The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.

Antelope Canyon tour with a Local Navajo Guide
Capitol Reef National Park: Experience a world of difference at the 58-acre Capitol Reef Resort in Torrey, Utah, just one mile from the entrance of Capitol Reef National Park. From your room, you’ll take in stunning views of the Red Rock Cliffs. You can relax and refresh in the outdoor hot tub and seasonal outdoor pool or get energized in the fully equipped fitness centre. Indulge in comfort food at the Pioneer Kitchen surrounded by Capitol Reef National Park and the high desert of the Colorado Plateau.
Canyonlands National Park: There’s no better spot to witness the power of the Colorado River carving through rocky red landscapes than at Canyonlands National Park. Take in the views from the Green River Overlook, and be inspired by the vast expanse of high desert canyons at Grand Viewpoint.
Dead Horse Point State Park: Utah’s Canyon Country is an endless playground. Travel to Dead Horse Point State Park in San Juan County for a dramatic overlook of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park. Opened to the public in 1959, the Park covers 5,362 acres of high desert at an altitude of 5,900 feet. You’ll love getting back to nature making stops at the Colorado River Overlook and the famed Dead Horse Point for sweeping views of the high desert.
Arches National Park: Nature's creations spring to life at Arches National Park, home to the greatest concentration of natural arches in the world. Some 2,000 natural sandstone arches can be found within the boundaries of the national park. On your visit, unlock all the science and history of how these 6,000 natural sandstone arches were formed by rain and wind. Take in the sights of Delicate Arch and Balanced Rock while admiring the ever-changing landscapes as you traverse the park.
Goblin Valley State Park: The park's most distinctive feature is its thousands of mushroom-shaped hoodoos, which stand anywhere from a few feet to several meters tall. These rock formations were shaped by erosion over millions of years and resemble a gathering of otherworldly figures, hence the park's nickname, "Goblin Valley." Get an up-close look at these hoodoo formations paving your own trail throughout the park.
Capitol Reef National Park: Magnificent scenery awaits at Capitol Reef National Park, best known for its Waterpocket Fold, a 100-mile-long (160 km) warp in the earth's crust. Established in 1971 as a National Park the park today is popular due to it's landscape of colourful canyons, ridges, buttes, and monoliths. Learn about the park at the Visitor Centre before taking a stroll along one of the various trails around the park.
Kodachrome Basin State Park, with it's red tinged rock formations and incredible blue skies, just begs to be photographed.
Bryce Canyon National Park: Hello, hoodoos. As you arrive at Bryce Canyon National Park, enjoy seeing the pink, orange and rusty-red limestone spires, known as hoodoos, rise up from the valley floor. Explore the visitor center to learn more about the history and geology of the park before a scenic drive along Bryce Canyon Road with possible stops at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point and Inspiration Point. You’ll love seeing how Bryce Canyon, home to the largest collection of these spires in the world, is in a league of its own.
Kanab: Time to climb in the Coral Pink sand dunes, and to be a kid again. This is the place to take your boots off and just scramble around on the curiously colored sand.
Glen Canyon Dam: Enjoy a walk to the rim of Glen Canyon where you will get the chance to visit Horseshoe Bend.
Zion National Park: Unlock geological history as you walk the paths and trails of Zion National Park, following in the footsteps of Native Americans and the earliest pioneers. The lush vegetation, wild rivers, roaring waterfalls and towering cliffs of this park will have you reaching for your camera over and over again.
Antelope Canyon: Embrace today's MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experience as you hike down into Antelope Canyon in The Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park. Your local Diné (Navajo) guides will explain how slot canyons are formed as you stand in awe of the dramatic beauty surrounding.
Grand Canyon National Park: Enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience at Shash Dine Eco Retreat on the Navajo Nation. Meet your hosts Baya and Paul for an under-the-stars, traditional meal of mutton stew, frybread, vegetables, melon, coffee and Navajo tea. Your local dining experience is enhanced by Navajo storytelling by storyteller and award-winning Diné recording artist Eli Secody, whose fun and fascinating stories are steeped in his Dine’ roots. Cap off the evening walking up to a remarkable vista on the very land where Baya can trace her lineage back over 20 generations.

What an amazing trip! I think the word I used most was, Wow. The scenery was almost other wordily in Goblin State Park, and The Arches National Park was spectacular. You can hike if you want, and the trails range from easy to moderate, according to The National Parks Service, but I thought some of the moderate ones bordered on difficult. The Navajo Trial in Bryce Canyon National Park was very tough and make sure you give yourself rest stops along the way. The Be My Guest dinner was unique in that it was held on a Navajo Indian Reservation, and the fare was a genuine Navajo dinner. Make sure you go to Dead Horse Point State Park as well. If you are looking for an adventurous trip with some amazing folks, Trafalgar Mighty Five is for you!

It was fantastic! We saw more than we ever thought we would. The lodging was great. Our tour guide was very thorough in his explanations. My only negative was that he didn’t always wait for the folks in the back of the bus before he took off on a hike.
