What To Expect
Grand Canyon South Rim
Voted best and most captivating 3 hour Sunset tour at Grand Canyon. Informative, local guides describe Grand Canyon geological formations, Native American history, mule and hiking trail systems, and the rich history of this region. Includes Tusayan pick-up, south entrance gate detour during 30 minute off-road excursion, viewing of native wildlife such as elk, deer and rare bird species in their natural environment; culminating at Grandview Point where the fading sunlight turns the Canyon into a kaleidoscope of colors.
Yavapai Point
See magnificent vistas, Colorado River and Phantom Ranch.

5.00We had an incredible tour - such a great way to experience not only the highlights of the Grand Canyon but also some of the lesser-known areas tucked away in the forest. Our guide, Mark, was fantastic: insightful with all the details he shared and wonderfully accommodating in helping us capture photos that will make this a lasting memory for my son and me. Thank you and I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the Grand Canyon!

5.00Tyler is amazing, thoughtful funny knowledgeable and attentive. He knows a lot about animals but we only saw elk ( we did see babies)! Was hoping to see condors! It gets cold once sun goes down. Sunset was really nice
