How our tours work

Tours & Vacation Packages

Most trips here are shared coach tours: you travel with other travelers on a set route, which is why they cost the least per person. Multi-day routes board in a set departure city, so where you start narrows what you can join more than where you want to go does. Small group tours run with fewer people, sometimes on routes the coach tours do not cover. Private tours give you the vehicle and guide to yourselves. Things to Do are single admissions rather than tours.

Regions do not connect on one trip. The East Coast runs as one corridor, the West splits into separate loops, Canada needs its own flight, and Europe and Asia are trips of their own.

GOOD TO KNOW

Tours - FAQ

  • How do you book a tour?

    Choose a departure city, pick a date, and book online. Your confirmation gives the pickup point and time — these are set by the route rather than chosen at checkout. Prices are per person and change by season.

  • What is included in the tour price?

    Multi-day tours include hotels, coach transport and a guide. Attraction admissions, most meals and gratuities are usually separate. The tour page lists what applies to that route.

  • Why is the final price higher than the price shown?

    The price shown is per person based on two people sharing a room, before optional activities and admissions. Adding those, or travelling alone, raises the total. The booking page shows the full amount before you pay.

  • You are travelling alone. What does it cost?

    Prices are per person based on two sharing a room. Travelling alone means paying a single supplement for the room. On some tours you can be placed with another solo traveller of the same gender instead.

  • Are tours available in languages other than English?

    Most tours run with guides who speak both English and Mandarin Chinese. The tour page states which languages a specific departure offers.

  • Do you need a passport?

    Yes for any route crossing into Canada, including Niagara Falls tours that visit the Canadian side. Routes staying within the US need government-issued photo ID. Visa requirements depend on your nationality.

  • Can you cancel or change a booking?

    Cancellation deadlines and refund terms are set per tour, not site-wide. The terms for a given departure appear on its tour page and in your confirmation email.

What Travelers Say

Collin and Shawn both were extraordinary guides.only problem we faced was sitting in three seats van from Boston to Newyork.it didn’t have enough space for leg room.

—HASMUKHBHAI · 6-Day Classic East Coast Tour from New York with Airport Transfers

The tour was excellent. The tour guide was very cooperative and friendly. He took all efforts to make the tour a memorable. We could see the hidden treasuries of American national parks. My score for the trip as well as Guide is 10 out of 10.

—Subhendu · 7-Day Yellowstone, Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon and Lake Tahoe Tour from San Francisco

We came away appreciating the national parks even more. Would definitely recommend Subi if you ever get the chance to tour the canyons and national parks. Would give more than 5 stars if I could 💯✨

—Caryn · 2-Day Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon & Zion Tour from Las Vegas | Small Group

Tour guides Shawn and Ricki were amazing. All the attractions were covered as planned. I have undergone multiple tours but accent was hard to follow at times but didn’t have problems this time at all. Food considerations were noted and they stopped at appropriate place. They were very knowledgeable and informative.

—Naresh · 5-Day New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Niagara Falls, Boston Tour from New York/New Jersey

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!

—Doreen · 7-Day Camping Tour to Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands and Monument Valley from Las Vegas

I took the tour and we covered over 40 filming spots, from Carrie's brownstone to Buddakan. Lunch wasn't included, so I grabbed something on my own, but the flow was smooth and fans of the show will enjoy it.

—Bhavana · Sex and the City Hotspots Tour

This is amazing Tour . We did 3 days with Shan and 1 day New York with Angie. This tour main focus in for Washington DC , Niagara and New York. Just pick up from Philadelphia and 1 hour there. Both tour guide are nice and friendly and knowledgeable. You don’t need to think about anything, you can be relax and enjoy your trip.

—L · 4-Day Niagara Falls, Philadelphia, Washington DC, New York Tour from Philadelphia

I was initially a little surprised to be only English speaking person in tour, but I got into rhythm and this tour is so very well planned, that you capture each site at just the right time of day. Hotels were fantastic and tour guide Yue was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

—Sheree · 4-Day Grand Circle National Parks Tour: Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches from Las Vegas

I had a really great experience on this tour. Kevin communicated with us in both Mandarin and English and was extremely knowledgeable about the canyons we visited. He was also very friendly and accommodating throughout the trip, always making sure everyone was comfortable and was happy to answer any questions. The itinerary was well planned and his directions were easy to follow. Harry, our bus driver, was also very nice and helped make the long drives feel safe and comfortable. Overall, it was a really enjoyable tour and I would definitely recommend it.

—mel · 4-Day Grand Canyon, Antelope, Zion & Bryce Tour from LA/Las Vegas | Premium Coach, 5-Star Vegas Hotel

This tour linked several national parks well. We spent a fair amount of time on the coach, but each stop allowed about an hour to stretch and take photos. Antelope Canyon was optional at $105 per adult; since I was there anyway, I thought it was worth joining.

—Merlin · 5-Day Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon and Theme Park Tour from Las Vegas | Premium Coach

Our guide, Justin, was incredibly professional and provided us with a wealth of information about the history, the local people, the wildlife, and everything related to the places we visited. The tour was exceptionally well organized, allowing for a relaxing pace with ample time to explore the national parks. We felt at ease and truly enjoyed the experience!

—Haley · 3-Day Grand Canyon, Zion, Lake Powell and Monument Valley Tour from Las Vegas (Winter Tour)

Amazing tour from start to finish. Great customer service, great guide, great group, great accommodation (we chose the hotel version). Really exceptional. Just DO IT!!!

—Alan · 3-Day Grand Canyon, Zion, Lake Powell and Monument Valley Tour from Las Vegas (Winter Tour)

Six days covered the major cities in the eastern US and Canada—a packed but well-organized route. My favorite part was the Niagara Falls night tour; the illuminated water was spectacular. It was a mandatory add-on at $45 per adult, but I felt it was worth it.

—Christena · 6-Day Eastern US and Canada Deluxe Tour from Washington DC

The bus tour took us past the holiday lights and movie locations around New York, linking up spots like Rockefeller Center and Central Park. I especially liked the Central Park segment since it was featured in Serendipity. A guide was on board, and taxes were covered in the tour price, which made things easy.

—Christian · New York Holiday Lights and Movie Sites Tour

I spent a day walking through Central Park with an actor guide, visiting Bethesda Terrace from The Avengers and the Boathouse Cafe from When Harry Met Sally. It felt very immersive. Lunch wasn't included in the tour price, so I bought my own.

—Wesley · Central Park TV & Movie Sites Tour

On my winter visit, the first day was switched to the Corning Museum of Glass, and watching the live glassmaking demo was interesting. Still, without the gorge walk, the day felt a bit thin.

—milagros · 2-Day Niagara Falls Essential Tour from New York or New Jersey | All Activities Optional

We took 2 took 2 days Niagara Falls trip from NY along with my 6 year old son we had lot of fun and enjoyed every minute without any headache. Accommodation was good. Sufficient information was provided before visiting the place.

—Manjuprasanna · 2-Day Niagara Falls Tour from New York or New Jersey - Falls, Boat Ride & Night Lights

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!

—Susan · 3-Day Camping to Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell & Monument Valley from Las Vegas (Summer Tour)

We had an amazing trip to the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas. We were able to see the sunset the first day and the sunrise the second day. Paul, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and he directed us to all the best spots. The drive is long, but we passed the time listening to some groovy tunes. Thank you for a great family trip!

—Leon · 1-Day Grand Canyon South Rim and Hoover Dam Private day tour from Las Vegas

We took tour starting Wednesday (August 5) from Flushing, NY. The tour guide Judy was wonderful and very friendly and took personalized care of everybody. I had fallen a bit sick on the tour, she went to great lengths to make me comfortable, because of which i quickly recovered and went about the tour as planned. She is a great asset and systematic, gives clear-cut instructions, cautions people on what not to do and keeps track of everyone. Our second tour guide on the last day just for New York city Sean was equally wonderful and very skilled at driving in Manhattan roads on crowded summer weekends. Knows the city thoroughly and was very caring with clear instructions. One suggestion I would give is to include central park instead of Saint Patrick church. The church's architecture can be shown from outside.
