Event was great! Tour guide was the BEST couldn't ask for a better one forcsure!! Chris your the best!! Hope to see you and the group after the fall semester!!! God bless!! Much love and respect.
My girlfriend and I came back from a wonderful trip to the American Southwest with Chris Patrick ("Chrispy Patty") as our guide. The national parks are even more beautiful in real life than in photos. Moreso than the parks, for this review,.. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the planning and forethought that Chris put in to make the trip as memorable as possible. His extensive experience as a guide was evident as he had planned out every aspect of the trip, every problem was anticipated, and every scenario or obstacle had multiple back-up options. He made every effort to meet our varied needs (e.g. one member wanted oat milk for her coffee; he fit in a beautiful hike to a creek where we could all swim; he perfectly timed a sunset at dead horse canyon before the rush and to maximize the glow; and many many more). In addition, he was a funny and genuinely *good* guy and really brought the group together so that we were all friends right from the start. I have already recommended this trip to family, friends, and even strangers!Read full review

I recently took a trip with Bindlestiff. It was an awesome experience. The sites and the hikes were beautiful. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful. I plan on using them again in the future and can’t wait for my next trip!
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

This tour takes you to some of the most incredible national parks in the US. Every day we had a chance to hike in and marvel at awe-inspiring landscapes. Our guide Jon went above and beyond in his efforts to make sure that we were able to d..o and see everything that was available in each area we visited. I would highly recommend this trip!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

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 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
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
Our tour guide/driver Frank was great!! He kept us informed and stopped in between for resting time. The actual antelope tour was nice, but I feel that there should be more time in between each group, so that there’s more time to take in ..the experience and photos. The actual antelope tour felt a bit rushed. Although the tour guides were great.Read full review
