Firstly let me say this tour did not disappoint. The scenery was spectacular, our tour guide Evan was interesting, knowledgeable and fun. The group was a great mix of young and old and we all bonded nicely.
Yes it’s a fast paced tour but ..you have to expect that in 3 days. Evan is passionate about the area and wants you to experience as much as possible.
Camping was great, sure it rained and was windy but what do you expect, we’re in the elements. The view of monument valley upon sunrise was worth it. There are lodging options if required.
We also visited a local family for dinner and the Navaho Jeep ride was great.
I travelled solo and was made to feel very welcome. All in all a fantastic tour. Would I recommend it? Hell yeah!!!

I have had the time of my life. It has been an amazing experience. I can't say how much I enjoyed it. Landscapes in the National Parks are breathtaking.
I joined the tour on my own but I met marvelous travel companions. I have to give a ver..y special mention for Chris (travel guide and driver). He made the difference of the tour. He is really professional and loves his work. All decisions he makes are for customers can take the most of the tour. He is wise, sensible, sensitive and really fun person!
I will have these memories in my heart and mind all my life.
This tour is really a good value for money. If by the way you are looking for a trip around Utah and Arizona, please don't hesitate to join the tour. You will have a terrific time without doubt!

This trip to some of America's most iconic parks and landscapes was simply fantastic. Within a week we visited Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon, as well as other places not to mention such as the must-stop at the fam..ous Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon or lunch in a picturesque Route 66 location. The trip is very well organized. The guides are highly motivated and helpful and I didn't feel that some time was wasted. However, this also means that the trip can be hard, especially for those who choose to camp. Every day you have to get up early, set up and take down the tent, walk 2h to 4h in the parks, and there are many hours on the road. For those who like hiking and used to camping this will not be a problem and it is even fun, but is the warning for the more sedentary. There is also the option of staying in hotels and choosing the easiest walks in the parks. In terms of price, quantity and quality, I highly recommend this trip.Read full review

Had an awesome experience doing the 7 days national parks with a super guide Chris.
We got to see the highlights of the southwest. The tour is well planned and the guide is very knowledgeable. The camping were comfortable, not all have elec..tricity, take two powerbanks with you to keep your phone charged.
Highly recommended.

100% Exciting compact trip of the west- great tour
By: Anonymous | Wed Sep 04, 2019 at 12.00 AM
This is an awesome tour for folks with limited time and a great sense of adventure. My wife and I wanted to see all we could see in a few days and were excited to find a tour that included Antelope Canyon (on bucket list for years). Super t..hanks to Evan for making this a memorable experience. He is highly recommended. Its a tight time line but enough time at each spot and the spots are spectacular. The weather was comfortable enough although we had evening rain one of the nights and high wind the 2nd night of camping. Tents stayed dry and held up well. You cannot camp anywhere with a better front row view of Monument Valley. Overnight in September was cooler but pleasant. About 50 degres one night was the lowest temperature and we hit 90 degrees a few times, so layers worked well. There were 12 of us including Evan our guide in a large van pulling a trailer with our gear. We partnered with a 2nd group of equal size touring at the same time with them and had dinners and overnight camping together with them. Camp grounds were pretty nice but this is not quite glamping. You pitch your own tent each night with plenty of help and instruction- so not intimidating if you have not camped before. We had one dark sky moment the 2nd night you could sit out and watch stars. Its a busy trip with access to top spots and perfect for enjoying the highlights the west has to offer. Evan gave plenty of information about the areas and helped make the driving go quickly. Stopping about every two hours for a bathroom/water/food break. We had older (ourselves) and younger on the trip and from several countries so an ok mix and we all got along very well. I highly recommend the trip if you have the resources in time and money. The views are spectacular and we felt we had enough time at each to get a good feel for what each offered. Do again??? Sure!Read full review
Went with my 23 year old son. Had a blast! 1700 kms in a 14 people tour bus in 3 days. 7 different countries/4 continents represented (new friends). Camped in Monument Valley. Our tour guide (Evan) was extremely knowledgeable, gave us the f..ull history of every area we visited. He was kind, funny, accommodating, patient.. honestly if you can book with him you won't regret it. We would do it all over again! The trip of a lifetime.Read full review
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
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
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
