Cat was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable And entertaining. she has a wealth of information all along the tour not just of the Grand Canyon. She played games to help all parties interact and get to know each other. Traveling by myself I sometimes feel like I could be left out of things. I was fully included in everything. The Grand Canyon was beautiful and far more than I expected. I highly recommend this tour. It’s much better than trying to drive yourself and figure out where you’re going. Bonnie

It’s a long day, but you’ll really see the Grand Canyon. Our guide, Cat, was wonderful: engaging, interesting, and kind. Absolutely worth the price.

Wonderful!

Erin_L, Apr 2025
We had Kirt. He was super nice, funny and incredibly informative. Great info on the geology, native and settler history. We watched the Canyon appear out of the clouds while it was snowing. It was unforgettable. The ruins and trading post were also great stops.

Best Day of our Week

Laurie_C, Apr 2025
Yancy was a fabulous tour guide, explaining so much of the geology and history of the park as well as accomodating passengers wishes. We so lucked out seeing the colors of the park and in the snow as well as sun. Perfect trip.

Eric_C, Jan 2025
My tour to the Grand Canyon was arguably the best of all the tours Ive taken on my cross country trip. Cat was an amazing tour guide who answered countless questions, had endless knowledge about the areas we visited and went out of her way to make her guests have a great time. I can guarantee you will have an equally great time if Cat is assigned your group.

This was a perfect way to see the Grand Canyon. Al was personable, had great stories and a safe driver. He was informative and made sure that we saw all the beauty in every stop along the way It was a cold, windy day but a fabulous experience.

Well worth our time and a great value!

Our guide, Charlie was exceptional! He shared so much interesting info throughout the tour. He is definitely well read on Sedona, Flagstaff, Oak Creek, Grand Canyon and much more.

Glorios Day Tour

Patricia_T, Oct 2024
Jeff was knowledgeable and friendly. So glad we had his experience tontake us to some of the less crowded areas. He eveb spotted a mule train that many of use found, a needle in the haystack. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to be outside experiencing the greatness of the Grand Canyon.

Fantastic

This is a must for everyone. Not having to worry about driving. The tour guide knew where to stop for pictures.

Rumination from the Rim

Lynette_E, Mar 2024
Ruminations from the Rim “A sundial is a living object. It needs no winding and is driven by no weight. It has something to say and it says it. It speaks about time never ceasing to recall the flight of time, its tragedy and irreversibility for men. The thoughts arise of earth, and the end of everything, of eternity, of the world beyond.” At first glance, the Grand Canyon may appear to be just a giant ditch with a bunch of air formed by water seeking the weakest point and collecting souvenirs along the way: Citrus Climate Cotton Cattle Copper However, to encounter the Grand Canyon is to experience a geological sundial, a topographical circle of striated rock stacked like a precarious Jenga game with inverted forests where desert meets plateau. If the Grand Canyon were a 24 hour sundial of the trail of time, dinosaurs would consume a mere 55 minutes and humanity solely 60 seconds. In a world composed of larks and owls; humankind is nocturnal in nature. But it’s always better to travel hopefully than to arrive.

Perfect intro to the area

Stacey_N, Jan 2024
The entire day felt customized and not the usual canned “tour.” Brad was great and very informative.

Awesome trip. Would suggest everybody take this tour.

Grand canyon tour

Linda_M, Apr 2023
The trip was amazing. Al, our guide and driver was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable about Sedona, Flagstaff, and the Grand Canyon. Al asked if anyone gets car sick and I said “i do” he said we would be going in a very scenic but winding road, but he went slowly around the turns so i didn’t get car sick. He also made sure he got our cell numbers in case we were late getting back to bus. Oh and he let me know by text when he would be Picking us up. I love your tours and your guides!

Amazing

Sharon_C, Oct 2022
Seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time was amazing! We were very comfortable in a temperature controlled large van with 10 people. Our guide, Brian was wonderful! He is a Navajo Indian and incorporated history with our tour. Very knowledgeable about the Canyon and surrounding areas. Thank you for a wonderful trip! SC

Our Tour Guide was the BEST

Del_Y, Sep 2022
This was the best tour we’ve ever taken because of the tour guide. He knew everything about the Grand Canyon and included amazing information about Arizona on the ride to and from. We were with 3 other couples and had a wonderful time together. Thank you Max for taking care of us on our first visit to Arizona and sharing so much fascinating information and fun stories. We enjoyed every minute! Del and Melissa Young from Minnesota. P.S. And thank you for getting my sunglasses back to me that I left in your van!!

Awesome wowza

The Grand Canyon is a must see! Van was comfortable, drive was scenic both ways, and the schedule, lunch spot, and view points were well planned.
