100% Best tour guide, Tony and Best bus driver, Mario
By: Hyangmi Sung | Wed Jul 12, 2017 at 02.09 AM
i've traveled with my two girls in June 2017. The tour guide, Tony was so considerate and well organized from day 1 of trip throughout the 7 days to try to all of travelers not to be in line as much as possible, to stop by any rest area f..or bathroom in every 2 ~ 3 hrs besides seat arrangement for my kids easily hop on and off the bus whenever we stop by for sightseeing.
In addition, the bus driver, Mario, he was the best driver we ever had among all other trips with tour 4 funs.
With these two best team crew, we had such a great time with my kids and we 'd like to say thank you again.Read full review
This was a great tour. Our tour guide was polite and funny. We were on an English and Chinese speaking tour. There were only 7 individuals on the tour total which was nice. Our tour guide would tell us what to expect and the best sights.. to see. It was hard to hear him over the air conditioner at times, but other than that there were no issues.
We first went to the Hoover Dam which was a 30 minute ride from our hotel on the vegas strip. You walk a bridge to see it. You do not actually go on the Hoover Dam. The next stop was the Grand Canyon which was 2 1/1 hour drive from the Dam. Our tour guide brought us to the bus stops and explained the map to us. We bought the package including lunch. You can eat lunch at any of the stops, but our guide recommended the last stop. Our lunch was a chicken breast, mashed potatoes, corn, a salad, cookie, and a water. It was delicious and filling.
Only downfall was waking up so early to make the bus for 5:30AM, but we were also expecting this. We slept on the bus there and back to make up for it. I would recommend this tour to anyone!Read full review
We were picked up at Las Vegas. My husband have to go up and down the elevator looking for the tour bus cuz the tour guide just say that the bus is outside. He did not specified that it is around the corner on the side of the parking lot. B..y the time we got in, another chaos cuz people are taking 2 seats putting their belongings beside it. Why does he not tell them that this is a full capacity bus and 1 seat per person ??
On this 7 days tour, I would say that our guide is lazy. He sleeps and play his video game all the way. Only giving a brief summary of the places. The pamphlets from the visitor centre give more details.
The tour should give customers an option of joining the excursion or at least inform them ahead of what is expected. This would be going down the Antelope Canyon. The waiting in line for at least 2 hrs in the 100F heat. Not good for people with medical condition.
The ski lift for sight/picture taking at Jackson. Me and my husband did not go cuz both of us do not feel comfortable sitting in the open air.
The long line up to the restroom takes away 10mins.Should make each stop at least 45mins instead of 30mins.
Expect waking up at 5:00 am each day.
Expect lunch or dinner at Chinese buffet.
I would give credit to the driver for his non stop driving and safety.
Lots of recommended sightseeing places. Joining the tour saves you time and the hassle of driving yourself .
Meeting and making new friends.
Overall, YES , I recommend joining the tour.Read full review
Ok one day trip. Bus condition could be better ( free WIFi missing, inside toilet could be unlocked and used in emergency situations). Also time spent at objectives could be extended.
Fantastic tour! We have travellled extensively and taken lots of tours and Bindlestiff Tours is by far the best tour we have taken to date! Pre tour info and communication was professional and prompt. The tour itslef was planned extremely w..ell in order to maximise our time in each park. The drives were informative, entertaiing and scenic thanks to our fabulous guide Rachel Frampton. I can't rate this compnay highly enough. We camped and everythgin was great- great campsites with amzing views from the Monument Valley campground of the sunrise. This tour is well priced and departures are guaranteed. Being a small group adventure- max 14 guests meant we had a really personalized and flexible tour. We all left the tour as close friend! Read full review
7 days National Park camping trip was wonderful. So many highlights during the trip that it is almost impossible to pick one. As you move ahead in the trip, Every national park will amaze you with its beauty. And to add to this, stories abo..ut every place by our guide Joel was the cherry on the top. There is driving involved almost every day but you will not get bored as Joel has lot of interesting facts and stories to share during the ride. Every day is very well planned and Joel definitely takes extra effort to make sure everyone is able to enjoy the place with appropriate pace. I was lucky to be part of an amazing group where we all quickly became friends and cared for each other. Though I joined as solo traveler, ended the trip with few new friends. And yes campsite at Monument Valley has direct view of Sunrise over the valley. Hence, chose the location for your tent wisely to enjoy the best sunrise from front porch of your tent. If you are looking for exploring Southwest, I would definitely recommend this tour and Bindlestiff. Everything is well planned and taken care of. Just go ahead, book the trip and enjoy Southwest.Read full review
We took the lodging option which as 70+ year olds was ideal and we didn't miss out on the activities of the camping group but were much more comfortable! Our guide, Jon, was helpful, efficient and knowledgable and he had some great anecdote..s which gave us a real feel of life in the Wild West of Utah. Don't miss out Antelope canyon - sensational photo opportunities with excellent guide although the 45 minute wait in a temp. of 100' F was challenging for us Brits. Each place visited was special with its own unique character. We loved the hikes recommended by John at each site. We were a mixed group of ages and nationalities but we all got on well and it suited our liking of a small group tour.Read full review
