Specutecular!! - The tour was amazing!! The views of the national parks were specutecular significantly. After dinner, we enjoyed roast marshmallow with tour members, on the camp site. Also, the guide, Jonny was kind, friendly, and attentive guy, therefore he considered the situation that my English skills were not perfect. In addition, when one of my tour members forgot stuff on the spot we passed by, he addressed the issue quickly by calling or sending messages. If you are not able to speak English, you will enjoy the tour.

5 STARS!!! - I highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to see the highlights of the desert and parks around Utah and Arizona. First up: Amber is a great host and guide. Super pleasant as a host, tying the group together and gave us interesting info of the places that we would visit along the way. We saw an amazing range of sites each one almost better than the other as we went along. For me, the standout feature of the trip was camping in Monument Valley under the stars. A genuinely incredibly beautiful place. We had 9 people in our group. A great size. We were fairly tightly knit by the end. Loved this trip. Thank you for the memories!

Unforgettable experience; the most out of 3 days. - Super well organised and well connected to the locals at the sight stops, the 3-day National Parks Tour allows you to experience the absolute maximum in a limited time. I recommend choosing the camping option by the way - a very nice add-on to the fun, and amazing views the second day… If you’re lucky, you get Joel as your tour guide : a fun guy and very knowledgeable. An unforgettable 3 days!

Amazing Trip of a Lifetime - I just got back from this 3 day tour and other activities coordinated through Bindlestiff Tours and it’s been the best holiday / travel experience I have ever had. The staff are brilliant our tour guide Mike was so knowledgable and ran the tour very safely and efficiently. The 3 day trip is perfect covering a huge amount in 3 days with out feeling rushed. We chose to camp which is an option or you can stay in hotels if you prefer. The camping was great though we slept under the stars and monument valley and woke to the most incredible sunset (see photos). This tour covers the Grand Canyon but some of the others included on the tour are lesser known yet in many ways we felt more incredible in their own different ways Antelope Canton is stunning and the colours are amazing where as Monument Valley is just classic cowboy film territory. I thoroughly recommend Bindlestiff and are already planning a trip with them to Canada .

One of the best tours I’ve ever been lucky enough to do - My Dad and I did the 3 day National Parks Mini Explorer in May. The entire experience was fantastic and I would recommend it to everyone, no matter your age. The tour was incredibly well organised. We drove huge distances each day but had early starts and late finishes to maximise our time. We were exceptionally lucky to have Branch as our guide. He has a passion for science and geology so he was able to explain how all the amazing natural features we visited were formed, but in easy layman’s terms that everyone understood. He also knew a lot about the history of the areas we drove through. At each stop Branch would give us a couple of options for walks that could be done within our time frame. There would always be a flat easy walk and a more challenging steep hike, so no matter your fitness level, you’d be able to enjoy the national park and see some of the best scenery. The parks visited on the 3 day tour (Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon) were all exceptionally beautiful and unique in their own way, so there is no way I could choose a favourite. It would have been nice to have an extra hour at each place to do more than one walk/hike but due to the long distances covered each day this was impossible. I was really impressed by the facilities at the national parks we visited as they had nice restrooms with flush toilets and some had water refill stations. We also stopped at service stations en route to use the restrooms, buy snacks and top up our water. The accomodation was great. Bindlestiff allowed my Dad and I to do a hybrid camping/hotel tour - we booked the camping tour but paid a supplement for one of us to stay in a hotel each night. We both agreed that the second night’s accommodation at Monument Valley was by far the best. I camped that night under an amazing canopy of stars and awoke to the most brilliant sunrise over the valley. Dad is still buzzing that his hotel Goulding’s doubled as a museum and he got to see where John Wayne stayed. It was my birthday during the tour and Branch went above and beyond to ensure I had a memorable time. Dad and I wanted to have a birthday dinner together at the hotel restaurant in Bryce and Branch kindly collected Dad later to drive him back to the camping site as it was a bit of a walk in the dark. Branch also surprised me on the second night with birthday cupcakes for everyone to enjoy. He also helped me find my credit card when I lost it and prevented my USA trip from being completely ruined. Honestly, I’m so glad we did this tour, and give it the highest marks you possibly can. As far as trip timings go, we started the trip on 25 May, and the weather was pleasantly hot, except at Bryce which was freezing (literally - the campers awoke with a thick layer of ice on their tents), so it’s worth bringing layers to wear if you travel at that time of year.

Full, Fun 3 days! - We packed so much into 3 days; we really feel like we experienced all of the canyons. We would highly recommend Antelope Slot Canyon—the guide was great and the structure is unbelievable. Our guide Jade had a good balance of music and information while driving us 1000 miles over 3 days, and we felt very cared for. We were lucky to be paired up with another family; the kids instantly took to each other, and the 2 single travelers fit right in as well. It was a great way to see a lot in a short period of time.
