What people love about USA Tours in October
- National Parks Tour 3 Days Small Group Tour from Las Vegas
Many vacation moments slip away from your memory, but I guarantee your experience with Bindlestiff will last a lifetime! My 12 year old daughter and I camped with them on a 3 day National Park sampler in June. My daughter was extremely unsure of this because it was our first camping experience--ever! Marie, our group's guide was extremely patient with us, and helpful in every way possible. We loved the itinerary, the pace of the stops at Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon, and will definitely be repeating with the longer itinerary. Little touches like the soundtracks that Marie chose to "score" the vistas along the road, asking the group's preference for sourcing meals etc., was really appreciated and made the trip feel personal. We also loved the wonderful additions including the optional Navajo Taco meal at Monument Valley and the Antelope Canyon hike. Neither should be missed if they are available! The only bad part of the trip was it ending just as our group was feeling really comfortable with one another and bonding. Fantastic experience, and an excellent way for this single Mom to do this kind of activity with her daughter and feel safe! Thanks to everyone at Bindlestiff, especially Marie! :)
- 7 Day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Camping Tour
Fantastic trip with great guide
- 7 day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Tour
Fabulous Tour for Families With Teens! This trip was a fabulous experience for both my son and me. We saw just about everything we would want to see in the Southwest in one week but despite the quick pace we never felt rushed. The hiking was truly memorable and the parks were stunning. Our wonderful guide, Jon Maret, was knowledgeable, funny and relaxed. He was extremely kind to my 15 year-old son and helped him with a photography project. In addition to all of Jon’s amusing stories about the region, I particularly enjoyed visiting the Navajo Nation and joining a local family for dinner. I'm a 56 year old woman who has never traveled as part of a tour, nor camped out. Needless to say, I was a little apprehensive about both of these things. Much to my delight, our group of 14 got along very well and camping was fun and easy. Several of the campgrounds we stayed in were lovely. The food was filling and tasty – quite an accomplishment considering Jon was cooking for 14 on a camp stove! For the price, this tour was a great value. My son is already looking forward to next summer when we’d like to visit the Rockies with Bindlestiff!
