Frequently Asked Questions About Bryce and Zion Tours From Las Vegas:
Q: Why book a Bryce and Zion tour that leaves from Las Vegas?
A: That’s an easy one. Bryce and Zion are only a short drive from Las Vegas, so many people choose to take a few days out of their Las Vegas vacation to explore the beautiful scenery that these National Parks can offer. We can pick you up and drop you off at numerous, convenient locations at major hotels on the Strip, so you can sleep in a luxurious hotel room one night and camp out under the stars of the wide open American Southwest the next night. Additionally, our airport in Las Vegas is a major hub with international traffic. Because it is such a major airport, the majority of flights that land in Las Vegas are significantly less expensive than if you fly into the smaller airports closer to the parks themselves.
Q: How long does it take to get to Bryce and Zion from Las Vegas?
A: It takes a little over two hours to drive from Las Vegas to Zion, and about four hours to drive from Las Vegas to Bryce. The way our tours work, we have found it best to make the four-hour drive to Bryce and camp overnight before heading to Zion. We have found that doing it this way gives us the most daylight at each location, and makes the trip home less taxing after two long days of adventure!
Q: Why should I take a tour of Bryce and Zion when I can just rent a car and drive myself?
A: Nobody likes to drive long distances and then go hiking and exploring after driving for hours. Our tours allow you to rest while being transported in comfort to the location, being entertained along the way by our knowledgeable guides who will fill you in about the areas we are going through, the parks themselves and the people who have occupied these areas for thousands of years. Many tour companies put you on a bus and put in a DVD that gives you a scripted presentation about the areas, but Bindlestiff Tours are different. We believe that the only way to fully experience the beauty of these spaces is with a personal guide. That’s why we keep our tour groups small and our tour leaders interacting with you directly. It isn’t about getting a bus ride to the area, it is about experiencing it all. In addition, our guides know the areas personally. We do not hire drivers who just take you to the park to watch through the windows of a bus. We hire the best guides in the business who know these areas from exploring them themselves.
Q: Why tour Bryce and Zion when I can go to the Grand Canyon?
A. We offer a slightly longer tour that includes both of these great National Parks, as well as the Grand Canyon. However, for those who are shorter on time and who want the most out of their trip, we have found that the unique beauty of each of these parks is just as great as the Grand Canyon, and you can experience two different areas within a short period of time.
Q: Why should I choose your tour company over the competition for Bryce tours from Las Vegas?
A: This is probably the easiest question for us to answer. You should choose us because we are the best, and we treat you like a member of our family that we are taking to wild and beautiful areas that we know intimately. We are excited about these areas because we love to tour them ourselves. Our tours to Bryce and Zion are adventures, not just sitting in a bus and watching the scenery through the windows. We get out into the environment. We hike, walk, photograph, camp, horseback ride and experience the beauty of Bryce and Zion just like the explorers who first came to the American Southwest. We learn from the original inhabitants of these areas. We respect the land, and want you to be just as excited and overwhelmed as we were the first time we saw it.
