Driver-Travel Guide was most accommodating, courteous and professional. Pickup and drop off were timely.
Satarupa_D, Mar 2024
This was a wonderful small group (5) trip with Lankun aka mama. She is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful personality! She made the trip so much enjoyable. She gave us information, took our pictures, and stayed with our group the entire time. She was extremely encouraging and helpful and without her help I would not have been able to climb the rocks that I did!
Another thing very helpful was that she texted with me all information the night before. I was traveling by myself. She answered all my questions. This was very important to make me feel comfortable about the trip.
I recommend her tour to all!!

Brilliant tour. Our driver Chris made it one of the most enjoyable tours I have been on. His knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail was incredible. His
social skill and sense of humour all added to the experience. He gave plenty of good tips during the tour and ensured the safety of the group was his priority at all times. Great job Chris

Our guide, Matt, was wonderful! He made everyone feel welcome and told interesting facts all through town and in the parks. Mother Nature didn't cooperate at the Canyon, but that's no one's fault and he was so apologetic about it. He was a safe and efficient driver, too. Thanks for a wonderful day. I'd highly recommend!

Would highly recommend the hoover dam and west rim tour. The skywalk is a must. Our tour guide Wally was the BEST!!! He was so informative and kind. He gave the best advice on how to maximize your time at each site, it made the whole experience that much better. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Being able to be driven in A/C comfort with great commentary enabled us to view the amazing landscapes in Nevada and Arizona for both the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam (as well as drive through Joshua Tree National Park).
Participating in the Skywalk out over the edge of the Grand Canyon at Eagle Point is an absolute must (but get in there early or there will be a huge line; we only had to wait 15-20mins). Splurge and buy the photos the professionals take (you can not take ANYTHING with you on the Skywalk including your own phone). You can buy 1 picture for $25 or 8+ personal pics PLUS 8-12 stock Grand Canyon pics that are just gorgeous - I recommend paying the $50 for all the personal and stock pics they are well worth it!
You’ll be hard pressed to fit in Eagle Point (Skywalk , and sit down lunch with view of the Canyon - which is super fast 20 mins and we were out the door), Guano Point and Hualapai Point all in the 2.5 hours at the Canyon.
Guano Point is one of the best for your own picture taking with a vantage point of the Colorado River. Hualapai Point is not as good for picture taking unless you have time to do the 25 minute hike to the edge. It has a very small
Western replica town with a “trading post” for gifts, an art gallery, a shooting gallery, small restaurant and light refreshments (although we were disappointed that several things were not open).
Hoover Dam was amazing but extremely hot in the setting western sun which it made it hard to take pictures after 3:30pm. Make the time to walk the bridge and be in two places at once (Nevada/Arizona state line on the top of the dam).
Overall fantastic trip with a great guide and driver who gave us tips and was just so courteous and friendly…. I highly recommend this tour as you are in a comfortable small van with a maximum of 14 people.

Excellent tour guide made the whole experience alot of fun, and kept us active, which is what we wanted. Ample opportunities to take pictures and also a great photographer. Would highly recommend.
