5.00Eric is extremely knowledgeable about the canyon. He was on time when he picked us up at our hotel. He provided binoculars and drinks/snacks during the tour. I highly recommend Eric’s tour!
Amazing Tour and Guide!!!

5.00We had the absolute best experience touring the Grand Canyon with Eric! By sheer timing, our visit happened to fall on the very first day of the government shutdown, which meant there were no crowds at all. It felt like we had the park completely to ourselves—a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Eric made it even more special with his knowledge, passion, and sense of humor. He shared fascinating insights, pointed out hidden gems, and made sure we didn’t miss a single breathtaking view. His love for the canyon and for guiding really came through, and we felt like we were exploring with a friend rather than just a tour guide. We couldn’t have asked for a better day—spectacular views, peace and quiet, and a guide who made the Grand Canyon come alive. If you’re thinking about booking a tour, do it with Eric—you won’t regret it!
Good overall impression of the Grand Canyon

5.00Eric was an excellent guide, full of knowledge & facts. He called to say he would be a few minutes late. He’s very personable & made sure everyone’s needs were met( some people had difficulty walking). He was also patient when explaining the use of binoculars. It was a great tour. I highly recommend it!
Great 101 highlights tour, no hiking.

5.00Eric showed us several vantage points of the Grand Canyon South Rim and shared his extensive detailed knowledge at each point and along the way. He has lots of snacks to choose from and provided high powered binoculars so we could fully appreciate what we were looking at. He welcomes lots of questions and accommodates the guests. Great 101 high level tour, no hiking.
