The Super Southwest Tour with Bindlestiff was greater than I even imagined. We altered our route to include all Mighty 5 National Parks of Utah as well as Goblin Valley State Park before heading down to Nevada to explore the Grand Canyon. The helicopter ride from rim to rim was exceptional! I especially enjoyed the tour through Antelope Canyon. Thanks, Bindlestiff Team, for taking care of all the details!

Hello! The tour was wonderful! We were able to see and do so much in the 3 day time period- our guide, Justin, was wonderful! He communicated clearly and was engaging and informative for the entire trip. He was also very flexible in accommodating those who couldn't hike as much or when the ice cream stand was closed, he was able to quickly pivot to a new plan. He made the van rides fun with stories and music and information about the areas we were traveling through. The accommodations were excellent! The add on at Lower Antelope canyon was well worth the extra money as were all the meals that were offered as extras. The jeep ride in Monument Valley was also fun and interesting. The only recommendation I could give is to make it clearer where the initial pick up point was- I wouldn't have known that Jason was just around the corner unless a security guard came and informed me. There was no one to call that early in the AM so it added a little anxiety initially. But I would rate this trip a 10/10 and would recommend it to anyone. One other thing - we didn't have children in our van but it made me wonder if you ever offered 'adult only' trips? Thanks for the excellent tour and the excellent communication before and after!

Did a 3 day tour with Anthony as our guide. The trip far exceeded my expectations. They packed in so much but Anthony never made us feel rushed. It is an amazing and beautiful part of the country with each park offering vastly differing sites. Anthony’s knowledge of the area and stories definitely added to the enjoyment. A 5* experience for sure!

We had an absolute blast on our National Parks Mini-Explorer trip! Our guide, Christy, was phenomenal. She was always full of great tips and fun stories, which made the drives much more enjoyable. The scenery is breathtaking. We were worried about visiting the southwest in July, and while it was hot, everything was doable. We appreciated the hiking suggestions tailored to all ages and abilities. The hotel option is nice so you have a comfy room to come back to after being out in the heat all day. The view from the rooms in Monument Valley are incredible. Highly, highly recommend!

Our trip was great. We had a small group, and a great guide. Justin was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. He kept us interested during the drive with lots of fun facts and animal sightings! My husband asks lot of questions but Justin was able to answer them all! We made some unique rest stops such as a Cuban coffee cafe, and a great ice cream place on Route 66. He gave us great guidance for navigating the trails, pointing out pros/cons based on hiking experience. He pointed out the "must see" highlights of each stop. I would definitely recommend this tour.

In our case it was a small tour. Basically a sprinter van. It was comfortable, though there were just three of us plus a guide. There were regular planned rest stops and a friendly guide. The lunches were sandwiches and chips. Perfectly fine. The breakfast and dinners were at places with just amazing buffets (or you could order something). We stayed in hotels which were perfectly fine, as advertised. If you want more time at the various parks, go for a longer period to give a day at each one. Otherwise you have a few hours to do the tours or walk trails and back on the road to the next park. You get what you pay for and I feel we got a good deal.

Tour was amazing!!I rated 5 of 5. The food was nice Tour guide was so kind and humorous Even if I was a solo traveller, I enjoyed the trip. If you choose the option of camping, you could enjoyed the view of nature when you wake up in the morning.

I didn’t know it was possible to see so many incredible sites and bucket list items in just 60 hours without even once feeling uncomfortable, hungry or tired! This company is organized and takes care of you from beginning to end! Grecia (our guide) was fun, approachable and full of knowledge! She was also open to learning new things and facts with each trip and letting future travelers benefit from the experiences of previous travelers. The gorgeous landscapes and views sell themselves…but to have a tour company take on the travel “headaches” of driving, organizing, suggesting the best options for what to do with your time based on your preferences? That is what makes the (reasonable) price completely worth it! They even offer a camping option for more adventurous travelers (not me). I look forward to future travels with this company!
