We did this tour recently - it was excellent in all respects. The tour guide was very competent and professional, the fifteen seater coach comfortable, accommodation more than adequate and the itinerary well paced.
We are in love with Bindlestiff Tours!! Our experience was truly the trip of our lifetime, so far. We are SOOOO hoping to explore Alaska with Bindlestiff. Finances will determine our next trip. Mike Brown was our guide during the fast-paced.. 3 day National Parks Tour, and he was more than great. His encyclopedic knowledge is impressive. I could have sworn he had notes he was referring to during his narration as he drove, but he had none. Mike's interest, study and enthusiasm about the history, geology and every other aspect of our tour was obvious and infectious. We could not have encountered a better guide. Aside from his excellent driving and narration, Mike was very professional, amiable and organized. Mike is also an excellent story-teller with a relaxed attitude and a reassuring voice. Without coming off as a "drill instructor", Mike made it clear we needed to be aware of time constraints in order to optimize our tour. Because we had cooperative tour mates, we were able to enjoy some extra/surprise stops!!! Thank you to Mike and all our tour buddies!! As for us campers, I was happy with our meals. The first night's BBQ was great and the second night of Indian Tacos prepared by Sheila was awesome!! Mike arranged and presented all of our meals in a very organized and appealing manner (though rustic - but I'm all about rustic). The ingredients were all fresh and appetizing. I especially appreciated the abundance of spring water in the jug so we could refill our bottles!! We woke up at 5am for sunrise in Monument Valley!!! That sunrise was astounding, and a once-in-a-lifetime if you don't live there. Advise: Wear excellent footwear and head gear, seriously! Forget fashion. Heed the sun/temp predictions. On this particular fast-paced tour, bring casual camera equipment-you won't have time for formal images & consider protecting your camera from talcum dust. I truly enjoyed spending our tour with the young couple from Belgium and all the folks from Australia and the family from Pennsylvania. We will, and are recommending Bindlestiff Tours to everyone we know!!! Thank you, Mike and all the folks at Bindlestiff!!!Read full review
Joel was our guide, from the moment we met, he took care of all of our needs, Lots of hiking in our national parks with good walking shoes. Just when you think you seen everything another great view is presented. We loved camping in Monumen..t Valley, the sky at night is covered with stars. Be prepared to take lots of pictures and meet great people as you spend 3 days enjoying the experience.Read full review
With limited time on our hands we chose the three day tour, pleased that we could take all our luggage as we were travelling from Australia which was in our rooms each night. Joel our guide was knowledgeable about the area and the Navaho pe..ople, his great sense of humour complemented ours. Will make Bindlestiff Tours our first choice when considering another tour in their neck of the woods.Read full review
An absolutely wonderfully organized trip to the most beautiful regions of this part of the world. Our driver and guide Mike will take care of everything and everyone. Our family of four (including 2 children - 6 and 8 years) had a wonderful.. experience. We would never have seen so much in such a short time. In 3 days - 5 Natl Parks in 3 States !!! Thank you so much. Highly recommended!Read full review
We were a group of 13, well traveled adults,in our 60’s, who wanted a tour of the Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Zion before returning to Las Vegas. We only had 3 days to do it and with Rachel’s help it was an outstanding success. I can’t s..ay enough about how helpful Rachel was in determining the timing, order and deciding where to stay on the 2 nights we were on the trip. Rachel was delightful, friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and extremely considerate. She was always aware of our physical comfort and needs. We had some physical restrictions so options for hikes, and other activities were always offered. Ours was a custom, private tour. Rachel picked us up at the Las Vegas airport with a van and trailer for our luggage and took us right to the home we were renting on our return. Absolutely outstanding trip, I highly recommend Rachel and her company. (The other 12 in our group concur on that too!)Read full review
I am interested in visiting the national park and visiting the magnificent scenery. I participated in this tour company camp for the first time in 4 years this time. The difference between here and another tour company is politeness.Before ..joining the tour, you can respond carefully to detailed questions. If you have anxiety, it is a good idea to ask questions in advance. This time, we had a wonderful camp with people from many countries. Meals, breaks, timing to put up a tent. The trip of the trip is planned finely so that we can do our best and is perfect. The sandwiches you make yourself are exceptional. A pleasant dinner surrounding a campfire will be a lifetime treasure. If you step out of the tent, you will be amazed at the spectacular view in front of you. Camping grounds can be comfortable as free WiFi and shower are in place. It will be more satisfying than participating by individuals. A wonderful guide guide will make the trip more brilliant. A wonderful person gathers in a wonderful environment. The campers from all over the world have the same spirit and are very kind and kind. It seems that the atmosphere of this tour is greatly affecting this. To the Japanese people I think that there are many people who are not good at English, but if there is a desire to participate even a little, I recommend you to take action. The reception staff and guides as well as the travel companion will be gently to you. Let's share the excitement. And I hope that we can resume somewhere again. Thank you veeeeeeeery much!!!Read full review
I have booked the first 3-day tour with camping in April and can highly recommend this tour! It was an amazing experience! My group had the pleasure of having an additional training tour guide with them. On the rides in the canyons one lear..ns a lot about the history and facts of the individual areas with one driver straight through, which was very interesting. You should be aware that the tour is very packed with great places, but that also means that everything is very well planned. In the evening, all participants (without hotel guests) meet at the campsite and set up the tents under instruction, which is perfectly organized. In the evenings we have a great dinner together with a campfire. The next morning it means then break off tents, breakfasts and on to the next destination ... I'm 29 years old and was the only single traveler and not native English speaker on my bus. Nevertheless, I found a connection very quickly. The tour guides were always in a good mood, funny and very helpful. The age of the participants was very different, which was great, because everyone took care of everyone. Just a brilliant group, we had a great time! I can highly recommend the National Parks Tour 3 Days. You can feel that the tour guides enthusiasm! Thanks a lot to Jennie, Evan and Jon.Read full review
