Ed was a knowledgeable guide who deftly drove through canyons of Sedona and the rim of Grand Canyon with historically relevant stories the entire way. He was patient with a wide age range of tourists and made the day enjoyable. Not having to drive out and back made it that much more pleasant. The Grand Canyon is now crossed off my daughter’s bucket list.

Comprehensive coverage of geological and anthropological history as well as the breathtaking scenery. This was due to our extremely talented and knowledgeable guide, Miguel. Miguel also was kind and thoughtful and clearly outlined the schedule, gave assistance when required and conducted an outstanding experience.

Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and likable. He shared interesting information and stories that ended up meaning a lot to me. It was a special trip that included not one but two beautiful rainbows over the Grand Canyon. The drive both ways was comfortable and majestic. I highly recommend this tour. We loved every minute of it.

Grand, Grand Canyon tour

Sandra_S, Mar 2026

Amazing!

Nancy_V, Mar 2026

Well rounded tour and guide knowledgeable. Lunch designed to be at 2pm. I’m 67 and need to eat before then. More time needed at south rim (30 more minutes). Glad you cater to those over 65 otherwise it would have been difficult. Also, glad we were able to return before 6pm! Thank you for it was magnificent and you were great.

Great experience

Miki_G, Mar 2026

A great way to experience the Grand Canyon. They take you to the best lookouts. You don’t have to navigate the park on your and you experience the knowledge of a professional

Glorious day in the Grand Canyon

Sandy_H, Mar 2026

We had an amazing day. Our tour guide, Ed, was beyond wonderful. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and its history. The bus ride was easy and Ed made sufficient stops for restroom and stretch breaks. He also gave us plenty of time to do some hiking if we chose to and to take photographs. We met some wonderful people on our tour! We were all from different states which was also fun. The only negative was that our itinerary said we would be stopping to pick up box lunches. That did not happen. We instead stopped somewhere ( don’t remember the name of it) that was a food court and we had to buy our lunch. The food was very goid, but we thought our lunch was included in the price of the tour. Otherwise we had a very positive and wonderful experience!

Grand Canyon tour from Sedona

Teresa_G, Mar 2026

Took a van with total of ten guests. Plenty of opportunities for bathroom breaks. The guide was very good.

Excellent tour to the Grand Canyon South rim

Hemant_U, Feb 2026

It was a wonderful experience to visit the Grand Canyon South rim in this tour. Our tour guide was friendly and sharing lot of information about the tribes, canyon, San Francisco peaks etc. The vehicle was comfortable. I will recommend this tour.

Unfortunately we visited...

Kim_B, Feb 2026

Unfortunately we visited during the snowstorm of 2026. Flagstaff and the canyon closed due to snowfall and high winds. Our trip was cancelled. We have a reason to visit again!

A Moving Experience

Best way to see the Grand Canyon

Theresa_M, Dec 2025

It was extremely helpful to book a tour to see the Grand Canyon. It helped us avoid spending half of our day, looking for parking spaces! Our tour operator, Avery, was very accommodating and informative! I would highly recommend his tour

Ed was really terrific!...

Jacquelyn_B, Dec 2025

Fun! Josiah was very friendly and knew a lot about the Canyon, Sedona, and the natives. I learned a lot. Despite traveling solo, I always felt included in the group !

Awesome Wonder

Jo_S, Nov 2025

Josiah did a great time as our Tour Guide. He is a smart man who entertained us throughout the day with his vast knowledge about the canyon and surrounding area. I would give him 5 stars. The only reason I gave the tour 4 stars was because the company advertised it as accessible and the van was not.

Most Memorable Tour

Jennifer_F, Nov 2025

Avery was a delightful, knowledgeable guide. Views and sights throughout the trip were incredible. Most memorable day.

Diane_L, Oct 2025

Our tour guide was Ed. Ed was caring, kind, and made us feel very comfortable. In addition, he was so knowledgeable and personably. His ability to relate to those on the tour was remarkable. He showed empathy to those of us that had a fear of heights. I would strongly recommend Ed to those considering a tour of the Grand Canyon. We can't say enough about our guide Ed. He is remarkable. Sincerely, Blake & Diane Lowman

Best tour yet!

hankjean624, Oct 2025

Miguel was one of the best guides that my husband and I ever went on a tour with. He was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. We had an amazing day at the Grand Canyon and came home with awesome pictures.

Magical day!

Grand Canyon Tour

Joyce_J, Oct 2025

Wonderful tour. Our tour guide was Miguel. He was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the canyon. Miguel was very helpful as we entered and left the van at each stop. The only negative is that there is not enough leg room in the van.

Wonderful tour, knowledgable guide!

Randolph_E, Oct 2025

Miguel was a wonderful tour guide! We learned a lot about the geology of the Canyon, plus a great deal about the Native American tribes of the area. Miguel cared about the comfort of his travelers which was appreciated. We'd highly recommend this tour. A great experience! NOTE: Be ready for a long day, lots of walking & there is lots of uneven terrain on the trails around the rim of the Canyon. The tour van doesn't have a lot of legroom if you're really tall.

Avery was a great tour guide!

Ron_R, Oct 2025

This was a great tour that hit the major highlights of the South Rim. Avery is a great tour guide and very knowledgable. Highly recommend!

Scenic Views!!!

Bryan_T, Oct 2025

Great experience viewing the south rim of the canyon. Miguel, our guide, was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable in area history, Indian history, and the geological formation of the canyon. Not only did we see amazing views but learned so much along the way! We were even treated to a great flute serenade at an overlook! Great day and amazing memories!!! Thank you Miguel!

Avery was awesome!...

Donna_V, Oct 2025

Avery was awesome! Knowledgeable and engaging with all the people on the tour. Plenty to see and do. There was ample opportunity to use restrooms through out the day !

Convenient tour if you...

Anna_S, Oct 2025

Convenient tour if you have limited time and not planning to hike in the Canyon. We saw it from a multiple view points avoiding most of crowds. Small group is a plus, especially when we had free time. We did not like the lunch place recommended by the tour organizers.

The Grand Canyon was so...

Rex_O, Oct 2025

The Grand Canyon was so beautiful! Pictures don’t do it justice. I really enjoyed traveling with a small group. Our guide, Miguel, was so informative and fun to travel with.

Great tour of a natural wonder

David_R, Oct 2025

Tour was about 9 hours in total from Sedona and back. Tour guide Avery was awesome. Very informative, helpful with the seniors, and was flexible on plans.

Best way to spend the...

colerebekah90, Oct 2025

Best way to spend the day. Takes the guess work out of navigating, entrance fees, etc You see a lot in the time allotted Definitely worth it. Avery was a wonderful guide!

Take the trip!

Christy_D, Oct 2025

Great driver who was very knowledgeable and funny! Had plenty of time for pictures/videos! Van was comfortable with plenty of cool air.

Grand Canyon Day Tour

Hannah_T, Oct 2025

Great Grand Canyon tour! Our tour guide, Miquel, was so knowledgeable about the area and provided interesting facts and details. He was by far one of the best guides I have had on any tour. If you go request Miquel if you can. Super nice guy as well.
