I joined the tour during my Spring Break. The bus pick up was on time, at around 6:40 AM I was picked up from Circus Circus and we headed out of Las Vegas. We drove for about 4-5 hours to Page, Arizona where the Antelope Canyon was located... I joined the Lower Antelope Canyon Tour. There were 4 of us signed up for the Lower Antelope Canyon tour while the rest of the group joined the Upper Antelope Canyon Tour. Once we got there, we had to wait for about 15-20 minutes for our Navajo tour guides. We descended a total of 6 staircases. The sight was so beautiful! The Navajo tour guides illustrated how wind and water erosion created this slot canyon. They also taught us where and how to take photos in the Canyon. We then headed for lunch, and continued to Glen Canyon where the Horseshoe Bend was located. It was an easy hike uphill and towards the overlook. This was spring time and I think the perfect weather for visiting as the sun was up highlighting the different hues from the overlook, but not too hot. Both our tour guide and driver were friendly and accommodating. Our tour guide, Vincent, was flexible and contacted us promptly. He also spoke in both English/Chinese to accommodate all guests. The only downside was the bus doesn't have its own restroom, but we stopped at gasoline shops for snacks and restroom every after two hours... We got back to Vegas around 8:30 PM. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I traveled solo, and made new friends with some fellow passengers.Read full review
There was not even a trash can on the bus for 3-4 hours+ bus ride. The bus was dirty, Antelope Canyon is beautiful and is a great tour. The stops should be better planned with better facilities and wider options.
We took the 3 day Natl Park Tour (hotel in March) tour. Rachel was our guide. She was incredibly competent, knowledgeable, accommodating, and prompt. Our van was full and by the end of the first day we were acquaintances with everyone. The ..sites were stunning and she was always looking out for the safety of her guests. Early morning breakfast (0530) at to watch the sunrise on the Grand Canyon was stunning. Antelope Canyon was my second favorite!! Viewing Horseshoe bend, Zion, Monument Valley, Lake Powell and a glimpse of the Hoover Dam were incredible. The days flew by. We had such a great time with Bindlestiff that we booked another 1 Day tour while in Vegas to see Death Valley. The guide( a local Iowan) was fabulous as well. We are looking ahead to see when we can hop on another Bindlestiff Tour, perhaps Canada next! So glad you've expanded there as well. As guided tours go it is one of (if not thee) best value there is coming out of Las Vegas.Read full review
The van is a bit tight. Pick up location is limited. Need to go to destinated pick up location early in the morning. No stop at some pass by sightseeing points.

I loved the experience! It seemed weird in the beginning because there was just me in the middle of the "Chinese excursion" hehehe, but they were all great to me, no complains.
The views are amazing, ANTELOPE is sexy, romantic, magic...d..ivine..it will be in my mind and heart forever... it has spell :)
HORSESHOE is a mysterious place, lovely view, must go.
Each dollar worth the experience, it is a long ride, so be prepared: have charged battery for cel phone (there's no chargers at the bus) and some sweets to get energy.
The lunch box was offered at the moment you buy the tickets should be removed of the tour pack, because they are not good and it is suppose to be like neutral food not local...and restaurantes in the middle of the way are cheap, good, fresh and its a good moment to interact with your travellers ;)Read full review
Great tour as a first time slot canyon visit. Upper Antelope Canyon is fantastic. Our Navajo guide was incredible and very helpful with photos. Only complaint at the canyon is the porta potty were so bad I could not use them. If you can wai..t until the lunch stop or Horseshoed bend do so. Our tour bus was comfortable and clean. I was happy there were no on board toilets so no smells. We stopped every 2 hours or so for a restroom break. I would go again.Read full review

"An absolutely wonderfully organized trip to the most beautiful regions of this part of the world. Our driver and guide Mike will take care of everything and everyone. Our family of four (including 2 children - 6 and 8 years) had a wonderfu..l experience. We would never have seen so much in such a short time.?

This three-day trip was fantastic. The scenery was awesome and our guide, Mike talked interestingly about the landscape and the cultures of the societies there. It was a well-organised tour.
Our tour guide was Mike. Mike was very nice, funny and considered guide. We visited Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Monument Valley on Navajo Reservation and Zion. The accommodations during the stays were great. Mike would re..commend places for dinner and they were excellent. The sights were wonderful. I had a great time. I would definitely do this trip again or any other ones, which are offered by Bindlestiff tours.Read full review
From start to finish, this tour was memorable for all the right reasons. The tour is incredibly well organised. Our tour guides, Jennie and Evan, were knowledgeable, clear on meeting times & their expectations, helpful and generous. They ap..proached each day with enthusiasm, never hesitating to answer our questions about national sites, geology, culture, weather forecast for the day and the days ahead so we were always adequately dressed and topping us up with water throughout the day while also sharing anecdotes of their experiences. Notes for the tour: - On most days (especially if you are camping) you will need to get up early (~6.30am). However, this is just so we can cover the distance to get to locations before major tour buses do (completely worth it) and you can catch up on sleep while on the drive. - At every destination there are activities which can range in intensity. It is your choice on what kind of climbs/walks you'd like to do so this is great for all ages. Our tour guide provided us with the information needed to choose the appropriate walk such as altitude, distance and time. - Catered lunches are usually sandwiches with cold meats and condiments. - Pit stops occur every 2-2.5hrs and is usually at a gas station. This provides you with time to grab a coffee, snack and anything else you may need. Our tour guide informed us of which stops had the best toilet facilities. - As I chose the lodging facilities, I would rate them between 3.5-4 stars. Each facility had warm showers, comfortable beds & heaters. There were also facilities to buy snacks, souvenirs and dinner within the hotel complex. - I would highly recommend doing the Antelope Canyon & traditional Najavo dinner as they are inexpensive but was by far for majority of the tour participants - Definitely bring a backpack containing a water bottle, sunscreen, wind jacket (as it gets very cold and windy at times), sneakers, jumper & clothes you can comfortably walk in if you intend on going on more arduous walks such as activewear. Thanks to Jennie and Evan for such a great time! I would definitely return to tours4fun the next time I am looking for a tour.Read full review
My wife and I did that Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend day tour. The reservation and pickup process was great but the shuttle ride was far too uncomfortable to be sitting in for 10 hours. The seats make airplane seats seem like a luxur..y recliner. I can't stress how uncomfortable the seats are: the seats do not recline, have very little and hard padding, and have a very uncomfortable seat belt. You almost have to try to it understand how miserable we were.
As for the destination, we really liked Horseshoe Bend but I was somewhat disappointed in Upper Antelope Canyon. The pictures you see online are not what it really looks like, they tell you when you get there to use certain types of filters to make your pictures look that way. Also, the whole tour was just about how to get pretty photos. I would have preferred to have learned a bit about the place but I guess that's what you get in this social media age.
Overall, the people and process through tours4fun was great, it was just the destination and comfort that were disappointing.Read full review
