We chose the camping option and we are so glad we did. Tents were easy to set up and everyone helped with camp setup and take down. You just got to know everyone better sitting around the campfire , sharing stories. A few nights got rather ..cold and Marie was on top of getting us other sleeping options for our comfort. Tour bus was comfortable for the 13 of us and Marie was an exceptional driver especially with cargo trailer in tow. She was full of info for each spot we headed to . All destinations were beautiful and had the wow factor . You could choose the level or amount of hiking you wished to do and had more than enough time at each spot. Definitely some early mornings and very busy days so if your into sleeping in and lounging around maybe not the best choice for you. This is one of the best tours we've ever done and would recommend them to our friends. The destinations, our guide Marie and our 11 new friends made it a trip to rememberRead full review
This Lower Antelope Canyon trip is a wonderful tour in my life! It is worth the money! The tour price is great value for all the sights. Thank you for your service.
I did the 7 days Southwest Highlights trip (camping) back in early October 2019 and had the best time! I normally would just rate a company without leaving additional comments, but with them I almost feel urged to do so as the level of pers..onal attention, professionalism & overall fun during the tour really made the difference for me. I think it’s safe to say they are among the best, if not the best, excursion experiences I’ve ever had! Would definitely recommend them and will surely look them up again for a next trip to the US myself! Our guide, Marie, was all you’d expect in a tour guide, but unfortunately rarely get; enthusiastic, passionate about all the sights we’ve seen, she gave plenty of personal attention, she was part of the team and not ‘only’ a tour guide, she was respectful & told us lots of interesting stories & bits on all sights and things along the way. Whenever I had a question, she had an answer. Our tour being the last one before winter season, a cold front headed towards the camping sites in the last 2 days of our tour, and Marie felt more than responsible to upgrade us to hotel rooms & constantly checked on us and our needs. She arranged it and kept us constantly up to date on all developments, this is where she really made the difference for me. Camping grounds & services are of good level, most of them have complimentary Wi-Fi, plenty of charging points & good restroom facilities. The vehicle in which we made this trip was comfortable, has good air conditioning, several charging points for electronic devices, so we’d always arrive full of energy at the next destination. Based on each destination, a specific playlist was played on the radio to completely indulge you into the moment of seeing and experiencing a destination for the first time. To me, this showed eye for detail & helped in creating the best memories possible of all these places. The itinerary itself is simply great. A lot of things are covered in one week & leaves time for some relaxation, mostly in the evenings, as well. Multiple options for the day -varying on e.g. intensity of a hike, either hiking or visiting a town- are given as option to you upfront, so you can just go ahead and pick whichever you like most or plan a ‘day off’ from hiking if you’re in need of some rest. For me, my only (really minor) issue with the itinerary was that I really liked the delicious picnic style diner at Dead Horse Viewpoint, but it sort of had an overlap with Canyonlands the next day in terms of views on the scenery. Just Dead Horse Viewpoint would’ve been enough for me, but this is personal, and the next guy might completely disagree with me here. The rest of the itinerary is perfectly planned, and my best memories remain the carefully planned sunset moments – Every night, we were exactly at the right place when the sun was about to set. Great photo opportunities as well! Biggest highlights for me were Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park & Monument Valley. Especially the hike in Bryce Canyon is one of a kind! Thanks, ToursFun, for this wonderful experience. I just feel my Southwest USA experience, a bucket list trip for almost 30 years, would not have been the same when booked through another tour provider, and that’s exactly the feeling I hope to conclude any tour with.Read full review
Time efficient but not enough commentary and information from tour guide about the places we were going to see. We went through
A beautiful canyon with interesting rock formations that I was very curious about. Would have liked the option ..to do both canyon tours. Also, Guide has to remind guests to avoid the edge of the horseshoe bend lookout, stay on the trail, and pick up their trash. Basically more instruction on how to be respectful towards natureRead full review
Thanks for making this memorable trip possible! Antelope Canyon was spectacular! The excursion to Horseshoe bend was an added bonus and a beautiful sight as well. Driving a rental car to the reservation would have been exhausting and to..o ambitious for a day trip. Tours4fun enabled our family to enjoy the scenery together without the distraction and hassle of driving ourselves. The tour went exactly as described. We were contacted by our tour guide the evening before the tour. Our guide Henry was extremely engaging and knowledgeable. He responded promptly when contacted with questions and concerns prior to the trip. Our trip began on time and stayed on schedule throughout the day. The bus was comfortable and the large windows made it easier to enjoy the scenery. I would advise those taking the tour to bring along some cash for tips to the driver and guides . They worked hard to ensure we arrived safe and had an enjoyable experience. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

Transportation was on time and great customer service, on the return there was miscommunication with the shuttle van, but solved in a few minutes,Henry, tour guide has great knowledge and is very attentive. My only suggestion is on the onl..ine booking some fees to be paid after should be more explicit, we had to pay 90 dollars CASH per person on the bus, it could had been a problem if we did not carry all the money, the email with specific NON included fees info, arrived a couple of hours before departure time ( pick up was at 4:55 am in Las Vegas Bally's Hotel, where there is plenty of locations with no signal neither internet, we were actually sleeping when confirmation email arrived, on the other hand , the tour send a text about 12 h s before , with some of the info. Other than that we really enjoy the tour, beautiful breathtaking scenery.Read full review

Sicuramente i posti che abbiamo visitato erano tra i più belli al mondo, però abbiamo capitato come guida Freddy (o qualcosa del genere, un cinese di mezza età insomma) che ha reso l’esperienza poco piacevole. Non ha fatto altro che me..ttere ansia tutto il giorno e non lasciarci un attimo di respiro sull’autobus. Senza parlare della pretesa di avere una mancia pari a 10 dollari a testa, nonostante il suo servizio più che scadente. Rifarei lo stesso giro ma sicuramente con una compagnia differente.Read full review
I never write trip reviews but this trip was amazing. I did the camping version which was a lot of fun to be in the outdoors in this beautiful scenery. There were 13 of us from all different countries, and a wide age range, almost all solo ..travellers, and we got along great. Marie was a spectacular tour guide, knowledgeable, organized, and fun. I was expecting camping type food and was pleasantly surprised at how well we ate! The parks were incredible and varied in their terrain. Having done the research for visiting these areas on a tour, I can say that they offer the best itinerary and also at the lowest cost. Book with them, you’ll be glad you did!Read full review

The upper antelope and horseshoe bend tours were really good. Time management by the tour guide was also well done. Here are some suggestions to make our experience much better in the future tours:
1) Assign a tour guide who knows A LOT a..bout the destination and who is passionate about communicating/talking. The tour guide wasn’t a local and she spoke very little about Upper Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend (googling these places helped but there’s more to know I’m pretty certain). She also spoke mostly in Chinese and the driver was also yelling in Chinese (we didn’t understand so i had to ask our tour-mates who understood Chinese language).
2) The light lunch was very disappointing. I paid $9 for half a Subway that cost $6.50. Why didn’t you buy the meal pack which cost only $9.75 (and i wouldn’t mind paying $10 for it).
3) Good thing, bottled purified water was offered unlimitedly and we had chips for snacks (I don’t eat chips so i bought fresh fruit during the pit stop on the way back to Las Vegas).
4) Good thing, we were provided with face masks for the dusty ride to Antelope CYN. The other tour groups weren’t given face masks, must have been uncomfortable for them!
5) Although I said time management is good, I think it can still be improved. For example, I was told to be at the pickup point at 5:10 for a 5:20 take off. I arrived at 5:00 AM, the bus arrived at 5:15 and took off at 5:30. The waiting area was dark and not quite comfortable, it would have helped if the bus arrived and took off on time as scheduled. But, I understand these things do happen.Read full review
The tour itself was okay. However, the transportation was not. The bus was old & the ride was so uncomfortable. Come to find out, one of the tires was so bald that it needed to be replaced. So that delayed our ride home.
