My family of 4 (2 adults/2 teens) had an awesome tour around the Grand Canyon with Eric last week! He thought of everything- from snacks, to coffee, to chargers for our devices, to using a headset so everyone in the van could hear him. He taught us so much about the trees, animals, environment, culture, and history of the Grand Canyon. He had plenty to tell us on his own, and he also was very happy to answer our questions about anything and everything else Grand Canyon related. People not on the tour would hear him talking to us, and listen in (even asking questions a couple times), wishing they were also on the tour. Eric was professional, knowledgeable, and super responsive regarding pickup time/location, etc. We were also psyched that he provided us each with a nice pair of binoculars to use while on the tour. Eric also helped us plan what to do with the rest of our day, given our particular ages, abilities, and interests. I highly recommend this tour. PS: The lunch at the end was delish and not at a place we would've ended up on our own!

Eric has such a vast knowledge of the Grand Canyon. We learned so much on this tour! He provided very high-powered binoculars that allowed us to see details of the Grand Canyon we would've otherwise missed. The snack and drink bar was an incredible touch. He even provides hand warmers! Eric has really thought through every single detail to provide his guests with the best experience possible. And getting to spend time together at lunch allowed is to understand Eric's passion for the Grand Canyon and what has shaped the tour that he has so carefully crafted. 10/10 would recommend!
