Bindlestiff has planned the tours very well indeed and have packed a lot in. We did the three day tour of Grand Canyon, monument valley, Zion, Bryce Canyon and Antelope Canyon. The sights were extraordinary, safety was never in doubt, the g..uide was knowledgeable. It remains a solid option for travellers . Some feedback is herein: 1. Tour Guide - Spencer was very knowledgable, and clearly loves his job. However, he was not terribly approachable for the both of us - I do think the fact that we were from a dissimilar culture, being Indians, played some part in that. I think that’s a bit sad. 2. Planning - In planning the trip, I believe additional time needs to be allotted for Zion and Grand canyon - maybe the company needs to leave a bit earlier during rush season so as to ensure adequate time in Zion. It was a bit of a drag to not be able to do much of anything there. 2. Camping - in Bryce it was really really bad - the temperature was freezing and we had not been warned in advance - no one had the right clothing for it. My husband became a bit unwell and I didn’t sleep a wink. On the other hand, camping in monument valley was amazing - among the most beautiful sunsets and sunrise we have ever seen and right in front of the monument valley. 2.

Time allocation - This was the most important aspect of the trip and I am sure it’s hard for the guides and the company. However, there were some clear errors which do need to be corrected. In Grand Canyon, we were simply not given enough time to complete the two hikes recommended by the tour guide — and for no reason! Even if the time is extended by 2 hours, we would have gotten into Las Vegas in time. In my case the travellers split into two groups , one group, which was able to approach the guide with far greater ease was able to ask for an extension and finish the full two hikes but only by taking 1.5 hours more than the allocated time. My husband and I didn’t feel comfortable reaching out to Spencer and felt the need to get back as soon as possible and were just waiting around for an hour, twiddling our thumbs. I think Bindlestiff needs to recognise that it’s international clientele will never go back to these sights . There were sights I dearly wanted to see with my husband and I never will. That is genuinely very frustrating. 4. Miscellaneous - i wanted to add Spencer did drop us to our hotel which was a few minutes away from the drop off point which was greatly appreciated after a long 3 days. And for two hikes in the trip we were about 20 minutes late each time, and he had no problem. It was a great trip because the sights were amazing, our tour group was truly wonderful filled with lovely people, and it was mostly well planned! Read full review
