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
Small group cosy tour that covers the must-see national parks.
Did the winter tour of the 3-day national parks- extremely satisfied with the tour and would highly recommend it! Plenty of bathroom stops, food recommendations and hotel acc..ommodations arranged were great! My fav is Zion National Park where we got around 3-4 hours of free time to go on the hiking trails that we like. Also loved the Grand Canyon south rim scenic walk.
Exploring Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon with the native guide was inspiring. My tour leader Joel was very caring to everyone and did a great job with his commentary and organisation! All in all, a tour that covers the must-see national parks in a short span of time :)Read full review
I booked the 3 days trip and it has been a pleasant surprise.
Efficient, responsive and professional. A particular kudos to its guide Indy which went the extra mile to make this experience an unforgettable one! I look forward to my next ..trip with Bindlestiff and with Indy!
One piece of advice: Antelope Canyon is an optional tour. Do not miss it! It is worth every dollar.
This canyon is one of the most amazing things I have seen in all my travels. A must do!Read full review

Our tour Leader Ashley was very organised, efficient with the tour , always ready to answer to any of our queries/conce..rns.
Would highly recommend to take this three day southwest national park tour with Bindlestiff, if get a chance.Read full review
It was an incredible 3-day Wild West trip! Our guide Joel was amazing! As it’s now still winter season, there were only two tourists (including me). He took us a couple of spots which were not listed in the itinerary. Absolutely great tri..p. He was also super knowledgeable, told us all those interesting history of all.Read full review
A whirlwind tour of the most impressive highlights in the 'Grand Circle'. Joel was a great tour guide who did everything to let us focus on enjoying the stunning natural beauty. It hit everything I was after and gave me ideas to come back a..nd do some more sightseeing. I was glad that there was time for personal hiking in Grand Canyon and Zion, but be warned that you may not get to the hikes you want to do in Zion depending on all the other traffic and road closures.Read full review
I had such a wonderful time with every day somehow even better than the last in awesome wonder. All hikes are doable and you are given ample time in each place to explore it at a leisurely pace. I originally signed up for camping and did on..e night of it but if it's too cold to be comfortable and there are other tour mates staying at hotels, you can opt to pay for your room (or split with another person) if there is vacancy. Our tour guide Joe was wonderful, a safe driver, on time and does a really good job at making you excited for what you are about to see with great recommendations. He's very easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and accommodating. You're the man, Joe. I highly recommend doing the Hummer tour at Moab (I promise it's worth it) and wake up for sunrise at the Grand Canyon if it's an option, it's unreal and 100% worth it. This tour is the highlight of my year and there was no better way to explore my last 3 of the 50 States. I had a wonderful group, a great tour guide, and an excellent time. Every single park and destination was absolutely gorgeous and I came home refreshed, humbled, grateful and uplifted. Dramatic review but I promise it's objective accurate. Just do it.Read full review

The tour guide, Marie was excellent, very thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I just wished the tour would spend 2 days at Zion and the Grand Canyon in order to do justice to the parks.

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
