We had an awesome time using Bindlestiff Tours (guide Joel) for the Death Valley experience. Joel is so knowledgeable of the history and went above and beyond to make our experience one we won't forget. We will definitely be returning.

Our recent Japan tour was absolutely wonderful! We visited Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, and the charming Shirakawa-go village — each stop was unique and unforgettable. The itinerary was well-organized, the hotels were comfortable, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Shirakawa-go was the highlight for us — such a beautiful, peaceful place that truly captured the spirit of Japan. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the best of Japan!

Sun Tzu advised, "Use local guides." When traveling around the world I have usually traveled solo, just getting spot tours to gain access to specific locations. My prior experiences with big bus tours were suboptimal. In planning a trip to Japan, an old friend who had been to Japan strongly suggested going with a group. I compromised by planning two weeks with this group to get oriented and then two weeks solo. Steve was a very good local guides, helping me get acclimated. Now I am off on my own with the independent serendipity I have always preferred.

What our customers ask about Fully Guided Tours & Trips
What are fully guided accommodations like?
You'll stay in comfortable 3-5 star hotels chosen for their location and quality. In Japan, this means places like the Star Gate Hotel near Kansai Airport and Osaka Castle Hotel. If you're headed to Egypt, you'll split your time between nice hotels like the Tolip Golden Plaza in Cairo and boats for your Nile cruise. One happy traveler put it well: "The hotels throughout the tour were all clean and comfortable. Our accommodation was everywhere acceptable and in nice boutique hotels."
How do you get around on fully guided tours?
Your guide takes care of all the travel details, so you can relax. You'll ride in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles - small vans for smaller groups or larger buses when needed. In India, for example, groups of 4-5 travel in Toyota Innovas. Some trips mix it up with special travel experiences, like taking an overnight train in Vietnam or cruising down the Nile in Egypt. Your guide handles everything, including making sure your bags get to your room.
How active are fully guided tours?
It really depends on the tour, but most keep things at an easy to moderate level. You might walk for 2-3 hours on city tours, climb some stairs at temples or museums, or take optional hikes. In Japan, for instance, the Mount Fuji visit includes some walking at 7,546 feet (2,300m). Your guide will make sure the pace works for everyone in the group, and you'll have plenty of downtime at your hotel to rest up between activities.
How much free time do you get on fully guided tours?
You typically get 2-4 hours of free time each day to explore on your own. In India, for example, many tours do sightseeing in the morning and leave afternoons open. Your guide (travelers often mention guides like Neeraj) will suggest great things to do during your free time. Some tours also offer optional activities - like visiting the Abu Simbel temples in Egypt - if you want to add more to your day.
When's the best time to take a fully guided tour?
It really depends where you're going. Vietnam is best from October to March when you'll miss the monsoon season. Morocco shines in spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) when the weather is warm but not too hot. As one traveler who went to Vietnam shared: "We went in April and had perfect weather - not too hot or rainy, making the outdoor activities much more enjoyable."
