We chose the 7-day southwest tour that goes through all major national parks and canyons in the USA and we’ve been loving our experience. The tour was nicely organised and allowed us to see a lot of beautiful sights in a short period of t..ime. Our guide Joel was amazing. So knowledgeable on the American Southwest history and an awesome person to chat with. The tents were great and super easy to put up and down, even for novices like us. Would book this tour again in a heartbeat.Read full review

Danny did such a great job with the tour. He was very informative and very kind. I would recommend this to a friend. The schedule was perfect. I didn’t feel rushed at all.
We decided to do the 3 day Zion/Bryce, Monument Valley & Grand Canyon lodging option after the excellent reviews on trip advisor. The accommodation is very comfortable and even allows you to view a beautiful sunrise from your room in Monume..nt Valley. You certainly fit heaps into each day but this allows you to cover lots of national parks which are all unique and all breathtaking. It is well worth to take up the optional Antelope Canyon which is stunning and the helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon to give you an aspect how massive it really is from the air. We enjoyed the company of the other travellers and this small group is ideal. I certainly recommend this tour.Read full review
100% Compact and exciting adventure and fantastically organised

Thank you especially to our guide Joe, who was a brilliantly knowledgeable, helpful, and fun host for this adventure. You will do a LOT during this trip, do not expect it to be restful or relaxed. But if you are looking for adventure and to.. fit the most into your travel time as possible, whilst still avoiding the typical tourist route, this is the place to be.
As a solo traveller, it was an amazing opportunity to make friends and meet people in a beautiful setting. Lifetime memories of this trip for sure!
I think Joe summed it up perfectly in that his day-to-day is everyone else's life highlights

The 7 day Southwest camping trip was fantastic. Our group of fourteen, evenly split between campers and lodgers ranging in age from 20’s to 60’s, was a wonderful, unforgettable adventure. As a first time camper - as were most - being th..e oldest and traveling solo, I wasn’t sure what to expect. What I found was this;
An extraordinarily well planned itinerary to unimaginably spectacular places; a tour guide - Evan - who was tremendously kind, fun, helpful, knowledgeable and gave 110% every day; a great group of people from around the world, who bonded immediately and felt like family after 24 hours; guided hikes, stargazing, a waterfalls swim in an idyllic setting, the awesomeness of nature and fellow travelers who have become friends. I’ll never forget it

Beautiful tour, lovely places, unforgettable landscapes like in movies. Perfect organization lodging accommodations excellent, perhaps one night more in grand canyon would have been good. The tourist guide Brad or Bradley was very good, pre..pared and always available.Read full review
3 incredible days with grandiose landscapes! 3 days full but leave time to enjoy each site and hike. An excellent organization, optimized timing, a first successful camping experience in magical places (The View in Monument Valley to admire.. the sunrise), an Evan guide very friendly, very competent, not stingy with explanations, a small group international (13 people) more enjoyable, freedom on the sites, minivan journeys of 2 hours maximum. I recommend this tour without restriction, with the visit of Antelope Canyon and the 25-minute helicopter ride on the Gd Canyon. An excellent memory! Read full review
100% An amazing tour in the stunning nature of Utah / Arizona

A great tour, really very professionally organized and the best highlights within 3 days - what more could you ask for; the tour guide Evan was great, .... more explanations and comments on the individual places and their nature are hardly ..possible. - Thanks again, Evan - Also the tour group was a great community, you can not choose the fellow travelers, but this time the chemistry was totally right!

100% Best way to see a lot in a little amount of time
By: Anonymous | Tue Aug 20, 2019 at 12.00 AM
They had come highly recommended by a family member, so when I was looking for a way to see the National Parks out in Utah and Arizona, I knew exactly who to book through. They picked us up right in downtown Vegas and provided transpo..rtation, camping gear, and food throughout the entire trip. Not having to plan anything out and being able to just go with the flow of the tour was perfect. Each park was visited for about 2-2 1/2 hours, which was the perfect amount of time for all of the, except Zion. If you're looking to really explore Zion National Park I recommend either going prior or following the trip. It was just enough time to do a quick hike, but not enough time to really see what Zion is famous for (Angel's Landing, Narrows, etc). As mentioned, every other park (Bryce, Antelope, Monument, Grand Canyon) had the perfect amount of time at each. Prior to arrival at each location, the guide reviewed a map with us and hiking routes we could choose from so we could get right to it as soon as we parked. Each stop was impressive and stunningly beautiful, but our favorite was the portion of the trip where we visited Monument Valley. This was not just any visit, we were given a tour by the some Navajo residents as well as camped out directly facing the 3 major formations that are the set to so many movies/western shows. It was absolutely breathtaking to wake up to the sunrise over that panorama. If you're looking to see a lot in a few days, this is the perfect trip. I 10/10 will be using it for other adventures in the future!Read full review

This was a great tour as far as the bus driver and guides. Our Navajo guide , Kyle, was exceptional. He took such great pictures that we will treasure. Out tour guide, Kevin, was very attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. It wou..ld have been nice to have bottled cold water rather than just bottles of water.
The bus ride was terribly hot. We were last to board because we were picked up at Excalibur and and shuttled to the main bus. Only seat left was broken and under the air conditioning so no relief from the air conditioner or no shade on the back window. Also it was confusing whether I needed to print out an eticket. Also it would have been nice to know there was an option of Chinese buffet or subway.
I did appreciate all the confirmations that I received but the email did have the wrong pickup time.Read full review
Beyond our expectations! Traveled 1100 miles, chose lodging rather than camping, and had hiking or just sightseeing options. The hotels were exceptional and the tour guide took very good care of us and made sure we saw it all! The picnic lu..nches were healthy and delicious, and our two evening meals were very good. We even got to have dinner made by a Navaho Indian family at their home in Monument Valley where we watched the sunset. The sun rose just outside our hotel balcony with Monument Valley in the background. We were picked up and dropped off at the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas and enjoyed our two night stay there as well. I would highly recommend this tour company if you don’t want the haste of car rentals, driving, and trying to figure it all out. We also had the option of touring Antelope Canyon (which all 13 of us chose.) and a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon which I highly recommend. All of our fellow travelers were from outside the USA and spoke English and were a delight to get to know during our time on the bus. The Grand Canyon was on our bucket list (we are 69), and I can’t imagine a better way to see it!Read full review
All the personnel from the company were brilliant. From the beginning of my booking when calling at the office repeatedly to ask questions up till the last day of the tour, the company always strive to assist me wherever possible. All reque..sted details were provided to me at the earliest. Even when my first payment didnt go through, they did not simply cancel and keep the booking amount but reminded me promptly about the payment. And after receiving the final payment, the tour company was equally receptive. The tour guide (Evan Dilauro) was very helpful and hardworking throughout the whole tour. He was able to manage the needs of the group and the individual very effectively. The planning and execution of the tour itself was good and made better by the fact that the whole group became very close during the whole experience. Would surely take one of the other experiences offered by them the next time i visit the country.Read full review
This trip is fast-paced (as indicated in the notes) but it’s well worth it when short on time. Our guide/driver Bradley was amazing at creating more time through manipulating the schedule (eg starting a bit earlier to miss other groups) a..nd extremely knowledgeable. It never felt like we were rushed. His creativity with the menu was impressive too, much more than I expected on a camping trip. He also handled group members’ dietary requirements like a pro. My only tip would be to avoid the height of summer if possible as it’s very hot for the hikes.Read full review
Two weeks ago during a trip from Australia to the USA my husband and I embarked on this adventure with 10 strangers and our tour guide Joe. We had no idea of the spectacular landscapes that lay ahead for us. We chose the 2 nights camping ra..ther than cabins (it had been about 30 years since we had seen the inside of a tent) on the promise of spectacular sunrises from our “door” - see photo . (There was an air conditioned cabin option which may suit some people better, but we were up for adventure in the 2 person tent ️ .)
Admittedly the timeline was intense - however we enjoyed every minute of it! Joe was such a lovely bloke: full of information about the places we were visiting, really well organised with meals - self catered for the most part, great with the whole group and he totally made this the trip of a lifetime for us all. We also really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know our group as we travelled. It hard to believe we saw and experienced so much in such a short time
