I took the 3-day tour to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon.
Mike, our tour guide, was great. Everything was very well organized and he was helpful with all we needed.
All sceneries were breathtaking, s..pecially the sunset in Bryce Canyon and the sunrise in Monument Valley.
I highly recommend.Read full review
Awesome time with my girlfriend and mother. Jenn is a very experience and hardworking tour guide. Everything we experienced was amazing. My mother made sure she took a card from Jennie so that she can be sure to book another trip in the nea..r future soon. This was much more than just a sightseeing tour. We learned a lot about history, culture, geology and much more. This tour was educational as well as entertaining. By day two of the trip, we felt like we were on a road trip amongst friends and I think that was the design of the tour.Read full review
From the moment Mike picked us up (in plenty of time to load up ) from the moment he dropped us off we had the most amazing adventure.This company really knows its stuff.You needn't worry about anything as everything is planned with precisi..on and delivered with expertise.Mike's commentaries were illuminating and delivered in a lovely easy listening style with lots of stories along the way but all pitched perfectly. We had 12 travellers,I think the bus can hold 14 and we were comfy (some people swapped around the front seat to stretch their legs but we were fine at the back) MIke made plenty of comfort stops very welcome to us aged adventurers. On that note (being pensioners)we coped very well with the camping (with some assitance where needed) and the walks that Mike recommended for us were appropriate while the youngsters set off on more challenging trecks.(the lodges we saw also looked very nice but we were pleased we camped) The variety of scenery on this tour is mind boggling.All the Diné guides (they don't like the term Navajo) were beautiful people who shared so much (even an oil skin coat for my knees when we had a downpour returning from Monument Valley) We will never forget this experience. Our helicopter flight in the Grand Canyon was cancelled due to bad weather in the west but a refund appeared promptly and we still had a great day.If you are thinking of taking this trip from Vegas please don't hesitate it will be the trip of a lifetime !!Read full review
The most outstanding sites in 3 days from Las Vegas: Zion, Bryce Canyon, view Lake Powell, Antelope (optional, but well worth to visit), Monument Valley and Grand Canyon (south rim). Excellent organization with well established journeys of ..up to 2 hours, alternating with visits/free time on sites with tips to make the most of walks to do. We opted for the hotels version: first night in a hotel room with new part comfort 3/4 stars. Second night Goulding's Historic Lodge-room with a private balcony and view of Monument Valley to witness the fabulous sunrise !!! A picture engraved in living memory. A really good choice Do not hesitate to pay the little extra for the two dinners offered (a bbq and a Navajo meal). My English is limited, I have not fully appreciated the comments of our driver / guide, Jake, but this one was very knowledgeable, friendly, and seemed to share with us the pleasure of discovery. Would recommend if you have time. AMAZING!Read full review

The trip met our expectations. If you want to see the scenery without having to drive or make any travel arrangements, this is the best option. The accommodations were not 5 star but were clean and comfortable. The tour guide Frank and t..he bus driver Pam were exceptional. We always knew the agenda and they worked hard to let us see all we could in the time available. If you select this tour, be prepared to encounter a number of different ethnic backgrounds and the different behaviors they exhibit. We put our feelings on the back burner and did not let this issue mar the tour in anyway.Read full review
"This is without a doubt the best tour I have ever been on. Our guide Joe was great, he was chatty, it wasn't ever awkward and he was really knowledgeable about the places we were visiting. He was able to advise us on any questions we had a..nd was very approachable. This is a jam-packed trip and suitable if you're limited for time. You spend a couple of hours at each national park so look at the 7 day version of this trip they offer if you would rather have longer at all the places. We were only in the states for a week so this was perfect. We started with a pick-up point outside the back of the Stratosphere Hotel - which is good as it means you don't have to spend time picking up every traveller from their individual hotels. There were 12 of us is in our mini van and a nice variety of nationalities. You spend nearly all your time with everyone so the social side is a huge bonus. We set out to Zion National park - which is breathtaking. You can hike to see the Emerald Pools on this trip. It's worth noting you don't have a guide for all the parts of the tour - but you're provided with maps and advice regarding the best routes. This is perfect for us as sometimes we wanted time alone to explore. You can obviously choose these parts to do solo or with the other travellers in your group. We then went to Bryce canon from here which was again stunning. The landscapes just get increasingly more and more beautiful. The highlight for me was camping on the rim in Monument Valley. You are literally facing the beautiful landscape that is nostalgic for Wild West fans. The campsites are really cosy - all essential camping gear is provided, you are helped with setting up the camp and there is access to good quality showers and bathrooms. The main site even has wifi which is luxury. Obviously the Grand Canyon is another amazing aspect of this trip. The minivans are air-conditioned and have a couple of USB charge points. There are also lots of souvenir shops along route. Another highlight was travelling on route 66 and stopping at a local café for shakes. You pay a bit extra for evening meals ($50ish incl. the trip to Antelope), but they're all tasty and there is loads to go around.
All in all I can't emphasise how great this trip is, especially if you are only in the States for a short amount of time or haven't visited these locations before. I'd have been comfortable on this trip if I was a solo traveller as well (as there were a few in our group) as everyone is friendly and there are plenty of opportunities for social activity, such as s'mores around the campfire."Read full review
Overall, the tour was good. I wish we could have arrive at Idaho Falls earlier so we could spend more time there on our first day. Given the time constraints and so many sights to see, I am content about the trip.
If you like the contrast between majestic mountains and the barren red rocks, this is a must-see tour. In a short duration of 6 days and 5 nights, the tour takes you through five of America's most beautiful mountain states from Colorado to ..South Dakota, to Wyoming, to Dakota, to Utah, and back to Colorado. You will visit the men-made wonder of Mount Rushmore and the nature spectacular of Devil's Tower. You will be exposed to the mystical geothermal activities of Yellowstone and majestic Grand Teton Mountain range. Finally you will see the unforgettable red rock arches contrasting with the seemingly barren Great Salt Lake. in addition to these major attractions, the various side trips to Dever's Red Rock Amphitheater, Jackson Hole, the international skiing village of Vail, and the Rocky Mountain high point of Johnson Tunnel, are experiences that you will not easily forget.- and most importantly, all these at a very reasonable price.
The accommodation were not luxurious but comfortable. The bilingual (English & Chinese) tour guide was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and the driver was skillful and safety conscious. The coach bus was new and comfortable. Unfortunately there were a couple seats whose reclining mechanism of which did not work properly. Having to sit in that position for an extended period of time made it rather uncomfortable. Hopefully they will be repaired soon. Also, the back of each seat does not provide a "pocket" for passenger to put things in it - seems to be a design oversight.
Overall, I would say this tour is great value for any nature lovers who want to enjoy the best of what America's mountain states have to offer on a budget that will not break ones bank accounts, and yet at a reasonably comfortable mode of transportation and accommodation. I would recommend this highly.Read full review
100% Eye popping tour of the Canyons and Monument Valley!

The three day Zion/Bryce/Antelope/Grand Canyon tour with an overnight in Monument Valley is not only huge on "wow" but really well organised. Great (and copious) commentary from our driver. So much packed in to three days. Was a real highli..ght of our time in the Southwest and blessed relief from the profligacy of Las Vegas.Read full review
Unfortunately third person has to cancel. Would have appreciated if i got it waived, cause there are many seats available for the tour and no inconvenience caused for anyone.
Highly recommended tour. We were hesitant thinking it was more targeted at low budget travellers but we'd been staying in 4-5 star hotels and still found this a comfortable trip. We chose the lodging option. The best parts are - great itine..rary seeing the absolute highlights of the area in the three days; good hikes that most people would be able to do; comfortable vehicle and small group; well organised and professional; great tour guide; everything made easy; quite independent if you choose. The 50 minute helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon is an absolute must. The Antelope Canyon option is definitely worth it. Justin was a great tour guide - calm, accountable, professional, deeply knowledgable, caring and accommodating. This tour is incredible value for money. We would not have changed one thing.Read full review
