Great guide - Eric was incredibly knowledgeable. Has really learned the Grand Canyon from the ground up. Much more than just showing you the great spots to see the canyon but also the history and the botany.

Great 101 highlights tour, no hiking. - Eric showed us several vantage points of the Grand Canyon South Rim and shared his extensive detailed knowledge at each point and along the way. He has lots of snacks to choose from and provided high powered binoculars so we could fully appreciate what we were looking at. He welcomes lots of questions and accommodates the guests. Great 101 high level tour, no hiking.

Wow! - Eric was an amazing guide. The first thing that set his tour apart from some others was the limit of ten people. His extensive knowledge of the area was impressive: history, plants, wildlife, geologic formations, minerals, climate, etc. His van was clean and well-organized, and offered the use of headphones and quality binoculars. He also provided thoughtful touches including a variety of snacks, drinks, tissue, hand sanitizers, and maps. The delicious lunch was the perfect ending to our morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Eric and highly recommend it.

Full service tour for those who really want to understand the Grand Canyon - Eric was organized, friendly, and informative. He knew so much about the Grand Canyon and took us to the best south rim spots to educate us and show us the best views. He supplies too notch binoculars for primo viewing well into the canyon. He provided snacks and drinks including hot fresh coffee that was better than the hotel coffee! He informed us about the geology, the flora and fauna, and the indigenous people of the area. The van was clean comfortable and organized.
Five stars in every way—-we also ended with a tasty lunch at a restaurant that allowed for multiple options….
Thanks Eric!

Amazing experience! - I took this tour yesterday and it was amazing! Eric was incredibly knowledgeable about the Grand Canyon, and I watched as other travelers were gathering close by to hear the plethora of information he was sharing. He covered early settlers impact on the development of the canyon, eco system evolvement, vegetation and wildlife. His genuine love for the area shows in his presentation. I was traveling solo and I felt safe the entire time. He was also very accommodating with a variety of refreshments and a delicious lunch supporting local business which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend booking this tour.

TRIP FROM HELL stay away from this Eric his a horrible man. - This man Eric who runs his own tour is the most arrogant young man we have ever come by. This trip was the worst tour ever. We were with 2 other people young on this trip from Texas I believe. My Uncle is a 93 old disabled Veteran and his life long dream was to see the Grand Canyon before he leaves this world. Yesterday what was supposed to be a fun day turned into a nightmare.
My Uncle had apparently developed a UTI and needed the van to stop at toilets as you can imagine he was on a strict tour his own van and 4 people. He had an accident voided in his pants due to not stopping. This Eric started right in on myself for not controlling the situation and how much he was going to charge for a deep cleaning of his van seat. That was one thing the worst was the embarrassment
He made us feel he got onto his loud speaker and asked does anyone know how to clean urine up of a seat. That caused the other couple to ridicule Uncle. All in all it was terrible he was saying in a loud voice at each stop why did you bother coming on this trip you’ve ruined my van.
My question is what would he do if a child thru up in his van .
All in all I would not recommend this nasty man to anyone the tour was awful. I have reported him to viator. It’s understandable at mid 40,s or 50 he has no respect for a veteran that served his country but if that’s the case he should never have taken our money.
We ended up after the tour going to a walk in clinic where they tested Uncle and have put him on antibiotics.
