I have my 19 day Spring road trip planned as far as where to stay and what to see, however I would like to determine if we should use a scheduled tour for any of our points of interest.

Here is the map and detail of our road trip:

I would like suggestions for tours we should book (and with what tour company if there are choices) at any of the places we are going to visit.

These are the major places: Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Rocky Mountain National Park (would like short colorful tour), Arches Nat. Park, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon.

Any suggestions along this route would be appreciated.

I tried to open your site and was blocked because of "sex".

Open at own risk.

You can certainly drive yourself through all those parks and don't need tours. However, if you are planning a spring trip, I don't think Yellowstone or RMNP will have much open, as it will still be winter in those areas.

RMNP is open on either side of the park, but the connecting road across the highest altitudes, Trail Ridge Road, is closed until Memorial Day. I'm not aware of any guided bus tours in the available from Estes Park (although I've seen one from Denver, but only in the summer). There's enough to see of the park on the east side, but the visit is much better in the summer after Trail Ridge is open.
