We had a fantastic time. Brad our tour guide collected us promptly from our hotel. He has a wealth of knowledge about the history, legend and landscape of the drive from Flagstaff to Grand Canyon village. Great fun and thoroughly enjoyable
Enjoyed learning about the geological formation of the canyon and the native peoples. Easy and enjoyable
Brad was a great tour guide. He provided lots of background info on the Grand Canyon, the Native American settlements, and lots more. Dinner at the Pizza & Pasta place was excellent. We got some great photos of the sunset even though it was clouding up moments before. I highly recommend doing the sunset tour.
Brad was an EXCELLENT tour guide and provided not only exceptional service but invaluable information throughout the entire day! Seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time was spectacular and realty made us awe struck with its beauty !
Loved our tour guide Sheldon. Had a lot of knowledge on the Grand Canyon. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a great time.
This tour exceeded our expectations! A Grand look at the Canyon with several views from the East to South Rim. Our guide, Sheldon, was very knowledgeable and truly cared about what the group wanted from our visit.
What a Sunset!!
So glad we booked this tour!!
On the one hand this was an amazing tour around some of the Canyon's Southern high points, experiencing the best nature has to offer as the hues altered with the setting sun.
On the other, the day was seriously marred by a guide who at best could be described as eccentric but at worst could lead you to seriously question how he could actually be employed by the tour operator.
His talkative nature has been alluded to in other reviews but the essentially aggressive nature in which he tried to draw the visitors into his web, followed by an almost non-stop verbal barrage of the useful, the bizarre and the irrelevant is troubling. I have 2 hours of (highlight) recording on my phone which I only stopped when another traveller implored "Can we just have 5 minutes quiet please. Just 5 minutes...please."
There was also a general petulance to his manner when some people refused to dance to his every beat and in parts he was borderline rude or offensive.
All of this is a shame as there is no doubt that he does have a wealth of knowledge about the area, although at this particular point in time he isn't capable of imparting that reasonably. Maybe he blows high and low? He was also very helpful to everyone when the time to take pictures came and I have no doubt everyone's permanent records of the event will have been enhanced by the assistance he was able to offer.
I could go on at much greater length about his other eccentricities but it seems unnecessary. In the likely event that the tour company read these reviews, they must surely know who I am talking about and I would implore them to think about this. I cannot be the only person to have brought this up (6 of 8 passengers in our vehicle are in agreement and I suspect the other 2 are just polite) and maybe they should canvas opinion from other recent tours. I'm more than happy to pass on my audio record to confirm the situation should they respond to this review asking for it.
Didn’t think the guide’s approach was appropriate for the group. Too confrontational and not affable.
I was disappointed that many of my questions were not answered. Kevin, our guide, was aggressive and dismissive. He takes wonderful pics, however. Honestly, his main redeeming quality.
Please consider to send him for some trainings. I asked if the canyon was formed by water. He wasn't specific in his answer and didn't think it was formed by water. The brochure he gave the group -- had that info - "Did you know that?"
Lynn was the BEST!...very informative and passionate about what she does. We learned so much... not only about the Grand Canyon but other very interesting facts during the drive up to the GC and back home. Thanks so much Lynn!!
Great tour brought us to different areas away from the crowd gorgeous views. At sunset we were in the perfect place to see a beautiful sunset over the canyon. Dinner meal was great as well. Highly recommend this tour.
Would recomend this for first time visitors to the canyon , our guide was very knowledgeable and made our visit wonderful!!! The sunset was absolutly awsome!!!!!
