We booked Bindlestiff Tours for a group day trip to Death Valley National Park from Las Vegas. Tour Date: April 1, 2026. Mr. Charlie Taussig was our tour guide. He brought a very comfortable and clean van with large side windows and arrived a few minutes early to greet us. Since it was only the four of us (other guests had cancelled/no other bookings on that tour), we got the benefit of a personal tour. Charlie was professional, friendly, very well informed of the area, shared interesting historical facts and legends, took us to all the points on the tour without rushing, drove safely even when other cars raced past our van, made the tour extra special and memorable. I would ask for Charlie again on any future tour. He covers a wide area of parks and tourist spots on the West Coast and does tours spanning several nights and for different interest groups. As a company Bindlestiff (Mary in particular) was responsive, answered all our doubts and concerns, and the tour unfolded exactly as described. Well stocked with boxed lunch, plenty of cold water and a first aid kit (the latter was tested and put to good use).Thank you Charlie Taussig and Bindlestiff. Highly recommend them. Usha Balakrishnan
