I'm thinking about joining this tour as a solo traveler. I am a beginner at camping, but I love the outdoors and would love to join. I wanted to ask, do you have to know how to put up and take down your own tent, or are there staff available to help you do so?

This tour is perfect for beginner campers as your guide oversees all set-up and break-down of camp each day. They will ask for assistance and show you how if you don't know. Our gear is really easy to set-up and take-down and takes only 5 minutes.

We are needing a group or private vacation including all meals, transfers, any transportation, want to see as much as we can in this area. This is a big bucket list for us. Any tour would have to include hiking through slot canyons as well. We are seniors, but active.

Our tours can be booked with payment of 6 or more seats. We do not arrange flights or pre/post accommodation or snacks.

Do we make our own flight reservations?

No covid vaccines or tests are required, right?

Do we have to set up our own tents?

You do put up your own tents with the help of your guide- they are easy to put up dome tents and take approximately 5 mins to put up.

Me and my partner are struggling ally with how we would recommend Bindlestiff tours. We paid a lot of money and what we got back does not feel like that value. However with that being said, we had a really good tour guide, Haley, she drove us around for the entire week and also made us forget during the second part of our trip that we had these frustrations. So I feel like it’s very important to mention that the only issues we had was with the fact that we felt like we paid too much for what we got back (every day having to put up and take down our own tents, when back in Vegas not sleeping on the strip but being right outside the center in one of the cheaper hotels, normally dinner not included, etc…). Besides that, we did have a really beautiful trip.Show more
