Grand Canyon Nov 2025 - Truly loved this experience. Eric shares his knowledge of the history of the Canyon, the geology, wildlife, trees & flowers, architecture, etc., and the influences the Native American cultures have had over the years. At each stop, people would lean in to listen and he never hesitated to answer their questions as well. Highly recommend!

Great tour! - This tour was really interesting. Even if iffy weather (rain, wind, snow, and sun), the tour views were incredible. Eric is very knowledgeable and was super kind and helpful with my dad (who had an oxygen concentrator that needed to be plugged in and some mobility issues). His van is comfortable and tricked out with all the snacks and drinks you could want. Lunch was so yummy! Great trip!

This tour is the real deal!!! - Eric picked us up promptly at our hotel! The day just got better from there! We picked up the rest of the group and set out. Everything was outstanding from start to finish. The van was packed with all kinds of snacks, beverages Wi-Fi, phone charging stations and top notch binoculars!! The tour ended with a stop for lunch at a phenomenal pizza eatery. If New Yorkers enjoy the pizza, it’s got to be good!!!! Eric is extremely knowledgeable about the area and passionate about pleasing his customers!! Wish we had more time to do his sunset tour!!! Definitely highly recommend!!

Eric is an expert! - Eric was our guide. His in depth knowledge of the geology, history, and plant life is extraordinary. And he was a pleasure to do business with. He texted in advance to confirm the details, and picked up in front of our hotel 10 minutes early. He also provided binoculars and was able to point out volcanic and other rock formations, the path of the Colorado River, and structures that have been built over the last century. I was particularly impressed with his knowledge of. the history—who were the major players that founded the park, who were the wealthy benefactors, and who were the artists that made it famous.

Great value- Friendly Guide who shared a wealth of information! Well worth your time and money. - Eric was an amazing guide. We learned so much about the history of the Native people and those who settled the area throughout the development of the park. The geology facts had my inner geek squealing. Full service included pick up at our hotel, snack bar, beverages and lunch. Worth every penny.
