Miguel Montoya was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the Grand Canyon's history, and the foliage and animals we saw from the van. It was an unforgettable experience for us, with magnificent views from the stops. Miguel knew just where to stand to get the best views, he took pictures, and was very polite. We highly recommend him.

Miguel was so knowledgeable. He made the experience amazing. Very interesting and the trip was well worth it.

We got stuck in traffic so our stops was short , and we didn’t know the tour was finished until we got closer to flagstaff
It was very disappointing tour .

Super professional, the tour guide Ed was a bundle of knowledge and made the experience enjoyable, I highly recommend the tour we will remember it for a long time😀
Melissa_M, Apr 2026
It was absolutely amazing and our tour guide was a blast! It was nice not to worry about driving or navigating.
Elizabeth_P, Apr 2026
Miguel was an excellent guide! Very informative about the ecosystem(s) we drove through, and shared lots of information about Navajo traditions & culture. It was a comfortable ride, which is important for a long day tour. The sights themselves were tremendous. No pictures will do it justice. Take a few photos, but just spend you time talking in the vastness.

Pictures taken from side windows will have a blue tint to them, due to the sunscreen. Fantastic guide.

Josiah is a great guide. He’s pursued more education about geology to provide a better tour. Knowledgeable and easy to work with. There is a long ride from Sedona to the Grand Canyon and back.
Where the tour stops for meals is at the discretion of the guide. Despite the fact that in the itinerary the tour is described as stopping at the Kickstand Kafe in Flagstaff for food the guide knew nothing about this. We wasted $40 ordering food to be picked up at the Kafe because we understood that the tour would stop there. Beware.

well planned trip and driving from place to place was done well. He was very informative and passionate about the Canyon. My only complaint was about him being a bit more patient with older people. At one point he said “come on people I park to make it the most convenient for you” . Most of us had never been there before and didn’t know where the closest bathrooms were so didn’t need that comment. Also didn’t like the sign in the van asking for tip quite blatantly after we paid alot of money for the trip!

Ed was a knowledgeable guide who deftly drove through canyons of Sedona and the rim of Grand Canyon with historically relevant stories the entire way. He was patient with a wide age range of tourists and made the day enjoyable. Not having to drive out and back made it that much more pleasant. The Grand Canyon is now crossed off my daughter’s bucket list.

Well rounded tour and guide knowledgeable. Lunch designed to be at 2pm. I’m 67 and need to eat before then. More time needed at south rim (30 more minutes). Glad you cater to those over 65 otherwise it would have been difficult. Also, glad we were able to return before 6pm! Thank you for it was magnificent and you were great.

A great way to experience the Grand Canyon. They take you to the best lookouts. You don’t have to navigate the park on your and you experience the knowledge of a professional
Sandy_H, Mar 2026
We had an amazing day. Our tour guide, Ed, was beyond wonderful. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and its history. The bus ride was easy and Ed made sufficient stops for restroom and stretch breaks. He also gave us plenty of time to do some hiking if we chose to and to take photographs. We met some wonderful people on our tour! We were all from different states which was also fun.
The only negative was that our itinerary said we would be stopping to pick up box lunches. That did not happen. We instead stopped somewhere ( don’t remember the name of it) that was a food court and we had to buy our lunch. The food was very goid, but we thought our lunch was included in the price of the tour.
Otherwise we had a very positive and wonderful experience!

Took a van with total of ten guests. Plenty of opportunities for bathroom breaks.
The guide was very good.

It was a wonderful experience to visit the Grand Canyon South rim in this tour. Our tour guide was friendly and sharing lot of information about the tribes, canyon, San Francisco peaks etc. The vehicle was comfortable. I will recommend this tour.
Kim_B, Feb 2026
Unfortunately we visited during the snowstorm of 2026. Flagstaff and the canyon closed due to snowfall and high winds. Our trip was cancelled. We have a reason to visit again!
Valerie_O, Feb 2026
Comprehensive coverage of geological and anthropological history as well as the breathtaking scenery. This was due to our extremely talented and knowledgeable guide, Miguel.
Miguel also was kind and thoughtful and clearly outlined the schedule, gave assistance when required and conducted an outstanding experience.
Theresa_M, Dec 2025
It was extremely helpful to book a tour to see the Grand Canyon. It helped us avoid spending half of our day, looking for parking spaces! Our tour operator, Avery, was very accommodating and informative! I would highly recommend his tour
drforkids, Dec 2025
Ed was really terrific! Full of interesting information and a lovely low key disposition.
Highly recommend!!!
Jacquelyn_B, Dec 2025
Fun! Josiah was very friendly and knew a lot about the Canyon, Sedona, and the natives. I learned a lot. Despite traveling solo, I always felt included in the group !
Jo_S, Nov 2025
Josiah did a great time as our Tour Guide. He is a smart man who entertained us throughout the day with his vast knowledge about the canyon and surrounding area. I would give him 5 stars. The only reason I gave the tour 4 stars was because the company advertised it as accessible and the van was not.
Jennifer_F, Nov 2025
Avery was a delightful, knowledgeable guide. Views and sights throughout the trip were incredible. Most memorable day.
Alan_S, Nov 2025

Diane_L, Oct 2025
Our tour guide was Ed. Ed was caring, kind, and made us feel very comfortable. In addition, he was so knowledgeable and personably.
His ability to relate to those on the tour was remarkable. He showed empathy to those of us that had a fear of heights. I would strongly recommend Ed to those considering a tour of the Grand Canyon.
We can't say enough about our guide Ed. He is remarkable.
Sincerely,
Blake & Diane Lowman

Miguel was one of the best guides that my husband and I ever went on a tour with. He was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. We had an amazing day at the Grand Canyon and came home with awesome pictures.
Therese_R, Oct 2025
Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and likable. He shared interesting information and stories that ended up meaning a lot to me. It was a special trip that included not one but two beautiful rainbows over the Grand Canyon. The drive both ways was comfortable and majestic. I highly recommend this tour. We loved every minute of it.
Joyce_J, Oct 2025
Wonderful tour. Our tour guide was Miguel. He was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the canyon. Miguel was very helpful as we entered and left the van at each stop. The only negative is that there is not enough leg room in the van.
Randolph_E, Oct 2025
Miguel was a wonderful tour guide! We learned a lot about the geology of the Canyon, plus a great deal about the Native American tribes of the area. Miguel cared about the comfort of his travelers which was appreciated. We'd highly recommend this tour. A great experience!
NOTE: Be ready for a long day, lots of walking & there is lots of uneven terrain on the trails around the rim of the Canyon. The tour van doesn't have a lot of legroom if you're really tall.
