We had a very full day, with several stops along the southern rim. Each stop had its own unique character, with the final location providing spectacular sunset views of the canyon. Our guide, Sheldon, provided a lot of information on the history, geology, flora and fauna of the area and timed our stops perfectly. The canyon experience was indescribable, more than I expected. We didn’t want to leave and stayed until the final sunset glow began to fade.

The weather was not cooperative. The tour operator changed up the tour as needed and it was a great experience.

Amazing trip! So many places, so beautiful. Dinner was very good. Steve was very informative. Incredible sunset. One cannot understand the dynamic of the Grand Canyon without actually seeing it in person.
Theresa_H, Dec 2024
Lots of driving but the view was worth it!!! Brad was a great guide. Super knowledgeable on all things Arizona. We had a guest that was behind schedule but he made sure that we didn’t miss the sunset. I recommend this tour to see the Grand Canyon from Sedona . If you are going in December it is really cold and super windy so dress accordingly.

This was an amazing experience. Stevee (yes that's spelt correctly) was the best tour guide! He was very funny and knowledgeable. The stuff he knew blew us away. He took us to spots that were less crowded. He even pulled over in the pitch dark for us to get out and see the milky way. It was incredible. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had the best views of the sunset over the canyon thanks to Steve. He was extremely knowledgeable. Great tour.

The tour was excellent and all the stops were well suited. Brad is an excellent tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and had all the answers to all questions asked. He provided detailed descriptions for the whole trip which we enjoyed. I would highly recommend this tour and Brad.

Our guide Brad was a wealth of information. He made us all feel comfortable and was accommodating in every way. Seeing the Grand Canyon with your company allowed us to do a condensed version but touched on all the highlights.
Katherine_M, Dec 2023
Each point we stopped at was beautiful and breathtaking! Our guide Steve was wonderful and very knowledgeable. So much fun!
Yetunde_O, Nov 2023
Our first trip to the Grand Canyon. We enjoyed every moment. Learning about the Hopi, Navajo, clan and the Grand Canyon view. Kurt was an excellent guide. We didn't get to do the Sunset due to the weather, however we did a similar trip. It was worth it. I recommend this trip.
Deborah_L, Nov 2023
What a wonderful and amazing experience! Brad was so thoughtful and knowledgeable. He took excellent care of us. The views took your breath away. I enjoyed all the stops we made at the different points of the canyon. We saw some elk on the way out! I highly recommend this tour! Hope you get Brad!!
Michelle_O, Oct 2023
Amazing tour! First time to the GC and the sunset tour is the way to go. Our tour guide, Brad, was very knowledgeable, engaged, and attentive. He shared a remarkable amount of history and geology on the ride from Sedona. I learned so much and got great pics, too. I highly recommend!!

Meredith_H, Jun 2023
I would highly recommend this tour. Brad was great! We had a fantastic time. The tour was both fun and informative.
Kimberly_D, May 2023
Brad was a great tour guide, providing a depth of understanding of the entire area from Sedona through Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon. We had a wonderful tour with our family. We truly appreciated Brad's professionalism in dealing with a very disruptive and critical man who left the tour, much to the relief of the remaining three groups , - who all had an amazing adventure. Viewing the Grand Canyon at sunset is beyond compare and Brad's insights into the Native American traditions and history made it even better.
Angela_K, Apr 2023
An experience we will never forget! So tranquil and relaxing . Our guide , Brad , was so informative every moment of our excursion. . His respect and appreciation for the Native American culture and surroundings was soooo appreciated and we learned so much ! Thank you for making our adventure one to remember :)

This was a very fun, enjoyable, educational, and beautiful day! We couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and personable guide. The scenery was breathtaking, the dinner delicious and the sunset beautiful!

Our guide was excellent, but the tour spent way too much time going out of the way to the Cameron trading post. Initially they stated the tour was at 10:00 am. The day before, we were notified departure would be 11:30. We did not arrive to the grand canyon until after 3:30. Literally 1/2 of our day gone! We were told when purchasing tickets we would have a choice as to where we eat inside the park. I told the rep then, we wanted to eat a healthy meal at a restaurant inside the park. She told me we will be able to choose wherever we want to eat as a group. We expected to eat in a restaurant! Instead the guide stopped at a convenience store just outside the park and strongly suggested we get our food here and picnic at the GC. No one wanted that! Then, we went to three quick stops inside the park to view the GC. Then it was time for dinner. We were then TOLD where we were going to eat! A bar! Food was terrible - just burgers/sandwiches. ALL very spicy! Only 2 sides offered-spicy cole slaw, spicy potato salad! CHEAP, CHEAP , CHEAP. There was a restaurant right there in the same building that was literally just a couple dollars more for a complete healthy meal. I ask the guide why can we not eat there? Too expensive he said! Seriously, $2 more?
We paid $229 each for this trip, spent half the day driving out of the way to a rip off trading post, got to see 3 quick views of the canyon, then an inedible sandwich, and finally around 6:45 got to a view to spend 45 minutes viewing the canyon and sunset. That 45 minutes was magnificent!!! Then it was dark and back to the van for the 2 & 1/2 hr ride back to Sedona.
Don’t take this tour if you want to see the grand canyon! Take a tour by another group that does not mislead you! This is a trading post tour with the GC sunset as a side note. Had we not had such a magnificent guide, who educated us about the entire area, we would have had a very boring day except for the little time we were viewing the grand canyon. This company needs to cut out the trading post and give people what they pay for! I cannot recommend! Our awesome guide needs to work for another company!
Total time viewing the canyon was under 2 hrs out of a 10 hour day.
Russell_P, Aug 2022
Brad our guide. His knowledge of the area, people, and history of the Grand Canyon we're things we would not have know if we would have done a self guided tour.
Pam_B, Aug 2022
The whole trip was amazing! Our guide , Lliam (Brad), was very a tune to our needs and a wealth of knowledge! I believe he played greater part in our whole experience.
Rod_T, May 2022
Steveebe is a walking or rather a driving encyclopedia. Great Guide. He really brought the trip to life.
Hank_G, May 2022
Every stop we made had it’s own beauty and experience. Watching the sun set against the walls of the Grand Canyon is beyond words. The changes in color was just magnificent! There is so many positive comments that could be made and so many beautiful pictures one can take, but they don’t compare to the experience of standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon.
Tom_T, May 2022
Awesome scenery, and our guide was top notch. (Steve) His knowledge of the canyon and area in general was phenomenal.
david_z, May 2022
Truly amazing. Every stage of the tour. Steve was so friendly and knowledgeable. He also took amazing pictures of us. Just a pleasure!
