Excellent guide with knowledge about history, geology, local culture. Plenty of time at each site to hike, explore, and feel like you experienced the surroundings. Due to Covid 19, some alternate plans had to be made, but the alternate plans were just as amazing and beautiful. Accommodations were comfortable and clean. Van seating was comfortable - but we were not at full capacity

I had a great time during the 3 Days Winter Tour (Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Horseshoe bend, Antelope Canyon and Zion Park). It is intense, because of the many hours of driving, but it was beautiful. We have been provided with all the information and assistance we needed by our driver/guide. It's been fun, we have seen beautiful places, everything was very well organised and all went smooth! Great experience! :) Bindlestiff is great!

The tour was well organized, well vetted locations for lodging, food stops, etc.. The guide, Joel, was extremely knowledgeable of local history. He was friendly, approachable, and a safe/good driver. The tour was on time, all logistics were handled for us. All we had to do was sit back and enjoy the amazing scenery.

The tour ended today, and I’d do it again tomorrow. Don’t take a big bus tour, take Bindlestiff with Joel Clark as your guide. Listen to local history, learn about geology, and have the entire trip organised perfectly. Have restroom stops and breakfast planned. Know that Joel will be there when he says, and enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Enjoy safe driving and interesting stories infused with historical facts and dry humour. Travel through beautiful landscapes and See rocks that are bigger than buildings. Hike an invigorating trail looking at blue sky and red rock. Arriving at monument valley, Grand Canyon, horseshoe bend and antelope canyon, Zion National Park is just part of it, it’s the journey through the huge desert that is amazing. Yeah, this is a good tour. Thanks Joel,
