Our tour guide, David, was exceptional! His knowledge of the area, Arizona and the Grand Canyon was incredibly informative! His driving skills were great and was easy to converse with! He took us to several spots with different views of the canyon. Loved the trip! We will request him next trip!

Chad_C, Apr 2026
Amazing day at the Grand Canyon! Our guide David was exceptional giving us a thorough tour of south rim and some hiking. Also had time for gift shops and taking lots of photos of all the breathtaking views…highly recommended!!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you! It was a pleasure meeting you. Have fun!!

Wonderful experience!

David greeted us right on time and made us feel comfortable immediately. He brought a cooler full of snacks, fresh fruit and waters, and told us if we needed anything to let him know. We all felt great about him from the start. He shared so much knowledge about Arizona on the drive up, and stopped when we needed a break. When we arrived, he brought us to all the best spots of the canyon! We walked around for about an hour, then ate lunch at a restaurant on site. (He made reservations for us!) After lunch we had time to visit the gift shops. David then took us to see a few more views before we finally headed back for the day. We had a fantastic day with him, and learned so much. All 6 of us in our group would highly recommend doing this experience with David. He was truly wonderful!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank You! Thank You! I appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure spending the day with all of you. Please come back and let me share more of Arizona with you.

First time family visit

What a great way to see the Grand Canyon for the first time! Thank you David, our guide, for being so personable and making it so memorable with your knowledge and love of showing us around the best spots. Enjoyed it very much and highly recommended!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you so much! I'm glad the weather was clear. It was a beautiful day.

Great trip and a must do

Moira_T, Nov 2024
My sister and I haven’t been to the Grand Canyon since we were kids. This trip back brought so many memories. There are no words to describe the scenery. David, our guide was great! We enjoyed conversation on the ride to and back and he provided some great insights and details during the tour. Highly recommend!!

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much, it was a pleasure meeting you both. Have fun! Come visit again.

An Excellent Way to See the Grand Canyon

Craig_N, Nov 2024
David is a personable, knowledgeable guide who really enhanced our first experience seeing, and appreciating, the grandeur of the Grand Canyon. He very graciously accommodated a short notice request to reschedule our tour due to the illness of one of our family members. One of us also has mobility issues. David was patient and sensitive to adjust the pace to make it a wonderful, engaging and comfortable experience for all of us. And to those who might think it's not worth the driving time to visit the Grand Canyon, because it's just a "big hole in the ground", that would be a mistake. It truly is a geological, historical and visual wonder to behold.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you, Craig, it was a pleasure to meet you and your family. Thank you for the kind words. I hope to cross paths again someday. David

Simply spectacular

Angela_C, Mar 2024
Snow and thick, heavy fog when we got to the canyon, and then it just cleared giving us the most amazing sight! David is an excellent guide and made our trip extra special.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

What a day, thank you for the review. I look forward to seeing you for more.

Wonderful

Sarmad_A, Mar 2024
David was exceptional. Beautiful tour. Very comfy drive and ride. He’s a wealth of knowledge. Our only regret is we didn’t spend 2 days there but that was just our schedule limitation. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Jul 2024
