Big thanks to you, and particularly to tour leader Evan, for a truly amazing week. The whole
experience was excellent right from first contact - Becky in reservations makes enquiries / bookings a
breeze.
On the last day of the trip Evan ask..ed the group about our top three highlights of the week and I
couldn’t give him an answer - it was impossible to narrow it down since I absolutely relished everything
about the trip.
The landscapes were awesome, magnificent, magical, breathtaking. Every single one of them was a
highlight for me and I’d happily return and spend a week or more in each. With every place we visited I
kept thinking, "this must be the peak, it can’t get better than this"… and yet they just kept on coming -
high after high.
The itinerary and pace of the trip were spot-on. It was a full-on pace and for sure I’d love to have more
time in each location on another occasion, but as an introduction to the area it was perfect. I loved that
we got to see and experience so much - in fact we packed so much in that after just 24/48 hours on the
road we all felt like we’d been travelling for a week or two already. Yet the way it was all put together
meant that it never felt like *too* much - just an ongoing, sustained high of wondrous experiences!
The organisation and scheduling felt seamless and seemed to flow effortlessly (though I have no doubt
that a huge amount of effort is required from Evan and the team to make it feel that way!).
I loved the camping - great kit and all organised/set up to be super-easy and comfortable. And that
campground vista in Monument Valley - woah!
The group energy was a beautiful thing too and really contributed to the joy of the week. I have no
doubt that Evan’s energy/personality/beingness had much to do with that in terms of setting an overall
note for us all to harmonise around!
There’s only one problem… coming back to modern life, walls, computers - hmm, tricky. I just want to
do a Cheryl Strayed now and take to the wild.
Thanks SO much to the folks at you. I've already passed their details on to three other people
interested in doing the trip.Read full review
Thanks tours4fun’s help. I booked the last minute. The staff is very patient and professional. It is a early morning depart. Spent nearly 3 hours in Canyon. The Grand Canyon is really something to see.
100% Absolutely amazing trip I would do again in a heartbeat

A couple of friends and I went on a 3 day/2 night Bindlestiff tour and it was honestly incredible. Our
guide was called Bradley, and he was absolutely fantastic. I've never met anyone with so much
knowledge about the world, as well as the v..arious canyons and parks we visited. He made everything so
interesting, telling us the history and stories of everywhere we went to. The parks themselves were just
breathtaking, I've never seen anything like them, and the fact we got to camp with a view over the
mittens was an experience I'll never forget. The food provided was fantastic throughout, and Bradley
was very attentive to us, doing pit stops when needed and tailoring our trip so that it suited us. I'd
recommend Bindlestiff to everyone, because there's activities and accommodation to suit everyone. Our
trip with Bindlestiff was the best part of my trip to the US, and it is an experience I'll never forget.Read full review
We got collected from our hotel by our tour leader Mike, he was on time and super organised. We had
advised a couple of days prior that our hotel was not going to hold our luggage and they were extremely
accommodating.
Mikes knowledge of th..e area and passion for his work definitely made the difference between being
ferried to the Grand Canyon and being led into the amazingly beautiful national park.
We were advised throughout the day what the schedule looked like, Mike’s directions were always clear
and he was happy to answer all the questions that were asked of him.
We made it to the Canyon via the Hoover dam and Mike was good enough to highlight different trail
walks for different levels of skill. The trails he recommended were bang on for ability- let’s face it, I’m
not a great hiker but my mate is. I took the easy road with stunning views and she attempted some of
the more strenuous stuff.
Mike made great suggestions for the sunset and it was breathtaking. As me and my friend were camping
we got dropped at the park cafeteria for dinner while Mike dropped the others in town, we were then
collected and taken to the campsite. Lucky for us he had set up our tents already - we were instructed
on how to use and inflate the sleeping mats and sleeping bags were distributed. We had some campfire
popcorn before turning in. The sleeping bags were something else let me tell ya. It was like a warm hug!
In the morning we were provided with fruit, croissant and juice for breakfast and we packed down the
campsite - Mike was super at explaining how to dismantle everything.
We spent half a day hiking around the canyon then headed back to Vegas.
Highlights: Mike was brilliant! The time in the Canyon was just enough.
The hiking trails can be done by anyone who can walk a straight line
Wildlife everywhere.
Downfalls: it’s far. There is absolutely nothing that the company can do about distance and they do try
to break up the drive, however; it’s far.
Come prepared with water and snacks.
Overall: I can’t recommend this highly enough. It was the best all round option.
If you’re looking at a one day tour to the Canyon you are mad. Spend a couple of extra bucks and get the
best experience.

Went to the South rim by coach from Vegas, I was picked up and dropped, on-time from the hotel. The bus is nice and clean. 4.5 hrs travel time but well worth it. The view s are tremendous you just can't fathom the sheer scale of the canyon ..and photographs don't do it justice, a must see for everyone at least once in there lives.Read full review
This tour had a really nice pace to it, we saw so much in a short space of time, and never felt rushed. The
scenery was literally stunning from start to finish. Our tour guide Bradley was amazing, he was so
knowledgeable and really made the.. trip for me! The food provided throughout was great, I'm vegan and
they catered to me no worries. Bindlestiff are incredible and I would never hesitate to recommend them
to anyone!Read full review

We had an absolutely wonderful time with Jon. Not only did he take us to
many spectacular places he also knew about the local community and had a lot of fun stuff to
tell. We can only recommend this three days tour. We got much more than ex..pected.Read full review
Bindlestiffs 3 Day National Park Tour was one of the best experiences during our four week trip to North America! Especially because of our awesome guide Jon, who has a incredible knowledge. He told the group a lot of interesting stories ab..out his country and personal experiences. Even on longer bus rides it never got boring with him.
We loved the unique nature and spending time in the National Parks. The tour was organized very well.Though we only had three days, the time was filled with one of a kind experiences. In most of the parks we had two to three hours to discover the area by ourselves. The optional tour in Antelope Canyon was lead by a local guide and lasted about an hour. In Monument Valley a fun and informative Jeep-Tour with a local Navajo guide was included. After that we had a traditional dinner at a Navajo family's home which
was one of my favorite stops because we got a chance to see how some of the locals live.
During this tour my sister and I slept in a tent for the first time. I needed some time to get used to it (I slept better the second night :D) but it was totally worth it! The view from the campground in Monument Valley was just breathtaking! The supplied tents were spacious and easy to put up, the campgrounds and washing facilities were clean.
I can highly recommend this tour and wish I could do it again someday!

This trip was exceptionally great. One to put on your bucket list.
Mike, our guide was particularly professional in the way he communicated
with the group including 3 teenagers.
His manner was easy going yet he got all information across to.. us with any
silly jokes but yet was humorous. No loud shouting or load music.
Just perfect in my sons and my opinion.Read full review
I am happy to express my gratitude for the wonderful 3 day tour I did
with my two children (10 and 14). We had a great adventure through the most fascinating
National Parks.
Our tour guide, Evan, was amazing. He has an incredible knowledge ..of history, geography and
he made the driving parts interesting and fun.
The whole organization was perfect. Driving, stops, picnics, time at the parks.... We were a
group of 12 and Evan made us all feel comfortable and welcome. He was always helpful, polite,
kind even after a long and tiring day.
The camping was great, the equipment perfectly fine, in good condition.
Thank you, Evan for creating a memorable and beautiful experience.Read full review
