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 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
Worth every minute of it!!!! Jenni our guide was great. A wonderful person and guide.
This tour is Highly recommended, you visit 5 spectacular places in 3 days❤️. Loved it.
Jenny, our tour guide for the 3 day trip around the Grand Canyon, was great! I would highly her. Very professional, complete knowledge of history and surroundings, amongst other things.
Thanks Jenny.
Just did a 3 day Canyon trip incorporating Bryce, Antelope & Grand Canyons plus monument valley.
Jennie our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful., pictures of these places do not do it justice you really have to go there.
I cannot believe we did so much in so little time! And yet, it still did not feel rushed. The sites were spectacular, as was our tour guide, Jennie. She had tremendous care for our group. I highly recommend this tour - it's amazing.
• What can we say?!?! This tour did NOT disappoint, but more than met our expectations. We felt like we were on our own version of the Amazing Race. Our tour guide, Jon, was professional, approachable, knowledgeable, organized, welcoming ..and FUN!!!!! He set the tone for the trip. Our travel companions-9 in our group-were 4 families who were strangers at the start of the journey and like family by the end of the 3 days. Highlights of the trip.....the tour included stops in: Zion, Bryce, Antelope Slot Canyon, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. The highlights for us were...ALL stops...especially Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley. We have been to the Grand Canyon 3times prior to this trip so we knew what to expect there. It NEVER disappoints. We opted for the hotel lodging accommodations vs the camping and the hotels were clean and comfortable. We were able to get a good night's sleep each evening after long, tiring, hot, EXCITING days of hiking, touring/sight seeing. When I was researching such tours, we chose this specific tour because it met our budget and schedule....BUT...the reviews I read about this tour persuaded me to choose this particular one. The reviews were glowing and I have to agree.Read full review
We had the BEST experience - worth every penny! Jon was such a fab and fun guide! He treated us like family and took great care of me and my daughter. His knowledge of the area is amazing - he talked to us the entire time, giving us complet..e history of the Indian tribes, the cities, the geology of everywhere we visited, and had some great stories to tell. He tailored the trip a bit to meet our requests - we saw more than we could have imagined. Jon was able to get us into Lower Antelope Canyon before it opened, so our tour was just 4 of us, first thing in the morning. We hiked trails through Zion and the Grand Staircase Escalante that we never would have found on our own. This was definitely the way to go!Read full review
I recently went on a 3 day tour of some pretty spectacular National Parks with Bindlestiff Tours. Given the limited time, we managed to visit some incredible places that included Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyo..n. Each is so different from the other and well worth a visit (or many!) Our tour leader, Joel was an excellent guide who shared his passion for the back country, knowledge about the land, its history and people and always had quotations from literature and poetry that were relevant to the region. He played his guitar while the group sat around the campfire and shared his stories and insights about the geographical landscape, the native people and anecdotes and stories about the places we visited - things you won't find very easily (or at all) in a guide book! The van is comfortable, camp sites are great (amenities and views!) and I'd recommend all the additional activities that come with the tour. You won't regret having a meal with a Navajo family or flying over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter!Read full review
This 3 day tour took us to places we would not have seen by ourselves including Zion and Bryce Canyons, Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley and also the Grand Canyon. Mike's extensive knowledge of the history, geology and landscapes found i..n these areas really made the tour for us. This is a fast paced tour seeing a lot in 3 days, however Mike had everything well organised to give us ample time to explore at our own pace in each place. The sights we saw were absolutely spectacular and the local people we met added further to our experience. We will fondly remember our time in this part of the United States.Read full review
I went on the 3-day national park tour to Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon in May and it was one of the best things I've ever done. Absolutely amazing itinerary that packed so many things into 3 days without it.. feeling too rushed. If you have limited time but want to do as many things as possible do this tour! If you are looking to do the big hikes in the national parks like Angels Landing or the Narrows you won't have time so keep that in mind. Jenny was our guide and was so incredibly patient and well organised, really appreciate everything she did for us. Camp sites were great and the included food was also really good. would recommend this tour to anyone! 5 STARS!!Read full review
This is a quick tour where we got to see so much, so is perfect for those with limited time. The places we visited were amazing and beautiful. Zion Bryce Antelope Monument Valley and Grand Canyons in 3 days. Our tour guide Joel was very kno..wledgable and interesting as well as a good safe driver. He made the trip easy and there was only 8 in our group too. I give this trip 5 stars but be under no illusion this is not glamping but basic camping. The tents are roomy but basic. The bedding is warm but the mattress is thin. Being summer I used the sleeping bag as a pillow as no pillows are provided and i slept in the sleeping sheet provided. I packed some thermals which helped as the temperature got down to about 15 degrees Celsius overnight then back to 30 by 9am! The camp sites are quite basic with great shower blocks. This is great as you are covered in desert dust by the end of each day. Food provided was great but again basic. Dont expect gourmet food. Its camping! Joels guitar and songs were a nice touch around the campfire at night. Sorry to go on about the basics but it is important to know all the details and not expect too much around the camping. The sites seen more than make up for this and you are so exhausted by the evening from this site seeing that you sleep well. Also dont expect to linger all day at each site. This is a quick 3 day trip with lots packed in. You could not see this much amazing scenery driving yourself so sit back and enjoy this awesome trip.Read full review
Fantastic tour! We have travellled extensively and taken lots of tours and Bindlestiff Tours is by far the best tour we have taken to date! Pre tour info and communication was professional and prompt. The tour itslef was planned extremely w..ell in order to maximise our time in each park. The drives were informative, entertaiing and scenic thanks to our fabulous guide Rachel Frampton. I can't rate this compnay highly enough. We camped and everythgin was great- great campsites with amzing views from the Monument Valley campground of the sunrise. This tour is well priced and departures are guaranteed. Being a small group adventure- max 14 guests meant we had a really personalized and flexible tour. We all left the tour as close friend! Read full review
Just completed the 7 day Yellowstone, Bryce Canyon, Grand Tetons. Beautiful parks; amazing wildlife. Mike Brown was our tour guide. We could not have seen as many sights going on our own. Mike is organized, experienced and thoughtful. He dr..opped us off at the top of Mammoth Springs and then picked us up at the lower parking lot so we didn't have to walk back up the big hill. When the weather turned rainy, Mike made an unscheduled stop at Walmart so we could buy ponchos. Instead of waiting in the long line to register for camp sites, he took us to another lake side scenic stop and then came back later to register. When we discovered we forgot our walking poles in the van after the tour was over, Mike personally dropped them off at our vacation house. Excellent service! Be prepared for long drives between stops, lots of hiking, and sleeping in tents for 5 nights. Memorable trip.Read full review
