Booked the 7 day South West National Parks Camping Tour and it's the best I have ever done. Sleeping under canvas in these amazing landscapes by night and hiking through them by day was an unforgettable experience, and Bradley our tour guid..e was super organised, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the geology and history of the places we visited, and was an amazing cook too - so much healthy, nutritious food! Wishing I could do the whole thing all over again - I never expected the desert to be so beautiful. Thank you for such an amazing experience!Read full review
I did the 7 days Southwest Highlights trip (camping) back in early October 2019 and had the best time! I normally would just rate a company without leaving additional comments, but with them I almost feel urged to do so as the level of pers..onal attention, professionalism & overall fun during the tour really made the difference for me. I think it’s safe to say they are among the best, if not the best, excursion experiences I’ve ever had! Would definitely recommend them and will surely look them up again for a next trip to the US myself! Our guide, Marie, was all you’d expect in a tour guide, but unfortunately rarely get; enthusiastic, passionate about all the sights we’ve seen, she gave plenty of personal attention, she was part of the team and not ‘only’ a tour guide, she was respectful & told us lots of interesting stories & bits on all sights and things along the way. Whenever I had a question, she had an answer. Our tour being the last one before winter season, a cold front headed towards the camping sites in the last 2 days of our tour, and Marie felt more than responsible to upgrade us to hotel rooms & constantly checked on us and our needs. She arranged it and kept us constantly up to date on all developments, this is where she really made the difference for me. Camping grounds & services are of good level, most of them have complimentary Wi-Fi, plenty of charging points & good restroom facilities. The vehicle in which we made this trip was comfortable, has good air conditioning, several charging points for electronic devices, so we’d always arrive full of energy at the next destination. Based on each destination, a specific playlist was played on the radio to completely indulge you into the moment of seeing and experiencing a destination for the first time. To me, this showed eye for detail & helped in creating the best memories possible of all these places. The itinerary itself is simply great. A lot of things are covered in one week & leaves time for some relaxation, mostly in the evenings, as well. Multiple options for the day -varying on e.g. intensity of a hike, either hiking or visiting a town- are given as option to you upfront, so you can just go ahead and pick whichever you like most or plan a ‘day off’ from hiking if you’re in need of some rest. For me, my only (really minor) issue with the itinerary was that I really liked the delicious picnic style diner at Dead Horse Viewpoint, but it sort of had an overlap with Canyonlands the next day in terms of views on the scenery. Just Dead Horse Viewpoint would’ve been enough for me, but this is personal, and the next guy might completely disagree with me here. The rest of the itinerary is perfectly planned, and my best memories remain the carefully planned sunset moments – Every night, we were exactly at the right place when the sun was about to set. Great photo opportunities as well! Biggest highlights for me were Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park & Monument Valley. Especially the hike in Bryce Canyon is one of a kind! Thanks, ToursFun, for this wonderful experience. I just feel my Southwest USA experience, a bucket list trip for almost 30 years, would not have been the same when booked through another tour provider, and that’s exactly the feeling I hope to conclude any tour with.Read full review
We are proud Americans yet spend most of our adventures where we stretch the imagination of climbing mountains and wilderness trails to places like the Black Forrest, Komodo island and other far and away places. Five star hotels and ships e..ven submarines!! But we came across this tour and gave it a try and can say that we have now experienced the best!! We loved seeing these parks for the first time! Its like we boarded new heights of adventure engaging a greater enthusiasm within America! We are certain that we will certainly withstand the challenges that seem to be pushing apart the freedoms that gave life to our country! Our guide Alex was extraordinary! We will never be able to thank him enough for the many ways he inspired us, the oldest of the travelers and only Americans in the group, we reached new horizons of travel-success! We will remain energized for years to come! Thanks to all of youRead full review
Had a wonderful time! Toured Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley, Arches, Canyonlands, Antelope Canyon, Deadhorse, Horseshoe Bend, and the Grand Canyon. Evan (our tour leader) was outstanding. He was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable... He provided us with a lot of great information about each park including the geology, the history, the flora and fauna, etc. Evan worked really hard to make sure each of us was safe, happy, and having a great time. He succeeded. This was one of the best vacations we ever had and this was due in large part to Evan.Read full review

Where and how to start my review?? hmmm, May be the words, great, fantastic, worth it, lovely, breathtaking and joyful are enough or maybe not. Anyways, Yes, sure I recommend the tour to everyone, we experienced unplanned excellent true fou..r seasons in 7 days, we experienced the beauty of nature, people and gained lots of knowledge. I recommend, traveling May/End of June, the weather is lovely and not hot (I don't like very hot weather but sure it’s up to you to travel any time you wish ). Food was fine, covered three meals, was enough for all, the trip/Van was comfortable. Joel (I hope I spelled your name right) was so informative, full of history and poems, and sure helpful- Thank you Joel. our group was lovely – nice meeting you guys. the tents were big and clean, camps were in great locations, shower facilities very good, just bring your own toiletry bag and towels of course, slippers and walking shows, or good shoes for hiking, plenty of sun block if you are going in summer and don’t worry about your coffee, tea or snacks- you will have plenty of stops while moving from locations to the another, taste all kinds of coffee and tea flavors. I think I shall stop here, enjoy your TripRead full review
I signed up my visiting parents to the 7-day National Park tour and they truly enjoyed it. They spoke very little English but the guide was really patient with them. The itinerary design was perfect. My parents didn’t feel like they were ..rushed or having wasted time anywhere, unlike some other guided tours that they joined before. Thank you for the wonderful experience!Read full review

"I was looking for doing camping in the national parks, and this seemed the best option traveling alone, and it was. Probably one of the best experiences in my life. First of all I have to say thank to Bradley, the best guide ever, really, ..he is funny, he knows a lot of stuff, he was organised in his way (I liked it), ect...Then I had the honour to spend a week with many lovely people from all around the world, and some of us are are still in contact.Talking about the tour, is really well made. The planning of this one is perfect, it includes all theparks in this area, and we spent quality time in all of them. The campsites were all really beautiful, my favorite was the night in Monument Valley, what a view."Read full review

100% The 7 day Tours Grand Canyon Tour from Las Vegas was
the BEST!

I just returned from the tour of the Canyons led by Alex. He was awesome, gave tremendous
amounts of information on geology, history, wildlife, and anecdotes of all that we were seeing,
and took good care of us. We had generous time to hike.. each day, with options for long or short
hikes, depending on each person's proclivities, plus an amazing hummer ride in Moab, Navajo
jeep tour of Monument Valley, stupendous helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, stunning tour
of Antelope Canyon. We were awed every day, and made new friends with our fellow travelers
from around the world. Great small group tour for singles and couples alike. I highly recommend
this tour.Read full review
Just returned from 7 days camping trip through the National Parks. The pace and the variety of
hiking adventures were perfect and the camping experience better than anticipated. Our guide,
the Real Chris Patrick was extremely accommodating ..and anticipated everyone's needs. He
kept us on pace to maximize our time in each location. He was knowledgeable, fun and
extremely organized. Our group was International which was a bonus and added to our amazing
time. Each park offered a different challenge and the scenery was spectacular. I would highly
recommend this trip to ACTIVE travelers. Thank you for everything!Read full review
The 7-day National Parks Tour is DIFFERENT and WONDERFUL. Instead of a 40
seat cruiser, you find yourself with 13 other travelers in a tight but camaraderie-inducing van.
Trip experiences and life stories are easily shared. Friendships are ..created on the spot. The
itinerary is hectic and many of the hiking trails have steep ascents and descents. So you need
to be in good/very good shape to take full advantage of the various sites. Finally, a big Thank
You to our tour guide/driver Alex Rosema who provided invaluable historic, cultural and
geological info throughout the journey.Read full review
Absolutely fantastic tour cannot recommend highly enough. Our guide Chris Patrick was very
knowledgeable, had great organisation skills and provided good food, he was very flexible in
meeting everyone’s needs. The tour Was small, just 14 ..people with a wide mix of nationalities
and ages which worked well. Thanks for a great weekRead full review
I did the 7 day Southwest and 7 day Yellowstone following. Could never have seen what I did any other

guide, great fun,it was true meaning of a holidayRead full review
