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.

5.00The tour was amazing! It exceeded my expectations and even my 13yo son loved it! Werner was a wonderful guide, equal parts knowledgeable and entertaining. The views were stunning despite some smoke from a wildfire. What a magnificent creation! I’d totally suggest this to anyone, young or old. The setting sun on the rocks was awe-inspiring. And the elk, deer and horse were all cherries on the top! Do yourself a favor and book it!

4.00Colleen was a delightful guide on our tour! She was very informative and shared lots of interesting facts about our sunset tour. We saw several groups of elk then went to several overlooks before stopping at Grand View Overlook for an amazing sunset!
Excellent tour!

5.00This tour was incredible! We had Tyler as our guide. He was knowledgeable in explaining details I never would have thought of about the history of the area. He was funny with a never ending supply of Dad jokes (which my kids thought were hilarious). I would highly recommend. It is an excellent tour with lots of information packed into only 3 hours.
