Melissa_M, Feb 2024

We really enjoyed the tour and our experience with Eddie. We had clear communication throughout and the tour company catered to our needs. We appreciated the front door pick up (and Eddie was early!), the choices to stop where we wanted and the neat opportunity to see the south and east rim. We felt safe, guided and knowledge filled from start to finish.

A very memorable experience.

Super Family Fun

Robert_C, Dec 2023

We enjoied our guide Rod who was very friendly and knowledgeable. We feel we got more out of the experience with him than we ever would on our own. He made suggestions along the way that he felt our family would enjoy. He accomodated our kids well (8yo and 10yo) and developed a great raport with them. He guided us to the best places to take amazing family photos and even went out of his way to show us live elk in the wild. Great job Rod.

Personalised service and great flexibility.

Grand Canyon Trip

Charlene_C, Nov 2023

We had a great time. We ended up with a private tour and Troy made sure we had a great time. He planned it so we were leaving at dusk where we got to see deer and elk crossing the road. Troy was knowledgeable and a fun guy. Would definitely ask for Troy again. He even had Halloween candy for us since it was Halloween!

Best Girls trip to Canyons

Garima_A, Oct 2023

It was a great experience taking Canyons tour with my two other friends. We were three females but felt very safe and comfortable during the drive. Darian was so nice sharing about the AZ landscape, vegetation on our way. He customized the trip, made stops as we asked. He kept telling us about the history and uniqueness of the places. We entered via east and had best canyon views from 4 or 5 different spots. Darian is very patient and knowledgeable. We definitely recommend.
