This is our first time to visit the Grand Canyon. We are spending 4 days here. We decided to do this tour on our first day. So glad we did. It helped us plan the rest of our stay. We had a great day. Jon was such a pleasant person to be with. He gave us so much information about plants, animals, rocks and how the canyon was formed. He was great to answer all our questions. He had great stories about the history of the canyon. He took us to such beautiful places to view the canyon and history at each point. We had a great lunch. Overall we would highly recommend this tour. Well worth the cost and the time. We shared our tour with another family. There was a total of 7 people on this tour. A small and personal tour. Again would highly recommend.

Great tour of the Grand Canyon

Priscilla_T, Apr 2024

Keaton, our guide, helped me find exactly the image I wanted of the Grand Canyon from the air, at a local museum. He answered all our questions and was very friendly and helpful.

Awesome Tour!

Canyon Cody was our guide. He was very knowledgeable of the area and history of The Grand Canyon. I would recommend anyone coming for the first time to go on this tour the first day of their visit. We saw so much of the Canyon and learned so much more than we did when we went by ourselves. Thank you Cody for a great time!!

It was truly amazing. The tour was very informative and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. We weren’t rushed at all at the different stops and could just enjoy the incredible views. Best way to experience the Grand Canyon! No one needs to drive and you don’t need to waste any time finding a parking space while getting a lot of interesting information about the Grand Canyon. Totally worth the money!
