Dirk was an excellent tour guide. He offered so much knowledge and expertise to our experience. I am so thankful we were booked with his tour! It was snowing at Bryce so he offered to change our itinerary to Valley of Fire so that we got our full tour experience. He stopped more times than required for photo opps and we were so thankful for the amazing views. He offered to stop at many areas not on the “list”. He was a skilled and confident driver and we felt very safe. The 7 of us throughly enjoyed our tour!

Great experience! Our driver/guide Paulie did an outstanding job. We had inclement weather and Paulie drove perfectly, very smoothly and under control. Also, the entrance to Zion was closed and he was willing to drive for an extra 2 hours to get us to Zion through a different entrance. Great service and outstanding experience. We loved both Bryce and Zion.

Such a great trip from Vegas. I can only take so much of the Strip, so I love all of the tours that leave from there. Our guide, Dirk, was really great and handled changes we needed to make due to weather with ease. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. The bus was comfortable, and I felt safe the whole time.

Absolutely worth doing! Stunning views with perfect amount of stop off’s on the way. My only negative was the transportation, we were cramped on a small bus with 14 other people. Seats were extremely uncomfortable for such a long journey!!

I very much enjoyed the tour, the driver was friendly. The tour itself was organised very well. Loved it all Thanks Lisa Wales UK
