I went on the 3 day National Parks tour and it was incredible! As a solo, female travel I felt taken care of and safe. I also felt informed by my incredible tour guide Chloe ! I highly recommend.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the tour. Good value for money. Adrian was a fabulous guide, a very safe driver who always had a smile and consistently demonstrated a sincere interest in the group’s enjoyment. We were the beneficiaries o..f his vast knowledge of the national parks and previous experience in touring groups. Even though we travelled many miles, the time was broken up with frequent restroom and stretch breaks. We visited many remarkable places. Adrian’s descriptions were really helpful. He added value to our travels by playing specially selected music as we approached specific destinations and the Polaroid pictures he took of us will be wonderful souvenirs! Bravo Adrian!Read full review
Our three-day tour round the canyons was amazing. We escaped Las Vegas just ahead of Hurricane Hilary, and managed to get most of the way through the trip without it catching up to us. We expected boiling hot weather but were pleasantly sur..prised that the hurricane had cooled almost everywhere down. Our guide Chloe was a wealth of information and took care of all our needs with grace and good humour.
Zion canyon had shuttle buses to take us to the various walking points - if you plan to walk through the water at The Narrows, bring water-shoes/towels and you'd need to do it pretty fast to get back in time. We were happy just to get there and eat lunch (delicious sandwiches). Bryce Canyon was even more spectacular, the hoodoos were amazing and the hiked down into the canyon provided mind-blowing views back up. That was definitely the most challenging walk, but we made it. Camping near Bryce was basic, our sleeping mats were not particularly
comfortable, but it was only one night, and we could catch up sleep on the bus. The campfire was a nice touch, and there was SO MUCH FOOD!
Day 2, our trip to Antelope canyon via the bridge over Lake Powell was superb, and so much fun going out in the jeeps. The canyon was astonishing and the local guide helped us take all the good photos. Next was my bucket list item, Monument Valley. Hot, windy and dusty for our jeep tour, but spectacular scenery, well worth the whole trip. The camp site was right in front of the buttes, such an amazing view. especially pre-dawn, with some stars still visible in the sky.
Day 3, big driving day, it was good to have several stops to stretch our legs and have bathroom breaks. From Monument Valley to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. And there, we got the outer remnants of the hurricane (just rain and mist) and thought we might not see into the Grand Canyon at all, just fog. We decided to walk along the rim in the rain, and would recommend that option to anyone, as part way the weather lifted, and we got ALL the good views. Really mind-blowing. The drive back into Vegas is long but was broken up with a visit to Seligman on Route 66, where we had hamburgers and milkshakes from the famous shop. Chloe kept us informed and amused with the stories and info on all the stops, she made sure we had food, tents, breaks etc and was an excellent guide. The tour covers so much in 3 days, but it was so worth it for us as our time was limited after our conference in Vegas.Read full review
Very packed, amazing three days. The guide Tim was great, making some last minute changes and accommodating everyone. The camping was a bit rough but worth it waking up in Monument Valley!

The whole tour experience was great. Hogan was a great guide and driver who allowed just enough time at each of the sites. The group we had was really well put together and each of the landmarks was an experience in itself and we would high..ly recommend it to anyone.Read full review

Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon were our favorites, although the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion were also extremely memorable. It was all good. Our driver/guide Spenser was very nice and capable. We would highly recommend this tour.. and guide. Also recommend the helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon… wow!Read full review
This was an absolutely AMAZING trip. When we sat around and asked each other what was their favorite part of the tour, my answer was MARTIN HARDY! He absolutely put everything together. He was helpful, engaged, caring, affable, gregarious, ..professional, attentive, timely, and all other amazing descriptive words you can think of. This was a celebratory trip and he made it more than amazing. We had an overflowing amount of fun, and experience. I don't often fill out the surveys and give feedback; I try not to complain or make things difficult. However in this case I feel compelled to state how much we appreciate and were over-the-top-blown-away! I will be back with my wife to do a 7 day tour and will request Martin (if possible). What an unforgettable experience. I cannot compliment your program more than this. Your team is well trained and receptive. They are prepared and enthused in trying to make our trip better. Martin was incredible.

Bindlestiff has planned the tours very well indeed and have packed a lot in. We did the three day tour of Grand Canyon, monument valley, Zion, Bryce Canyon and Antelope Canyon. The sights were extraordinary, safety was never in doubt, the g..uide was knowledgeable. It remains a solid option for travellers . Some feedback is herein: 1. Tour Guide - Spencer was very knowledgable, and clearly loves his job. However, he was not terribly approachable for the both of us - I do think the fact that we were from a dissimilar culture, being Indians, played some part in that. I think that’s a bit sad. 2. Planning - In planning the trip, I believe additional time needs to be allotted for Zion and Grand canyon - maybe the company needs to leave a bit earlier during rush season so as to ensure adequate time in Zion. It was a bit of a drag to not be able to do much of anything there. 2. Camping - in Bryce it was really really bad - the temperature was freezing and we had not been warned in advance - no one had the right clothing for it. My husband became a bit unwell and I didn’t sleep a wink. On the other hand, camping in monument valley was amazing - among the most beautiful sunsets and sunrise we have ever seen and right in front of the monument valley. 2. Camping - in Bryce it was really really bad - the temperature was freezing and we had not been warned in advance - no one had the right clothing for it.

On the other hand, camping in monument valley was amazing - among the most beautiful sunsets and sunrise we have ever seen and right in front of the monument valley. 3. Time allocation - This was the most important aspect of the trip and I am sure it’s hard for the guides and the company. However, there were some clear errors which do need to be corrected. In Grand Canyon, we were simply not given enough time to complete the two hikes recommended by the tour guide — and for no reason! Even if the time is extended by 2 hours, we would have gotten into Las Vegas in time. In my case the travellers split into two groups , one group, which was able to approach the guide with far greater ease was able to ask for an extension and finish the full two hikes but only by taking 1.5 hours more than the allocated time. My husband and I didn’t feel comfortable reaching out to Spencer and felt the need to get back as soon as possible and were just waiting around for an hour, twiddling our thumbs. I think Bindlestiff needs to recognise that it’s international clientele will never go back to these sights . There were sights I dearly wanted to see with my husband and I never will. That is genuinely very frustrating. 4. Miscellaneous - i wanted to add Spencer did drop us to our hotel which was a few minutes away from the drop off point which was greatly appreciated after a long 3 days. And for two hikes in the trip we were about 20 minutes late each time, and he had no problem. It was a great trip because the sights were amazing, our tour group was truly wonderful filled with lovely people, and it was mostly well planned!Read full review
This tour was beyond amazing! My boyfriend and I cannot stop telling people how it was the best vacation we have ever been on. Our tour guide Spencer, was knowledgeable, personable and attentive. We got to see the most wonderful sights and ..have the most wonderful experiences. The hotels were great! Food was decent. Best vacation ever!!Read full review

I joined the 3 Day National Parks Mini Explorer Camping Tour led by our superb guide, Martin. I normally would have preferred the comfort of staying in a hotel/lodge, but glad I made the right decision and selected the camping option. It ad..ded a new dimension to the adventure. Got a quick camping 101 from our expert guide who assisted us in setting up and taking down our tents. The camping equipment - tents and related items provided were spacious and in superb conditions. The campgrounds reserved for us at both Bryce Canyon and Monument Valley were clean and safe. We got a front row view of the famous buttes at Monument Valley. Breakfast. The tour was well organized, and we were fortunate to have Martin as our guide. He drove us safely to the various destinations, gave us plenty of opportunities to take good photos - sunset with a view of the hoodoos at Bryce Canyon, sunrise at Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, rock formations at Grand Canyon, narrows at Mt. Zion. Everything went well, as planned.Read full review
