I did two tours - the 3 day national parks (camping option) and the ghost towns day trips. Jen Barnes was the tour guide for both and she is incredible - friendly, knowledgeable and super organised! Both trips pack in a lot so you'll be e..xhausted but it's well worth it. Amazing how much we manage to see given the limited time. I'd highly recommend both tours and will use again. Best tour operator I've ever used, hands down. Thanks Jen :-)Read full review
We traveled on three day tour to Zion NP, Bryce Canyon NP, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon NP. Our tour leader Vern was loaded with information and infectiously entertaining. A genuinely top bloke who always maintained a sense of humour, ..even despite the serial tardiness of some of the other tour guests. We managed to cram so many sights into three days, despite the laggards in the group, thanks largely to Vern's professionalism and his ability to wrangle people like a sheep dog rounding up a flock. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly camping on the rim of Monument Valley - this was one of those life defining moments, as we settled in with locally made Navajo tacos and watched the monuments transform into dazzling reds and oranges with the setting sun. This was a brilliant, professionally run tour that covered so much territory it's hard to believe that we were out for only three days. The pace is intense - but for those short on time and intent on seeing as many of the incredible sights of the southwestern deserts as possible, this is undoubtedly the tour for you.Read full review
We chose the 3 day tour. Covering Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon. We chose this one for Monument Valley. As it turned out. The other locations were equally amazing. My wife felt Zion Canyon ..was the highlight. I still believe Monument Valley is. Our guide was Marie. She was wonderful. Friendly, helpful and well organised. She had so much knowledge and told us many amazing stories about the region. The tour itself is quite busy. Withe the different places to visit and the driving. Even so we always got a couple of hours at least. At every location.Read full review
Considering you get to see 5 major SW attractions and several others such as Powell Lake and Dam, and Route 66, the tour is great for those looking to get everything done in a short time at a great price. The small group making it personabl..e was perfect, with enthusiastic and very experienced guides.Read full review
We had a great time on this 3 day tour with 14 people plus our tour guide. The itinerary was packed full with sights to see, and our guide made great recommendations to maximize our enjoyment and to see as much as possible. We would highly ..recommend this experience to anyone!Read full review
The whole tour was well organised and informative and despite being a little older than the rest of the ' campers ' we were well provided for and thoroughly enjoyed the wonders of the monuments and parks.
We chose because it promised small groups and our group of 12 was great, including 4 people traveling alone – all ages (from very youthful to my own 71 years), and from all corners of the globe. The tour includes plenty of walks, with dif..ferent levels of difficulty available so I had no trouble taking it easy on the shorter, flatter paths. Our guide Marie was excellent – knowledgeable, attentive, and fun, with her own personal playlist during the long drives to fit the location (quite amusing). We were blessed with perfect weather – hot and sunny, even Zion at night wasn’t as cold as expected. The bus and campsites were comfortable, and setting up camp not too difficult, with easily assembled tents. The beautiful full moon gave us plenty of light, although it did mean we missed out on the brilliance of the milky way, and waking up on the 3rd day to sunrise over Monument Valley was gorgeous.
As others have observed, the schedule is intense, packing into 3 days some 6 locations and about 1000 miles - from Vegas to Zion to Bryce to Antelope Canyon to Monument Valley to the Grand Canyon; also Lake Powell somewhere along the way; plus Seligman on Route 66 thrown in on the way back to Vegas - but Marie kept us on track ensuring we had the time we needed to enjoy it all - with each location more spectacular than the last. Both Zion and Antelope Canyon are amazing; and I didn’t think anything could be grander than Bryce, but I was wrong. The Grand Canyon, from the air as well as from the rims, was truly awesome. If it’s available, don’t miss the Grand Canyon heli tour (preferably the longer 45m option) – it’s unbelievable. All up, a brilliantly conceived and executed tour, thoroughly recommended.Read full review
As a way to see several National Parks in the south Utah - Arizona region, this was an excellent tour. Our tour leader, Vern, made every effort to make sure we did things that fitted the weather, our level of hiking experience and tastes. T..he result was that we saw so many things in a relatively short time, had lots of fun as a group, did many satisfying hikes and had enjoyable camping experiences. I couldn't recommend this tour group highly enough.Read full review
A memorable tour. On time for the entire three days. Good breakfasts and ""make your own lunch"" after breakfast each day was a great idea. Adequate time was given for activities at the various sites with a variety of options to take.
All.. camping equipment was provided, including a sleeping sheet for your sleeping bag. Our guide had a good knowledge of the areas we visited and travelled through - including history, anthropology and geology.Will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.Read full review
Great tour. It is only 3 days, but you get to see a lot. It's very nice that it's in small groups. The camping sites were very good. You can participate in the activities at any level, good for very sportive or less sportive people. Nice fo..od.Read full review
Had an amazing time. Would recommend them, Vern was an excellent guide, whose knowledge of the tour and life in general is unsurpassed. The group was suitable for all we had mixed ages and it worked well. We had a lot of fun mixed in with a.. really informative tour. I would not hesitate to book again in the future.Read full review
I had a wonderful trip visiting the canyons of Utah, Nevada and Arizona. Jennie was a great guide, she had lots of great stories and information about the canyons of south west USA. This was the highlight of my American holiday!
We had the best tour guild you could get thank you Jen we had great time. This tour is full on and you see a lot in 3 days all the parks have there amazing things to see.We took the accommodation extra and found both places very good with ..comfy beds we. At the Grand Canyon we took the extra helicopter ride it was amazing to see the canyon from up there I would recommend this extra to everyone that takes this tour. Thanks again Jen we had amazing tour and think you was the greatest tour guide ever.Read full review
A wonderful experience and recommended without hesitation. Our very friendly and humorous Tour Leader JD was very professional; his knowledge of the areas visited made it much more interesting. Our group had various nationalities and ages ..from 20- 60s+ which was a good mix. It was a lot of miles to cover in the three days of the tour but breaks were frequent. Be prepared to change seats in the bus each day so everyone can have a chance to talk with others in the group while travelling and to take turns in the more comfy or window seats. As a couple of very fit nearly 60 yr olds we still found the full Bryce Canyon loop hike a challenge so the full loop (about 45mins- 1 hr) is not for the faint hearted given the time constraints . But if you can do it, it is a magical hike. Take the Antelope Canyon optional tour; you will not be disappointed! You need good mobility for the steep ladders and sometimes very narrow pathways and it is largely underground. Watch the sunrise over Monument Valley; simply stunning. If you can, take a helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon. It is an amazing site from the ground but from above it takes on a mind numbing perspective; unparalled beauty.
We travelled mid-October and while very warm in Las Vegas, evening and night time temperatures on the tour meant warm clothing was a necessity. As others have said in their reviews, it is fast paced but gives you a once in a lifetime experience to see all of these attractions in a short amount of time; or a great taster to come back again and do it at a more leisurely pace. 10/10.Read full review
