Top Phoenix Outdoor Activities

Our tour guide Patrick was great, very personable, helpful and informative and took us thru the Sonora desert, Sedona and the rock formations, stopped for lunch at a wonderful 120 year old Navajo trading post/saloon, and then to various viewing points of the Grand Canyon. The final stop was at the El Tovar historic National inn overlooking the Grand Canyon. It was a full day 11-12 hour tour and totally worthwhile. I would definitely recommend it. We went in a small van which was very comfortable and Patrick made sure that everyone was comfortable, made numerous pit stops along the way, and kept the tour moving along on schedule.

Went on the guided tour with Emmett (spelling?) as our guide. Our guide was very knowledgeable and confident and gave us a sense of ease. The sights were gorgeous and the water was nice. Would highly recommend getting food after the kayaking trip because the food is great, and competitively and fairly priced. I think you should go with more people on a guided tour because honestly, the more the merrier but it wasn’t bad with the little group we had. Would definitely do it again!

Our guide did an outstanding job throughout the entire tour. He was extremely informative and shared so much interesting history about each location we visited. We stopped at several unique and beautiful spots around the canyon that we probably never would have discovered on our own. At each stop, he explained the history of the area, what we were looking at geologically, and some of the stories connected to those viewpoints. What really stood out was the guide’s energy and attitude. He was fun, positive, and clearly passionate about what he does. His enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable and kept everyone engaged throughout the day. We also had time to browse for souvenirs and take in the scenery without feeling rushed. Standing at the edge of the canyon and taking in the massive scale and beauty of it all was absolutely breathtaking. Pictures simply can’t capture how incredible it feels to see it in person. 📸 Overall, it was an incredibly memorable experience. The guide’s knowledge, positive energy, and ability to keep the tour engaging made the day even better. My wife and I left with a much deeper appreciation for the beauty and history of the Grand Canyon National Park, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It’s something we’ll never forget!
