at our own leisure or as part of the out group- the guide always made sure that all of our interested and walking abilities were catered for. Great food, great company, I enjoyed the small group aspect of the tour with only 14 guests it made it easy to make new friends and we had some great evenings together around the campfire. I am vegetarian and was fully catered for. This company really does care! The bus was brand new and extremely spacious and comfortable and the camping gear was of a very high level with air mattresses supplied for added comfort. Overall a phenomenal tour and we will definitely be traveling again - THANK YOU!

Never Disappointed. I did the 7 day Southwest and 7 day Yellowstone following. Could never have seen what I did any other way. Camping equipment was in great condition. Food was great. Really good value for money. Options to do your own exploring. Can not recommend highly enough. Big thanks to Chris Patrick, awesome guide, great fun,it was true meaning of a holiday

Review of: 7-Day National Parks Tour: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon South Rim This was the most AMAZING, STUNNING, WONDERFUL TRIP OF OUR LIVES! WOW is a small word to describe each day 10 STARS with a HUGE THANK YOU to our tour guide JON MARET. AIN"T NOBOBY BETTER, his knowledge, experience & care ( PLUS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR) kept each day alive & well. A BIG thank you to the tour operator & JON & plus GREAT AMERICAN SOUTHWEST. This comes from a professional yacht captain used to the best and was bested by this company!!!

Mike and the team provided my daughter and I an amazing vacation. The history, geology and personal stories about the land that Mike told as we drove from place to place was priceless. Mike provided personal recommendations for each tour stop that met our needs. We saw and learned things about the Southwest USA that we never would have if we had planned the trip ourselves. I'm already looking into booking a trip for next year.

I just completed my 2nd Tour and it was just as amazing as the first! This company is top notch. They are there for you from the moment you book until the sad time that the tour ends. The customer service team are amazing- they answer emails extremely quickly and answer all your questions before the tour so you know exactly what to expect.Both Bindlestiff Guides I have had have been great- full of knowledge, enthusiasm and are a constant source interesting facts and stories. The touring vehicles are super comfy and on both my tours brand new, the same as the gear- again top notch high quality making camping extremely comfortable. As for this tour itself, its expertly planned and executed to allow maximum time and enjoyment in the parks. We saw so much more than we expected and had tons of time to explore each park with some fabulous walks in each. Meals were great- healthy, plentiful and they cater for all kinds of diets! I can't say enough about this company and the high standard of tours- I am already planning to join their new Tours Western Canadian Rockies tour in 2018. Thanks again!

7 days National Park camping trip was wonderful. So many highlights during the trip that it is almost impossible to pick one. As you move ahead in the trip, Every national park will amaze you with its beauty. And to add to this, stories about every place by our guide Joel was the cherry on the top. There is driving involved almost every day but you will not get bored as Joel has lot of interesting facts and stories to share during the ride. Every day is very well planned and Joel definitely takes extra effort to make sure everyone is able to enjoy the place with appropriate pace. I was lucky to be part of an amazing group where we all quickly became friends and cared for each other. Though I joined as solo traveler, ended the trip with few new friends. And yes campsite at Monument Valley has direct view of Sunrise over the valley. Hence, chose the location for your tent wisely to enjoy the best sunrise from front porch of your tent. If you are looking for exploring Southwest, I would definitely recommend this tour and Bindlestiff. Everything is well planned and taken care of. Just go ahead, book the trip and enjoy Southwest.

Awesome. we had a great time. beware that it can be a physically demanding tour. there are a lot of hikes, and moderate at 8000 ft means strenuous at sea level. but it was just incomparable. I would definitely recommend this tour
