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 Chris' relaxed, friendly, humorous, and approachable demeanour is superseded only by his attention to detail to ensure we all had a wonderful time.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

This tour is exceptionally cheap and for the price , it is really reasonable. You will not get any tour cheaper than this. Tour guide will also help you avail of the cheapest available food and souvenirs to think this is a C2 level tour gu..ide. Only downside was chaotic first day but it was also explained that first day is dedicated to gathering everyone coming in and out of the country. Over all you can’t really ask for more given the price of this tour. Thanks.Read full review
I booked 7-days south west national parks camping tour and had a great time . Our tour guide Joel is awesome . Although we got tough weather conditions , he made sure we still could enjoyed the trip to the most . Not only sharing great stor..ies about where we went to but also all poems he read during sunset and campfire were really touching . We got lucky with our group of 13 amazing people from all over the world . I miss our time together as a family . And national parks are wonderful . Highly recommend this tour !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
The overall experience was good. We went on a day with a possible chance of rain. The canyon guides (not the same as your tour bus guide) are locals and very nice. They made the experience very enjoyable. The canyon was beyond amazing! ..I could not stop saying WOW every time we turned a corner. It started to rain about 3/4 of the way into the canyon tour. The experience of that was different. Everyone rushed out as rain mixed with the sand. Boy was everyone sandy looking LOL!
After the canyon we had lunch then visit Horseshoe Bend. It started pouring when we got there. Horseshoe bend had a nice view but it was so gloomy and raining that it was hard to enjoy. Hopefully we will be back on a sunny day!
- Bus Tour guide was nice
- There were a lot of Chinese tourist on the bus but it didn't bother us. The guide spoke English as well.
- Tour bus became a little warm on the way there, not too uncomfortable but wished it was a tad cooler.
Tips:
- You have time to grab lunch after your Antelope Canyon tour. There are multiple quick eats in the area they let us off to grab food at.
- An in between stop is a convenient store at a gas station. Not a whole lot of options but if you didn't grab breakfast or need a snack for the road, there's stuff to grab.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.

Eva is knowledgeable and approachable but the tour is somewhat too rushed because we need to arrive at the antelope canyon before 12 noon as some of us paid the ticket beforehand and if we arrive late, it is not refundable, thus the reason...
1. From the time we left las vegas, i had to ask to stop at nearby gas station for a pee (after 3 hours).
2. Hiking to horseshoe bend from the drop off is 1.6 miles, we were given 30 mins for the whole thing including the 1.6 hike both ways + the actual sighseeing / picture since the place was crowded with tourists, getting on a good spot will take up time. I had to walk fast in order to get to the bus on time.
3. This is a good feedback now, buffet in a chinese cuisine restaurant for 15 usd is nice!Read full review
Where and how to start my review?? hmmm, May be the words, great, fantastic, worth it, lovely, breathtaking and joyful are enough or maybe not. Anyways, Yes, sure I recommend the tour to everyone, we experienced unplanned excellent true fou..r seasons in 7 days, we experienced the beauty of nature, people and gained lots of knowledge. I recommend, traveling May/End of June, the weather is lovely and not hot (I don't like very hot weather but sure it’s up to you to travel any time you wish ). Food was fine, covered three meals, was enough for all, the trip/Van was comfortable. Joel (I hope I spelled your name right) was so informative, full of history and poems, and sure helpful- Thank you Joel. our group was lovely – nice meeting you guys. the tents were big and clean, camps were in great locations, shower facilities very good, just bring your own toiletry bag and towels of course, slippers and walking shows, or good shoes for hiking, plenty of sun block if you are going in summer and don’t worry about your coffee, tea or snacks- you will have plenty of stops while moving from locations to the another, taste all kinds of coffee and tea flavors. I think I shall stop here, enjoy your TripRead full review
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
Nice tour guy and would definitely recommend others. Awesome tour! Only issue I had was the bus. It was way too hot sitting in the bus and I’m not sure if all buses are the same but the one we rode in need a major AC fix. Overall, what a.. great tour guy! Thank you Frank!Read full review
