Tucked into the mountains of California, Yosemite National Park is renowned for its granite cliffs and waterfalls. Half Dome and El Capitan are two of the formations made famous by photographer Ansel Adams. The valley is open year-round for camping, hiking, and climbing. Traffic is congested during peak season and park rangers encourage visitors to use the free shuttle system. For upscale visits, the Ahwahnee Hotel, built in 1927, is chic and luxurious.

I understand that we are all dealing with Covid 19 during this stressful time. However we decided to take this tour and booked many weeks ahead. The tour was cancelled as we were boarding our flight to fly out west and left us stranded. No hotels. Just sent a little email saying I hope you get this email that the tour is cancelled. Extremely unprofessional. Didn’t offer to try to help us make other arrangements. Will definitely hesitate to book on Viator again.

As a return guest, I cannot reccomend Empire Vacations highly enough! With affordable tours, and excellent guides, they always make travelling fun and easy. In a jam-packed 5 day tour from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Sedona, Monument Valley, Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon, you will experience some of the best attractions the USA has to offer. As you journey through California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah, you will see some of the desert's most photogenic landscapes, and learn the natural and cultural history of each region. Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon were the highlights with both offering exceptional, local Navajo guides to educate visitors on the history of two of the places. This tour offers the perfect balance of scheduled tours at attractions and free time to explore the cities at your own pace. The accommodation in each location was clean and the complimentary breakfast was tasty but simple. On our tour we had two guides - Jacob and Dino. Both were knowledgable, professional, humourous, flexible, and made the trip memorable. Suitable for people of all ages, I recommend this tour to families, couples, and solo travellers alike. If you are seeking the adventure of a lifetime, this is the trip for you.

I had such a good experience last year I brought my family back to Vegas just to take some Bindlestiff tours. We went to Death Valley with Tim and it was phenomenal. We all had a great time. It’s basically a sampler platter of quick experiences but that’s perfect for a family with kids. We got to see so much packed into one day. Tim is an excellent guide: friendly, knowledgeable, passionate. The van is very comfortable with plenty of cold water, and lots of restroom stops if you need that. I highly recommend this tour when you’re in vegas, you won’t regret it.

Yosemite National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a shrine to human foresight. Giant granite domes formed under volcanic pressure were cut in half creating the famous sheer-walled faces of Half Dome and El Capitan. Yosemite Valley’s cliffs are 3500 feet tall, and countless waterfalls cascade off the cliffs into the canyon. Yosemite also is home to the amazing Giant Sequoia trees, remnants of the last ice age. Come with us to hike the iconic trails, and experience the remarkable wonders of this stunning national park. Camping brings us back to nature, the silence, digital detox, a roaring campfire, and the dark night skies. Your guide will tailor your trip to your needs and desires. We provide the tents, inflatable mattresses, and camp kitchen. Just bring your sleeping bag.
Inclusions: Tent and Air Mattress, All Fees and Taxes, Air-conditioned vehicle
Exclusions: Meals
A month in advance, I reached out to Susanne for a custom private tour of Yellowstone, Utah's Mighty Five, and Grand Canyon. Susanne and Team really delivered, tailoring an itinerary to match my tastes, weather, and budget. Cameron the guide was also amazing - knowledgeable, flexible, and a great travel partner. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!
