5.00Amazing tour! We were unsure of how to tackle the immensity of Grand Canyon with such a tight schedule. Spending a half day with Molly was exactly the way to do it! With a degree in geology and great love for nature, the day with her was not only educational but inspiring. She was a delight. Taking us to many viewpoints and showing us things up close through her scope left us feeling like we saw as much as we could without having to hike down into the canyon. We highly recommend this tour!
Fantastic day with Cory

5.00I can’t imagine a better guide to the Grand Canyon than Cory. He showed us so much more than we were expecting and fielded every question we could throw at him (and there were a lot). The visuals are of course amazing, but with Cory’s added cultural, botanical and geological perspectives, the whole experience was elevated. I would 100% recommend this.

5.00My boys and I had the pleasure of spending the day touring the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park with Molly. She is an incredible guide with a wealth of knowledge about the history, wildlife, rock formations, theories and facts amongst a plethora of other information on the state of Arizona. Molly’s familiarity with the region and time spent to ensure our itinerary was planned to perfection were evident by how smooth our day went from beginning to end. Her communication was prompt and thorough from booking to shipping my sunglasses back that I left behind in the van. Molly packed an amazing variety of snacks from crackers, fresh fruit and artisan cheeses to all the goodies my boys could desire! She was attentive to all our needs and desires helping to make the best memories for us! Above & Beyond was worth every penny and I would absolutely book a tour with them again! Thank you for everything, Molly!

5.00Me and my better half and our son went on the above tour with Corey Lander. Corey was an exceptional tour guide and has vast knowledge of the Grand Canyon. He used his telescope to show the real Grand canyon including the Colorado river and mind blowing sights in the canyon. Time very well spent and an unforgettable tour. Thank you, Corey once again.
Highly recommended; Knowledgeable and seamless.

5.00I could NOT imagine a more prepared, knowledgeable and friendly tour experience. Every detail was seamlessly handled, from comfortable transportation to well-timed stops at viewpoints. Our guide, Cory, shared insights on geology, flora/fauna, history, and local hints. I highly recommend this tour.
Great trip to the Grand Canyon!

5.00My husband and I did a private tour of the South rim with a hike down the Grandview trail. Molly picked us up from Under Canvass and was a fantastic guide. She came prepared with everything we could need such as snacks, drinks, trekking poles, sunscreen. She was a wealth of knowledge and had excellent recommendations. She was very responsive questions when planning this trip. She was flexible and willing to adjust tours based on our abilities and desires. We highly recommend using Above and Beyond!
The Grand Canyon with Molly is the best way to experience it!

5.00Molly was an amazing guide! It was an unbelievable day experiencing the Grand Canyon for the first time with her. She taught us so much and made us laugh the whole day. We can not recommend booking this tour enough. I wish we could give it more stars!

5.00Molly McKee is a delightful young woman who has been a Grand Canyon guide for more than 15 years. She studied geology and is able to explain the place in a way that non-scientists can understand. Beyond the facts that one expects, she’s a lot of fun to be with. She enthusiastically shares her love for the canyon, and knows just how to avoid the crowds.

5.00I seldom write reviews for trips I took. This tour was very much worthiness. We were glad that we made the best choice to the Grand Canyon. We were very happy to have Cory as our guide. He is friendly, humorous and knowledgeable about Grand Canyon. He brought us to various points to see the glamourous views. We enjoyed our lunch in El Tovar Dining Room. The snacks and fruits basket he prepared looked like a Christmas Hamper which was very impressed. My daughter liked the cookies and potato chips very much.
Best experience ever
