West Coast USA Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Wild West
Its was a very good trip. Our guide pasquale was awesome and had good knowledge about every place that we visited. He made the trip more entertaining. The only problem was the accommodation in stevenson ranch which was not good as it was a motel and was very old. Also they didnt include california cost line which was mentioned in the trip.
- Yosemite Escape Camping - 3 Days
Great Trip! Well organized. The tour guide was awesome
- 4 Day Death Valley Yosemite San Francisco Camping
The tour was so spectacular, well-organized and run by a professional guide. Just relax and enjoy your vacation with Bindlestiff. Thank you very much for such a wonderful time in all the incredible destinations.
