We all enjoyed it. The van was comfortable, nice and clean, and pick up was on time also. Our tour guide, Chloe, was wonderful! She had so much
information she passed along to us and was very in tuned to our health and hydration needs in ..this area. The lunch provided was really good. Only good things to say about our day trip.Read full review
I'm so glad that I booked this trip. It's a lot of travel to get to all of the places, but it's a great
introduction to them. You spend only a couple of hours in each place, so if you're expecting to explore all day in the park, this isn't.. the right tour for you. It is, however, enough time to explore a trail or two and get a feel for the beauty and diverse landscapes in each of the park.
I did the camping version of this trip, and I'm glad that I did. I've set up a tent only one other time on another trip with Tours4fun, but the guide helps you out. The tent isn't quite tall enough for me to stand up in, but it was roomy enough since I had a solo tent. I wouldn't enjoy sharing one. On the second night in Monument Valley, we had great weather, so we didn't put out the rain fly. And, it was fantastic looking up through the tent mesh to see the stars and the moon. At Monument Valley, we camped right on the rim, which gave us great views of the sunrise. That alone is worth doing the camping version vs the hotel version.
The breakfasts are basic (muffins, bagels, cereal, etc), but that was enough for me. Lunches are sandwiches, which were very good. The two dinners (BBQ on the first night and Navajo Tacos on the second night) were very good also. It isn't 5 star restaurant food, but after a day of hiking and exploring, everything we ate was delicious.
Both campsites had bathrooms and showers and were pretty close to the campsite. Our guide, Chloe, did a great job getting us to the places safely and giving us lots of information about the places that we were visiting.
You spend a lot of time in the van getting to the different places, but it was a good time to sightsee, take a nap, and visit with the other people on the trip. We had people from 5 different countries on this trip, which I really enjoyed.
They stop frequently for bathroom breaks, water refills, and to get snacks, so the time goes pretty quickly.
Antelope Canyon costs an additional $100 or so, but it is definitely worth it. We went to the lower part of Antelope Canyon, and it is just stunning. I would definitely recommend this optional activity. None of the people on our trip did the helicopter ride at the Grand Canyon, so I can't speak to how that is.
Everything on this trip was well organized and you're just surrounded by beauty everywhere you look. Chloe is a fantastic guide, and I learned so much from her. I saw that there is a winter version of the trip, so that may be my next outing.
Tours4fun is really good at communication to you and answering questions. I will definitely travel with them again.Read full review
The tour was absolutely amazing, and our guide Adriann went above and beyond to ensure it was an amazing 3 days. The scenery in the southwest you see is unmatched, the company was amazing and overall one of the best trips / tours I’ve eve..r been on! I am very thankful to Adriann who was very warm, friendly, energetic and knowledgable which set a great morale for the group. Definitely would suggest this tour to anyone in this area of the USA!Read full review
I went on the 3 day National Parks tour and it was incredible! As a solo, female travel I felt taken care of and safe. I also felt informed by my incredible tour guide Chloe ! I highly recommend.
I did not want the trip to end, I was enjoying San Francisco and Grand Canyon National Park so much and would have loved to have been able to stay longer.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the tour. Good value for money. Adrian was a fabulous guide, a very safe driver who always had a smile and consistently demonstrated a sincere interest in the group’s enjoyment. We were the beneficiaries o..f his vast knowledge of the national parks and previous experience in touring groups. Even though we travelled many miles, the time was broken up with frequent restroom and stretch breaks. We visited many remarkable places. Adrian’s descriptions were really helpful. He added value to our travels by playing specially selected music as we approached specific destinations and the Polaroid pictures he took of us will be wonderful souvenirs! Bravo Adrian!Read full review
Our three-day tour round the canyons was amazing. We escaped Las Vegas just ahead of Hurricane Hilary, and managed to get most of the way through the trip without it catching up to us. We expected boiling hot weather but were pleasantly sur..prised that the hurricane had cooled almost everywhere down. Our guide Chloe was a wealth of information and took care of all our needs with grace and good humour.
Zion canyon had shuttle buses to take us to the various walking points - if you plan to walk through the water at The Narrows, bring water-shoes/towels and you'd need to do it pretty fast to get back in time. We were happy just to get there and eat lunch (delicious sandwiches). Bryce Canyon was even more spectacular, the hoodoos were amazing and the hiked down into the canyon provided mind-blowing views back up. That was definitely the most challenging walk, but we made it. Camping near Bryce was basic, our sleeping mats were not particularly
comfortable, but it was only one night, and we could catch up sleep on the bus. The campfire was a nice touch, and there was SO MUCH FOOD!
Day 2, our trip to Antelope canyon via the bridge over Lake Powell was superb, and so much fun going out in the jeeps. The canyon was astonishing and the local guide helped us take all the good photos. Next was my bucket list item, Monument Valley. Hot, windy and dusty for our jeep tour, but spectacular scenery, well worth the whole trip. The camp site was right in front of the buttes, such an amazing view. especially pre-dawn, with some stars still visible in the sky.
Day 3, big driving day, it was good to have several stops to stretch our legs and have bathroom breaks. From Monument Valley to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. And there, we got the outer remnants of the hurricane (just rain and mist) and thought we might not see into the Grand Canyon at all, just fog. We decided to walk along the rim in the rain, and would recommend that option to anyone, as part way the weather lifted, and we got ALL the good views. Really mind-blowing. The drive back into Vegas is long but was broken up with a visit to Seligman on Route 66, where we had hamburgers and milkshakes from the famous shop. Chloe kept us informed and amused with the stories and info on all the stops, she made sure we had food, tents, breaks etc and was an excellent guide. The tour covers so much in 3 days, but it was so worth it for us as our time was limited after our conference in Vegas.Read full review
