North America Tours for Solo Travelers
Our solo travelers really connect with the Canadian Rockies camping tours - they're perfect for mixing independence with group activities. The 14-day routes take you through Jasper, Banff and Vancouver Island, where you can switch between group hikes, canoeing and exploring towns at your own pace. The small groups naturally come together while setting up camp and sharing stories by the fire. The Southwest parks are another top pick for solo guests, mainly because our guides create such a welcoming atmosphere. You'll join other travelers to wade through Zion's Narrows, discover Bryce Canyon's unique rock formations and take guided 4x4 trips into Monument Valley. Our solo customers often mention how comfortable they feel, whether they're joining group activities or taking quiet time with their camera.

What people love about touring North America solo
- Canadian Rockies: National Parks Westbound
Our guide Jon was relaxed and accommodated everyone’s needs on the tour with nothing being a big deal.
- Yellowstone & Rocky Mountain Explorer
I joined three tours with this company, the death valley day tour, 7 day southwest highlights and 7 day yellowstone national park tour. Joel Clark was my tour guide on the death valley and 7 day southwest tour and Mike Brown on the 7 day yellowstone tour. All three tours were amazing. I saw so much of the west coast and so many highlights including Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Zion and Bryce national park, Grand Teton, Yellowstone national park etc. Not to mention so many stories about the wild west. I chose the camping option on both 7 day tours and I really encourage choosing this option. You meet alot of people, you can learn how to setup camp if you never gone camping before, you get to be closer to nature and sometimes you can star gaze and possible see the Milky way (I saw it three days in a row). Joel and Mike are one of the best tour guides I have ever met. They were professional, approachable and have a great personality. Overall I really enjoyed all tours with Bindlestiff and I really recommend joining one of their tours especially if you are short on time. You will definitely have fun and Bindlestiff tours will make your trip a memorable one. Thank you Joel, Mike and Bindlestiff for making my USA trip a memorable one. Hope to see you guys again in the future.
- Explore the Canadian Rockies in 5 Days: Banff, Jasper & Yoho National Parks Tour
Calgary Tours has a very solid organizational logistics plan in place making sure that each day, the right people are on the right bus. Not sure how they do it, but it was amazing. I expected that Calgary Tours would have set us up at some low rated hotels. Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotels we stayed at were great. One tour guide that stands out is Allen. He went out of his way to ensure that our last night stay in Calgary was ready to go. His bilingual language skills in both English and Chinese assured that his passengers received a very clear understanding of the important places we visited. Allen is a great asset to Calgary Tours.
