A great experience! - 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.

Look for the Green Tractor - 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.

Unappealing name - fantastic tour 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. 🙏

Would 100% do this trip all over again! - This was the best experience I could have asked for! Jonathan was a wonderful guide and made sure we were well looked after and aware of the history / knowledge of the national parks that we visited. He also taught us what settings to put our phone camera at so we could take a photo of the Milky Way!
We made friends with all the other people on the tour, as everyone was lovely! My partner and I are British so we asked everyone for food recommendations for the rest of our trip.
The food options and packed lunches were delicious and nutritious, and the campsites were cozy and equipped with bathrooms and charging points.
I would recommend going to Antelope Canyon as the optional extra, as it was our favourite spot we visited on this trip!
I am already looking to plan another trip with Bindlestiff Tours in 2024!

Amazing trip! - We took this tour in October 2023 and had a blast. Our guide, John, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were lucky to take this trip during the annular eclipse and our guide made a stop so we could watch it.
We chose the camping option, but the it was too cold in Bryce to camp so we stayed in a hotel the first night. The next night we stayed at a camping site in Monument Valley and it was incredible. We also did all did Antelope Canyon and the helicopter ride. The highlight for me was seeing Monument Valley and the helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon. I will definitely take another trip with Bindlestiff.
Pro tip: bring a bandana or something to cover your face during the jeep tours. The jeeps kick up a lot of dust driving through the desert.

Great 3 day trip !!! - This is a must-tour if you like the outdoors and hiking. This trip was amazing and our tour guide Hailey was the best. We were able to hike at our own pace and level. If you wanted to hike the rime in these parks you could do that if you wanted to hike into the canyons you could do that too!!!. It was delightful and the scenery was magnificent. We are so glad that we did this trip and were able to experience all these natural wonders!!
The weather was cool so, it was perfect for hiking. All of our hotels and meals were great and allowed for beautiful scenery. We watched the sunrise in Monument Canyon on the second morning while eating our breakfast. So fun and we hope to return to all these sites in the future.
We were with a group of 12 wonderful people that we met on the trip and everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this trip!! I also can't say enough about our tour guide Hailey who always guided us and told us what we could do at every stop!!
Thank you Hailey for making this trip a success!!😀

The best tour company, Bindlestiff, ever!!! - We did the three-day tour to the different national parks and it was the best ever. Indi our tour guide was so knowledgeable and kind. I need a special diet and he was so attentive of my needs. I love that in each park we have time to hike. Bryce Canyon was the most beautiful hike. Indi also was able to bring out group together, after couple of hours in the car, we were like old friends. He was just amazing. He also drove so carefully and every two hours he gave us a stop-break so the trip never felt long or that we were rushed. The pace was wonderful. We are planning to take more tours with Bindlestiff. What a great way to see and enjoy the southwest and other parts of the country - worry free--..

Sights are exquisite - Overall it was a good experience. Bindlestiff has planned the tours very well and have packed a lot in. The sights were extraordinary, safety was never in doubt, the guide was knowledgeable. It remains a solid option. There were concerns, particularly regarding getting significantly less time in Grand Canyon for some of us than others due to miscommunication, which could have been avoided. In addition, although the company sent out an email re need for additional warm layers, without camping experience we didn't know how to gauge that - it gets extremely cold in Bryce Canyon at night, so just get a lot of layers! All in all, the sights were majestic, the camping on day 2 was lovely, our tour group was lovely, and it was mostly well planned! I do really wish though that the guide had been a bit more able to engage different cultural contexts. For instance, it was an amazing geography and I would have loved to have been able to ask more questions and to feel like I can ask questions about time allocation in different parks.
