This tour was the best money ever spent! It truly exceeded our expectations. Chris was our tour guide, and we had a nice, small group. There were 4 of us in the van and a family of 3 following by car.
From start to end, the organization wa..s meticulous and the communication was on point. Chris made sure all information was conveyed and questions answered. All Covid protocols were explained, and I think all of us felt safe traveling together. Chris was personable and enjoyable to travel with.
The van was comfortable and had ample storage space for luggage and supplies. We chose the hotel option, and both hotels in Bryce and in Monument Valley were clean and conveniently located. Ruby's Inn in Bryce was particularly cool and was located in a cute little town.
The sites we saw were beyond comprehension!! Nature is a true wonder! Zion, Bryce, Horseshoe Bend, Monument Valley, and Grand Canyon are truly breathtaking. Antelope Canyon was spectacular and should be part of the itinerary, not an optional add-on. Our family and friends are amazed at the photos we took. Bonuses like dining with a Navajo family, seeing Forrest Gump's cross country path, and seeing Route 66 and the town that inspired "Cars", the movie, were icing on the cake!
I can't say enough (clearly!) about this unique experience. Many friends asked for the tour company name and want to take this tour.Read full review
94% Excellent and Well Organized Private 3-Day Tour

First of all Cindy at Bindlestiff Tours Customer Service was great and handled all our queries patiently and provided all the required information.
Jon as the driver cum Tour Guide was great - he had detailed knowledge of the places we v..isited and scheduled the activities very well. Because of his effective scheduling we(family of 3) were able to do 3 hikes - Part of Bright Angel Trail in Grand Canyon(2 miles into the canyon and back), Zion Narrows Riverside Walk(we were also able to wade 25 meters into the Virgin river at Narrows) and the 2.9 mile Queen's Garden Trail and Navajo Loop in Bryce Canyon. We were also able to swap Horseshoe Bend for Lake Powell. We were given an option of Navajo Taco.
Dinner at a Navajo family home. The dinner was very good. The lodgings at Bryce's Inn and at Monument Valley's Lodge were excellent as was the sunrise view from our sunrise view room at Goulding's Lodge. Jon stopped at various view points on the way and also took our photos(Desert View, Mather Point for 30 minutes, Checkerboard Mesa, Lake Mead etc.). Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend Bindlestiff for any of the tours listed on their website.Read full review
Experienced the Amaxing Views of the Grand Canyon for our first time. We learned a lot about these areas and the views were breathtaking. Next year, we will go again. Our local tour guide was very friendly and funny.
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
The tour is great and our tour guide - David is really knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of information about Grand Canyon and other major sites along the trip (such as Hoover Dam, Boulder City, Kingman City, Route 66,...). This is a long tou..r and involves a lot of travelling on the road. We only spent around 3 hours actually in Grand Canyon. The tour also came with breakfast snack and a deli box for lunch.Read full review
100% Best tour guide ever Gia and best driver Nelson

I like that Gia, our tour guide for today’s trip 11/09/21 is very friendly, very accommodating and patient enough for all of us. She was always reminding us to sanitize our hands and masking the entire trip. I really enjoyed our tour. Nel..son, our tour driver, thank you for driving us safe.Read full review
This tour is great! The best trip I have ever had. The tour was well organized and our Guide Joe is very responsible and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it if you love hiking and meet new friends.
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

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
