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 Navajo guide who had so much knowledge about the canyon.
Overall we like to say this is an item off our bucket list.Read full review
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.Read full review
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.Read full review
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 humou..r 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..Read full review
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, we will certainly travel with Binddlestiff again.Read full review
This was a great trip. We drove from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, stayed the night. It was well organised. Jon our tour guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the area we travelled through and very helpful to all the people ..on the tour, nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him.The Grand Canyon is so worth seeing and we had a good amount of time there. There was a choice of camping or staying in a hotel and the hotel we stayed in was nice, clean and the staff were friendly. The town Tusayon was nice as well. I would highly recommend this trip if you want to have a good look at the Canyon and you don't have a lot of time.Read full review
Our tour bus driver was wonderful! He gave us lots of fun facts & made the trip enjoyable. I wish I could remember his name! Our lunch was excellent except for they did not give us any napkins in our boxes.
The Grand Canyon was awesome. The first driver was knowledgeable and entertaining. The second driver was not so pleasant. Breaks were frequent but necessary. The lunch buffet could have had more menu items. (other than Italian) Upon returni..ng to Las Vegas, the drop off locations were not the same as pick up locations. As for those of us with disabilities, no considerations or options were available to drop us off close to our hotels. The second driver stated that the drop off locations were the only ones available.
Overall, the tour was really good. It was the best tour to see the canyon.Read full review
It was our family's first time to the Grand Canyon. For the amount of hours on the bus, the seats were snug and there was not a lot of foot room to move around. When sandwiches were given, eating on the bus was not very easy due to the la..p space. The sandwiches were good, but giving us 15 min to eat a sandwich like a human on a table at the stop on Route 66, would have been perfect and the weather was so fantastic too. But putting all aside, the driver was ok, he did not give any historical info on Hoover Dam but emphasized "numerous" times the Grand Canyon 3 mile trail and to be by the bus no later than 3PM. We got back to our hotel around 8:30'ish.
The bus ran out of water by the time we reached the Canyon. That is when the water was needed. This bus did not go to the Depot and we were picked up late.
Putting everything aside, the Grand Canyon South Rim is magnificent, majestic and just fantastic. It is a Wonder of the World!Read full review
This 7 day trip (August 6th-13th) in the Southwest canyons was simply amazing. It was our first experience camping and it will definitely not be the last! The landscapes that surrounded us during our hikes were breathtaking. We often got to.. see the sun set behind the mountains, displaying a fantastic range of colors.
Among my numerous favorite moments: the time Joel -our guide- took us to Dead horse point where we watched the night fall from a ledge overlooking the vast landscape before us, while listening to him reading some extracts from one of his favorite books, capturing the quiet but captivating beauty of the desert.
Another highlight would be the hike in the middle of the hoodoos in Bryce canyon: the warm orange colors are really unique. But every other place was spectacular as well: admiring Zion canyon from a high viewpoint at Angel’s landing was totally worth the climbing! We also got to see a few massive arches in Canyonlands, not to mention the impressive landscape in Monument Valley. I especially appreciated the hospitality of the Navajo family who welcomed us into their home to enjoy a traditional taco, while learning more about their culture.
I would also recommend the optional activities: Antelope canyon is the ideal place to take artistic pictures; the Hummer tour is awesome for those who like the thrill of a bumpy ride and the helicopter tour allows you to fully realize and admire the majesty of the Grand Canyon.
I really want to thank Joel who turned this amazing trip into an unforgettable experience, with his usual good humor. He shared his passion for the desert and the canyons as well as his knowledge of the region in history and geology, which was much appreciated during the car rides. I particularly enjoyed the night when we sat around a campfire, listening to him singing old songs while playing the guitar…
Everyone in the group was very friendly and our week was full of memorable moments.
I would highly recommend this tour with Bindlestiff and I myself sincerely wish to discover another part of the US with this wonderful company!

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!Read full review
