We had a great time!!! I gave the accommodations a 4 star rating BECAUSE our stay in Sheridan. At the hotel was a little ...um.....as our tour guide decribed...simple....room was very dated but it was clean...my bed was lopsided...but we we..re tired and went to bed. But I will tell you this..we came home super inspired and we still are awe struck on the things we saw and experienced. The tour is spoken in both English and Mandarin...no big deal...all the other hotel stays were very nice! Just relax...enjoy the simple things and have fun!Read full review

While it was a demanding itinerary, it was well worth it.I got my money's worth and left the driving to someone else. I would recommend this tour to friends and family. When I'm ready to visit the Grand Canyon and the N.P. of Utah, Tours4..Fun will be my go to site.Read full review
We got to see more that we would have if going on out own. Will probably not do a tour like this again. It was a little crazy (fast) to be in all those places. For what it was, it was planned out good. The mixed dynamics of this group was a.. bit wonky. The tour guide Alan was good. He tended to ramble on a bit especially in Chinese. We understand that each culture is different but some were very rude and he did not seem to mention this to them. (granted there were 50 on the bus and only 9 of us were not Asian). Rich was a wonderful driver.Read full review
Tour guide, Diana, was courteous, helpful and very nice. Her introduction and description of each phase of tour was clear and excellent both in Mandarin and English. She resolved the issues quickly and effectively and were always on top of ..them.Read full review
We had a wonderful time on our tour, and I would recommend highly! Our only complaint was that the bathroom in the bus was out of order, but our driver and tour guide made this work by stopping frequently for bathroom stops. I would recom..mend this trip without reservation!Read full review
I just completed my 2nd Bindlestiff Tour and it was just as amazing as the first! This company is top notch. They are there for you from the moment you book until the sad time that the tour ends. The Bindlestiff Tours customer service team ..are amazing- they answer emails extremely quickly and answer all your questions before the tour so you know exactly what to expect.Both Bindlestiff Guides I have had have been great- full of knowledge, enthusiasm and are a constant source interesting facts and stories. The touring vehicles are super comfy and on both my tours brand new, the same as the gear- again top notch high quality making camping extremely comfortable. As for this tour itself, its expertly planned and executed to allow maximum time and enjoyment in the parks. We saw so much more than we expected and had tons of time to explore each park with some fabulous walks in each. Meals were great- healthy, plentiful and they cater for all kinds of diets! I can't say enough about this company and the high standard of tours- I am already planning to join their new Bindlestiff Tours Western Canadian Rockies tour in 2018. Thanks again!Read full review

The tour was generally well guided and organised. It would be considered to be well worth the money, however, exclusion of Arches National Park in the 6 days package tour is a major let down.
The tour itself is great, you visit a lot of places in a short space of time. The locations we visited were all fantastic, and it was amazing how many incredible things we saw in just 6 days. Diana is a knowledgeable guide, and very friendl..y and chatty. Keith is a great driver. We were in good hands with both of them.
However, we felt that the tours were very much organised for Chinese travellers, especially when it came to meal breaks where if there was a Chinese buffet it didn't much matter what other choices were available - and often they weren't great. On a couple of occasions it felt like we drove a considerable distance just to find Chinese food, and funnily enough many of the Chinese travellers went off to find pizza!
The hotels we stayed in were of a mixed standard. The first 3 were lovely, we were warned about the one in Yellowstone West, and it was as bad as Diana said. The one in Salt Lake City, was also fairly seedy, although the location was good. Some of the places we stayed were well off the tour route and we found ourselves backtracking miles!
Another couple of niggles were that we were not offered the option of completing the round trip back to Denver, which all the Chinese travellers seemed to know about, but the English speakers didn't. We would have taken that option had it been offered! Flights back from SLC were expensive. And I enquired about staying another night at the hotel in SLC, but was told it wasn't possible. Interestingly the hotel was not that busy and it probably would have been possible. I got the impression that nobody was interested in organising it.
This tour is considerably cheaper than the only other one taking in similar sights and I guess you get what you pay for. I would certainly recommend it, with warnings about the issues I've outlined. It was a great way of covering a lot of ground, seeing a lot of sights, and not having to do the long drives myself.Read full review
The tour was awesome. It was the best experience of my life. However , I feel we could have spent more time in some places. Half an hour sometimes felt very little. But I would definitely do it again and recommend it.
Out of all other tours experience, this is the best so far, Ms.Rebecca=excellent tour guide, Mr.Keith=really friendly driver, nice & clean bus. company hired excellent crew.
