Our tour guy Marshsl talks too fast both in English and Mandarin. He did his job but zero excitement. He was busy talking not to the group but one to two people sitting close to him.
Wonderful time at the Grand Canyon. Would have liked a closer view. Or even been able to step out onto the Hoover Dam. But that was my misinterpretation.
I booked this tour because it was a Unesco tour and that had been recommended to me. On the information I received it said it was a primarily Chinese tour. It listed 2 tour guides, but there was one. There were 5 English speaking folks o..n the tour I know of. We were all not satisfied. I learned nothing from the tour guide. I had to sit in the front seat of the minibus and could hear very little of the tour guide speech. The other English speaking folks said it didn't matter as they couldn't understand him. They were so upset they wanted to get a rental car and get off the trip. Course that not an option At the Hoover Dam stop I told him I hadn't heard enough to know what was going on. He said no worry he would catch me up. Never did. All I feel he did was had out our tickets at Grand Canyon! I appreciated the communication before the tour date. Our pick up was 30 minutes late, which I know is not their problem. I did text the guide and he said they would be here in a few minutes, to me means 5 as he said they were at the stop before us. It was another 20 minutes. Traffic not an issue at that time of the morning. My seat on the bus was not comfortable as I had to sit in the front with the driver. I was concerned when I got in and there was a gallon of motor oil at my feet. The driver did not speak English and was a cigarette smoker, so he would smoke at stops. Away from the mini bus, but the smell was lingering when he got back in. I have a definite aversion to cigarette smoke. I saw what I wanted, but saw so many other tour guides telling people stories. I learned more from the camera man at Eagle Point than I did our tour guide. Be wary if English Speaking!Read full review
Very nice. Did not have time to visit the Ranch because we did the helicopter and river rides and time limit by the the Tour bus company. Wish you would let people take pictures on the Sky Walk with the personal cameras. Lunch was really go..od at Gauno, loved getting out on the rocks for pictures.Read full review

Very good tour. Our tour guide was very informative and super nice. I only wish we had had the opportunity to tour inside the Hoover Dam. I have been told you can actually go inside and see a short film which gives you more information abou..t the dam and how it built. That would have made this tour great.Read full review

This was the best time planned tour ever. The bus arrived on time. The tour guide and driver were efficient and very nice. Our day had a schedule that everyone followed that gave us plenty of time to see all we wanted to. The meal that was ..included was delicious. Wish it had not been so cold outside as you had to eat in the windy cold.Read full review
From start to finish, this tour was memorable for all the right reasons. The tour is incredibly well organised. Our tour guides, Jennie and Evan, were knowledgeable, clear on meeting times & their expectations, helpful and generous. They ap..proached each day with enthusiasm, never hesitating to answer our questions about national sites, geology, culture, weather forecast for the day and the days ahead so we were always adequately dressed and topping us up with water throughout the day while also sharing anecdotes of their experiences. Notes for the tour: - On most days (especially if you are camping) you will need to get up early (~6.30am). However, this is just so we can cover the distance to get to locations before major tour buses do (completely worth it) and you can catch up on sleep while on the drive. - At every destination there are activities which can range in intensity. It is your choice on what kind of climbs/walks you'd like to do so this is great for all ages. Our tour guide provided us with the information needed to choose the appropriate walk such as altitude, distance and time. - Catered lunches are usually sandwiches with cold meats and condiments. - Pit stops occur every 2-2.5hrs and is usually at a gas station. This provides you with time to grab a coffee, snack and anything else you may need. Our tour guide informed us of which stops had the best toilet facilities. - As I chose the lodging facilities, I would rate them between 3.5-4 stars. Each facility had warm showers, comfortable beds & heaters. There were also facilities to buy snacks, souvenirs and dinner within the hotel complex. - I would highly recommend doing the Antelope Canyon & traditional Najavo dinner as they are inexpensive but was by far for majority of the tour participants - Definitely bring a backpack containing a water bottle, sunscreen, wind jacket (as it gets very cold and windy at times), sneakers, jumper & clothes you can comfortably walk in if you intend on going on more arduous walks such as activewear. Thanks to Jennie and Evan for such a great time! I would definitely return to tours4fun the next time I am looking for a tour.Read full review
The tour was great! The places we visit were amazing, the Grand Canyon is a must see! The only bad thing was the lack of English translation... I know English speakers are not the mayorista of the people that uses the Tour4fun website... BU..T even if you have one English speaker guess you need to translate EVERYTHING to English and make sure the directions are clear TO EVERYBODY... for us the trip was a little stressful because we didn’t understood the directions correctly because it was 3 words in English and 20 min in Chinese... obviously we the English speakers didn’t get the whole information...Read full review
100% 3-Day National Parks Camping Tour: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon from Las Vegas
By: Anonymous | Mon Feb 05, 2018 at 12.00 AM
What an amazing tour! It was non-stop for 3-days and I feel like we saw everything. Our guide, Jennie, was AMAZING. She knew everything and treated everyone like a friend and really made our experience even better. From Zion to Bryce to Ant..elope to Horseshoe to Monument Valley, to the culmination of Grand Canyon, this tour was visually stunning and educational. And the camping locations were great, especially in Monument Valley and waking up to the sunrise. Thank you to Bindlestiff for taking care of all the logistics and providing a safe, educational experience and a great itinerary. I can't wait to do another tour in the future.Read full review
