What people love about USA Tours in October
- 7 Day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Camping Tour
I believe this may be the best trip I've had! My favorite parts were Zion, Bryce and Arches National Park. I loved everyone in my group and Vern was an awesome tour leader! Great trip at a great price. I highly recommend it!
- 7 day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Tour
We are very satisfied with this Company. I have been organizing private customized tours for groups of seniors (50 and above) in several countries (Europe, UK, Southeast Asia, United States) so I am experienced enough to compare tour operators and guides. I must say this Company is in my top 3 list in terms of service delivery for reasons stated below. Summary of review: • Planning and organization (Becky)- 5 stars. Email exchanges were fast and queries were immediately answered. • Driver/Guide (Jon - short for Jonathan Maret? if i remembered correctly) - 5 stars. o Safe driving. o Very informative in each place we visited. o Very accommodating. o Very helpful. o Very Intelligent guy. Our group: We are a group of 13 adults ( 2 between ages 25-30, 11 between ages 55 to 75) from the Philippines. For a tour involving national parks, we are not an easy group to handle due to the usual senior citizen concerns (i.e. mobility issues, heat concerns (we came from a country with too much sunlight (we do everything to avoid it lol) so desert heat is quite a concern ), health concern - requiring A LOT of comfort stops). Since it has been THE DREAM of the group to see US' world renowned National Parks, finding a tour operator that can cater the group's concerns is a must. Planning and organization As the head of the group, I liaised with several tour operators in California and Nevada and compare service offers and quotes. Among the proposals I received, Bindlestiff is the most reasonable and flexible. Becky (the person in charge) was quick ( like VERY QUICK – which is a good thing) to exchange emails from planning the routes to recommending hotels. (we booked our own hotels but Becky did a helpful job in giving suggestions on which ones to cancel and change). Becky was very responsive in ensuring my concerns were answered. (i.e. vehicle type, luggage space, change of price - there were supposedly 18 of us, however, we had to cancel 5 due to Visa concerns). Kudos to Becky for excellent customer service. Tour Service There was a lot to see with our itinerary and I have to give all the credit to JON. In each destination, he had a lot of inputs as to the history and in-depth views of the national parks and even each town we passed by. This guy is intelligent. He can easily talk about sports, politics and practically anything. Plus, he has great sense of humor. He was quick to adapt to the group. He changed the route to make sure that the hikes were short. He also made a lot of comfort stops when he found out most of us use restrooms a lot. Lol As our itinerary involves a lot of driving, I am very pleased with Jon’s way of driving. He was always on the side of caution. I sat at the front passenger side so I can vouch his great driving skills. He was also very patient and accommodating of the request of each person in the group. As someone who has been dealing with tour guides in different countries, Jon can easily make my top 3 list of effective, impeccable customer service and informative tour guides. I am actually inspired to try more outdoor hobbies. Great thanks to this Company. Will definitely recommend this Company to our friends at this side of the planet.
- Wild West – 5 days
Roberto, Brenda, Paula, George and Jacob were all fantastic people to go on the tour with!! They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable on the trip.

How much should I budget for a USA trip in October?

Visitors can join seasonal ranger programs focused on autumn wildlife and geology.
What are the advantages of booking a tour in October versus other months?
The shoulder season brings notable benefits including reduced rates smaller groups and pleasant temperatures.

What wildlife can I expect to see during October tours?
October marks a busy period for wildlife activity as animals prepare for winter. Visitors to Yellowstone and Grand Teton can observe elk during rutting season migrating birds and bears actively foraging. A TourRadar guide reports: "October tours through Yellowstone offer some of the best opportunities to see wildlife especially around Lamar Valley and Hayden Valley."
Are there any special events or festivals in October?
The month features distinctive celebrations including the Native American Heritage Celebration at Monument Valley and various harvest festivals across the Southwest. Early October brings the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The View Hotel in Monument Valley arranges special cultural programs during this period. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The October Native American festivals added an amazing cultural dimension to our park visits."
