Great tour! Joe was an Awesome guide. Very relaxed and well planned for solo traveler. Also , it didn't hurt that we had a great group who lived well. Beautiful scenery and great bang for the buck. Highly recommend for solo travelers.
Wonderful 3 day national parks tour from Las Vegas - excellent value, highly recommend
"We wanted to book the 7 day national parks tour and it was full, so we booked the 3 day tour instead and it was fantastic from start to finish. The iti..nerary is packed, make no mistake about that, but Bindlestiff know about tours and what works. There was never a dull moment and we traveled with two other families and a couple, 13 of us in all, lovely people from around the world.
Our guide was Brad, a 40 something well travelled, quirky, funny, friendly guy who knows his stuff and shares as much or as little as you want. He has great life stories to share too. The route was well planned, the locations, stops and everything were excellent. All the recommended walks/ trail routes were perfect.
Our routing was scenic throughout, departing from Las Vegas to Zion (via Glen Canyon/Dam), Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon, also stopping along Route 66. We added on the optional Antelope Canyon which was mesmerising, plus a 25 minute helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, which was fabulous.
The vehicle, tents, sleeping bags and equipment were in excellent condition. The tents were new and easy to put up/pack up. Sleeping bags / sleep sheets were spotlessly clean and in excellent condition. Very clean hot shower and toilet/washing facilities. Camping locations were perfect (the second night with a clear view of Monument Valley for sunset and sunrise).
The trip stops were all amazing and wonderful each in their own way and its not possible to say one is better than the other! We highly recommend this trip, Bindlestiff Tours and Brad.
We are also going on the 3 day Yosemite tour from San Francisco and will review that."Read full review
We booked this tour a year ago and then COVID entered the US in March 2020. We were so fortunate to be able to take this tour; my husband I were Bindlestiff's first tour to occur as Nevada, Utah and Arizona began to open. The trip was every..thing we had hoped for! We chose the lodging option and the motels were very clean and comfortable. We also encountered several areas that were still closed due to COVID. However, Joel our guide made sure to fill in with exciting places that were not on the original tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a highlight tour through these national parks.Read full review
I literally (Joe literally said literally a lot) cannot say enough good things about this amazing trip.
Our guide Joe was super friendly, VERY informative, and made sure all needs were met the
entire three days. This is a PACKED three day..s and totally worth the money. Zion was hot but a
great solid hike. Bryce was delicately beautiful and one of the best hikes I've ever done.
Camping was a bit chilly in the morning but expected. Horseshoe Bend was just stunning! The
jeep ride through the Navajo Reservation with Joseph was very informative and a great way to
see Monument Valley. Even managed a picture where Forest Gump says "I'm gonna go home
now". Day three was all about the Grand Canyon! I'm glad the hike around the rim was easy as I
was pretty wiped but the views, WOW! A quick stop at a historic Burger/Milkshake shop on
Route 66 was a great way to end this trip. I highly recommend this trip and this company. I was
well taken care of from beginning to end. TIPS: Hiking backpack with water bottles, saline nose
spray (for those coming from humid climates), cash for a tip (Joe deserved every bit of the $$),
and choose the camping option...you won't be disappointed. Thanks for making my bucket list a
little shorter!Read full review
The best tour I ever booked with tour company. It was only 3 of us as it was late in the season
and COVID-19 i guess but we were very lucky to still have it on. Stunning places, all worth
seeing, very well organized, great group of people.. and our tour guide Khriss was very
knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and funny. Thank you!Read full review
What an exceptional trip with such a knowledgeable tour guide, Joe. He knows so much about each park and points out every possible point of interest. The beauty of the parks alone is sufficient to amaze anyone. I have a fear of heights, but.. Joe was masterful at minimizing my quirk. My favorites, and it is so hard to pick, was the "slot canyon", Zion, and Monument Valley. Having a tour and a meal with a Navajo was very interesting and informative. If you are interested in a first rate experience, choose the tour! If you are lucky enough to have Joe as your tour guide, and Cindy in the home office for administrative support, you will have hit the jack pot.Read full review
I opted for the camping option and let me tell you it was worth it.
Our first night was in Utah, where the campsite was really cosy, clean, with well equipped bathrooms.
Our second night in Monument valley was less comfortable but the view ..compensates you.
Breakfast and lunch is included, it is mainly sandwiches but well enough.
Don't skip the Navajo meal at Monument valley.
Our guide Joel was the best we could have had. He is extremely funny and knowledgeable, no matter if it's about geography, history or popular culture, he knows the answer.
I'm really happy I got Joel as a guide as his personality added something extra to the tour.
I definitely will choose them again for my Yellowstone tour as they provide great value for your money!

Away from the hustle and bustle of Vegas we found natural wonders beyond our expectations. We travelled with tour and their service and Joel’s driving and guidance meant we managed to see and experience so much! Our visit to Antelope Cany..on was the biggest surprise and highlight of our visit. Hiking through Bryce Canyon while a huge challenge to my level of fitness was also a great highlight and so worth the effort.Read full review

Me and my son just came back from this tour. Our guide Joe is well experience and gave us good history of each place. It's a lot of driving which I don't mind as I enjoy sight seeing anyway. I have crossed out lots of places in my bucke..t list for a short period of time.Read full review
Had a great time on this small-group 3-day trip. Joe Olguin our guide/driver was a real gem of big personality. Never a dull moment on this trip. We did everything and were well fed throughout the whole 3 days that ended with suppler at a d..iner on Route 66. the perfect experience. Must also say how impressed I was with the back-up team in the office. Amazingly easy booking experience and they kept me informed etc right up to the day of the trip. Would certainly look at this tour company for their tours if I were traveling in other areas where they operate in the future. Well done guys and thanks (and Joe!)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
From the guide being so well organized to the included food options, everything was so wonderfully prepared. It was my first real multiday camping in the southwest. The equipment and food were quality and the campsites were more than accomm..odating. We were promised a fast-paced and fun trip and Marie definitely did not disappoint. She was so knowledgeable about her American History and geology and even about the religious aspects of the toured sites. The hikes were moderately challenging but had options to go a little easier. Definitely shouldnt be too delicate on this trip as its dusty and dirty and you will help with the gear. All around amazing experience and thankful to have booked with them!Read full review
