This trip ultimately was a fabulous history lesson. Our guide, Brian L. was extremely informative, and we learned a great deal about the geology and history of the area. This particular tour is primarily spent traveling in the van. There are several opportunities to explore, and the areas are beautiful and historical. You do get several opportunities to view and stroll along the rim of the canyon, and explore the visitor center; however, if you were looking to do some hiking, this is not the trip for you.

This is a great way to see the Grand Canyon if traveling solo. The views are fantastic & you will learn a lot from your tour guide.

Excellent tour. Guide is very knowledgeable
Explained geology, history of Grand Canyon
Bus was very clean and comfortable
Our guide always described any activity explained any modifications- walking thru Lava Field as an example. This allowed each individual to choose how and if they would participate. He suggested how long each stop could be and asked us for our input.
Enjoyed the tour very much.

Our multi-generational family was in town for a wedding and wanted to see the Grand Canyon without the hassle of driving multiple cars. Sheldon was very solicitous to creating a bespoke experience. Each of us remarked how we learned something new - those that have been to the Grand Canyon multiple times and those seeing it for the first time. Sheldon checked in frequently and enabled us to pivot when a fussy baby needed a longer break. The views were enhanced by the knowledgeable guide, Sheldon.

Our tour guide, Bob, was wonderful. He shared his knowledge of the area and was able to answer any questions we had. He was gracious and friendly. He absolutely MADE our trip to the Grand Canyon an amazing experience.

My husband thought the grout guy Alan was wonderful . He gave us so much information about the area n Grand Canyon.
The group was really nice !
The only thing we felt was our lunch was rushed n maybe the last 40 minutes could be 30/25 minutes.
Otherwise it was fabulous and thank you Alan

Our tour guide was AMAZING ! She was extremely knowledgeable! She alone made the trip AMAZING! Grand Canyon is Beautiful!
Sallie_L, Jun 2021
I’m sorry, but this tour was a mistake. It was 115 degrees and we hit every single rim on the south Canyon. It was miserable.
We were supposed to have lunch included, but reservations were never made, and we ate outside.
Our tour guide talked Non stop. Which is great, but we had very little peace to just take in what is supposed to be sacred views. He was in most of my photos too, and he gave me a headache.
I’m sorry we ever booked this.

Not only did we view the Grand Canyon from several different areas, but we learned history and interesting facts from our guide/ driver. He was fantastic. The canyon visit was amazing in itself but we also visited Sun Crater to see the results of a fairly recent volcanic eruption and we visited Wupatki Monument, ruins of an early pueblo that is extremely significant. Great tour! I highly recommend it!

Chris was an awesome tour guide. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge and shared it with wit and humor. The pace of the trip was really nice with enough time given to take pictures and view the sites. I had taken a Grand Canyon trip the other year from another company and the tour guide just drove us to the sites and didn't give any info. I would highly recommend this travel agency if wanting to do more than just see the sites, but learn a bit along the way.
