Did the 3 day mini park explorer tour to Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon. Joe and Adrian, our guides, were exceptional and made the trip comfortable and very memorable. They were knowledgeable, helpful, accommodating to special requests, and very approachable. Great planning, incredible views and hikes, a real window to the American southwest. This was my second tour with bindlestiff and I highly recommend traveling with them!

Having never been to the aforementioned National Parks, I knew I one day had to go explore them. I am over-the-moon happy I chose Bindlestiff Tours (the 3-Day National Parks Mini Explorer) to reach these amazing destinations.
Everything from the itinerary, lunches, lodging/camping, driving and educational pieces were taken care of and delivered with passion, care, and expertise.
Our tour guide Adriann along with accompanying guides Amy, Alex & Joe were exceptionally knowledgeable, passionate about the field, as well as friendly, approachable, fun and professional.
Bonus points for such a thoughtfully put together road trip playlist!
I would not hesitate to recommend Bindlestiff Tours to friends and family, and am already looking forward to the next trip planned and led by the Bindlestiff Team :)

We just returned from the 3-day whirlwind tour. Our guide, Haley, was friendly, helpful, and an expert driver, as we covered 1,000 miles in those 3 days, a little more time in the van than we expected, although frequent bathroom breaks were included. Do add the optional trip to Antelope Canyon – it was the highlight for all 6 in our group and make sure to bring cash for tips for the excellent Navaho driver on that trip as well as the Navaho jeep ride driver. Do Not pay for the optional $15.00 Navaho family dinner as it was a huge disappointment. We pulled up to a metal shed type building devoid of any decoration and no air, with no interaction from a woman who handed us a paper plate of taco bread, cold beans, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes and warm bottled water to eat on dirty tables. The sandwich lunches provided were also not very good – they were prepackaged and by the third day were soggy and inedible and no chips were left. The person who was gluten free received salads and we all wished that we had known that option was available. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable trip with spectacular views.

My trip was fantastic. Sleeping under the stars to hiking the Grand Canyon. I had chosen the tent option and my tour guide was really helpful and friendly. Had good knowledge about the places we visited.

My husband and I had the absolute best time while visiting some of the prettiest country in our nation. The guide, Hogan was extremely professional, knowledgeable and prompt. Hogan knows history, and was able to share so much amazing information about the area and the sites we visited. We were the only two out of group that camped in the tent and Hogan stayed with us at the camp ground, just in case we needed anything, which put a whole other twist to the care that was provided. We were able to see the stars so brightly at night and wake up to a breathtaking sunrise. I can’t express enough how amazing that experience was. Every single stop offered something unique, yet equally stunning. Antelope Canyon was my favorite and Monument Valley was my husband’s favorite. The helicopter ride was out of this world. We shared the tour with total strangers, which became our new friends very quickly. Everyone on this tour was super respectful.

Did the 3-day tour and it was a great experience. This definitely was not an in-depth tour and shouldn't be perceived so prior to the tour. It was intense and schedule was tight throughout the whole 3-day tour. Wish we had more time at each place. However, the tour was perfect to give people a taste of the beauty and wonder of these landmarks. Certainly will come back for more in the future. Our tour guide Paul was very helpful and engaging. He did a great job managing the whole group as well as the busy schedule. Honestly speaking, it would be hard to find a better tour guide than Paul. Overall, a tour worth time and every penny.

I would give this company 6/5 if that was an option. The company initial communication was swift and easy to follow. Dylan was our guide, he has a fantastic ability to read the needs of each individual. He is very conscience making sure that you know what is happening and informative of the local area. I highly recommend this company.

Wow, we had an absolutely amazing time with Bindlestiff tours. It was one of the first things myself and my girlfriend booked when we were planning our holiday (based on reviews) and we couldn’t be any happier with our choice. It was without a doubt the highlight of our 5 week United States holiday.
I’ve written and rewritten this review multiple time and I can’t express how happy I am without spoiling anything for anyone or sounding like I’ve been paid for what I've said.
I haven’t! and please do yourself a favour and go on a tour with Joel or Dylan. Fall in love with the south west like we did.
Thanks again. 🙏
