Very nice tour with the highlights from the area. Great guide, great campsites - good mood in the group- also thanks to Alex our tour guide. A great experience, gladly again
First and foremost, I must say that this 3 day, 2 night 'guided tour' by Jon (No 'H' please), was hands down the best guided tour I have ever taken. I have traveled with my family all over the world, but never experienced anything like this... We flew in to Las Vegas from California and met friends from Boston who wanted to see the Grand Canyon. My friend was very reluctant to take a tour because in the past she had done so to the Hoover Dam and said it was a silver-haired boring experience. This one was a complete 180, and she can't stop talking about it. From the moment Jon picked us up, he was a complete professional and and a true gentleman. He helped everyone on with their bags, accommodated everyone on the chartered van, and always let us know where we would be going and when and where we would be stopping. In those three days and two nights, we saw way more than we possibly could have imagined. Jon was so efficient with the itinerary and made sure he took us to key spots to take it all in. We had just enough time at each spot to see what we wanted to. We saw Zion Park, Antelope Valley, the Horseshoe, Powell Lake, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, a Navajo Reservation, and the Grand Canyon. In between stops, Jon became an entertainer with his great sense of humor and taught and informed us with a phd level of education from everything from Geology to Native American History to US History, etc. The tour was no less than fascinating. We traveled in a very comfortable van with 14 seats and met friends from Australia, Scotland, and Iran. The five of us were American. To maximize time, while we were visiting, Jon went out and bought great foods for us to make two picnic lunches that were awesome. He checked us in to two hotels that were awesome, and even brought us to the best Trading Post to buy authentic Souvenirs. Traveling with him made everything so much fun. We all laughed and shared information and stories. I came home with a book list and movie list of titles Jon referred to. I think it is incredible to have a guide that makes such a great traveling companion. I would do this tour over again in a heart beat, not only for the parks, but for the amazing tour guide. I'm guessing this company has all great guides, but I can't imagine one that would be better than Jon. This tour was well worth the cost. For the type of accommodations and information and guidance, I would have thought they would have charged three times. This was a world class travel experience that we will never forget, and we are already planning a second trip to Yellowstone. Way to go Jon! Way to go!Read full review
Fast tour of the area! See a heap and fit in lots! Jon was great at being flexible with weather and food! Very entertaining but be prepared to move quickly and have early mornings. Super organised!
Every place we went to was breath-taking. Amongst my favorite moments was hiking through Antelope Canyon. Jeeping through Monument Valley and learning all about this Native American land. The Grand Canyon took my breath away. And the Route ..66 drive back to Vegas was awesome, and so much fun. Must be said though that our tour guide and minibus driver, Brad, had a lot to do with the tour being amazing. He gave so much of himself, gave us heaps of interesting info about all the places, and was a great bloke and amazing American. Thank you Brad!Read full review
I recently took the three-day Canyon-lands tour, which started and ended in Las Vegas. It is a whirlwind, as you cover 1,100 miles in the three-days, so if you’re not up to a fast pace this isn’t the tour for you, but I truly had a blas..t. We visited Zion and Bryce National Parks the first day, which were breathtaking. The next day we went to Antelope Canyon, which is just mind-blowing and can only be visited with a Navajo Guide, which was all arranged. Then on to Monument Valley where many of the old Westerns were filmed, again with a Navajo Guide. We even had dinner at a Navajo home and were treated to Navajo tacos (on flatbread). The final day is the Grand Canyon, which made me feel very, very small and took my breath away. I opted for the helicopter flight over the canyon, which was totally worth it. With my 11 new friends, we hiked, ate, laughed and just had a great time thanks to our trusty guide Marie, who is absolutely wonderful. She kept us all going and truly knew the history of the area. She was also an excellent driver of the very nice, new van we were in. I would highly recommend it.Read full review
We covered 1,200 miles in 3 days visiting Zion, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and Seligman on Route 66. The accommodation was very good. The trip was well organised and our tour guide Chris was excellent. He a..lways went the extra mile to help us have the best possible experience.
It was a trip of a lifetime and one that I would dearly love to do again.

I had a really fantastic time on the 3 day National Parks Winter tour!! We visited Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Upper Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Zion National Park. Admist all the tour options, I was looking for one that would be.. authentic. They really delivered on that! Our tour guide Jon was very knowledgeable about our destinations, the history and he was full of great jokes and hilarious stories, which made the drives between each places enjoyable. We covered a lot of destinations in 3 days, and had a good amount of time at each to properly explore so I didn't feel rushed. One thing of the memorable things was the lunch spot they took us to after Monument Valley. We had a Navajo taco at a Navajo home. It was like walking into someone's home and eating their home cooked meals. Absolutely great, you can't get that kind of authentic experience anywhere else! These guys really know how to give you the authentic experience! Highly recommend exploring the red rock America with them!Read full review

And a very special thank you to Chris our tour guide, who instantly put everyone at ease. Nothing was too much trouble and he consistently went the extra mile to make sure we had the best experience. Thanks ChrisRead full review
We had a great 3-day tour with Bindlestiff. Jenni was a great, knowledgeable and very organized tour guide. There are so many fabulous places, Even though the 3-day tour was only a whistle stop tour, it gave us a great taste of the places c..overed, and Jenni worked to maximise our time at each place. to see... Zion was my favorite, followed by the sunrise at the Grand Canyon, and the helicopter flight is highly recommended. Fantastic tour!Read full review
We had booked the 3 day winter tour and experienced a spectacular 3 days. The views were unbelievably impressive. But what made the trip so memorable was our tour guide John who did an excellent job of providing us with all the information ..we could have wished for. Not only that- he brought the ?Wild WestRead full review
We would like to specially commend our guide, Evan, who did an outstanding job. His great personality and wealth of knowledge in history, geography and politics made the tours very enjoyable. He also paid special care to the safety of all p..assengers, from his safe driving techniques to constantly checking that everyone is well taken care of. Well done Evan! The tour also covered many of the key attractions in the national Parks. Truly a wel spent three days and the lodging accommodation was also very comfortable. we look forward to attending another tour in the near future!Read full review
Went with my son. Had a great time. Driving, viewing and hiking were well balanced, without too long drives. Was a good time to visit, despite cold, as crowds were down. Our guide Jon Maret was awesome. Comedian, fount of knowledge, he real..ly looked after us and took trip to a higher level with all his insights and stories. I really liked the hiking parts. Tour was also flexible (older people could walk less).
Overall, highly recommended

The two hotel used were great. There were many eating option..s available each night. Everything was as advertised. We can highly recommend the trip.Read full review
Just returned from a wonderful three day tour made all the more enjoyable by the knowledge
and wit of our guide Jon. Even though it was freezing cold in the Canyon and Monument valley,
we had the advantage of no crowds. This is a great time.. to visit, Zion was a highlight as the
weather was fine and spectacular scenery, really enjoyed seeing and learning so much in the
short time.
