We didn’t have a lot of time for the Grand Canyon, so we chose this self-guided tour to visit on our own schedule. The stories about the Canyon and its history were very interesting and the guide is entertaining. We will be looking for more of these as we continue on our road trip!

This was our second GuideAlong self-guided tour. These tours are excellent! We were able to go at our own pace and stop at what we wanted to see. The commentary was informative and entertaining. We highly recommend these self-guided tours and will use them again.

The audio guide was easy to use and we really enjoyed that it started and stopped according to our location. The additional information/stories given were very informative and entertaining, especially during the less interesting parts of the drive. It was like having a guide in the car with us! Would definitely recommend and use this service again.

We are well traveled people so we just needed to be told about the highlights with directions. Then we were one our way. It is perfect if you don’t want to join a group tour.

Amazing way to drive yourself through the Grand Canyon for your own private tour. You can go at your own pace and choose where to stop instead of being stuck with a group
