From the guide being so well organized to the included food options, everything was so wonderfully prepared. It was my first real multiday camping in the southwest. The equipment and food were quality and the campsites were more than accomm..odating. We were promised a fast-paced and fun trip and Marie definitely did not disappoint. She was so knowledgeable about her American History and geology and even about the religious aspects of the toured sites. The hikes were moderately challenging but had options to go a little easier. Definitely shouldnt be too delicate on this trip as its dusty and dirty and you will help with the gear. All around amazing experience and thankful to have booked with them!Read full review
Every place we went to was breath-taking. Amongst my favorite moments was hiking through Antelope Canyon. Jeeping through Monument Valley and learning all about this Native American land. The Grand Canyon took my breath away. And the Route ..66 drive back to Vegas was awesome, and so much fun. Must be said though that our tour guide and minibus driver, Brad, had a lot to do with the tour being amazing. He gave so much of himself, gave us heaps of interesting info about all the places, and was a great bloke and amazing American. Thank you Brad!Read full review
We had a great time during these three days, the tour is very well organized. The guide of a great kindness made us discovered very beautiful landscapes. The circuit allows to discover several parks in 3 days. At each stage we had the choic..e between several hikes. The camping option allows you to immerse yourself even more. The only negative point will be the quality of the food. (the first night we are sold a barbecue but it is not at all the case)Read full review
We managed to pack in so much sight seeing it is a busy tour and you get to see so so much. I cannot believe how much we did get to do. Zion park is beautiful and Bryce Canyon with Snow was magnificent to see. Monument Valley is just so spe..ctacular and somewhere I always wanted to go. We took an optional tour to Antelope Canyon a dinner on Navajo farm and helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. This tour is suitable for young and old. Our tour guide Marie was very knowledgable and attentive, we were very well looked after. Highly recommended ++++++Read full review

We would like to specially commend our guide, Evan, who did an outstanding job. His great personality and wealth of knowledge in history, geography and politics made the tours very enjoyable. He also paid special care to the safety of all p..assengers, from his safe driving techniques to constantly checking that everyone is well taken care of. Well done Evan! The tour also covered many of the key attractions in the national Parks. Truly a wel spent three days and the lodging accommodation was also very comfortable. we look forward to attending another tour in the near future!Read full review
I recently took this tour with 3 friends. The entire tour consisted of only 13 so people were very friendly. We were lucky to get Marie Easton as our driver and guide. She was fabulous! She took very good care of us the entire time. We saw ..scenery that was unbelievable! Make sure you take the optional Lower Antelope Canyon tour. Having been out west several times before and experienced the beauty, I guarantee that you will be blown away! Marie provided delicious food, and our accommodations, while not fancy, were comfortable and clean. I highly recommend this trip!Read full review
100% National Park 3 Day Tour - Great trip - really enjoyable
By: Anonymous | Sun Sep 29, 2019 at 12.00 AM
We chose the lodging option so stayed in hotels for the 2 nights of this trip. We had a great bunch of people on the tour from the UK, US, Australia and NZ and Chris was our tour leader. He was great, provided loads of great information and.. brought fun to the tour. We really enjoyed seeing Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Glen Canyon, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and parts of Route 66 on our way back to Las Vegas.
The days are full on - early starts with days finishing about 7pm - apart from last day which is about 8-8.30 pm. However there are loads of opportunities during the day to stretch legs and have a break from the minibus - this is in addition to the longer breaks for going on trails/walks at the National Parks/Canyons. We did not do any of the optional tours but Antelope Canyon seemed to have been really good,
The pre-tour communication from them was really good and helpful in terms of clothing to bring and what to pack. The bags go in a trailer behind the bus - so I would recommend keeping suitcase sizes small if possible. I know that some tour members kept their main suitcases at their respective hotels in Las Vegas and just brought the equivalent of carry on suitcases on the tour. Chris arranged for all the suitcases to be delivered to our hotel room both nights which was really helpful.
We are new to doing tours but delighted that we found Tours and highly recommend them.Read full review
Joseph Paul Olguin was an excellent,fun, and knowledgeable tour guide. He is priceless! We were 12 people from 8 different countries. I was the only American citizen born in the U.S. It was a fabulous time together.We learned a lot about ea..ch other. We became close like family. We enjoyed participating in the work and camping out . Everywhere we went we met fine people. The native american guides at each place we visited (Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon) knew so much and brought the place to life . At the Grand Canyon the information we learned about geology, minerals and the erosion time line was inspiring to me. I am part native american and cajun, so I appreciated the history being told to us. Joseph did a superb job helping us appreciate what we were seeing.There is too much that we enjoyed that i can not really write about it all. It would take too much time. Good Job! I will try to take more small tour trips in the future.Thanks !!!Read full review
The tour was well organized and there was sufficient time to enjoy every location we visited. The tour is great for people who want to see these parks but do not have the time to take a week off. No time is wasted during the trip, start to ..finish. Our guide Bradley was awesome. If you are not into camping, I recommend the lodging option.Read full review
100% Excellent circuit, dense, very well organized.

Excellent circuit, dense, very well organized. The camping formula allows you to be closer to the parks and to live in Monumental Valley an unforgettable sunset and sunrise. Our guide Brad has taken the history and geology of these parks, a..ll with anecdotes and lots of humor. It is strongly recommended to visit Anteloppe Canyon and to participate in the meals offered. Recommended circuitRead full review
We participated in the death valley tour and a 3 days National Park tour with them. We found them to be professional and reliable. Our guides were good drivers and knew the places well providing good information and tips for the trails or p..aths we can do while we are at each of the national park and also places we can eat at. The vehicles used for these tours are new and clean. Especially love that the tours have small groups and the participants are all nice and considerate people who stuck to the guide's plan. If you don't plan to drive yourself and wish to meet like-minded people while visiting the magnificent places, it is definitely a good option.Read full review
Skip the beach, and take your family on this adventure to see some of America’s most beautiful places. Our guide, Evan, was perfect. He is a teacher who has travelled to many, many countries. In well-timed bits and pieces, he told about t..he history, geography, culture, geology, and fun facts about every place we visited. Extremely knowledgeable. We never felt inundated. We always had a heads up on the plan for the next 4-6 hours, and Evan had a very thorough plan.
In addition to my 3 teenagers (who LOVED every moment hiking the medium-hard trails), we had a lady in a wheelchair with us. She also had a great time, with activities and paved trails she felt comfortable on. We travelled in a 14-passenger van with a trailer attached for the luggage, tents, and food.
Food - The lodgers ate breakfast at the motel. (There was also a grocery store that we could buy food from.) On the first day, Evan had purchased us sandwiches for lunch. On the second day we had a picnic and made our own sandwiches! On the third day, we made our own sandwiches and took them with us into the Grand Canyon. Dinners were on our own, except the second day. We had a lovely Indian taco dinner at the home of a Navajo-Diné family on the Navajo reservation in Monument Valley (optional). The first night the lodgers ate at the motel (delicious buffet) and the campers went to a BBQ, all optional with the grocery store nearby. The third night we ate in Seligman (Route 66).
Lodging - We chose not to camp in tents and paid the extra for a bed in a motel (heated room, private shower, extra sleep). It got down to 34 degrees, so good choice! Our motels all were in fantastic locations. Waking up to the sun coming up over Monument Valley is breathtaking. You can’t beat being 5 minutes from Bryce Canyon either.
Zion - Do the moderate trails! The easy trails were PACKED.
Bryce - Do the easy-moderate trail in a clockwise fashion. Walk among the hoodoos!
Lower Antelope Canyon - Do it!! Must be able to go up and down steep stairs. Stunning photos to be taken.
Monument Valley - Bring (or purchase) a handkerchief for the dusty roads. You are in an open vehicle with dust and dirt being kicked up.
Grand Canyon - It’s crowded, but lovely.
Grand Canyon Helicopter Tour - if you can afford it, do it!! Just my son and I did it. The views are far and beyond what you see in the ground. The helicopter allows you to see all angles, more rock formations, and more of the river.
Bonuses include Historic Route 66, Powell Lake, Glen Canyon Dam, wildlife (Antelope, deer, rams, elk, condors, bison, squirrels, lizards, and much more!), John Wayne’s cabin, movie locations, tunnels, and more.
What to pack - what they suggest, plus portable phone chargers and a book for the road. We wore sneakers and did fine.
There are plenty of comfort stops to use the restroom and get snacks and drinks.
My teenagers are pretty mature kids. I would be hesitant to bring a child younger than 8 or 10. We had early starts and late nights. Some people napped on the van, but I couldn’t.

An unforgettable experience! Packed itinerary but very well organised and executed. Saw some amazing views and scenaries which is well worth the miles travelled. A special shoutout to our friendly guide Alex who clearly knows his stuff and ..loves the landRead full review
Wonderful tour! We did a three day camping tour and although we never camped before, it was a great experience. We learned much about the history of the sites and people. John was our tour guide—he was very patient and we enjoyed the stor..ies he shared. It was nice to have everything planned out for us! Food was good, we stopped often and had plenty of time at each stop. Would definitely book another tourRead full review
