100% A rapid winter tour of the SW parks and day trips out of LV
By: Anonymous | Fri May 10, 2019 at 12.00 AM
We were limited in time and wanted to see some of the great SW Parks. The 3 day trip was ideal as it started and finished in Las Vegas. There was a lot of driving to fit it all in but we did see all that we wanted.
We also went on two day ..trips out of LV - Death Valley and Ghost Towns. I enjoyed the Death Valley more that the ghost towns as the latter were so full of tourists and commercialized that they were not Ghostly at all.
They were well organised and professional. The guide (Joel) was excellent.Read full review
Amazing 3 days exploring beautiful national parks. Everything was really well organized and ran smoothly. The camp sites were really nice and a brand new vehicle! Our guide was super knowledgeable and always ready to help. Would recommend t..o all age groups and all levels of fitness as you can do as much or little hiking as you like!Read full review
Amazing 3 day trip! Antelope Canyon is a must do add on and the Navajo dinner was delicious. The camp grounds were better then expected and even had WIFI. Was pretty special to wake up and open out tent onto Monument Valley.
It was a fast-paced highlight tour allowing to see a lot of parks and canyons in a short amount of time! Waking up to a sunrise in the Monument Valley was priceless!
We covered a lot of wonderful sites and we all had such a great time. Our tour guide Evan was incredible, patient and dedicated. He explains the history, geology, etc of each places we visit making the trip even more enjoyable.
We opted for.. the camping option. It rained heavily the first night. After we were all in our tents, he walked around in the rain making sure that our tents were secured. Thanks Evan. Like we said when ended our tour... “We love you”.

The above summary says it all really. But beyond that, what made it particularly special was the exposure to Navajo guides and to Navajo hostess Sheila who welcomed us into her home and cooked for us.
Chris was a fantastic guide and an exc..ellent driver. Fantastic people skills.
Bryce, Antelope, Monument Valley, Grand......they are all amazing.
Strongly recommend

Amazing places and a very well structured and managed 3 days and the guide, Chris, was excellent: very capable, generous and informative. Also, the Navajo guides and hostess were great.
We had a fantastic time and would recommend it to anyone. Our guide Jon was extremely knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. We intend to come back next year.
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
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.
