Our 7 Day National Parks tour was jam packed with beautiful scenes and iconic picturesque sites. We learned much more than expected from our expert guides, Treviso and Chris. Bryce Canyon was our favorite for color and formation. The Grand Canyon and Yosemite were all we imagined. Antelope Canyon was colorful and fascinating. Monument Valley, Death Valley, and Zion we enjoyed and learned many new facts along the way. The end of our tour with San Francisco city tour was very enjoyable and informative. Our tour guides were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable and did a great job. We had great traveling companions and made many new friends. We chose the lodging option and the hotels / lodges were clean and comfortable - not luxury but to be expected on this type of trip. Somewhat negative was at a couple of parks the walks - hikes were strenuous for seniors and we were not fully informed to that fact. Included lunches left a bit to be desired. All in All - we can say it was a trip of a lifetime and we enjoyed the tour, our guides, and friendly travelling companions. K & K from North Carolina

This was a great tour. Loved that it started in Las Vegas and ended in San Francisco. This tour visits so many national parks, Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Death Valley and Yosemite as well as San Francisco and Las Vegas. It's a busy tour with highlights every day. Its fast paced and fabulous! Our tour guide Jill was amazing, really knowledgable and fun. This company has great customer service and I felt really good booking with them. We did the hotel version but the campgrounds looked great and the campers were happy too. I highly recommend Bindlestiff Tours. I will be back for more!

My husband and I recently returned from a 7 day tour of national parks. From booking to tours end we were very impressed with the level of professionalism and attention to detail. Cindy gave us suggestions that proved invaluable and she was a pleasure to work with. Our guide Joe was informative as well as kind and thoughtful. Thank you Becky for putting together a great staff! This is the first time my husband and I have used a tour group in our travels and we give the organization high marks. We recommend Bindlestiff Tours and encourage others to check them out!
