We covered 1,200 miles in 3 days visiting Zion, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and Seligman on Route 66. The accommodation was very good. The trip was well organised and our tour guide Chris was excellent. He a..lways went the extra mile to help us have the best possible experience.
It was a trip of a lifetime and one that I would dearly love to do again.

The tour for some reason concentrated more for the Chinese travelers and the guide translated every communication. The tour bus is the deceiving part, it sure is a Volvo bus but a very old one and bad condition. Not clean and the Chinese dr..iver focusing more on people making mess of the bus. To add to this someone removed their shoes and the bus started to stink with no proper air circulation. The intermediate stop was at a gas station(again Chinese) that did not have a restaurant for a quick grab. I wish they had stopped in the some designated rest areas that had some food options and better toilets. Even the lunch break was in a Chinese buffet when there were plenty of options around. Lucky for us there was Burger king and Subway at walking distance but had to rush to make it back to the bus in time.
The tour itself was good with a quick 45 mins of the Scenic Upper Antelope Canyon and an hour at the horseshoe bend (technically 10 mins since the hike from the stop to the view was a good 20+ mins and we had to return to the bus within an hour). I just wished the guide and the tour was more friendly and concentrated on the fact that people should enjoy the trip rather than just doing there day job. The worst was the enforced tips of $10 per person as a service fee. If it is a service fee it should have been along with the booking and not taking in cash without reporting it. People will happily tip if the service is good. This was more like we do not care what you think just pay us 10 bucks each.
Keeping these aside, Both Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe bend were amazing. Stick to the Antelope Canyon Guide(Navajo's own guide takes you inside the Canyon) and listen to what he says to have an amazing time inside the Canyon. Tour will be rushed considering the crowd but worth the money you spend it there. Make sure you give yourself some ample amount of time at the Horseshoe Bend, it is breath taking site and spent well.Read full review
The touring method at the antelope canyon was pretty restricted. The whole tour lasted approximately 45 minutes and we basically had to follow the tour guide closely during the entire tour. This might be due to the high number of visitors t..o the canyon. Due to the logistical arrangement, we have to take photos at all the "designated" spot and hush to the next spot. All in all, we did not get to really enjoy the antelope canyon scenery at our own pace as I prefer to take my own time whenever I am visiting somewhere new.
The horseshoe bend tour was better. The tour guide brought us there and we stayed there for about an hour. The time allocation was good and we got to walk around freely to take photos.Read full review
The trip was well-priced and accommodating for all traveling. I am giving a 4 star because the bus was having "issues" with a severe leak of fluid on the ground under the back of the bus. This delayed our return by almost 2 hours (stopping ..for refilling of fluids). Bus was not temperature controlled inside; never cool. We were lucky it was not a hot day. Would recommend.Read full review

I had a really fantastic time on the 3 day National Parks Winter tour!! We visited Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Upper Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Zion National Park. Admist all the tour options, I was looking for one that would be.. authentic. They really delivered on that! Our tour guide Jon was very knowledgeable about our destinations, the history and he was full of great jokes and hilarious stories, which made the drives between each places enjoyable. We covered a lot of destinations in 3 days, and had a good amount of time at each to properly explore so I didn't feel rushed. One thing of the memorable things was the lunch spot they took us to after Monument Valley. We had a Navajo taco at a Navajo home. It was like walking into someone's home and eating their home cooked meals. Absolutely great, you can't get that kind of authentic experience anywhere else! These guys really know how to give you the authentic experience! Highly recommend exploring the red rock America with them!Read full review

Upper antelope canyon and horseshoe bend are amazing. The overall organization of the trip was good, and the tour guide was doing a fair job in general.
However, the tour guide texted us a day before the tour that she would only collect c..ash - cash for the admission tickets, cash for the tips, and cash for the lunch restaurants. For my family, I didn’t prepare to bring several hundred dollars of cash at least to this domestic trip. I was thinking of paying for big items by my credit cards, but it didn’t work out for the tour guide. Several families complained about the same thing. They were asked to transfer cash from their bank accounts.
When I asked why they didn’t say it clearly in the website what to expect, I was told that it is just a common sense nowadays to bring a lot of cash when travel. I guess she is a tour guide, seeing cash all the time in a tipping industry, so she may not use credit cards like common people.
Other than this unexpected and unpleasant experience , the whole trip was worthwhile.Read full review
Our tour guide was a nice guy, however his English was difficult to understand at times. I wish Tours 4 Fun would separate the people who wanted a Chinese tour and people who wanted an English tour into separate groups. We had no idea that ..our tour would be catered to Chinese tourists.
Also we added $9 to our package for lunch, and the tour took us to Subway and said that we can only pick a $6 sandwich. Quite a rip-off, and I wish they would have just told us that we would have the option to purchase food during the tour. This was not made clear in the reservation process.Read full review
