The tour was exceptional. We were amazed by the wonderful sights (as anyone would be I think) but Mike made the whole experience fantastic too - knowledgeable and generous at every stage. Thanks for making our first exposure to US natural ..wonders absolutely unforgettable.Read full review
I was traveling with my wife & two adult children. The short version is I would do this trip again & highly recommend it to others. I have listed the following details for further consideration:
COMMUNICATION: when considering this tour ..with other companies, separated themselves with how quick they answered any question & addressed any comments (we) had...
GROUP: had the maximum of (14) tourist from all over the world. We were the only ones from the "states," not counting our tour guide, who did an excellent job getting everyone involved. This really added to this tour...watching adults see & play in the snow for the first time. Priceless.
SITES: Rt 66 souvenir shops, Grand Canyon rim walk & look-outs, Monument Valley, Horse Shoe Curve, Glen Canyon Dam, Zion... AWESOME! Our tour guide did a great job in keeping everyone moving along, BUT not feeling rushed or hurried. The ANTELOPE CANYON is listed as "optional," I highly recommend that you do this. It is well worth the extra cash.
TOUR GUIDE: Turned out to be Mike L., who we had on another day tour with this company about a year or two ago. As last time, Mike seems to sincerely like his job & his enthusiasm & desire to share information is contagious...often getting the whole group going.Read full review
Had a great trip with Mike. He was a fab tour guide very knowledgable and good fun. Recommend who were brilliant with their communication and it all went to plan so thanks.
Where shall I start! We chose to do the 3 day lodging tour, over camping as the weather was starting to turn a little chilly in the evenings, being Mid-late October. We arrived early on the first day and immediately set off for Zion Natio..nal Park, which was amazing. We then headed off to Bryce Canyon to watch the sunset that evening, which was the highlight of my trip! The following day, after breakfast, we set off to Antelope Canyon, which was incredible. I took some of the best pictures of my life there! Antelope Canyon was followed by Monument Valley, where we spent the evening on a jeep your of the valley, followed by dinner of traditional Navajo Taco whilst watching the sun set over valley. The next morning we were up before dark as we didn't want to miss the sun rise over the valley, a truly spectacular site, and one I wont be forgetting in a hurry! After breakfast and loading up the van we then headed off to the Grand Canyon, where we walked a section of the south rim, followed by a helicopter tour, which should be on everybody's bucket list, highly recommended! Our tour guide Justin was a top guy, really knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating and an asset to the company. His dialogue alone the way was very informative and helped pass the time. A big thanks to the Bindlestiff Tour team for a holiday of a life time!Read full review
I chose the 3-day camping tour to see Bryce and Zion NP, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, and Grand Canyon and I wasn't disappointed. Our tour leader, Justin, was professional, very knowledgeable, passionate with what he does, funny, and a..ccommodating with everyone's questions and different needs. Having these qualities as a tour leader is important for it can make or break a tour participant's individual experience.
The National Parks are all great, not enough time to do a bit more hikes due to time constraints but was understandable because lots of interesting places were packed in 3days. Each place we visited were all amazing but the Monument Valley experience was the highlight for me. Waking up and seeing the break of dawn with silhouettes of the buttes was just amazing and breathtaking. I definitely recommend(ed) this tour to my friends and to everyone here.Read full review
we had a fabulous time. The canyons topped our expectations. The organization, logistics, timing and guide's knowledge and enthusiasm were superb. Thank you !
We were the three day National Park Tour. It involved covering a lot of miles between parks and a relatively tight schedule. Mike, our guide, kept everything moving and was so knowledgeable about everything that the long stretches between p..arks was kept interesting when it could have been nap time. I have already recommended this tour to a number of friends. Loved it. Mike was the best.Read full review
I went on this trip with my brother and his wife in mid-September. We selected this tour because it visited all the places we wanted to see. We found the experience to be outstanding and we highly recommend. We were on a tour bus with 11 pe..ople total, almost all from outside the US, and we quickly made friends. Our tour guide, Justin, was knowledgeable, competent, and attentive, making the experience enjoyable. He kept us on schedule without rushing people and gave us lots of background information on the sites we visited. We went to Zion, Bryce, and Antelope canyons, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon within a packed three day trip. We especially want to thank the staff who located one of my relatives lost wallet the morning after the tour, then quickly delivered it to their hotel in Las Vegas. What great service! We highly recommend this tour.Read full review
What an amazing camping experience! (Even for a novice camper.) The tour is fast paced, fitting a lot of activity in a short amount of time. Our guide, Mandy, was very organized and informative. The beautiful landscape of this open country ..lends itself to outstanding photography. I loved Antelope Canyon, but my favorite site was Monument Valley on the second night. The open jeep tour really gives you a unique perspective of the open countryside. The traditional Navajo meal that evening was delicious. The best part was waking up that morning on the rim with the sunrise over the open landscape and the buttes in the foreground. The whole experience have me a very peaceful, grounded feeling. An added bonus that I wasn't expecting was the interaction with the international group. People from so many countries worked together setting up and breaking down the tents. I would definitely recommend this tour for any age groupRead full review
I took the 3-day tour to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon.
Mike, our tour guide, was great. Everything was very well organized and he was helpful with all we needed.
All sceneries were breathtaking, s..pecially the sunset in Bryce Canyon and the sunrise in Monument Valley.
I highly recommend.Read full review
Awesome time with my girlfriend and mother. Jenn is a very experience and hardworking tour guide. Everything we experienced was amazing. My mother made sure she took a card from Jennie so that she can be sure to book another trip in the nea..r future soon. This was much more than just a sightseeing tour. We learned a lot about history, culture, geology and much more. This tour was educational as well as entertaining. By day two of the trip, we felt like we were on a road trip amongst friends and I think that was the design of the tour.Read full review
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
