First of all, we want to say a massive thank you to Aurora, who was just fantastic and amazing throughout the whole trip. When we go on other trips with you, we want Aurora!! By the way, we will write separately as we were truly moved by su..ch an excellent trip which was so memorable for us for many reasons. This trip formed the basis of our honeymoon - after an amazing wedding in Vegas, and with two friends, we weren't sure what to expect... Let me break it down...
The cost- initially, I thought this was quite pricey and didn't really know if we were going to get ripped off with a dodgy bus and seedy accommodation - but WOW - great AC bus, trailer for luggage and the accommodation was great. The tour was definitely worth the money, and as I said at the start - Aurora was the most attentive, kind, helpful tour guide we have ever experienced. Definitely 5-star value for money. The company - Kept us informed all through the booking process to the point of travel. Clear and concise instructions, and options to choose during the trip. Collected us and dropped us off as per timescales. Aurora was a great ambassador for Bindlestiff Tours, and couldn't do enough for us. We would definitely travel with Bindlestiff again (I like the look of the Canadian Rockys tour...) The trip - Day 1 we thought was amazing (Zion and Bryce Canyon) - until we got to Day 2, which was stunning and breathtaking - even better than Day 1 (Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon), we really didn't think Day 3 could top these two days... Guess what? IT DID! Grand Canyon was something else - all very different in their ways but so good. We were sad to be dropped off back to our hotel. Our other travellers were great fun to be with and did a separate helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon which they loved. Other things - Aurora made sure our cases were put in our room and the heating was on (it was chilly in Bryce!). She made sure we were fed and watered each day with lunches and dinners, and she even bought us a wedding cake (our first! - thank you) on Day 2. We also received a lovely postcard we we will cherish with fondness from Aurora. Seriously, this is the best trip we have been on and thank you so much to everyone who made it possible. We think you are all fab.

Had an amazing trip to Antelope Canyon with Walter! He was funny kind and knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend this trip. It’s a long day but worth it.
Joel & The Bindlestiff team put together a memorable, informative and most enjoyable 3 day tour of the canyons.
The time in the vehicle between the canyons and stops may have been long but Joel made sure we had enough rest stops to stretch.. our legs. He used the time in vehicle to share his wealth of knowledge and experience of the area and we felt it added significantly to the experience. It is alot of driving but completely worth it to see the spectacular sights.
The accommodations booked for each night were more than comfortable, with great amenities and close proximity to resturants for the evening meal. The staff at each hotel were friendly and happy to help in any way. (my son left a parcel at our 1st hotel and due to the distances we travel, we could not return to collect it, but the hotel made a plan and sent it to our final desitination before flying home).
The food was plenty and very tasty, the stand out lunch was definately the fry bread taco at Goulding's Stage Couch diner.
The itinerary was amazing and covered everything and so much more. The stop for lunch on day 1 in Seligman and the historic Route 66 was fantastic. Having conversations with the townfolk (super friendly) and walking the streets was very enjoyable and so many opportunities for photos. We did the optional Helicopter ride and would highly recommend it to give you a view of the Grand Canyon that is unparalleled. That 1st sight of the Grand Canyon takes your breath away. The sunrise on day 2 from the north rim of the Grand Canyon was emotional and breathtaking. As you drive with a guide through the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park later that day, you are transported back in time and Stephen our guide brought its history and people to life. Ending the day with sunset at Horshoe Bend gave me goosbumps and stunning photos, along with significant memories made. One of the highlights was walking through Antelope Canyon with our guide on the morning of day 3, it was mesmerising and we were awestruck by its beauty. The time spent in Zion National Park was exhilarating, we enjoyed lunch and then hiked to the Emerald Pools all the while enjoying the majestic mountains surrounding us. Photos do not fully capture the grandure and the majesty of Zion Canyon.
All the while, Joel is exoanding our knowledge and minds with information about all the places we visted or even just drove past.
I canot recommend this tour enough, if you can only choose one tour to do on your holiday, you have to do this one with Joel.Read full review
