Excellent experience

It was a lovely evening. The tour guide was really, really good. She was knowledgeable. She knew about the plants the animals the geography. She shared interesting experiences that it happened in the park. And she was funny. She made it really fun. She also showed great care for everybody in the party. I would do it again. I would encourage my friends and family to do it.

best sunset spot

We only had a short time in Arizona, so we wanted a tour that would let us see the highlights and learn more about the Grand Canyon. Since I absolutely love sunsets, this tour was the perfect choice! Our tour guide, Taylor, was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable, shared so much interesting information about the Grand Canyon and the surrounding area, and made the entire experience enjoyable. He also took amazing photos for everyone and knew all the best spots to watch the sunset—it was absolutely breathtaking. I’m so glad I booked this tour. It exceeded my expectations and was the highlight of our trip to Arizona. If you’re looking for a memorable Grand Canyon experience with an exceptional guide, I highly recommend this tour!

Sheila was so...

Sheila was so knowledgable and was flexible with our itinerary to accommodate what the group preferred. Lots of info not only about the geography but about the flora and fauna and what it's like to live in an area with little water. We took this tour based on our son's recommendation, and he was correct. Avoided so much of the crowds so it was great. Can't wait to come back!

Breath taking views and a great crew!

I really loved this experience. The ground crew were polite and helpful and Pilot Keith was enthusiastic and welcoming. He provided lots of interesting info about the Grand Canyon and its surroundings. The views were spectacular and beautiful. You should definitely add seeing the Canyon from above in a helicopter to your bucket list. Also, the headphones transmitted an informative narrative while we were flying.

Great Tour and Tour Guide!

Great way to explore the South Rim of the Grand Canyon! Our tour guide Leo (Leanore) is extremely knowledgeable and a very good communicator. She moved us around various points of interest at a comfortable pace, sharing the history, geology, biology, and tribal significance of the Canyon. She had several interactive tools for us to learn from, and was great at answering questions of every sort. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to do more than just look at the Grand Canyon.

Great tour

Excellent tour, William was knowledgeable and very open to questions. Our only concern was that he started the tour by asking us to not discuss politics and religion (good idea). We quickly found out that did not pertain to him. Before we entered the park entrance he mentioned that higher gas prices were affecting park attendance. He also said that the new international entrance fee ($250) was because somebody is greedy. He also mentioned several times about there were numerous flooding that had occurred over time and not just "once" as some religions believe. Last but not least he mentioned that officially the park took 5 years to become a national park because back then the government "listened" to the people more. Regardless of the political and religious views of William I would still recommend the company and him, just be prepared for his personal opinions.

Unforgettable experience!

Working with Rosaria was absolutely wonderful—she has such a warm personality and made the entire shoot so much fun! She respected the poses and vision I had in mind, while also offering great suggestions whenever I needed guidance. Thanks to her experience, she knew all the best spots and positioning, and gave clear, thoughtful direction throughout the session. She was also constantly encouraging and positive, which helped me relax and feel confident in front of the camera. I highly recommend her to anyone reading this review. I booked a one-hour session, but if you have the flexibility, I’d suggest a longer one so you can try a variety of ideas. I’m so grateful I chose her to capture such a once-in-a-lifetime moment—my wedding photos. Thank you so much! Rosariaは人柄も素敵で、とても楽しい撮影でした！私がやりたいポーズやイメージを尊重しつつ、困ったら提案もしてくれました！慣れている彼女だからこそ知っているスポットや立ち位置を細かく教えてくれます。また、常にポジティブな声かけをしてくれたので楽しく自信を持って撮影できました。このレビューを見た方へ強く彼女をおすすめします。私は1時間のコースにしましたが、余裕があれば多く見た方が色々と試せると思います。ウェディングフォトという人生で一度の機会を彼女にお願いできて良かったです。ありがとうございました。

Great experience!

Super fun 40 minute ride over the canyon! Great views and it was a recorded narration over the canyon. The only drawback is that the plane holds many people and they assign seating, meaning a window seat is not guaranteed. However, you will still be able to see well even in one towards the middle. Would do again. Office was welcoming and had a gift shop. Plenty of parking.
