Following a journey into ancient cultures and past geological occurrences, we’ll pause at the Navajo Nation Tribal Land, for a traditional Navajo meal (or American cuisine if preferred). Post-lunch, enjoy a bit of souvenir hunting for indigenous arts and crafts at the renowned Cameron Trading Post.

Totally enjoyable adventure for all ages!! - The tour guide was very informative and accommodating. The van was comfortable and we enjoyed stopping at the volcanic crater and Pueblo also.
The Grand Canyon was magnificent!! A must see tour if visiting Arizona.
It is so much easier than driving yourself.

Amazing experience - A wonderful way to see the Grand Canyon along with stops at Sunset Crater (to see the lava fields) and Wupatki National Monument (Pueblo village ruins).
Tour guide Jason was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and, as a long time resident of Sedona, he also gave us tips about local restaurants and roads to take to find the best views. Being picked up at our resort and the inclusion of a nice lunch at Cameron Trading Post was a definite plus! I highly recommend this tour.

Happy Journey! - Our tour driver, Chip, is a marvelous guide! He made the journey fun and memorable, even when our first Canyon stop was disappointing because of fog. But Chip’s sunny and positive manner seemed to change the weather and all turned out terrific! Thank you Chip! It turned out to be a Good day!

Grand Canyon June 2022 - Ask for Jessica, she was amazing and so knowledgeable and friendly. My mom is 81 and Jessica took great care of her. My 16 and 17 year old said it wasn't cheesy like other commercialized tours. It was a amazing and I was thanked by even my kids. The mix of activities/ stops, the smaller size of the group, and the food at the reservation made it all come together.

Loving the GC - Fantastic experience and Jessica our tour guide was amazing! She had so many interesting facts about the area, we were always learning something. She always kept us informed and pointed out the best places to see things.We thought we would try the GC on our own but so glad we did this instead! We met some great people as well. Definitely recommend this tour and Jessica if you can get her. P.S. She’s also a fantastic photographer!

Grand Day at the Grand Canyon - Our tour guide provided us with alot of information about the Grand Canyon and was very engaging. He pre-ordered lunch for us so the wait would not be long when we arrived at the restaurant. It was a great day knowing someone else would get us around the canyon in a timely fashion.
