The knowledge, enthusiasm and kindness of our tour guide, Werner, made this a great tour. It was clear he enjoyed what he does. The backroads getting into the park were great. Overall, extremely happy with this experience!

The guide, Werner, was absolutely incredible! So friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. Highly recommend! This was my first visit to the Grand Canyon and I learned so much and even though I am terribly afraid of heights, Werner was fantastic about where to go (step) and not push too far (ha ha on the pun) my limitations!

Our driver Mike was great. We enjoyed the off road part as it allowed us to see mule deer and lots of elk. The stops we made at the Grand Canyon were great views. And we had a great place to watch the sunset. It was a perfect tour. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Hi Colleen. We agree - Mike is an awesome guide. I will share your kind words with him. We are pleased that you were able to witness some of our local wildlife on the safari portion of the excursion and that you enjoyed the gorgeous Grand Canyon views. We hope to see you again soon!
