My wife and I crowned our 7-week round the world trip with this most memorable tour.
As Australian, we love camping and great outdoors. Bindlestiff Tours went beyond our expectations.
Our diverse group of 11 came from the US, Germany, ..Switzerland, Korea and Australia and we soon became friends.
I couldn’t thank Joel our friendly guide enough. He is very well organised and thorough in planning ahead. His advance briefing gave us interesting options on how best to enjoy each site within our physical limit and time allowed. He is most knowledgeable in history, geology, geography and legends of the canyon country. I find it very entertaining as he related stories and shared his experience and quoted from a rare book, The Desert. Obviously he loves the awesome ancient landscape and the Navajo people.
In summary - great adventure, best tour guide, balanced and well paced and value for money. Highly recommended.Read full review
We had so much fun! It was very educational. I enjoyed all the parks and even enjoyed the hiking and camping too. I bought a book at the visitor center. Grand Canyon rim trail hike showed samples of different rock formations that are very o..ld. The oldest was 1.7 billion yrs old! Yes billion. Our tour guide was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. He was also funny and approachable. Also enthusiastic. Please don’t forget to tip your guide. Everything was so worth it!!!Read full review
This trip was a great way to experience the beauty of these parks! Our whole family really enjoyed this trip. The visits to the parks were made easy for us, including suggestions about the activities we would have time for at each of our st..ops. We enjoyed meeting the other people in our group and hearing the stories from our guide Evan. We would definitely recommend this company!Read full review
The trip was extremely well run, organised and a very busy itinerary. The tour leader Evan was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. The hikes and camping at monument valley is a once in a lifetime experience!
The Indian lunch is ok, you should try. And don’t forget the helicopter, it is very wonderful. You will be surprised what you see. I highly recommend this tour. We travelled across the Hoover Dam Bridge and saw one of the "Seven Wonders O..f The World", the Grand Canyon. It is an unforgettable journey.Read full review

Grand Canyon is a place must to go. You never forget to visit there. It is so beautiful. It is my first time to Grand Canyon. We took the helicopter in the blue sky. We saw beautiful view. Very different view from the helicopter.
I went to Grand Canyon with my best friends. I like this trip very much. The bus is new and clean, we felt very comfortable. The view in Grand Canyon is great. Our driver picked us up in our hotel, he was so nice, and drove safely. Thank yo..u.Read full review

O pick-up bus nos pediu para ficar dás 5:20 ás 06:30 aguardando em frente ao hotel e chegou apenas 06:45, disse que enviou mensagem avisando, mas não recebi a mensagem até hoje. E ao final cobram U$8 dólares por pessoa para dar ao moto..rista de uma observação em letras minúsculas que estavam no acordo de compra do pacote.Read full review
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
