Traveling alone with my 17 year old daughter, I chose to do the Canyons on a guided tour and it was a great choice! Our guide, Evan, was very friendly, funny and explained many things during the minibus trips: history, geology, fauna and fl..ora, anecdotes ... He seems to know everything about everything! Really incredible landscapes. The 50-minute helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon is certainly expensive, but it's definitely worth it !!! Tip for day 1: save yourself (walking level) in Zion (which is the only "normal" Canyon, for more walking in the truly breathtaking Bryce (down the Canyon ... then back up!). the "free" formula once we are released into the Canyons: everyone chooses the circuit they want, walking a little, a lot or not at all! The local Navajo guides to Antelope (optional) and Monument Valley were great too, we had the option of sleeping in lodges and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodations. Fantastic tour thank you!Read full review
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip and feel it was worth every cent. It was a lot of driving, but our tour guide/driver Alex made sure to stop in the middle so that we would stretch our legs, the van was quite comfortable as well. He was very f..riendly and knowledgeable about everything we were viewing on the trip. Constantly telling us facts about what lay before us. We had around 3 hour of stop on each site where Alex was giving us the hike map for that national park and also suggest some hikes which we could choose with our own pace. In some sites, I really liked to stay more than 3 hours but to be honest our duration of excursion was reasonable as well. The food offered was healthy and catered for vegetarians and vegans. We were camping and enjoyed sunset and sunrise in Monument valley. All camping equipment were provided by the tour and its was very convenient, I was really glad to choose camping. The whole trip was awesome; the scenery was spectacular but Antelope Canyon is truly the highlight of my trip.Read full review
My friend and I booked this trip last minute as our original trip with a different operator was cancelled... It must have been fate :-) the whole trip was awesome. Chris our guide / driver and entertainer was so much fun and really friendly... The parks were amazing and campsites perfect especially at monument. I am a regular hiker so could go off on my own for a faster walk if I wanted to while some of our group took it easier and enjoyed the stunning views at their own pace.. If your thinking about this trip stop thinking and book.Read full review
highly recommend this tour company and their extremely professional, fun and enthusiastic guides. I took an amazing 3 day trip with Chris to Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley and the Grand Canon. We had such fun and laughs (and there are some s..urprises along the way!). Accommodation in the hotels was great and comfortable, lunches provided were also great. The trip overall was first class, much more than I expected. Thanks Chris! I also took the day trip to Death Valley with Marie and again was rewarded with the same enthusiasm, professionalism and a great day out. Thanks guys for making this such a memorable trip within a trip for usRead full review

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and feel it was worth every cent. Be warned there is a lot of driving, but coming from Australia, we are used to this and don't mind. The almost new van was quite comfortable. All seats had safety belts.
The ..guide Bradley was so knowledgeable about everything we were viewing on the trip. Constantly telling us facts about what lay before us. The food offered was healthy and catered for vegetarians and vegans.
We did not camp and took the lodging option. This was fine. We are normally campers in Australia.
The Grand Canyon is on the list for the last day of the tour and if you get the chance to take the helicopter flight (50 minute option) you will not be disappointed. Certainly a highlight of our whole trip to the US.
The other destinations were also spectacular and I think Monument Valley would almost be up there with the Grand Canyon. Such an amazing country.

100% The most wonderful part of my 3 week USA hol!!!

My sister and I completed the lodging version of the 3 Day National Parks tour on 1 June 2019. It was WONDERFUL. I can honestly say it was the 'best' part of my 3 week holiday in USA, and there were MANY highlights throughout my entire hol... The tour itself covered the canyons beautifully - just enough time in each to 'feel' how special they are. They were all so different and beautiful in their own right - would hate to have missed out on one. The tour was planned and executed extremely well by them. The bus was very clean and comfortable (We were lucky to have just 8 participants, so plenty of room). Accommodation (motel style) was excellent, met our needs perfectly. But the BEST part of our trip was our guide, Chris P. He worked so hard to ensure everything went smoothly, and went above and beyond by showing us a couple of extra places not in the curriculum. Chris' relaxed, friendly, humorous, and approachable demeanour is superseded only by his attention to detail to ensure we all had a wonderful time. And that we did, Chris!!! Thank you SOO much :))Read full review
Our tour guide Evan thought of everything. He was kind, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. He was organized and prepared which was great considering we were traveling with a 7 and 8 year old. It felt like we were travel..ing with a true friend. We would definitely recommend the tour and we would do it again.Read full review
Evan was a fantastic tour guide for our group of 5 which included a 6 and 8 year old on our 3 day tour of the national parks. Evan is a great driver (over 1,000 miles in 3 days), fabulous story teller, patient, kind and totally organized. H..ighly recommend this tour company and tour guide if you want to enjoy the beautiful parks and let them handle the details.Read full review
I had a very good time in this tour.
The members were pretty nice, friendly and kind.
Actually, I was little bit nervous before the tour. Cz, I took part in it alone. But I really enjoyed!!
HIGHLY recommend this 3 day tour where you get to see the best of what the area has to offer. Time spent at each location was perfect amount of time. I chose “lodging” option. Accommodation was great... rooms with more to offer than upm..arket accommodation I had in NYC! Suits people with different fitness levels - short hiking options from moderate through to easy, flat walking choices. Small group in comfortable minibus. Our guide
Chris P did a FANTASTIC job in making everyone feel included. He got a read on the mix of personalities in our group really quickly and went out of his way to provide us with a trip to remember. His experience and knowledge as a tour guide is very clear, but it was his sense of fun and humour that made it so memorable.

We had a great time during these three days, the tour is very well organized. The guide of a great kindness made us discovered very beautiful landscapes. The circuit allows to discover several parks in 3 days. At each stage we had the choic..e between several hikes. The camping option allows you to immerse yourself even more. The only negative point will be the quality of the food. (the first night we are sold a barbecue but it is not at all the case)Read full review

The tours was a lot of fun. Short, compact tour of the Canyon highlights. Chris our tour guide went the extra mile to make the trip fun, historic, adventurous with plenty of history and highlights related to the areas. Minivan had plenty of.. room and was easy to get in and out of the bus for a person of average height.
I also sent a recommendation through to flight centre in Vancouver city centre that took care of my travel plans for anyone looking for short tours that are available. Lodgings for accommodation was very comfortable and spacious.
Note to have warm clothes for higher altitudes like Bryce canyon as it can still snow in early summer conditions

In my opinion, one cannot afford to NOT do this. The value is incredible and the tour is very well run by very experienced people. You will see a lot in three days and travel about 1200 miles. The only "downside" to the tour is the limited ..time at each destination, but the tradeoff is that you get to see more wonderful places because of how well manages the time so well.
The camping is as easy as camping gets. I like back country camping myself, but my wife is not really a camper. She had a great time. So did another couple in our group who had never been camping.
You will miss some of the best experiences of the trip if you choose the hotel option. If you just cannot camp for any reason, it is still a great tour! Thank you!
