100% Excellent 3 day national parks tour from Vegas

You produced a Rolls Royce service from start to finish-their emails were full of all the
information we needed and even a few days before we were due to go on the trip, they kindly
emailed us to bring another layer of clothing as it had tu..rned slightly colder there. We had a
fabulous time where Jon, our tour guide, knew absolutely everything about the Navajos,
geography and cultures; he also had a fabulous sense of humour and looked after us from start
to finish. On our second night we had supper (Tacos) at Sheila's Farmhouse-a brilliant end to
the day. We visited Zion, Bryce, Monument Valley, Antelope and the Grand Canyon - we also
had an additional stop at Horseshoe Bend which was incredible. Our family and friends were
amazed at the photos we were sending back on WhatsApp. Plenty of stops and picnics
provided. A huge THANK YOU to you - we would (and have) definitely recommended this
trip to family and friends - you will not be disappointed and we would definitely book another trip
with this company!Read full review
Absolutely fantastic tour cannot recommend highly enough. Our guide Chris Patrick was very
knowledgeable, had great organisation skills and provided good food, he was very flexible in
meeting everyone’s needs. The tour Was small, just 14 ..people with a wide mix of nationalities
and ages which worked well. Thanks for a great weekRead full review
Highly recommend it to anyone! Great experience and my first time camping. Alex was a very
knowledgeable guide. Also, great way to meet people all over the world!

Tour guide updated us a day before for an early pick up. Gave us reminders on what and not to bring during the tour. Pick up was prompt and were on the road in no time. Since travel was far, lucky we had stops going and back. Tour guide did..n't give so much details on what can be seen along the way. I was also expecting to see the Hoover Dam up close but it was from a distance. Didn't drive thru it as well. Aside from a few information, tour guide was of little help at tall. Some passengers even didn't want to pay the 'service fee' or actually tips for the driver and the guide. The driver has even more to say about the things along the way. Too bad he doesn't have the mic on him and I can only hear a little about their conversation with the guide. You can actually add a helicopter tour upon getting to Grand Canyon - just tell your guide. Shuttle bus was in poor condition, so many loud banging inside the bus.Read full review
I did the 7 day Southwest and 7 day Yellowstone following. Could never have seen what I did any other
way. Camping equipment was in great condition. Food was great. Really good value for money. Options
to do your own exploring. Can not reco..mmend highly enough. Big thanks to Chris Patrick, awesome
guide, great fun,it was true meaning of a holidayRead full review
This trip is unforgettable and really well organized. We did a lot of things in 3 days so it couldn't help
dont have much time for each place. Our guide, Alex, did an amazing job and knowledgeable. He knew
what he's doing. Surprisingly, Mon..ument valley was the most impressive one. I was expecting to be the
Grand Canyon though. I very much liked this trip. going to see new great places with new nice people. I
do believe ones who chose to go travel to the same place must have some things in common and I was
right the destiny brought us to meet even in a short time. At last, I highly recommend this trip especially
with the camping option.Read full review
A great tour with a great guide. You have enough time to walk, hike and take photos everywhere.The highlight is
the camping in Monument Valley. Fantastic !!!
I did the 3 day South-Western National Parks trip in September and was very impressed with the tour;
knowledgeable tour guide (Joel) and packed a lot in for 3 days. Would highly
Recommend!
In ten days we visited many places, yellowstone, grand canyon, LV, Lake Tahoe, antelope canyon, Disneyland and universal studios. It is a great trip if this is your first time to USA and only have ten days about. The tour guide was kind, ev..erything has been perfectly arranged, he knows what to do at all times, we worry nothing just need to pay and enjoy. Great tour.Read full review
I recently took the 3-day National Parks tour, and it was fantastic! From start to finish, everything was
well-organized, and any questions I had before booking were answered quickly. A lot is fit into these three days,
but things never fel..t rushed or like there wasn’t enough time.The pacing between each day is very well laid out. All
of the locations we visited are just as wonderful as they appear in photos, if not more so, and the road trip parts
were just as enjoyable for me. I was somewhat under the impression that driving around in the desert would be
just staring at miles of sand and flat scenery, which I couldn’t have been more wrong about! It’s absolutely
beautiful everywhere you look out there. I did this trip solo, and if that’s something you’re considering, don’t let
being nervous about travelling alone stop you! The group that we were travelling with was great, and I ended up
spending a lot of time with a couple of people my age who were also travelling solo. Everyone else was very
friendly and easy to get along with, and you get to know people from all over the world who you’d never have the
chance to meet otherwise. I went the week after Labor Day weekend, which seemed to be a good time - less
crowded and the weather was great. One thing I really enjoyed was how much free time we had. As we
approached each destination, we received a map of the park, and recommendations for which trails were advised
based on duration and difficulty. After that, we were turned loose and got to spend our time however we wanted.
I did a decent amount of hiking and still had plenty of time to take in the views, rest, and check out any visitor
centers/museums. If you’re not a big hiker, most places had a scenic viewpoint close to the drop off point, or a
basic walk you could do. I chose the camping option instead of lodging, and was a little nervous
about it, as I’d only camped once before, years ago. I’m really glad I chose this option though! Falling asleep with
all the stars and Milky Way overhead the first night was an amazing experience, and the up closeview of sunrise
over Monument Valley was also incredible. The shower/bathroom facilities were good, and all of the provided
equipment was comfortable and clean. The tent was easy to set up, and roomy even with two people inside. I’d
recommend bringing an inflatable pillow, and a sweater - the first night was pretty chilly, because of the elevation!
The lodging options both looked like they would have been nice as well. The van we drove around in was
comfortable - we were full up with 15 people, but I always had plenty of legroom. Meals were simple but filling -
even with all the extra calories being burned, I was never hungry at any point. I definitely recommend doing the
optional dinners each night, especially the meal at the Navajo family’s home! There are also plenty of rest stops
along the way for bathroom and snack breaks. Some of the stops were really fun as well, not just at gas stations
along the road. This tour was an easy 5 stars on its own, but one thing that made it really special was our excellent
tour guide, Joel. He kept us organized and on time which must occasionally feel like herding cats. He’s a safe driver,
very funny, and has a wealth of information on the area stored away - geology, history, culture, literature, and
more that he shared with us throughout the trip. His passion for the land and its history made the trip a lot more
memorable than it would’ve been with just having facts and numbers rattled off. Plus, he played some great tunes
along the way! My only regret on this trip is not having booked the 7-day version. At the end of the third day I was
sad to leave the desert behind and drive back into all the bright lights of Vegas. I’ll definitely be booking another
trip in the future!Read full review
I would like to thank Bindlestiff for one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. The three-day
national parks tour is absolutely amazing! It's a very professional company. I would especially like to
thank the guide Mike for his profe..ssionalism and knowledge about the places visited. So if you want
breathtaking landscapes with highly skilled professionals choose the Bindlestiff, you will not regret it!Read full review
100% Fantastic experience with a great tour guide!

This was my first time traveling solo and I was a bit reluctant at the beginning. But once you meet the
group and our tour guide Chris, you are feeling welcome from the very first minute. You got to
experience the best spot of each location..s thanks to the really well planned tour so you don't feel you
are missing anything. I am a real hiker and the only thing I would like to have is a bit more of intense
hike (the longest one we did was at Bryce Canyon about 2 hours long). But that is because we had to
travel long distance to cover as much as possible sports. But I will definitely repeat again!Read full review
We recently went on the 7 day Southwest tour followed by the 7 day Yellowstone tour. We chose the
camping option.
All our expectations were exceeded. The itinerary was full on, allowing us to see everything on offer and
more.
A huge thank y..ou to Chris Patrick, our guide. He kept everyone engaged, entertained, watered and fed.
No request or concerns went unanswered. He's an asset to the Bindlestiff team and we would
DEFINITELY recommend you do these trips. Being able to stay right in the National Parks was fantastic.Read full review
100% The best (and fastest and easiest) way to see these national parks

We heard about this tour company from my parents and their friends who had a great time on a longer
tour of the same area. Because we have a college student and a high schooler, we were limited to the 3
day parks tour with a few days in Veg..as on either side. And, although this tour is billed as camping, we
happily paid more for the lodging option.
I cannot say enough great things about our tour guide, Khriss Urban. He was as knowledgeable as
someone with a PhD in geology and as entertaining as any Oscar MC. His information and anecdotes
made the miles (and there are a fair amount of miles) in the van fly by, but he also left plenty of time for
naps and just watching the scenery. He handled every logistic (rest stops, lunch provisions, hotel check
ins) and made sure the needs of each party on our tour were met.
The information given about what was needed for the trip was perfect and they promptly answered any
emailed questions beforehand. Our lodging was just what you would expect: simple, clean, comfortable
(both places had great beds), and had everything you needed and nothing you did not.
Bring a small backpack or shoulder tote - padded straps are key. You can hike a lot or a little - you will
still see everything. We would use Bindlestiff again in a heartbeatRead full review
