100% 7 Day National Parks Private Tour with Rachel. Sensational Trip!!!
By: Anonymous | Mon Aug 20, 2018 at 12.00 AM
From the time we first contacted Rachel, right through to the very end of our
trip, we had such a personal, professional, friendly, informative and thoroughly enjoyable
experience. Rachel customised this tour based on what we wanted to see ..but made very
valuable suggestions re the split between camping and hotel options and the timing of the
activities and sights we saw on the trip. The end result was one of the most amazing touring
experiences our family (incl. kids aged 9 & 10) have ever had.
We enjoyed commentary of the areas we drove through, several stops off the beaten path that
we'd never have found or known about without Rachel's insight and even road games with the
kids as well as Smores by the campfire, which the kids loved.. Rachel's thoughtful attention to
detail in picking up passing comments and turning them into further opportunities to enhance
our holiday experience added another personal touch that we really appreciated. An example of
this was Rachel observing our interest in the 4th July decorations ready for the celebrations the
next day. A couple of phone calls later and we were able to stay on in Page, Arizona to join in
the fun.
The tour vehicle was roomy, comfortable and clean and the hotels we stayed at were all lovely,
well located with full amenities including a pool.
A few of our many memorable highlights on this tour include Rachel securing a prime camp spot
for our stay in Monument Valley, right in front of the monuments where we were able to see the
sunrise with unimpeded views, swimming in Lake Powell, guided Navajo tour through Antelope
Canyon, hiking below the rim into the Grand Canyon, a horse trail ride down into the floor of
Bryce Canyon, visiting Horseshoe Bend and the kids completing their Junior Ranger Programs
in Bryce and Grand Canyon National Parks.
Rachel's knowledge of the South-West is immense and it's easy to see she thoroughly enjoys
what she does. So proactive and enthusiastic, her energy was infectious making us eager to try
things we might not have thought of. We would thoroughly recommend it if you're
considering venturing to this part of the USA.Read full review
It was a great 7 days tour with Bradley as our guide! Brad was great! he is so helpful and
making sure each enjoyed the most of the trip :) all the destinations were a WOW for me, all are
in my bucket list and can't believe I could visit th..em all in one go! Make sure you drink A LOT of
water! but Brad always made sure we have enough water whenever we reach each stop, and
he would prepare enough ICE and WATER in our van :)) the campsites were all GOOD! with
toilets and showers, the monument valley campsite was definite the best campsite ever with that
VIEWWW~ and I got to meet so many nice people around the world in my tour, we got to hike
together in early morning, setting up camps and eat together in amazing places... definitely a
MUST DO if you would like to experience Utah! thank you Brad!Read full review
I joined three tours with this company, the death valley day tour, 7 day southwest highlights and 7 day yellowstone national park tour. Joel Clark was my tour guide on the death valley and 7 day southwest tour and Mike Brown on the 7 day ye..llowstone tour.
All three tours were amazing. I saw so much of the west coast and so many highlights including Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Zion and Bryce national park, Grand Teton, Yellowstone national park etc. Not to mention so many stories about the wild west. I chose the camping option on both 7 day tours and I really encourage choosing this option. You meet alot of people, you can learn how to setup camp if you never gone camping before, you get to be closer to nature and sometimes you can star gaze and possible see the Milky way (I saw it three days in a row).
Joel and Mike are one of the best tour guides I have ever met. They were professional, approachable and have a great personality.
Overall I really enjoyed all tours with Bindlestiff and I really recommend joining one of their tours especially if you are short on time.
You will definitely have fun and Bindlestiff tours will make your trip a memorable one.
Thank you Joel, Mike and Bindlestiff for making my USA trip a memorable one.
Hope to see you guys again in the future.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
Awesome. we had a great time. beware that it can be a physically demanding tour. there are a lot of hikes, and moderate at 8000 ft means strenuous at sea level. but it was just incomparable. I would definitely recommend this tour
I did both the 3 day National Parks and 7 day Yellowstone tours in September. I loved the Yellowstone tour, the scenery was amazing and our guide, Jen and made sure we got to see as much as possible. The highlights were Grand Teton national.. park, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and Mammoth Hot Springs. The national parks tour was also excellent, seeing the sunrise Monument Valley and exploring Antelope Canyon were the highlights on this one. I would definitely recommend both tours..Read full review

We (myself and my wife) went on this amazing tour for 7 days. We will cherish the memories of this trip for the rest of our lives. Although felt strenuous at some times, in the end, every stepturned out to be worth. As far as service is con..cerned, it was outstanding. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable explaining how Colorado-plaute was formed and how several nature's forces came together in shaping these wonderful canyons, arches, bridges and huddoes. Accommodations provided were excellent. Lunch sandwiches although tasted delicious to start with, by the end of seven days they started to feel boring. Overall trip was enjoyable and memorable,Read full review
