From the moment Mike picked us up (in plenty of time to load up ) from the moment he dropped us off we had the most amazing adventure.This company really knows its stuff.You needn't worry about anything as everything is planned with precisi..on and delivered with expertise.Mike's commentaries were illuminating and delivered in a lovely easy listening style with lots of stories along the way but all pitched perfectly. We had 12 travellers,I think the bus can hold 14 and we were comfy (some people swapped around the front seat to stretch their legs but we were fine at the back) MIke made plenty of comfort stops very welcome to us aged adventurers. On that note (being pensioners)we coped very well with the camping (with some assitance where needed) and the walks that Mike recommended for us were appropriate while the youngsters set off on more challenging trecks.(the lodges we saw also looked very nice but we were pleased we camped) The variety of scenery on this tour is mind boggling.All the Diné guides (they don't like the term Navajo) were beautiful people who shared so much (even an oil skin coat for my knees when we had a downpour returning from Monument Valley) We will never forget this experience. Our helicopter flight in the Grand Canyon was cancelled due to bad weather in the west but a refund appeared promptly and we still had a great day.If you are thinking of taking this trip from Vegas please don't hesitate it will be the trip of a lifetime !!Read full review
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 walks to do. We opted for the hotels 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!Read full review
"This is without a doubt the best tour I have ever been on. Our guide Joe was great, he was chatty, it wasn't ever awkward and he was really knowledgeable about the places we were visiting. He was able to advise us on any questions we had a..nd was very approachable. This is a jam-packed trip and suitable if you're limited for time. You spend a couple of hours at each national park so look at the 7 day version of this trip they offer if you would rather have longer at all the places. We were only in the states for a week so this was perfect. We started with a pick-up point outside the back of the Stratosphere Hotel - which is good as it means you don't have to spend time picking up every traveller from their individual hotels. There were 12 of us is in our mini van and a nice variety of nationalities. You spend nearly all your time with everyone so the social side is a huge bonus. We set out to Zion National park - which is breathtaking. You can hike to see the Emerald Pools on this trip. It's worth noting you don't have a guide for all the parts of the tour - but you're provided with maps and advice regarding the best routes. This is perfect for us as sometimes we wanted time alone to explore. You can obviously choose these parts to do solo or with the other travellers in your group. We then went to Bryce canon from here which was again stunning. The landscapes just get increasingly more and more beautiful. The highlight for me was camping on the rim in Monument Valley. You are literally facing the beautiful landscape that is nostalgic for Wild West fans. The campsites are really cosy - all essential camping gear is provided, you are helped with setting up the camp and there is access to good quality showers and bathrooms. The main site even has wifi which is luxury. Obviously the Grand Canyon is another amazing aspect of this trip. The minivans are air-conditioned and have a couple of USB charge points. There are also lots of souvenir shops along route. Another highlight was travelling on route 66 and stopping at a local café for shakes. You pay a bit extra for evening meals ($50ish incl. the trip to Antelope), but they're all tasty and there is loads to go around.
All in all I can't emphasise how great this trip is, especially if you are only in the States for a short amount of time or haven't visited these locations before. I'd have been comfortable on this trip if I was a solo traveller as well (as there were a few in our group) as everyone is friendly and there are plenty of opportunities for social activity, such as s'mores around the campfire."Read full review

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 in to three days. Was a real highli..ght of our time in the Southwest and blessed relief from the profligacy of Las Vegas.Read full review
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 itine..rary 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.Read full review
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.

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!! ThanksRead full review
I had a great time on the 7 day southwest national parks trip. Our tour guide was awesome, super knowledgeable and great fun and really made the trip. We fit so much in to the 7 days but it also felt like we had lots of time to explore each.. park. The campsites were great and the food was delicious - all made by fellow campers. I would highly recommend this tripRead full review
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!
