It was an incredible 3-day Wild West trip! Our guide Joel was amazing! As it’s now still winter season, there were only two tourists (including me). He took us a couple of spots which were not listed in the itinerary. Absolutely great tri..p. He was also super knowledgeable, told us all those interesting history of all.Read full review
So we went to this tour on 1/2/2022. In the website it was stated that sandwich, snacks and water included in the payment. Only to find out sandwich and snacks were not included. The driver/ tour guide gave us bottled water. It was good tha..t he told us during the gas stop to buy food cause it was not included. Also the time going to the horseshoe bend was kinda limited. We felt rushed. Only 40 minutes to spend there. The walking or hiking took almost 30 minutes already(back and forth). Looking for a good spot to take pictures was kinda hard as there were alot people. The antelope canyon was good. The price for the tour was not worth it!!!Read full review
A whirlwind tour of the most impressive highlights in the 'Grand Circle'. Joel was a great tour guide who did everything to let us focus on enjoying the stunning natural beauty. It hit everything I was after and gave me ideas to come back a..nd do some more sightseeing. I was glad that there was time for personal hiking in Grand Canyon and Zion, but be warned that you may not get to the hikes you want to do in Zion depending on all the other traffic and road closures.Read full review
I had such a wonderful time with every day somehow even better than the last in awesome wonder. All hikes are doable and you are given ample time in each place to explore it at a leisurely pace. I originally signed up for camping and did on..e night of it but if it's too cold to be comfortable and there are other tour mates staying at hotels, you can opt to pay for your room (or split with another person) if there is vacancy. Our tour guide Joe was wonderful, a safe driver, on time and does a really good job at making you excited for what you are about to see with great recommendations. He's very easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and accommodating. You're the man, Joe. I highly recommend doing the Hummer tour at Moab (I promise it's worth it) and wake up for sunrise at the Grand Canyon if it's an option, it's unreal and 100% worth it. This tour is the highlight of my year and there was no better way to explore my last 3 of the 50 States. I had a wonderful group, a great tour guide, and an excellent time. Every single park and destination was absolutely gorgeous and I came home refreshed, humbled, grateful and uplifted. Dramatic review but I promise it's objective accurate. Just do it.Read full review

The tour guide, Marie was excellent, very thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I just wished the tour would spend 2 days at Zion and the Grand Canyon in order to do justice to the parks.

This 3-days trip gives us a wonderful time and fantastic memories. It is unbelievable that we visited, saw, and experienced so many places in this 3 days. These parks and Monuments are truly breathtaking. Besides well organized by Bindlesti..ff, one of the reasons that we have a wonderful time is Chris, our super cool tour guide. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. He told and pointed all interesting places on the way to the parks. The balcony of our room in the hotel near the Monument Valley is faced to the Monuments and it seems this is a real "The View" hotel. This trip truly exceeded our expectationsRead full review
We have returned from our private (2 couple), 11 day guided trip to the Utah National Parks with extension to Death Valley and Yosemite, and can’t say enough superlatives about how beautifully everything went. We were blessed with beautif..ul weather and no adverse effects of the California wildfires. Our upgraded accommodations were all perfect and well curated. Each of the individual parks and monuments had their own grandeur and majesty. Our tour guide, Chelsea Nielsen, could not have been better. She was a delight from first to last. She was knowledgeable, had a special interest in botany and fauna, remained cheerful and upbeat despite the long days spent in the company of ‘seniors’ and was a careful and observant driver to boot. She constantly gave us good guidance as to treks that were interesting and appropriately strenuous, provided snacks and refreshments whenever needed, and, most importantly, remained exceedingly flexible when we requested minor itinerary alterations. This truly felt like a custom trip. We received tremendous “ bang for our buck”. Your trip was more than fairly priced- I know we saw more, had better guidance, and most definitely enjoyed ourselves more than if we had traveled with some better known and much more expensive competitors. I cannot give Bindlestiff enough in rating stars , from the pre-trip planning through to the last day of travel, everything was perfect. Thanks again!!Read full review
We got to see so much in a short time and that's thanks to Joe who kept us on schedule and fit in as much as he could for us. The trip was amazing and very well planned.
I took the 7-day camping tour to Utah national parks and Grand Canyon with Chris as my tour guide. It was my first time camping, Chris was very helpful at walking me through the process of setting up and disassembling the tent. By the end, ..I was able to do that by myself from the start to finish. It was a great camping experience. As for the tour we got to visit many beautiful sites. There are hiking options available for all levels. I would like to thank Chris for being such an excellent guide for making this trip as smooth as possible and attending to everyone's needs. I highly recommend this tour.Read full review
Our family took this tour in Sept 2021 and loved every minute of it. We got to tick everything from our wish list, so many national parks and other sights! There was plenty of time for walks in the parks and a good variety of optional activ..ities based on individual interests. Bindlestiff staff were excellent pre tour and gave us helpful tips and packing suggestions, the staff was always extremely prompt and courteous. Our guide Jon was outstanding. His in depth knowledge of the areas we visited and enthusiasm was incredible. He went above and beyond for the group at every opportunity. Thank you- we are already planning our next adventure with you!Read full review
I had such and amazing experience on the 7 day Southwest trip! We saw so many breathtaking sights and every activity planned was curated to be how you wanted to experience it! Our tour guild, Chris, was very knowledgeable in offering sugges..tions for those who wanted challenging hikes to those who wanted to relax with being on vacation and everyone in between. I chose the camping option and really enjoyed meeting and interacting with everyone over campfires and s’mores I will definitely be back for another tour with the company!Read full review
Great Trip!! I am just trying to figure out how to live in regular time after Wyoming/Montana time. Chris was a wonderful guide, fun, understanding, kind and knowledgeable. I believe we were really lucky to have him. I could only imagine wh..en he dropped the last of us off that he sighed a sigh of relief. We were lively!! He was great about getting our collective input and really good about asking if any of us needed restroom breaks! We saw a lot of animals in the wild, in Yellowstone, bears, including a grizzly, moose, elk, bison, antelopes and more. No shy wolves, but we did get to see them at the sanctuary. The Tetons were breathtaking. The camping was great and we all got to participate in the meals which was a lot of fun. The age range probably with a guess was mid 70’s to 20. I am a mid 50’s woman and I thought I would be different. I can assure you I was not, but everyone connected, even with age and life experience differences. I felt very safe travelling alone with this group…..no need for the mace that I bought in the desert….that is another story. I wasn’t sure when I booked the trip through a tour search engine if any of it was real……but LOL…….it was. I communicated with operator a number of times and I found them to be great, real people sitting in real office in Vegas. The best of luck with your decision.Read full review

Chris P, our guide, was great! He was a lot of fun, organized, considerate, experienced and flexible to the group's needs and wishes. His intuition to spot wild animals was on point! We saw bears, bison, bald eagles, moose, etc. Bring binoc..ulars. The sites we visited were all BREATH-taking! Great selection of places in four days. Hiking was manageable. Hiking boots with ankle support recommended. Sleeping in a tent, cooking dinner at camp sites, and preparing sandwich/fruits/salad for lunch at local parks were memorable! Bring layers of clothes. It can get very cold at night and early morning. The BEST part of the trip was that my son and I had so much laughs with people who were strangers on Day one and became friends on Day four. This was my second trip with this operator. Highly recommended!!Read full review
