My friend and I booked this trip last minute as our original trip with a different operator was cancelled... It must have been fate :-) the whole trip was awesome. Chris our guide / driver and entertainer was so much fun and really friendly... The parks were amazing and campsites perfect especially at monument. I am a regular hiker so could go off on my own for a faster walk if I wanted to while some of our group took it easier and enjoyed the stunning views at their own pace.. If your thinking about this trip stop thinking and book.Read full review

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and feel it was worth every cent. Be warned there is a lot of driving, but coming from Australia, we are used to this and don't mind. The almost new van was quite comfortable. All seats had safety belts.
The ..guide Bradley was so knowledgeable about everything we were viewing on the trip. Constantly telling us facts about what lay before us. The food offered was healthy and catered for vegetarians and vegans.
We did not camp and took the lodging option. This was fine. We are normally campers in Australia.
The Grand Canyon is on the list for the last day of the tour and if you get the chance to take the helicopter flight (50 minute option) you will not be disappointed. Certainly a highlight of our whole trip to the US.
The other destinations were also spectacular and I think Monument Valley would almost be up there with the Grand Canyon. Such an amazing country.

There was a lady touring with our group who seemed to be an extension of Chinese Tours, but we weren't introduced to her. When she boarded she allowed her group to get water and didn't offer any to the rest of us. She also spoke separately ..in Chinese, to her group after we were all given specific instructions. After the tour was completed and we were headed back to our drop off points, the driver made a special stop for her group at a mall which was not part of our itinerary. We didn't appreciate being treated like second class citizens during this tour.Read full review

My sister and I completed the lodging version of the 3 Day National Parks tour on 1 June 2019. It was WONDERFUL. I can honestly say it was the 'best' part of my 3 week holiday in USA, and there were MANY highlights throughout my entire hol... The tour itself covered the canyons beautifully - just enough time in each to 'feel' how special they are. They were all so different and beautiful in their own right - would hate to have missed out on one. The tour was planned and executed extremely well by them. The bus was very clean and comfortable (We were lucky to have just 8 participants, so plenty of room). Accommodation (motel style) was excellent, met our needs perfectly. But the BEST part of our trip was our guide, Chris P. He worked so hard to ensure everything went smoothly, and went above and beyond by showing us a couple of extra places not in the curriculum. Chris' relaxed, friendly, humorous, and approachable demeanour is superseded only by his attention to detail to ensure we all had a wonderful time. And that we did, Chris!!! Thank you SOO much :))Read full review

This tour is exceptionally cheap and for the price , it is really reasonable. You will not get any tour cheaper than this. Tour guide will also help you avail of the cheapest available food and souvenirs to think this is a C2 level tour gu..ide. Only downside was chaotic first day but it was also explained that first day is dedicated to gathering everyone coming in and out of the country. Over all you can’t really ask for more given the price of this tour. Thanks.Read full review
Our tour guide Evan thought of everything. He was kind, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. He was organized and prepared which was great considering we were traveling with a 7 and 8 year old. It felt like we were travel..ing with a true friend. We would definitely recommend the tour and we would do it again.Read full review
The overall experience was good. We went on a day with a possible chance of rain. The canyon guides (not the same as your tour bus guide) are locals and very nice. They made the experience very enjoyable. The canyon was beyond amazing! ..I could not stop saying WOW every time we turned a corner. It started to rain about 3/4 of the way into the canyon tour. The experience of that was different. Everyone rushed out as rain mixed with the sand. Boy was everyone sandy looking LOL!
After the canyon we had lunch then visit Horseshoe Bend. It started pouring when we got there. Horseshoe bend had a nice view but it was so gloomy and raining that it was hard to enjoy. Hopefully we will be back on a sunny day!
- Bus Tour guide was nice
- There were a lot of Chinese tourist on the bus but it didn't bother us. The guide spoke English as well.
- Tour bus became a little warm on the way there, not too uncomfortable but wished it was a tad cooler.
Tips:
- You have time to grab lunch after your Antelope Canyon tour. There are multiple quick eats in the area they let us off to grab food at.
- An in between stop is a convenient store at a gas station. Not a whole lot of options but if you didn't grab breakfast or need a snack for the road, there's stuff to grab.Read full review
Would have been lower if the natural beauty of the canyon not been so spectacular. We were the only English speaking couple on the tour and had to spend all day listening the tour guide give lengthy bits of info in Chinese. We were given.. the most basic info in English . This provider is obviously geared to the non English speaking Asian market and we will not recommend them to any traveler who needs English spoken.Read full review
