The trip should have made 2 years ago. Because of Covid 19, my dream has finally come true in June this year. West National Parks is my dreamed destination. With the direction of our tour leader, Treviso, he makes the trip fascinated and sa..fe. The trip is quite ambitious in order to cover the wide territories and many scenic points within a short period of time. It is a bit demanding to the aged people, especially under this hot weather. I should also be grateful to have this group of travelling companions. People are helpful and well respected . We are always on time and efficient without any delay in schedule. Bindlestiff's arrangement is smooth and satisfaction in quality. I wish they could explore more travel destinations to enrich my dream world.Read full review
First real family vacation since covidand it made up for the summers spent at home! We covered so much ground during these 3 amazing days! We were on the move early each day and kept going without feeling rushed, we already knew the itinera..ry before we booked it. Paul our tour guide was phenomenal, he has the whole trip nailed down to every detail including meal times, bathroom stops, photo ops, very important for social media posts. He was very knowledgeable with the places we visitedand included small tips on how to maximize our experience during the times he could not be with us.He is passionate about his roleand feels pride in showing us these beautiful places! Love the small group we were with, met some folks from Australiaand England which was such a treat. Would highly recommend this company, very professional, from the online questions to the efficient tour guide, all our concerns were addressed. Will return for another tour soon! Well done Bindlestiff!!!Read full review
Fantastic tour, which I recommend. Lorenzo is not only an excellent guide but also a friendly, kind person, always with a smile on his face and hearing her explain is like reliving those historical moments. He is also a very good photograph..er and gave us numerous tips on where to dine. And what about the driver Tom, he amused us with his anecdotes. The tour left us speechless!!!Read full review

Very satisfied with the sites we saw. The organization of Bindlestiff and the Tour Escort was phenomenal! The advertisement of the tour was consistent with the itinerary. I will definitely book a tour with Bindlestiff again.

We did a 7 day tour to Yellowstone from Las Vegas and a 4 day tour from Las Vegas to San Fran via Yosemite and they were both fantastic! Very good value for money and our tour guides were also really good and friendly. They were so helpful ..and knowledgeable on everything we were doing. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be booking more tours!Read full review
We looked a plenty of beautiful scenary.It surprised me.I thought it was worthy to go.In paricular, we had a nice and organised guide. We had a good time.
For an exceptional experience in a part of the USA we had never seen before; Bindlestiff Tours met or exceeded our expectations on all counts. Our escort/host/driver Treviso pulled it all together with a relaxed professionalism that put us ..at ease from the moment he pulled-up at the meeting place in Las Vegas.
The first week we were part of a group of 14 travellers from Europe, the UK, North America and Oceana ranging in age from 14 to 74 years; half camping and the others, like us, overnighting in hotels and lodges. The final 4 days from Las Vegas to San Francisco, there were only three of us, plus Treviso, making for a very personalized travel experience. We had been apprehensive about the "3 star"; hotel promise but all accommodations were more than satisfactory with many including good to great breakfasts. Picnic lunches on the tour were generous and wholesome offering good variety [always lots of fruit]. Pizza-night overlooking the Grand Canyon [after a brief thunderstorm] was spectacular while Treviso made good recommendations for those nights when dinner was not included.
Bindlestiff tours are not guided national park tours. In the large parks, we were driven to the interpretive
centre where maps and guides were presented so we could choose what to do; hikes from a few minutes to 4-5 hours, as easy or challenging, as we wished. Park Service free shuttle buses were available to get us to trailheads where Bindlestiff could not take us directly to the starting points.
This was not an arm-chair tour. A good level of fitness was required to fully participate, especially as the
hot weather conditions [most days at least 10°F above average] did not make things easier. This was
entirely outside Bindlestiff's control as were the frequently poor-quality trail markings and maps provided
by the Parks Service but we never feared getting lost or left-behind. When it was >110° in Death Valley
the life-saving comfort of the van was close.
The sole unfortunate experience was our escort's response to a tour member's complaint against a 3rd-party tour guide [and immediate filing, we were told, of a report to "head office"]. A quiet side-conversation with other participants would have revealed the complaint probably was based more upon sub-conscious racist and cultural differences than reality. It would be sad if our Native American guide were denied future opportunities because of an unfounded grievance and acceptance by Bindlestiff of the notion 'the customer is always right'. It's not just on Navaho Land that tourists should adhere to the directions of their local guide and I hope that our escort will gain patience that there is often more than one side to a complaint.
Our final-day tour of San Francisco was enhanced by access to spectacular vistas that would not have been possible with the larger passenger van and trailer. The 2-year wait through the pandemic [our tour had been purchased originally for 2020] had been overwritten by 11 days of new friendships and memories to be held close for years to come.Read full review
