This was an absolute amazing care-free day. Burton was a wonderful caring man with a wealth of knowledge. He knew all the ins and outs of visiting the Grand Canyon. If you are in the Sedona area and want a way to see the beautiful area take this tour with Burton. We had no worries about parking, bathrooms or lunch.

Grand Canyon Small Group Tour

Susan_G, Apr 2026
Had an amazing day and we were thrilled to see so much. Our tour guide Ed was entertaining, knowledgeable and all around superb. Highly recommend this experience as we learned so much and were given tips and info that shaped the rest of our time in the area!

Great tour and explanations

Nancy_C, Apr 2026
Ezra was a terrific guide. We made many stops at lookouts where he explained and pointed out the various formations and their names. I liked coming into the Grand Canyon from the east entrance as it gave you a preview of how the smaller canyon grew and led to the Grand Canyon. My husband was ill and not able to go on the tour. This was a blessing in disguise as there was significantly more walking than expected or described and he would not have been able to see much without the long walks. I would not recommend this for anyone with mobility walking issues.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Nancy,  Thanks for your kind words for Ezra.  We will share your review with him.  We feel like our tour descriptions help guests select the best tour for themselves.  However, we have taken note of your commentary.

Was so worth it. Drive from Sedona is long. Still worth it! Tour guide Cat was super knowledgeable and full of knowledge.

Pleasant enough

Lee_S, Mar 2026
It's a very pleasant one day trip. The guide/driver is very knowledgeable, witty and entertaining. Please don't do it at the expense of Indigenous groups thou. More time is needed at the first stop as there is so much to see and 30 minutes is not enough time.

Best day!

Edna_W, Mar 2026
It is the best way to see the canyon especially for the first time or for seniors. Guides tailor the day to your needs.

Awesome Day at the Grand Canyon

KEVINM_F, Feb 2025
We had a great day with our tour person. Stanton was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day. We felt very well cared for at all times. The schedule throughout the day for us went very smoothly...I would recommend going through the week days when it's not too busy. We arrived back in Sedona at a great time, which gave us time to drive back to where we were staying before dark.

Great Experience
