Grand Canyon tour and beyond

Veronique_J, Apr 2024

This tour is actually more than the Grand Canyon. It is actually a loop from Flagstaff and back, through Williams, the Grand Canyon, and Cameron. It is a big tour so we only did part of it. You can start anywhere. It also gives you historical facts and guides you to visit off-the-beaten-path places, which is always worth it. We recommend it!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We're delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the tour's flexibility to start and finish anywhere along the tour route, and hope to join you on another road trip in the future.

Great way to see the Grand Canyon!

T_D, Apr 2024

This is our second audio tour (Kauai was our first) and they are the best way to see favorite sites like this. The commentary was informative and enlightening. The turn by turn directions (with distances) was incredibly helpful and we always knew where we were. This is a must-do tour if you want to see the sites on your own. Can't wait for the next one!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

An Excellent Investment

Douglas_M, Apr 2024

The Audio Driving Tour of the Grand Canyon South Rim was an excellent investment. The informative and insightful narration began well before we entered the park, continued throughout our tour of the park, a provided a brief history of the formation of the park as we exited. It even offered recommendations of sights to see, places to stop, and activities to participate in. I'm looking forward to utilizing other audio driving tours in the future.

Beware!!!!

Valerie_B, Nov 2023

Tried to order this while at the lodge in the Grand Canyon and had trouble down loading as their system was up and down. Then when I got it it would not let me sign in. Called and no help. My sister also purchased and had same issues. Called again & no resolution. Never got either one. 😡 wasted $24!!!!!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi Valerie. We don't control internet signal in order for you to download the tour content ready for offline use. Our records indicate you redeemed using your google email but signed in using a different Apple ID email. We didn't receive any calls for support on our toll free number but suspect you were trying to call Viator (OTA/reseller) and not ourselves. Please reach out info@guidealong.com so we can resolve.
