The most amazing solo trip I have taken in years. Although there is alot of driving from place to place, once you are there, it is hard to explain how amazing it is to just look at the gorgeous canyons and valleys. It was very cold sleeping.. in tents at night my trip was early May, but that's part of the experience and well worth the view when you wake up in the morning overlooking Monument Valley. wish every national park had the option of camping for multiple days. I would HIGHLY Recommend this for individuals who are solo travellers or can't get anyone to go have an adventure with them. The individuals I met also solo adventure travellers are awesomely cool people from all over the world. Two pieces of advice:
-Don't plan on getting much sleep. You will be too busy enjoying nature for as long as possible.
-Forget using a cellphone, your phone will either die from taking pictures or from lack of signal.Read full review
Fantastic bi-lingual tour guide, Diana, and wonderful driver, John. Both of them are very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable.
Very packed schedule and lots to see. Enjoyed every bit of it.
The tour group consisted of people wi..th diverse background and origins. Some members came from places where courtesy and considerations are not their focus yet, and so we need to understand their background and perceived rudeness. Nevertheless, a very fun group!Read full review
The tour was very enjoyable and well executed. Our guide Diana was amazing providing all needed information in both Chinese and English. She was attentive to all details and took care to keep us updated and make sure we had a great time. .. Our driver John was a good safe driver and on time and always parked in the best spot available for the customers. The entire trip was very well managed by Diana and we were able to visit all the places on the itinerary. Overall very good experience.
Only comments for improvement opportunities- The Ramada Plaza hotels were really nice and with great amenities, so suggest perhaps drop the one night stay Baymont in favor of Ramada. The other suggestion, is instead of dropping all customers around 2:45 PM - Denver airport try and add in another location for example The Wild Animal Sanctuary (close to the airport). Most of the customers flying to the East coast of US had to stay in the airport until 11 PM to 1 AM to catch their flight because all were informed to book flights after 5:30 PM.Read full review
An awesome and unforgettable moment. Although the journey was long & tiring & but beleived me, the trip was worth the money. Kudos to the organising team. Would love to go again for a different trip.

This was 7 day/6 night camping trip to that took us from Zion Canyon, Bryce, Arches, Canyonlands, Monument, Grand Canyon and a lot more more. We had a tour guide that exceeded the expectations of every single person on the trip. His name wa..s Justin. He knew so much and provided an amazing education of the natural beauty and geological characteristics of the land. And, he was a real nice guy. This trip wasf antastic because of the camaraderie of the group fostered by Justin, a powerful combination. If you can, ask for Justin ,he'll make the trip over the top. Take this trip while you canRead full review
The local guides Tours, were very well organized and planned everything in detail. Our guide, Justin, was a third-generation expedition leader and took care of us as if we were family. I cannot praise him enough. Our group of 13 campers inc..luded 4 Americans, several Brits, and a delightful mix of other foreign-born travelers. All were stronger hikers than us but we had a great time as well. This trip is great for active hikers looking to visit a lot of places in a short amount of time. We very much enjoyed the optional additional activities of the Hummer tour and the canyoneering outing as well--don't skip these!Read full review
Just have to say what a wonderful adventure we had. Our Guide Jenny Dufour was tireless in her enthusiasm, was so knowledgeable about the parks we visited and the many miles we travelled seemed like a small journey. Myself and my wife had ..married in Vegas the day before our journey and opted to camp under the stars rather than lodge. We are so glad we did, especially on the second night when we woke up to a wonderful sunrise over the magnificent Buttes and Maces at Monument valley. I also recommend the optional Antelope canyon trip with local Navajo guide , it is a photographer's dream. The stop at the Glen canyon dam and the final visit of Grand Canyon, (we opted to have a helicopter flight over it) was the icing on the cake). Thank you Jenny and Thank you Bindlestiff for a memorable three days out in the wilderness, I really hope to have the opportunity to adventure with you again some timeRead full review
Our tour guide Chester was nice and efficient to make this big group of 55 visitors enjoyed the trip. Appreciation to Leo, our coach driver, made our long bus drive a comfortable and safe. Though half of the trip was windy and raining, the ..scenic spots were great.Read full review
I was looking for an opportunity to visit Mt Rushmore, but from my city just the air fare was very expensive. So I kept looking for tours and found this one from Denver for a very reasonable price that included Mt Rushmore and several other.. parks (some of which I only knew by name). It was an incredible experience, the entire itinerary was enough to see all the beauty and mesmerizing landscapes and considering the distances and the amount of places we visited in the amount of time given it's truly an experience in itself. We spent a lot of hours on the bus, very long days, but that is expected whenever you are traveling to across the US.
The entire tour group kept up with the schedule which is very important for the entire experience to make sure we accomplish all the points in the itinerary which we did. Both the bus and the hotels were very comfortable. The tour guide Alan was very knowledgeable and made the best recommendations to make the best of this experience, both regarding the sites we visited, keeping the group on time, as well as organizing our breaks, stops, seat assignment, breakfast/lunch/dinner locations, grocery shopping, itinerary schedule, wake up calls, departure times. Pam the driver was incredible, it was a very smooth ride considering how much we spent on the road and always kept us safe and took care of a minor mechanical problem in less than an hour which allowed us to stay on schedule.
Overall it gave me the opportunity to see a lot of places that I wouldn't have had by myself given the distance and the need to drive to them. I've gotten great comments from friends and family who have seen the pictures and cannot believe these places are real and want to see them by themselves. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to see all these places in one tour, particularly Yellowstone and Arches National Parks were the main points (despite Mt Rushmore was my initial interest, these places were outstanding) where you can take amazing postcard-like pictures to keep the memories.
Thank you so much for your great service and attention, I went by myself yet I felt accompanied and taken care of all the time. I truly appreciate it and hope to join another tour soon.Read full review
I enjoyed my trip! The guide gives you enough time to sight see the locations. It was great, all guest got along with each other and we even had 2 lady's sing in Chinese.
Great experience, wished it didn't end!
We just finished the three day camping tour and would recommend this tour to anyone. All the places visited were amazing. Our tour guide Mike was really helpful and knowledgeable and a great problem solver. We enjoyed this trip, well wor..th it.Read full review
