I just recently completed the 3 day National Parks tour with Chelsea as our tour guide.
I just wanted to reach out here and let you guys know how much of a fantastic job she did. This trip was truly one of the best experiences of my life.
..
I met some great people on the tour, but most importantly, Chelsea clearly loved teaching us, showing us around, and sharing her overall knowledge of the parks. Everything was greatly organized and the transitions between parks were seamless.
My expectations were exceeded ten-fold.
Just thought I'd reach out and give my feedback because I know how useful it can be. And thanks again to Chelsea for such a fantastic time!Read full review

It was an amazing experience and more than what I payed for. Everything I wanted to see and I wanted to photograph were covered. Especially my trip to monument valley was an eye opener about Navajho culture and experience! Our tour guide Ni..chole went above and beyond to make sure that everything what we wanted was shown and planned these wonderful sunset picnics at every place! I am coming back to visit Alaska with you!Read full review
We a group of 4 friends and just returned from a great national parks tour. We were looking for something self drive and covid friendly l. We booked last minute with Bindlestiff. The tour was seamless from start to finish. We took the 3 day.. version to Zion, Bryce, Horseshoe Bend, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas. We chose the camping option and were blown away by our tour! There was a long drive on day 3 but we opted to extend in the Grand Canyon to make it 4 days. A great suggestion - thank you Bindlestiff! We were one of 3 groups self driving this tour and were met at each national park by our expert guide for optional walks and talks. It was so easy. We could opt in or out of whatever we wanted. Our guide met us each night to set up camp and we had some great campfires and star gazing. One family opted to stay in hotels but joined us both nights for the campfire. We received all of our route planning and the whole tour was very easy. Camping equipment was top notch and our guide was 5 star! We will be back for sure to take more tours in the future. Highly recommended!

This tour was truly amazing! We saw so much in a small amount of time (the 3-day tour). Once in a lifetime experience! Highly recommend. Our tour guide, Joe, was hysterical, accommodating, and informative!Read full review
Great tour! Joe was an Awesome guide. Very relaxed and well planned for solo traveler. Also , it didn't hurt that we had a great group who lived well. Beautiful scenery and great bang for the buck. Highly recommend for solo travelers.
Wonderful 3 day national parks tour from Las Vegas - excellent value, highly recommend
"We wanted to book the 7 day national parks tour and it was full, so we booked the 3 day tour instead and it was fantastic from start to finish. The iti..nerary is packed, make no mistake about that, but Bindlestiff know about tours and what works. There was never a dull moment and we traveled with two other families and a couple, 13 of us in all, lovely people from around the world.
Our guide was Brad, a 40 something well travelled, quirky, funny, friendly guy who knows his stuff and shares as much or as little as you want. He has great life stories to share too. The route was well planned, the locations, stops and everything were excellent. All the recommended walks/ trail routes were perfect.
Our routing was scenic throughout, departing from Las Vegas to Zion (via Glen Canyon/Dam), Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon, also stopping along Route 66. We added on the optional Antelope Canyon which was mesmerising, plus a 25 minute helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, which was fabulous.
The vehicle, tents, sleeping bags and equipment were in excellent condition. The tents were new and easy to put up/pack up. Sleeping bags / sleep sheets were spotlessly clean and in excellent condition. Very clean hot shower and toilet/washing facilities. Camping locations were perfect (the second night with a clear view of Monument Valley for sunset and sunrise).
The trip stops were all amazing and wonderful each in their own way and its not possible to say one is better than the other! We highly recommend this trip, Bindlestiff Tours and Brad.
We are also going on the 3 day Yosemite tour from San Francisco and will review that."Read full review
This tour was so good that after I took my godson 3 years ago, I took my adult daughter this time. The sites are amazing. Zion, Bryce, Dead Horse, Canyonlands, Arches, Monument Valley, Horseshoe Bend, Grand Canyon including the helicopter r..ide. It was a hot week with temps near 100 sometimes and our guide Joel Clark showed us some nice places to cool off. During the drives from place to place, Joel shares his knowledge of the local history of the Southwest including the Navajo, cowboy culture (art and literature) to present day Vegas throughout the trip. He provides insight to the area with his geological discussions of the rock formations and the plant and animal life. Camping in tents was very comfortable and listening to Joel play his guitar and sing around the campfire on a cool evening made this all a spectacular trip. Finally, this trip was at the end of June 2020 when Covid restrictions were in place and they did a great job following the guidelines. Thanks Joel for another amazing trip. PS Joel was my guide on the first trip also and both trips were really uniquely awesome.Read full review
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
