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.

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.

Absolutely amazing!

Debra_B, May 2026

Our guide was wonderful he explains so many things to us gave us plenty of stops he missed our Connecting Point once and he came back and got us and he was really kind, we felt terrible! The Experience itself is just hard to describe because it was so incredible pictures simply don't tell you what it's about. I hope everyone gets to go at least once in their lifetime. You can go when you're young and able to make some of the climbs and Hike some of the trails that would be even more wonderful

Excellent Tour

BeatrizCuencaBarberi, May 2026

We had an amazing time and we learned a lot about the area, its history and the various tribes that settled in the area. Lisa was a wonderful guide who shared her love of the region and its people. She answered everyone’s questions and seemed partiste about her job.

Great tour guide, Ed....

John_N, May 2026

Excellent experience

Jerry_E, May 2026

Sedona to Grand Canyon Tour

Ann_N, May 2026

Wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon with our tour guide Avery. Trip was a total of 10 hours in air conditioned van for eight and we all had.window seats. Avery was very knowledgeable about the area and very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend.

Amazing!

Kathleen_R, Apr 2026

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

Obied_B, Apr 2026

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 .

Just do it

Todd_S, Apr 2026

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😀

Amazing!!

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.

First time Grand Canyon visitor, and I will come again!

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.

Wonderful tour and great guide.

Linda_T, Apr 2026

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

Josiah is a great guide. ...

Anne_H, Apr 2026

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.

Fabulous Tour of the Grand Canyon

Suzanne_F, Apr 2026

well planned trip and...

Ilene_L, Apr 2026

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!

Grand, Grand Canyon tour

Sandra_S, Mar 2026

Amazing!

Nancy_V, Mar 2026

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.

Great experience

Miki_G, Mar 2026

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

Glorious day in the Grand Canyon

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!

Grand Canyon tour from Sedona

Teresa_G, Mar 2026

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

Excellent tour to the Grand Canyon South rim

Hemant_U, Feb 2026

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.

Unfortunately we visited...

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!

A Moving Experience

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.

Best way to see the Grand Canyon

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

Ed was really terrific!...

drforkids, Dec 2025

Ed was really terrific! Full of interesting information and a lovely low key disposition. Highly recommend!!!

Fun! Josiah was very...

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 !

Awesome Wonder

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.

Most Memorable Tour
