100% Geyser, Glacier, Grand old time with Bisons in line
By: Anonymous | Fri Sep 20, 2019 at 12.00 AM
An efficient itinerary using Salt Lake City as a gateway (one of the cheapest airport to fly to), though a longer drive for our guide Alex.
We did hiking - up the glacier lake overlook and canyon vista, down the river bank; swimming - again..st river chill while soaking in hot spring. Some of us had a crash course of very first camping experience, trying to fit in a sleeping bag. Lunch on the go with hearty tasty dinner cooked every day. Starry night, surrounded by invisible (occasional audible) wildlife buddies, we savored wine, tea, played game by the camp fire. Breakfast is important for most and there were variety of options for us to choose. Though we were rushing every morning to eat, I wish we could get up earlier to see at least one sunrise.
Alex, the most knowledgeable tour guide I've met, introduced us on wide-ranging topics, from geology, forestry, wildlife, to history, all while driving and without referring to a hard copy. There were facts and figures published to educate, also anecdotes and speculations to entertain (or scare some fainthearted).
I only wish longer time spent in Yellowstone. If Grand Canyon is a Yang to top all the national parks, Yellowstone is a Yin with billowing steam exuding everywhere in sight, provoke all imaginations wild and eerie.

Travelled with them on the 7 day SW National Parks lodging tour AND the 7 day Yellowstone Camping tour Both had fantastic well thought out itineraries which allowed us to choose the hikes that we wanted and pack in as much as we could in th..ose 7 days. Also the tour leaders (Marie and Chris) were great and added to the enjoyment of the tour in their own unique ways. Highly recommendedRead full review

Excellent tour guide... however, the success of the tour depends too much on the weather. It was snowing and the visibility was so restricted that I couldn’t see the rocky...
The seven day tour takes in some must see destinations. Outstanding tour. In hindsight I should have gone for lodgings rather than camping as the weather in spring can get cold at night.
100% Best Tour Ever! Yellowstone Tour from Las Vegas with Bindlestiff Tours, 7 Days- Beth Cobbler
By: Anonymous | Thu Feb 28, 2019 at 03.16 AM
I completed this tour in 2018 and it was hands down the best tour I have ever taken! WOW! The parks are amazing, that goes without saying and I have photos and memories to last a lifetime. Bindlestiff Tours was a pleasure to deal with- they.. communicated with me quickly and professionally prior to my tour with accurate and useful information. We even received a packing list and weather update a week or two out. Our tour guide was exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable and gave plenty of in depth area information which was both entertaining and interesting! At each location we were given ample time to explore ether at our own leisure or as part of the out group- the guide always made sure that all of our interested and walking abilities were catered for. Great food, great company, I enjoyed the small group aspect of the tour with only 14 guests it made it easy to make new friends and we had some great evenings together around the campfire. I am vegetarian and was fully catered for. This company really does care! The bus was brand new and extremely spacious and comfortable and the camping gear was of a very high level with air mattresses supplied for added comfort. Overall a phenomenal tour and we will definitely be traveling with Bindlestiff Tours again - THANK YOU!Read full review

We recently went on the 7 day Southwest tour followed by the 7 day Yellowstone tour. We chose the camping option. All our expectations were exceeded. The itinerary was full on, allowing us to see everything on offer and more. A huge thank y..ou to Chris Patrick, our guide. He kept everyone engaged, entertained, watered and fed. No request or concerns went unanswered. He's an asset to the team and we would
DEFINITELY recommend you do these trips. Being able to stay right in the National Parks was fantastic.Read full review
100% 7 Day National Parks Private Tour with Rachel. Sensational Trip!!!
By: Anonymous | Mon Aug 20, 2018 at 12.00 AM
From the time we first contacted Rachel, right through to the very end of our
trip, we had such a personal, professional, friendly, informative and thoroughly enjoyable
experience. Rachel customised this tour based on what we wanted to see ..but made very
valuable suggestions re the split between camping and hotel options and the timing of the
activities and sights we saw on the trip. The end result was one of the most amazing touring
experiences our family (incl. kids aged 9 & 10) have ever had.
We enjoyed commentary of the areas we drove through, several stops off the beaten path that
we'd never have found or known about without Rachel's insight and even road games with the
kids as well as Smores by the campfire, which the kids loved.. Rachel's thoughtful attention to
detail in picking up passing comments and turning them into further opportunities to enhance
our holiday experience added another personal touch that we really appreciated. An example of
this was Rachel observing our interest in the 4th July decorations ready for the celebrations the
next day. A couple of phone calls later and we were able to stay on in Page, Arizona to join in
the fun.
The tour vehicle was roomy, comfortable and clean and the hotels we stayed at were all lovely,
well located with full amenities including a pool.
A few of our many memorable highlights on this tour include Rachel securing a prime camp spot
for our stay in Monument Valley, right in front of the monuments where we were able to see the
sunrise with unimpeded views, swimming in Lake Powell, guided Navajo tour through Antelope
Canyon, hiking below the rim into the Grand Canyon, a horse trail ride down into the floor of
Bryce Canyon, visiting Horseshoe Bend and the kids completing their Junior Ranger Programs
in Bryce and Grand Canyon National Parks.
Rachel's knowledge of the South-West is immense and it's easy to see she thoroughly enjoys
what she does. So proactive and enthusiastic, her energy was infectious making us eager to try
things we might not have thought of. We would thoroughly recommend it if you're
considering venturing to this part of the USA.Read full review
This was one of the best bus tours I've been on with this company. George was an awesome tour guide. He let us sit in front for the entire trip (Shhh... that's supposed to be a secret). We also traveled with a great group of people which.., I believe, made it even so much more enjoyable. The highlight for us was soaking in the hot springs pool after coming down from our long hike at Arches National Park. It was quite an experience for us being first time hikers. We almost gave up halfway through but it was so encouraging and inspiring to hike with someone who had a pacemaker and most likely twice our age. It didn't stop them from the hike so who were we to give up, right? =) I would definitely go on this tour again especially if they bring George back and give us another great birthday discount. I highly recommend this tour (if it's still available).Read full review
It was a great 7 days tour with Bradley as our guide! Brad was great! he is so helpful and
making sure each enjoyed the most of the trip :) all the destinations were a WOW for me, all are
in my bucket list and can't believe I could visit th..em all in one go! Make sure you drink A LOT of
water! but Brad always made sure we have enough water whenever we reach each stop, and
he would prepare enough ICE and WATER in our van :)) the campsites were all GOOD! with
toilets and showers, the monument valley campsite was definite the best campsite ever with that
VIEWWW~ and I got to meet so many nice people around the world in my tour, we got to hike
together in early morning, setting up camps and eat together in amazing places... definitely a
MUST DO if you would like to experience Utah! thank you Brad!Read full review
