Me and my son just came back from this tour. Our guide Joe is well experience and gave us good history of each place. It's a lot of driving which I don't mind as I enjoy sight seeing anyway. I have crossed out lots of places in my bucke..t list for a short period of time.Read full review
Had a great time on this small-group 3-day trip. Joe Olguin our guide/driver was a real gem of big personality. Never a dull moment on this trip. We did everything and were well fed throughout the whole 3 days that ended with suppler at a d..iner on Route 66. the perfect experience. Must also say how impressed I was with the back-up team in the office. Amazingly easy booking experience and they kept me informed etc right up to the day of the trip. Would certainly look at this tour company for their tours if I were traveling in other areas where they operate in the future. Well done guys and thanks (and Joe!)Read full review
I recently took the three-day Canyon-lands tour, which started and ended in Las Vegas. It is a whirlwind, as you cover 1,100 miles in the three-days, so if you’re not up to a fast pace this isn’t the tour for you, but I truly had a blas..t. We visited Zion and Bryce National Parks the first day, which were breathtaking. The next day we went to Antelope Canyon, which is just mind-blowing and can only be visited with a Navajo Guide, which was all arranged. Then on to Monument Valley where many of the old Westerns were filmed, again with a Navajo Guide. We even had dinner at a Navajo home and were treated to Navajo tacos (on flatbread). The final day is the Grand Canyon, which made me feel very, very small and took my breath away. I opted for the helicopter flight over the canyon, which was totally worth it. With my 11 new friends, we hiked, ate, laughed and just had a great time thanks to our trusty guide Marie, who is absolutely wonderful. She kept us all going and truly knew the history of the area. She was also an excellent driver of the very nice, new van we were in. I would highly recommend it.Read full review
From the guide being so well organized to the included food options, everything was so wonderfully prepared. It was my first real multiday camping in the southwest. The equipment and food were quality and the campsites were more than accomm..odating. We were promised a fast-paced and fun trip and Marie definitely did not disappoint. She was so knowledgeable about her American History and geology and even about the religious aspects of the toured sites. The hikes were moderately challenging but had options to go a little easier. Definitely shouldnt be too delicate on this trip as its dusty and dirty and you will help with the gear. All around amazing experience and thankful to have booked with them!Read full review
We chose the camping option and we are so glad we did. Tents were easy to set up and everyone helped with camp setup and take down. You just got to know everyone better sitting around the campfire , sharing stories. A few nights got rather ..cold and Marie was on top of getting us other sleeping options for our comfort. Tour bus was comfortable for the 13 of us and Marie was an exceptional driver especially with cargo trailer in tow. She was full of info for each spot we headed to . All destinations were beautiful and had the wow factor . You could choose the level or amount of hiking you wished to do and had more than enough time at each spot. Definitely some early mornings and very busy days so if your into sleeping in and lounging around maybe not the best choice for you. This is one of the best tours we've ever done and would recommend them to our friends. The destinations, our guide Marie and our 11 new friends made it a trip to rememberRead full review
Every place we went to was breath-taking. Amongst my favorite moments was hiking through Antelope Canyon. Jeeping through Monument Valley and learning all about this Native American land. The Grand Canyon took my breath away. And the Route ..66 drive back to Vegas was awesome, and so much fun. Must be said though that our tour guide and minibus driver, Brad, had a lot to do with the tour being amazing. He gave so much of himself, gave us heaps of interesting info about all the places, and was a great bloke and amazing American. Thank you Brad!Read full review
Bad organization. I did a reservation for 4 of us and we weren't on the driver's list. It also happened to another group. The driver didn't do much about it, he said he doesn't care as we weren't on his list, only after we insisted as we we..re 6 pers who paid a ticket just to not go on the tour. The driver asked us an extra charge if we wanted to do the hike on the canyon and also aggressively asked again for tips at the end of the night. He got aggressive when we didn't tip him and started cursing us. It's funny he was supposed to be our tour guide also but the only informations we had is that the canyon is on the right side.Never seen something like thisRead full review
We had a great time during these three days, the tour is very well organized. The guide of a great kindness made us discovered very beautiful landscapes. The circuit allows to discover several parks in 3 days. At each stage we had the choic..e between several hikes. The camping option allows you to immerse yourself even more. The only negative point will be the quality of the food. (the first night we are sold a barbecue but it is not at all the case)Read full review
I did the 7 days Southwest Highlights trip (camping) back in early October 2019 and had the best time! I normally would just rate a company without leaving additional comments, but with them I almost feel urged to do so as the level of pers..onal attention, professionalism & overall fun during the tour really made the difference for me. I think it’s safe to say they are among the best, if not the best, excursion experiences I’ve ever had! Would definitely recommend them and will surely look them up again for a next trip to the US myself! Our guide, Marie, was all you’d expect in a tour guide, but unfortunately rarely get; enthusiastic, passionate about all the sights we’ve seen, she gave plenty of personal attention, she was part of the team and not ‘only’ a tour guide, she was respectful & told us lots of interesting stories & bits on all sights and things along the way. Whenever I had a question, she had an answer. Our tour being the last one before winter season, a cold front headed towards the camping sites in the last 2 days of our tour, and Marie felt more than responsible to upgrade us to hotel rooms & constantly checked on us and our needs. She arranged it and kept us constantly up to date on all developments, this is where she really made the difference for me. Camping grounds & services are of good level, most of them have complimentary Wi-Fi, plenty of charging points & good restroom facilities. The vehicle in which we made this trip was comfortable, has good air conditioning, several charging points for electronic devices, so we’d always arrive full of energy at the next destination. Based on each destination, a specific playlist was played on the radio to completely indulge you into the moment of seeing and experiencing a destination for the first time. To me, this showed eye for detail & helped in creating the best memories possible of all these places. The itinerary itself is simply great. A lot of things are covered in one week & leaves time for some relaxation, mostly in the evenings, as well. Multiple options for the day -varying on e.g. intensity of a hike, either hiking or visiting a town- are given as option to you upfront, so you can just go ahead and pick whichever you like most or plan a ‘day off’ from hiking if you’re in need of some rest. For me, my only (really minor) issue with the itinerary was that I really liked the delicious picnic style diner at Dead Horse Viewpoint, but it sort of had an overlap with Canyonlands the next day in terms of views on the scenery. Just Dead Horse Viewpoint would’ve been enough for me, but this is personal, and the next guy might completely disagree with me here. The rest of the itinerary is perfectly planned, and my best memories remain the carefully planned sunset moments – Every night, we were exactly at the right place when the sun was about to set. Great photo opportunities as well! Biggest highlights for me were Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park & Monument Valley. Especially the hike in Bryce Canyon is one of a kind! Thanks, ToursFun, for this wonderful experience. I just feel my Southwest USA experience, a bucket list trip for almost 30 years, would not have been the same when booked through another tour provider, and that’s exactly the feeling I hope to conclude any tour with.Read full review
We managed to pack in so much sight seeing it is a busy tour and you get to see so so much. I cannot believe how much we did get to do. Zion park is beautiful and Bryce Canyon with Snow was magnificent to see. Monument Valley is just so spe..ctacular and somewhere I always wanted to go. We took an optional tour to Antelope Canyon a dinner on Navajo farm and helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. This tour is suitable for young and old. Our tour guide Marie was very knowledgable and attentive, we were very well looked after. Highly recommended ++++++Read full review
I never write trip reviews but this trip was amazing. I did the camping version which was a lot of fun to be in the outdoors in this beautiful scenery. There were 13 of us from all different countries, and a wide age range, almost all solo ..travellers, and we got along great. Marie was a spectacular tour guide, knowledgeable, organized, and fun. I was expecting camping type food and was pleasantly surprised at how well we ate! The parks were incredible and varied in their terrain. Having done the research for visiting these areas on a tour, I can say that they offer the best itinerary and also at the lowest cost. Book with them, you’ll be glad you did!Read full review

We would like to specially commend our guide, Evan, who did an outstanding job. His great personality and wealth of knowledge in history, geography and politics made the tours very enjoyable. He also paid special care to the safety of all p..assengers, from his safe driving techniques to constantly checking that everyone is well taken care of. Well done Evan! The tour also covered many of the key attractions in the national Parks. Truly a wel spent three days and the lodging accommodation was also very comfortable. we look forward to attending another tour in the near future!Read full review
