Amazing day, worth every penny, wonderful guide. Highly recommend! - Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) had the best day on this tour. We appreciated the comfort, flexibility, regular bathroom stops, and insider photo vantage points that this private tour offers. As first time visitors, we wanted to remove the stress of navigating and see/learn about the Grand Canyon together. The stops along the way made this tour even more special. It is a long day, but leaving early and being some of the first people at Wupatki was totally worth it. Such a beautiful and reverent place, and we had it mostly to ourselves. We also LOVED driving through the Sunset Crater area and seeing the incredible volcanic formations. Cameron Trading Post was delightful, with great food and amazing treasures made by native artisans. Our guide, Rasa, was knowledgeable, professional, and thoughtful. He helped our younger child, who is afraid of heights, feel comfortable the whole time we were around the Canyon. He also took us just slightly off the beaten path for wonderful photos in front of the Canyon, without throngs of people in the background. The other guides kept stopping him to wish him well, and to tell us we had the best guide. We didn't disagree! In response to another review, Rasa did talk a lot, but he consistently checked in with us to ask if we wanted him to continue or if we needed a break. He was so interesting and such a wealth of local knowledge that we didn't want him to stop! My entire family would wholeheartedly recommend Rasa and this tour company.

Worth doing - Our tour guide, Burton, was awesome. He was attentive to our family's interests and took time to answer questions and tell stories. Trivia was fun too.

Best Day Ever - Our trip was fantastic! Our tour guide, Cat, picked us up at our resort in Sedona then continued on to get 3 other clients in Flagstaff. We started as strangers and finished as friends. Cat was so knowledgeable as we drove thru the Grand Canyon. We had plenty of time at each stop to enjoy the beauty. Cat took the time to get to know us all. I highly recommend this tour and our wonderful guide Cat Miller.

Great tour and great guide to experience the Grand Canyon and area. - We are so glad that we booked this trip. Rasa was a great guide. He was punctual picking up our group of 8. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions with detail and humor. Lunch at the Cameron Trading Post was delicious. The stops along the way were informative and enjoyable. Rasa made sure we had enough time at each stop and that we knew exactly where and how to get the most out of each stop. We would highly recommend this tour and Rasa as your tour guide. It was an excellent value for the experience.

Great tour! - This trip was great! Our guide, Brian, was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us so much information about the history and geology of the area. He was a lot of fun and enjoyed answering everyone’s questions. The Grand Canyon is, of course, breathtaking and we had multiple viewpoints to see it from. The pace of the tour was also good. We had enough time at each location and never sat for too long between stops. I highly recommend this tour!

The very best of a day st the Grand Canyon - Our driver Brian masterfully guided 8 guests on a 10+ hour trip to the Grand Canyon. He patiently explained the logistics of the day but more importantly gave us valuable information regarding the historical, cultural and scientific aspects of what we saw. The atmosphere was light and friendly.A most enjoy and informative day thanks to Brisn
