One of the best trips I've ever done. The guide, Joel, was incredible. So friendly, funny and knowledgeable; very organised and hard-working behind the scenes. He even put our luggage in our hotel room while we were sightseeing. Our bus had.. 10 guests, and the 3 empty seats meant that it didn't seem crowded at all. The itinerary was excellent - we packed a lot in but it didn't seem rushed. My body was still on Eastern Time so I didn't mind leaving at 7am both mornings and it meant that we made the most of the daylight hours. My highlights were Bryce, Antelope, sunrise at Monument Valley (it was cloudy for sunset) and of course the Grand Canyon. I stayed on at the Grand Canyon on my own because I wanted more time there, and to see sunset and sunrise and I'm very glad I did. (Our bus had a mixture of campers and hotel lodgers, which was a shame in a way, because we were split up overnight.) I would definitely recommend it, and I hope to do at least one more of their toursRead full review
We had a couldn't be better guide Marie during our trip. She is a well-organized, considerate and efficient person. Although the weather was a challenge. We went through snow(freezing at mid-30') and heavy rain. But Marie managed to give us.. a memorable experience. Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon are the BEST.Read full review
100% A rapid winter tour of the SW parks and day trips out of LV
By: Anonymous | Fri May 10, 2019 at 12.00 AM
We were limited in time and wanted to see some of the great SW Parks. The 3 day trip was ideal as it started and finished in Las Vegas. There was a lot of driving to fit it all in but we did see all that we wanted.
We also went on two day ..trips out of LV - Death Valley and Ghost Towns. I enjoyed the Death Valley more that the ghost towns as the latter were so full of tourists and commercialized that they were not Ghostly at all.
They were well organised and professional. The guide (Joel) was excellent.Read full review
Amazing 3 days exploring beautiful national parks. Everything was really well organized and ran smoothly. The camp sites were really nice and a brand new vehicle! Our guide was super knowledgeable and always ready to help. Would recommend t..o all age groups and all levels of fitness as you can do as much or little hiking as you like!Read full review
Amazing 3 day trip! Antelope Canyon is a must do add on and the Navajo dinner was delicious. The camp grounds were better then expected and even had WIFI. Was pretty special to wake up and open out tent onto Monument Valley.
It was a fast-paced highlight tour allowing to see a lot of parks and canyons in a short amount of time! Waking up to a sunrise in the Monument Valley was priceless!
We covered a lot of wonderful sites and we all had such a great time. Our tour guide Evan was incredible, patient and dedicated. He explains the history, geology, etc of each places we visit making the trip even more enjoyable.
We opted for.. the camping option. It rained heavily the first night. After we were all in our tents, he walked around in the rain making sure that our tents were secured. Thanks Evan. Like we said when ended our tour... “We love you”.

The above summary says it all really. But beyond that, what made it particularly special was the exposure to Navajo guides and to Navajo hostess Sheila who welcomed us into her home and cooked for us.
Chris was a fantastic guide and an exc..ellent driver. Fantastic people skills.
Bryce, Antelope, Monument Valley, Grand......they are all amazing.
Strongly recommend

Amazing places and a very well structured and managed 3 days and the guide, Chris, was excellent: very capable, generous and informative. Also, the Navajo guides and hostess were great.
We had a fantastic time and would recommend it to anyone. Our guide Jon was extremely knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. We intend to come back next year.
Very nice tour with the highlights from the area. Great guide, great campsites - good mood in the group- also thanks to Alex our tour guide. A great experience, gladly again
First and foremost, I must say that this 3 day, 2 night 'guided tour' by Jon (No 'H' please), was hands down the best guided tour I have ever taken. I have traveled with my family all over the world, but never experienced anything like this... We flew in to Las Vegas from California and met friends from Boston who wanted to see the Grand Canyon. My friend was very reluctant to take a tour because in the past she had done so to the Hoover Dam and said it was a silver-haired boring experience. This one was a complete 180, and she can't stop talking about it. From the moment Jon picked us up, he was a complete professional and and a true gentleman. He helped everyone on with their bags, accommodated everyone on the chartered van, and always let us know where we would be going and when and where we would be stopping. In those three days and two nights, we saw way more than we possibly could have imagined. Jon was so efficient with the itinerary and made sure he took us to key spots to take it all in. We had just enough time at each spot to see what we wanted to. We saw Zion Park, Antelope Valley, the Horseshoe, Powell Lake, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley, a Navajo Reservation, and the Grand Canyon. In between stops, Jon became an entertainer with his great sense of humor and taught and informed us with a phd level of education from everything from Geology to Native American History to US History, etc. The tour was no less than fascinating. We traveled in a very comfortable van with 14 seats and met friends from Australia, Scotland, and Iran. The five of us were American. To maximize time, while we were visiting, Jon went out and bought great foods for us to make two picnic lunches that were awesome. He checked us in to two hotels that were awesome, and even brought us to the best Trading Post to buy authentic Souvenirs. Traveling with him made everything so much fun. We all laughed and shared information and stories. I came home with a book list and movie list of titles Jon referred to. I think it is incredible to have a guide that makes such a great traveling companion. I would do this tour over again in a heart beat, not only for the parks, but for the amazing tour guide. I'm guessing this company has all great guides, but I can't imagine one that would be better than Jon. This tour was well worth the cost. For the type of accommodations and information and guidance, I would have thought they would have charged three times. This was a world class travel experience that we will never forget, and we are already planning a second trip to Yellowstone. Way to go Jon! Way to go!Read full review
Fast tour of the area! See a heap and fit in lots! Jon was great at being flexible with weather and food! Very entertaining but be prepared to move quickly and have early mornings. Super organised!
