This is the best tour for the price:
* Seven states in 7 days, enjoyed a lot but not rushing, had enough time to enjoy sightseeing, took 3000+ beautiful pictures.
* TIM (the tour guide) is a gentleman, polite, and handsome too. TIM took t..ime to narrate the itinerary (clearly in English and Chinese) ahead of time so we enjoyed and learned a lot.
* Tim was so caring, he planned ahead for almost everything, especially for the meals on the trip, stopped at good places for reasonable meals, with variety choices for Asian, American, Italian, all you can eat Asian buffets, Mc Donald, Arby’s, even stopped at supermarkets.
* Andy, the bus driver, was a little quiet but a good driver, we felt safe and comfortable.
* All the 3STAR hotel, motel, inn, and cabin whichever we stayed were safe, comfortable, clean...
So many good things to mention, this trip is a must. My wife wants to have another trip right away with Tours4Fun.
Thanks TIM, Andy and Tours4Fun

I went on the 7-Day Bus Tour to Mt. Rushmore & Yellowstone. I can see so many places in 7 days. The most interesting place was Yellowstone National Park, the Old Failfull, the Geysers, the Mouth Rushmore. I wish the tour in the park was lo..nger and I could spend a night in the hotel inside the park. But the tour spend a night at the hotel outside the gate. The bus riding hours are very long. I recomment to take some games and books with you. The hotel in Denver, QV in sport center was bad. The bed sheets, blankets, and covers were dirty. Luckily I brought a light blanket with me. Other hotels were good. We went on the tour in mid May so the weather was very comfortable not too cold not too hot. Recommend to wear layer so you can take off if it's hot specially in Las Vegas. Due to the bear danger I could not go to the trail in Grand Teton. I only took the picture from outside. The tour guide speak a lot of Chinese language but did not translate much in English and I do not know Chinese language. I am Asian and people assume I am Chinese. So I see others were laughing and I do not know what they are laughing about. Recommend the tour guide translate all the conversation to English so the non Chineese speakers can enjoy the tour.Read full review
For Memorial Day weekend, me and my friends were looking for something fun and adventurous to do. Since Bindlestiff's 3 Day National Parks Tour only starts on Mondays, I sent them an e-mail asking if there would be a possibility to do a pri..vate tour a few days earlier. Rachel, my contact person at Bindlestiff who also turned out to be our tour guide, helped me organize everything and was so patient and helpful with the planning, I cannot stress enough.
The tour itself was completely packed with attractions, we saw Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend/Lake Powell within only two days! Rachel made it possible for us to enjoy each stop to its fullest, and we had a great time. We chose to camp for the night and, even though we had no experience camping and slightly dreaded spending a night outside, my friends and I sincerely loved our stay. The camping equipment that Bindlestiff had provided for us were rather new, and the camping ground had an amazing view over the landscape and all of its amenities were very clean. At night, we made a little campfire and ate some s'mores in the light of the full moon.
I seriously recommend planning a trip with Bindlestiff Tours. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. We learned a lot about the geographical circumstances under which these canyons were created and she also knew a lot of fun facts, which I personally love to know :)
If you should need to alter the itinerary, just ask them! They are very accommodating will try hard to still make the trip happen! Our tour was one of my highlights of my stay in the US and I would definitely use Bindlestiff again if I were to come back!

The tour guide, Jason was good in terms of explaining the sites of interest as well as the added tour to Google, Microsoft and Apple.
However, the city tour at SF, which cost $25 is not worth it. Can give it a go
Without the power pass I would have spent $173.30 on all the attractions I enjoyed on the strip and downtown. Some of the attractions I thought the admission price was to high but, with the power pass no problem
I visited the West side of US from Italy and had very few days available. I was so lucky to find Bindlestiff Tours. In 3 days, departing from Las Vegas I visited Zion Park, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell, Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. I had ..the chance to hike in Zion Park, Bryce canyon at sunrise, and also had a helicopter tour over the grand Canyon. Rachel our tour guide was so nice that she even accommodated special requests and took us to extra spots like Antelope Canyon and Horsehoe Bend. AMAZING! The best thing about this tour is that it small groups-we had 9 and the tour was perfect we all go on really well and the evenings around the campfire were so much fun. The campground were super modern, hot showers, swimming pools and WIFI! We had a BBQ one night and a steak dinner the next-everyone chipped in to help and it was a great fun evening. The tents are top of the line REI tents and really comfy-they even provide air mattresses! Rachel also really knew her history-clearly an expert on the area which also meant we got to go off the beaten path....SERIOUSLY GREAT TOUR! I cant recommend this tour strongly enough.Read full review
Good tour guide (good english), Well organized tour (except for Stanford university tour, which was not covered well due to failing light).
I feel the optional indepth city tour of san francisco should be merged with regular tour (and i..nclude the optional fee of $25 to tour fee, it is inexpensive and worth). This would help to rearrange timings and good coverage of stanford university in day time.
The food on final day (big buffet) was good, it is a steal @ $11.

This tour is a really high quality tour-small group touring at its best. It does not even compare to the big coach tours that you will mostly find on this site.
Our guide was outstanding, hotels high quality and the itinerary incredible...
The food is included in this tour making it amazing value for money.
Highly recommended

We joined the 7 day tour to Mt. Rushmore and Yellow Stone Sep.29- Oct.5. The tour was magnificent/spectacular/amazing. The driver was tireless he always had a smile on his face and the tour guide,Zach was a genius. He knew his history and ..geography w/o blinking. But what spoiled the trip was we we`re in the company of very rude no manners women from China. They pushed and shoved just to be the first to get off from the bus, not giving respect to one handicapped passenger in a wheelchair. My sister was hit in the head by one of them, with the woman`s backpack but no apology rendered. We suggest that the tour should give lessons or briefings on good manners and right conduct. Including covering your mouth when your coughing.Read full review
This was an amazing tour that covered more than 3000 miles and seven states in seven days. The tour guide Marc and driver Danny were great. Marc has provided lot of in depth and interesting information at every location. Hotel accommodati..on, breakfast, and lunch arrangements were excellent. This tour provided more value for the money.Read full review

The tour was really good as they covered most of the high sight seeing places.Our Pilot Sunday and tour guide Larry was added credit for the tour.He was able to explain everything with historical background which really impressed .
The t..our pack was scheduled in a such a way that u will be able to see all listed places with slightly hectic schedule due to distance and traffic.
The optional tour are all worth paying for it except the SFO in depth tour which does not make me satisfied for paying .
Over all the tour was all good.Read full review
This tour was really great-we got to see so many national parks with a great fun guide. The camping was my favourite part!- being out in nature looking a the stars was amazing and the campfires in the evenings were really fun.
It was a bit.. more money than i wanted to pay but i realized once on the tour that it a very high quality tour-small groups only 13 maximum means its a much better tour than these large coach tours as you get more attention and dont have to spend so much time waiting around for people!
Our tour guide was really really fun and our group was great-i made great friends and was really sad when this tour was over.
Very professional company-a great tour with great guides.
Highly recommended.

A well organised tour which took us to all the sights I hoped to see (and more!). Our guide was very friendly and knew the places well; she even put up our tent for us (just as well as I had never camped before). If you are looking for a to..ur which takes you to the National Parks, I would thoroughly recommend this trip.
