Beautiful sites with unforgettable views and experiences. The tour was very well organized, on schedule, and allowed for a good amount of walking and hiking for all fitness levels. The accommodations were reasonable. We watched a beautiful ..sunrise from our room at the Monument Valley. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave fascinating insights.Read full review
I was 100% happy with our tour. It was well organized and our tour guide, Indy, was fun, friendly and very knowledgeable. I am so blessed to have had such a wonderful trip with my two sons and absolutely recommend Bindlestiff Tours!
This tour was the best money ever spent! It truly exceeded our expectations. Chris was our tour guide, and we had a nice, small group. There were 4 of us in the van and a family of 3 following by car.
From start to end, the organization wa..s meticulous and the communication was on point. Chris made sure all information was conveyed and questions answered. All Covid protocols were explained, and I think all of us felt safe traveling together. Chris was personable and enjoyable to travel with.
The van was comfortable and had ample storage space for luggage and supplies. We chose the hotel option, and both hotels in Bryce and in Monument Valley were clean and conveniently located. Ruby's Inn in Bryce was particularly cool and was located in a cute little town.
The sites we saw were beyond comprehension!! Nature is a true wonder! Zion, Bryce, Horseshoe Bend, Monument Valley, and Grand Canyon are truly breathtaking. Antelope Canyon was spectacular and should be part of the itinerary, not an optional add-on. Our family and friends are amazed at the photos we took. Bonuses like dining with a Navajo family, seeing Forrest Gump's cross country path, and seeing Route 66 and the town that inspired "Cars", the movie, were icing on the cake!
I can't say enough (clearly!) about this unique experience. Many friends asked for the tour company name and want to take this tour.Read full review

First of all Cindy at Bindlestiff Tours Customer Service was great and handled all our queries patiently and provided all the required information.
Jon as the driver cum Tour Guide was great - he had detailed knowledge of the places we v..isited and scheduled the activities very well. Because of his effective scheduling we(family of 3) were able to do 3 hikes - Part of Bright Angel Trail in Grand Canyon(2 miles into the canyon and back), Zion Narrows Riverside Walk(we were also able to wade 25 meters into the Virgin river at Narrows) and the 2.9 mile Queen's Garden Trail and Navajo Loop in Bryce Canyon. We were also able to swap Horseshoe Bend for Lake Powell. We were given an option of Navajo Taco.
Dinner at a Navajo family home. The dinner was very good. The lodgings at Bryce's Inn and at Monument Valley's Lodge were excellent as was the sunrise view from our sunrise view room at Goulding's Lodge. Jon stopped at various view points on the way and also took our photos(Desert View, Mather Point for 30 minutes, Checkerboard Mesa, Lake Mead etc.). Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend Bindlestiff for any of the tours listed on their website.Read full review

This 3-days trip gives us a wonderful time and fantastic memories. It is unbelievable that we visited, saw, and experienced so many places in this 3 days. These parks and Monuments are truly breathtaking. Besides well organized by Bindlesti..ff, one of the reasons that we have a wonderful time is Chris, our super cool tour guide. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. He told and pointed all interesting places on the way to the parks. The balcony of our room in the hotel near the Monument Valley is faced to the Monuments and it seems this is a real "The View" hotel. This trip truly exceeded our expectationsRead full review
We have returned from our private (2 couple), 11 day guided trip to the Utah National Parks with extension to Death Valley and Yosemite, and can’t say enough superlatives about how beautifully everything went. We were blessed with beautif..ul weather and no adverse effects of the California wildfires. Our upgraded accommodations were all perfect and well curated. Each of the individual parks and monuments had their own grandeur and majesty. Our tour guide, Chelsea Nielsen, could not have been better. She was a delight from first to last. She was knowledgeable, had a special interest in botany and fauna, remained cheerful and upbeat despite the long days spent in the company of ‘seniors’ and was a careful and observant driver to boot. She constantly gave us good guidance as to treks that were interesting and appropriately strenuous, provided snacks and refreshments whenever needed, and, most importantly, remained exceedingly flexible when we requested minor itinerary alterations. This truly felt like a custom trip. We received tremendous “ bang for our buck”. Your trip was more than fairly priced- I know we saw more, had better guidance, and most definitely enjoyed ourselves more than if we had traveled with some better known and much more expensive competitors. I cannot give Bindlestiff enough in rating stars , from the pre-trip planning through to the last day of travel, everything was perfect. Thanks again!!Read full review
We got to see so much in a short time and that's thanks to Joe who kept us on schedule and fit in as much as he could for us. The trip was amazing and very well planned.
I took the 7-day camping tour to Utah national parks and Grand Canyon with Chris as my tour guide. It was my first time camping, Chris was very helpful at walking me through the process of setting up and disassembling the tent. By the end, ..I was able to do that by myself from the start to finish. It was a great camping experience. As for the tour we got to visit many beautiful sites. There are hiking options available for all levels. I would like to thank Chris for being such an excellent guide for making this trip as smooth as possible and attending to everyone's needs. I highly recommend this tour.Read full review
Our family took this tour in Sept 2021 and loved every minute of it. We got to tick everything from our wish list, so many national parks and other sights! There was plenty of time for walks in the parks and a good variety of optional activ..ities based on individual interests. Bindlestiff staff were excellent pre tour and gave us helpful tips and packing suggestions, the staff was always extremely prompt and courteous. Our guide Jon was outstanding. His in depth knowledge of the areas we visited and enthusiasm was incredible. He went above and beyond for the group at every opportunity. Thank you- we are already planning our next adventure with you!Read full review
I had such and amazing experience on the 7 day Southwest trip! We saw so many breathtaking sights and every activity planned was curated to be how you wanted to experience it! Our tour guild, Chris, was very knowledgeable in offering sugges..tions for those who wanted challenging hikes to those who wanted to relax with being on vacation and everyone in between. I chose the camping option and really enjoyed meeting and interacting with everyone over campfires and s’mores I will definitely be back for another tour with the company!Read full review

We did the 3day Southwest Tour with Bindlestiff,in the August end, and I must say it was amazing.. Our guide,Jill,was very informative and we got to know a lot of things from her.. She took great care of us for all the 3 days. We took the h..otel option, and i must say, the stay was far better than we expected, especially, the sunrise that we saw from Golding’s Inn(Monument valley)will be a lifelong memory. Also the food at Golding’s is just so nice. Within three days you get to visit Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon. So, if you are up for a packed program and ready to be on the road for 12 hrs everyday and want to visit all these places within a short period of time , just go with Tours4Fun.Read full review
Amazing trip to National Parks (Yellowstone & Grand Teton) in Montana/Wyoming! Each day, the guide made it possible to explore tens of incredible places in addition to the standard touristic spots, not forgetting to enjoy untouched flora an..d fauna and to spot wild animals. Camping was comfortable, a large variety of fresh food was proposed for breakfast/launch/dinner, sleeping bags kept warm even on relatively cold nights, driving was not exhausting due to many stops and the transport was suited well for a group of 12.Read full review
This was our first camping trip and we couldn’t have chosen a better company, itinerary or guide. Joseph took excellent care of us. The pace was ideal for my mom, girls (9 and 10), and I. We saw the best of each location, enjoyed great me..als, and we have the awesome pics to prove it. Joseph went out of his way to make a campfire, and taught the girls the perfect way to make s’mores. He kept us entertained and educated, and shared a wealth of knowledge throughout the trip. The hoodoos at Bryce, topography of Zion, everything about Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley are a must-see, and the Grand Canyon helicopter tour ride was thrilling and beautiful! Joseph is the best! I’d definitely recommend this tour!Read full review
My girlfriend and I came back from a wonderful trip to the American Southwest with Chris Patrick ("Chrispy Patty") as our guide. The national parks are even more beautiful in real life than in photos. Moreso than the parks, for this review,.. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the planning and forethought that Chris put in to make the trip as memorable as possible. His extensive experience as a guide was evident as he had planned out every aspect of the trip, every problem was anticipated, and every scenario or obstacle had multiple back-up options. He made every effort to meet our varied needs (e.g. one member wanted oat milk for her coffee; he fit in a beautiful hike to a creek where we could all swim; he perfectly timed a sunset at dead horse canyon before the rush and to maximize the glow; and many many more). In addition, he was a funny and genuinely *good* guy and really brought the group together so that we were all friends right from the start. I have already recommended this trip to family, friends, and even strangers!Read full review
The best part of the tour for me was the Grand Canyon helicopter tour. We weren't even planning to go on it, but after our tour guide Joseph, explained how wonderful it is, my daughter changed her mind and booked the tour for us. (THANK YOU.. JOSEPH!). She, my granddaughters and I had such a wonderful time. I was afraid at first, because it was my first time in a helicopter, but the view! So spectacular! Monument Valley, Zion and Bryce were great as well. Our tour guide, Joseph made sure we had a good time every step of the way, and prepared everything for us. He guided us through our first sandstorm, and even took us to get the most delicious milkshakes on Route 66, on the way back to Las Vegas. Jill, another guide we met, who was leading another tour, was great as well. This was such a beautiful experience. I was very hesitant when I heard that we were camping and hiking for our vacation, but this tour far exceeded my expectations.Read full review
