For the ultimate experience - You could go on you own and you will have the experience of a lifetime. But I recommend this tour because you will learn so much about how the canyon was formed, the history of the area, the vegetation, and the wildlife. It picks up from most local hotels and you get to see even more while being driven.

Fantastic tour - John was a wonderful guide. I was the only person so I was concerned I would get a tour that was rushed but John was great and gave a great tour!

See and hear all there is to know (or a lot of it) about the Grand Canyon - Keaton was born to tell the story of the Grand Canyon. A great guide. He has to drive to and from Flagstaff (90 minutes each way) but did not rush us in the least on the six-hour tour.

Great scenery and safe trip on the rim - Great experience with knowledgeable guide. Thank you Keaton for taking us to memorable places and keeping us safe. Many places without fences, most actually, we were able to avoid and still see the great scenery. Good restaurant and enough restrooms on the way. Very informative story and even handouts with relevant facts. Thanks

We wanted our... - We wanted our grand-girls, 11&14, to see and learn as much as possible in the 1-day we were going to be at the Canyon. The tour allowed us to sit back and enjoy the Canyon and not deal with the logistics of navigating ourselves through the park. So stress-less!! Best of all, our guide, Keaton, was full of interesting facts and able to answer our questions as well.
