Educational canyon tour, loved it! - Incredible tour! We learned about history of the area, geology, local flora and fauna, saw many different formations in the canyon, etc. Everybody got a pair of binoculars to use during the tour stops, incredible views. Eric was a great guide! The sunset view at the end was beautiful, and he had plenty of blankets and hot chocolate to keep warm as the temperatures dropped. Would highly recommend!

Brought you to several... - Brought you to several spots that would be very difficult to get to on your own. Eric was extremely knowledgeable and communication prior to the tour was excellent. Pickup and dropoff was very convenient and hassle free. Dinner was a very nice touch and well done.

Well worth it - highly recommend!!! - The length of the tour was more than adequate! Eric's knowledge of the Grand Canyon was amazing; covering the areas history, the wildlife, the flora and fauna, as well as, the history of current and past events of the Grand Canyon Village and beyond! The sunset was truly amazing, followed by a wonderful dinner with our tour group and Eric 😄 Eric put a lot of thought into making the group comfortable by providing provisions, charge cords, binoculars and humorous commentary! 😆 The description provided for this tour was extremely accurate! But give yourself extra time to get through Grand Canyon entrance which is a separate fee 😉

Exceptional Guide - OMG!!! What a wonderful experience. Eric Albanese, our guide, was the most knowledgeable and caring guide. Eric knew, I think, everything about the Grand Canyon. He took us in his van, with a group of seven, to the most spectacular spots of the canyon. He had binoculars for everyone and the back of his van was filled with snacks and an assortment of drinks. Then he took us to see the sunset over the Grand Canyon. He knew the exact spot to see it. Words cannot express the beauty we saw. After the sunset, Eric took us back to the lodge where we all had dinner together. The experience was amazing. If you are looking for a tour of the Grand Canyon, you need to book a tour with Eric!

Awesome Van Tour with incredibly knowledge guide - If you are interested in seeing great views from the top of the Canyon, including sunset, and learning about the Canyon's flora, wildlife, and geologic history, this tour is for you! We loved it. Eric is the best kind of tour guide - able to share so much knowledge about the Canyon while showing you it's natural beauty - all with water, hot beverages, snacks and blankets!

Nice snacks and a unique view of the park - The guide, Eric, was very kind and knowledgeable. We went to great lookout points. The van had lots of snack and was comfy. Thank goodness because there was a bad accident on the way back and we were stuck for a really long time. We missed our first and second dinner opportunities. By the time we cleared Eric offered to take us to a place outside of the park that was open late but we were really tired. I hope the tour company gives Eric the $25/ppl they saved because we didn’t have dinner. I took a star away because we went on less expensive tours that had better views and time at the locations. It’s not the guides fault but the place we had to go to watch the sunset because the road was blocked wasn’t very spectacular. But the location we planned to return to wasn’t actually far from the visitors center so going for free on another night would have been a better option for us because we were staying in the park.
