First I'd like to compliment the driver who pick us up at the New York Hotel. Jay-she was such a pleasant and amazing driver.
The Grand Canyon is beautiful. Pictures can't even begin to describe what the eyes see. I really enjoyed the to..ur. I was able to get some great pictures. It was just long enoughRead full review
I recently came back from USA and I felt I had to share my experience with everyone.
After a lot of research in internet about which Company to use to travel from Vegas and see the Grand Canyon and the highlights around there, I am so hap..py I finally chose Bindlestiff tours.
My highlight of the trip was of course the helicopter flight over Grand Canyon, which was breathtaking. I would advice anyone to book the 55 mins flight in advance to avoid disappointment, for a bit more money than the 20 mins flight, you will be able to explore the Canyon best.
I was a bit disappointed about not being able to see Bryce national Park, but unfortunately this option is off during the winter.
Our guide, Mike, was very knowledgable , funny but professional and made the whole group bond. We started as 12 strangers and ended the tour as friends .The fact of being a small group made the interaction with each other very easy .
I felt this trip met my expectations if not exceeded them. this is a great choice if you don't have a lot of time to drive freely and you want to see the National Parks highlights around Vegas.
If you are looking and looking and you are not sure which Company you should go for, don't think anymore. Choose bindlestiff tours and it won't disappoint !Read full review

Generally Good. We enjoy it. The guide - Austin was a bit bossy though.
I did this tour in July 2014- it was the best tour company i have ever traveled with.
Great itinerary, Tetons and Yellowstone walks were amazing. Great and informative tour guide. Camping was fun and the stars at night were brilliant. All ..round a great experience i will travel with Bindlestiff Tours again and again- thank you!Read full review

I put 20 outta 10 to this adventure! The trip was awesome! Our leader Chris is an amazing guy, best I ever met for over 20 yeasr of travelling world-wide. Grand, Bryce, and of course Antilope canyon - you aint been to States till you got da.. taste of these crazy views. Envy to the ones planning the trip - and as for myself - I'll come back without a doubt! Again - Chris from the tour company really made our trip!Read full review
Our main reason for going to Las Vegas was visiting Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon and we were NOT disappointed on this tour at all. I MUST give praise to our tour guide Vern who is one of the most knowledgeable, funny and nicest peop..le you could possibly want to meet and made the tour even more memorable. During the summer months you start with Zion National Park and I was completely blown away by it!!! Didnt now what to expect with Zion, but outside of Monument Valley it was the highlight of the tour. From here you head to Bryce and the drive there was just stunning with different towns and scenery you drive through. Bryce itself was good but would only need one visit. From there it was to Lake Powell which has kind of been ruined by a coal burning energy facility there. There are three funnels sticking out like an eye sore in this beautiful place, although the company involved has been ordered to remove two of them apparently. From here you have two options, either Antelope Canyon or Horse Shoe Bend. Antelope Canyon has an extra charge and if I could go back and do the tour again, I would have chosen Horse Shoe Bend. Bit of advice as well with Antelope Canyon, if you are elderly or have health problems, DO NOT do this part of the tour as there is some steep climbs up and down ladders also some VERY tight walkways. From here it was on to Monument Valley and this for me was the highlight of the tour and was just incredible!!! Whether you go for the hotel or camping options you should still get to take plenty of photos of the sunset and sunrise. From here it was on to the Grand Canyon and again it is well worth the visit. A few nice surprises thrown in as well along the way on the tour and its well worth the money. Superb tour though and VERY recommended.Read full review
This trip was absolutely perfect across all dimensions.
Great itinerary:
The trip was just packed with great sights and landscapes (ideal if you have limited time). Although we covered around 2,000 km by car (we were told that usually t..he route is shorter but we needed to take a long detour on the first day as part of the highway on the original route was washed away by the flood), the trip did not feel as predominantly sitting in a vehicle. Stops were frequent and well spaced (longest interval was probably ~2h) and time at national parks sufficient to be completely awed (although you could easily spend many days in almost every single location we visited) and not to be rushed. Bryce was my personal #1 (despite the fact that I was not aware of its existence before the trip) followed by Antelope Canyon (this one is outside original itinerary and paid extra - you can skip it but it is extremely worth visiting). Monument Valley felt surreal and familiar (after watching it in multiple movies, my brain was apparently surprised to see it in real life). Grand Canyon is too big to be grasped in a single look. Visit at Zion is a nice stroll. Horseshoe Bend is so big that wide-angle camera would be probably very useful. A small town on the historic Route 66 was largely sleepy. Many areas that we crossed when sitting in a car looked like taken straight from a western movie.
Great narrative:
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about all places we visited and passed by. He presented a coherent picture of this vast area outlining geology, wildlife, history and culture of the region. He was also clearly emotionally attached to the area bringing stories about his personal experience related to places we visited. Listening to his stories was probably one of the key reasons why the route seemed much shorter than it actually was.

We loved every minute of the tour. Of course, the downside to it was we didn't have the time to enjoy everything in depth. But, there were so many upsides that we thought the tour was worth every penny spent. Thanks to our most knowledgeabl..e driver/guide/cook, she made the three days the best three days ever. We loved Antelope Canyon. The sunrise at Monument Valley was breathtaking. The optional stop in Seligman on Route 66 wrapped up the 3 days in the best possible way.Read full review
I never dreamed that a 3-day tour such as this could have been SO wonderful! It all started out and ended with the most pleasant, enjoyable, intelligent, warm-hearted, professional and knowledgeable tour guide (JD) who made every minute of ..each aspect of the three days a treat, and provided a sense of awe and wonderment for all of our National Park(s) moments. The organizational aspect of the vacation was second to none. It was wonderful meeting and getting to know eleven other 'tour-buddies' from all over the globe, each sharing their histories and personalities. I’ll return to Viator and especially the tour operators from Las Vegas again, but for an extended visit in the near future! As a photographer and vacationer, I highly recommend Bindlestiff Tours to any and all those who want to experience a jaw-dropping landscape adventure such as this in a short period of time. Rest assured, I and all my other travel mates were confidently handled with total professionalism and integrity by Bindlestiff Tours and the tour operator's staff , and the itineraries provided a packed 3-day agenda of visual and historic wonders. It’s too bad it had to end!Read full review
A wonderful experience and recommended without hesitation. Our very friendly and humorous Tour Leader JD from Bindlestiff Tours was very professional; his knowledge of the areas visited made it much more interesting. Our group had various n..ationalities and ages from 20- 60s+ which was a good mix.
The vehicles are not spacious and could be challenging if less mobile or unable to sit for long periods. It was a lot of miles to cover in the three days of the tour but breaks were frequent. Be prepared to change seats in the bus each day so everyone can have a chance to talk with others in the group while travelling and to take turns in the more comfy or window seats.
You are on a camping tour so don't be afraid to share in some of the meal preparation to help make it a more enjoyable holiday. As the token Aussie, I was nominated to help do the dinner BBQ in the campground which I enjoyed.
As a couple of very fit nearly 60 yr olds we still found the full Bryce Canyon loop hike a challenge so the full loop (about 45mins- 1 hr) is not for the faint hearted given the time constraints . But if you can do it, it is a magical hike.
Take the Antelope Canyon optional tour; you will not be disappointed! You need good mobility for the steep ladders and sometimes very narrow pathways and it is largely underground.
Watch the sunrise over Monument Valley; simply stunning.
If you can, take a helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon. It is an amazing site from the ground but from above it takes on a mind numbing perspective; unparalled beauty.
We travelled mid-October and while very warm in Las Vegas, evening and night time temperatures on the tour meant warm clothing was a necessity.
As others have said in their reviews, it is fast paced but gives you a once in a lifetime experience to see all of these attractions in a short amount of time; or a great taster to come back again and do it at a more leisurely pace. 10/10.

I was looking for tours online and saw Tours4Fun. It was easy to purchase online. In a few minutes I had the trip booked. I did make two calls to customer service: one in Vegas and another one in New York and they were friendly. Recently I ..had a helicopter trip that I took from Vegas to the Grand Canyon and a tour to the Niagara Falls that I took from New York. I liked it. Both trips were great. The customer service people were amazing and tourist guides were great. I will take more tours with them. My family and I had a very good time.Read full review
I booked a tour with Tours4Fun for a 3 day Grand Canyon West Rim and West Coast tour. The service I received from the representatives was excellent. They answered all of my questions and made me feel confident in taking this tour. This was ..my first time ever taking a tour and visiting the Grand Canyon so naturally I was nervous and not sure what to expect. The tour guide provided great service and also answered any additional questions I had while on tour. I would definitely recommend booking with Tours4Fun!Read full review
Taking this tour was one of the best experiences I have had! This was my first time visiting the Grand Canyon and was not sure what to expect. Our tour guide Frank made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Frank provided us with information.. at every sightseeing stop we made and made sure all of our questions were answered. When we arrive at the canyon we had 4 hours of free time to explore the canyon on our own. The food provided was delicious, not to mention we had an amazing view while we ate. We arrived back to the hotel with plenty of time to explore and sight see on our own. Having been to Las Vegas a number of times I am glad I still participated in the Las Vegas night tour. We visited Old Town Las Vegas and it was full of life and something I would have never seen if I were travelling alone. Overall, I had a great time and completely recommend this tour!Read full review
This is amazing value. Three days, two nights for just over $100 including 2 nights accommodation in a decent hotel. I recommend the $25 night tour of Las Vegas as it takes you to some iconic and amazing places.
The tour guide, Jimmy, was ..inclusive and funny and explained things well, both in Chinese and English. Yes, there were a lot of Chinese people on the bus but they were really nice. Sometimes a little slow to get back on the bus at the right time though.
The Grand Canyon was spectacular and going to the West rim we had less time on the bus and more time at the canyon which was amazing.
Five stars! Read full review
