5.00We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Cat. She gave us education on the sites, history, and geology on our way from Sedona to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and back. We had a small group and she was very flexible in accommodating the needs and preferences of the participants. She made us feel welcome and made our first trip to the South Rim very memorable. Thanks for a great experience!!!
Once in a lifetime experience

5.00From the moment we stepped on the bus, Stevie B was a most exceptional guide to a place like no other. Steve made the drive up interesting with his expert knowledge. And the Canyon itself is hard to imagine. Each stop brought more and more of the canyon into focus. As a private tour, Steve was very accommodating in tailoring our experience to our exact desires, I cannot recommend this enough!
Fantastic Tour and super fantantic guide, Charlie.

5.00The experience was fantastic from the initial booking to the final drop off back to the hotel. Charlie T, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the vegetation and history of the area. He was well organized and looked out for every passenger. I was called several times before the trip to remind me to wear layers and re-confirm the pick-up hotel. The many stops for viewing the Canal and local high points were exceptional. I highly recommend this company and its personnel and especially the guide, Charlie, for a memorable experience.
This tour was well worth...

4.00This tour was well worth the money. The Grand Canyon views were breathtaking and beyond anything ever described or seen online about them. I would recommend however asking passengers if they want a quiet ride, semi quiet, or if they want nonstop 6 hours of information. I would also recommend asking passengers if they have had a cold recently and suggesting masks if they are under the weather. There were a number of passengers coughing and sniffling on the van and with covid still around it was unnerving. All in all we made it safely to the canyon, had a tasty lunch, and made it back safely.
Amazing Experience

5.00Rasa was our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable in botany, geology, and the area in general. I’m so happy we went with a tour guide. We saw so many different landscapes that we would not have seen if we would have went on our own.
