Eric was very knowledgeable, pleasant and his van was very comfortable. Was a great experience even ending with a great meal request included in our tickets.

Eric gave us an amazing personalized tour of the park and a sunset spot! He was super knowledgeable about the local area and showed us things we wouldn’t have found on our own. His van was top-notch - it had WiFi, chargers, snacks, blankets, hand warmers, and more! This is definitely the best tour in the area. It’s a small group experience, unlike most of the big group tours. If you’re looking for a more personalized and upscale experience that the big group tours like hummers and jeeps can’t and won’t do, this is it! Plus, it’s much warmer and smoother inside the heated van compared to the open-air jeeps and hummers that you’re freezing and bouncing all around in! It was worth it and a great experience! Thanks for a fantastic tour, Eric!

An exceptional fun tour with Eric! He has a wealth of knowledge about everything GC including history, plants, animals, birds . . . He chose such beautiful vistas for viewing. The last was at sunset and was absolutely breathtaking!!! His van is super comfortable, equipped with wifi and a bevy of snacks and drinks! Dinner as a local restaurant capped this perfect evening off. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this tour! Thank you Eric!
