I went with two friends to visit Yosemite, we chose the option of two days with no accommodation (plenty of options, just make sure they are by the YARTS route) since we wanted more time to explore the trails, and we'd definitely recommend ..that or longer. The organisation and journeys were smooth. In particular, both our drivers, Mike and Denise, were very professional, lovely and helpful during the trip. Mike explained a lot about the history of the Park and the area on the journey there, and suggested nice hikes according to time and skill, and on the way back Denise went out of her way to help us see the best views and appreciate the Park and the experience even more, and to make sure that everyone got home safely even if they were not staying precisely at the planned drop-off points. Overall a really enjoyable experience and a great way to discover Yosemite if you can't or don't want to drive.Read full review
It was an incredible 3-day Wild West trip! Our guide Joel was amazing! As it’s now still winter season, there were only two tourists (including me). He took us a couple of spots which were not listed in the itinerary. Absolutely great tri..p. He was also super knowledgeable, told us all those interesting history of all.Read full review
Dustin was a great guide and we visited 3 beautiful wineries. One in Napa and two in Sonoma. Muir Woods was breathtaking. Plenty of restaurants to choose from for lunch. The tour was a great experience !!
A whirlwind tour of the most impressive highlights in the 'Grand Circle'. Joel was a great tour guide who did everything to let us focus on enjoying the stunning natural beauty. It hit everything I was after and gave me ideas to come back a..nd do some more sightseeing. I was glad that there was time for personal hiking in Grand Canyon and Zion, but be warned that you may not get to the hikes you want to do in Zion depending on all the other traffic and road closures.Read full review
My partner and I went on the Yosemite 2 day overnight tour (with no accomodation) with the tour and they were fantastic from start to finish. We had both Gino and Denise as tour guides. The driving was great, we never felt unsafe and they w..ere so knowledgeable! I never thought we would learn so much, it was incredible. They were so accomodating with stops/photo/food requirements and even played movies in the tour van! We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to explore Yosemite.Read full review

The tour guide, Marie was excellent, very thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I just wished the tour would spend 2 days at Zion and the Grand Canyon in order to do justice to the parks.
We have returned from our private (2 couple), 11 day guided trip to the Utah National Parks with extension to Death Valley and Yosemite, and can’t say enough superlatives about how beautifully everything went. We were blessed with beautif..ul weather and no adverse effects of the California wildfires. Our upgraded accommodations were all perfect and well curated. Each of the individual parks and monuments had their own grandeur and majesty. Our tour guide, Chelsea Nielsen, could not have been better. She was a delight from first to last. She was knowledgeable, had a special interest in botany and fauna, remained cheerful and upbeat despite the long days spent in the company of ‘seniors’ and was a careful and observant driver to boot. She constantly gave us good guidance as to treks that were interesting and appropriately strenuous, provided snacks and refreshments whenever needed, and, most importantly, remained exceedingly flexible when we requested minor itinerary alterations. This truly felt like a custom trip. We received tremendous “ bang for our buck”. Your trip was more than fairly priced- I know we saw more, had better guidance, and most definitely enjoyed ourselves more than if we had traveled with some better known and much more expensive competitors. I cannot give Bindlestiff enough in rating stars , from the pre-trip planning through to the last day of travel, everything was perfect. Thanks again!!Read full review
Our family took this tour in Sept 2021 and loved every minute of it. We got to tick everything from our wish list, so many national parks and other sights! There was plenty of time for walks in the parks and a good variety of optional activ..ities based on individual interests. Bindlestiff staff were excellent pre tour and gave us helpful tips and packing suggestions, the staff was always extremely prompt and courteous. Our guide Jon was outstanding. His in depth knowledge of the areas we visited and enthusiasm was incredible. He went above and beyond for the group at every opportunity. Thank you- we are already planning our next adventure with you!Read full review
Great experience. We stayed overnight but had no trouble communicating with the bus on the returning day. Gino, the tour operator, is an excellent driver, knowledgeable, has an eye for appreciating the beauties of the nature with a good sen..se of humor.Read full review

Yesterday, our camping tour was finished. We had a great time. Perfect itinerary. One of the best tour guides I ever had (Chris). Everything he did was excellent.
