We booked this tour a year ago and then COVID entered the US in March 2020. We were so fortunate to be able to take this tour; my husband I were Bindlestiff's first tour to occur as Nevada, Utah and Arizona began to open. The trip was every..thing we had hoped for! We chose the lodging option and the motels were very clean and comfortable. We also encountered several areas that were still closed due to COVID. However, Joel our guide made sure to fill in with exciting places that were not on the original tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a highlight tour through these national parks.Read full review
My 7-days SW tour was everything you could ask for and more. It was amazing. Joel was a
knowledgeable, patient, entertaining, helpful guide. He had interesting and delightful stories for
every site. It brought life to every landscape. Our.. group was only 4 travelers and I enjoyed each
one of them. I appreciated the optional activities such as canyoneering, (I went repelling for the
first time). Bindelstiff and Joel did everything in their power to make our trip wonderful. SW USA
is a wonderland like no other and I am so glad I took this tour. I would highly recommend it. I
look forward to another trip with Bindlestiff in the near future.Read full review
I cannot say enough good things about this tour group and our guide Joel. In these uncertain
times, they were attentive to all concerns. Prompt on all e-mails and worked with us on changes
to itinerary. Joel was wonderful guide. Hard work..ing, knowledgeable and THOUGHTFUL! He
even got my husband a birthday cake! We are a couple in our 60's and we travel all over the
world. Our anniversary/birthday trip to Italy was cancelled this was Plan B. Exceeded our
expectations! Wear your mask, wash your hands, be considerate of others space, but GO. Go
see the world and call Bindlestiff to plan where!Read full review
Amazing trip, incredible views and memorable moments! Especially loved the Canyonlands and
Arches. Chris was terrific as our guide and went the extra mile to make sure we all got the most
out of our trip. I’d definitely recommend this t..rip to anyone looking to experience the Southwest!Read full review
I literally (Joe literally said literally a lot) cannot say enough good things about this amazing trip.
Our guide Joe was super friendly, VERY informative, and made sure all needs were met the
entire three days. This is a PACKED three day..s and totally worth the money. Zion was hot but a
great solid hike. Bryce was delicately beautiful and one of the best hikes I've ever done.
Camping was a bit chilly in the morning but expected. Horseshoe Bend was just stunning! The
jeep ride through the Navajo Reservation with Joseph was very informative and a great way to
see Monument Valley. Even managed a picture where Forest Gump says "I'm gonna go home
now". Day three was all about the Grand Canyon! I'm glad the hike around the rim was easy as I
was pretty wiped but the views, WOW! A quick stop at a historic Burger/Milkshake shop on
Route 66 was a great way to end this trip. I highly recommend this trip and this company. I was
well taken care of from beginning to end. TIPS: Hiking backpack with water bottles, saline nose
spray (for those coming from humid climates), cash for a tip (Joe deserved every bit of the $$),
and choose the camping option...you won't be disappointed. Thanks for making my bucket list a
little shorter!Read full review
I had an amazing time on this tour! Everything was organized very well and I had an action
packed week. The tour guide, Chris, knew all the parks like the back of his hand and pointed us
to the best trails and went with us when he could o..nto the trails. We had our tents bc of COVID
which was nice, but not everyone wore their masks in the car. However, masks and hand
sanitizers were always provided and you can follow along in your own car if you don't want to be
in the van. Overall, I felt safe and had a great time on this trip and would totally recommend this
tour!Read full review
Seeing these natural wonders were awe-inspiring on their own and Bindlestiff, with the help of
our guide, Joel, made it even more fun with his expert knowledge of the parks and hiking. As a
first time solo traveler and an occasional hiker.. from Florida with no elevation, I was afraid that I
would be left behind or hold everyone up, but, Joel made sure that I was comfortably going on
my own pace and was always welcomed and included by my awesome trip buddies. A+Read full review
The best tour I ever booked with tour company. It was only 3 of us as it was late in the season
and COVID-19 i guess but we were very lucky to still have it on. Stunning places, all worth
seeing, very well organized, great group of people.. and our tour guide Khriss was very
knowledgeable, friendly, punctual and funny. Thank you!Read full review
What an exceptional trip with such a knowledgeable tour guide, Joe. He knows so much about each park and points out every possible point of interest. The beauty of the parks alone is sufficient to amaze anyone. I have a fear of heights, but.. Joe was masterful at minimizing my quirk. My favorites, and it is so hard to pick, was the "slot canyon", Zion, and Monument Valley. Having a tour and a meal with a Navajo was very interesting and informative. If you are interested in a first rate experience, choose the tour! If you are lucky enough to have Joe as your tour guide, and Cindy in the home office for administrative support, you will have hit the jack pot.Read full review
This trip was INCREDIBLE! I cannot overstate how happy we were with the trip overall, but especially with our tour guide Joel. The description of the 3 day tour on the website honestly doesn't do it justice! We were thrilled with the excurs..ions, accommodations, transportation, and food. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour and can't wait to book with this company again!!Read full review
The Antelope Canyon itself is a breathtaking place.
The only downside is that I really think it’s unnecessary ask everyone to arrive 90 minutes for check-in.
I wonder how is to make people wait for 90 minutes in the middle of the summer ..without having a proper waiting room. 60 minutes prior would be more appropriate.Read full review
