Grand Canyon Day Trip - First Class Tours took us from Sedona to the Grand Canyon. The ease of having them pick us up at our door & return us there was a treat. We enjoyed the history & cultural details along the way. Our guide took us through the East Entrance, & we exited through the South Entrance, which allowed us to see even more views of the Park. Not having to navigate the parking lots & roads was wonderful…instead, our party was able to sit back, relax & just enjoy the views & our time together. Lunch at El Tovar was fabulous. One of the unexpected gems: our guide announced up front that we were going to his 4 favorite spots…if I had been in charge, I would have tried to cram in the maximum number of view spots, which would have tired everyone out & rushed some…by limiting the quantity of stops, we were able to maximize our enjoyment of each. And seeing 4 stunning views was perfect for a day trip. First Class Tours was truly first class from booking, to confirming, to execution. Being a private tour, you can customize your tour to fit your group, or you can just allow them to give you a fabulous day trip using their local knowledge as we did with minimal oversight. I would use them again for any future trips to the area.

First Class Charter is definitely 1st class. - My wife and I visited Sedona last week and decided to include a visit to the Grand Canyon. We invested in a tour with First Class Charter. My wife spoke to Peggy to set up the tour; Peggy was a wealth of information with great follow up. In reviewing the guides, we wanted someone who would be informative and a good conversationalist, she recommended Mark. It was the perfect trip. Mark was a pleasure to be with and filled us with many stories and insights involving the Canyon, Sedonna and the many sights in between. We both highly recommend First Class Charter. We would definitely use them again.

Grand Canyon Trip - Our tour guide Jonathan Allerton was more than phenomenal. He was extremely attentive to us, much more than we normally experience from other tour guides. His very easy going behavior and openness are some qualities we really appreciated. He even carried the bag that contained the souvenir shopping we did. He is a great human being and wish him long term success.

Amazing Tour! - This was an amazing tour! Bob was our wonderful tour guide with a great wealth of knowledge of the area. He kept us entertained the whole time. We saw so many amazing views during our road trip to the Canyon. The Grand Canyon itself is something special and magical. We had a wonderful lunch at El Tovar and Bob gave us some time to walk it off to see some more views before we left. This is a trip for anyone who wants to witness a little piece of heaven. The views were spectacular and we appreciated how Bob made our day so special.

Fabulous day at the Grand Canyon - We had such a wonderful day with Bob on our private family tour to the Grand Canyon. He helped us get started early so we wouldn’t have time spent in traffic or lines. Bob had a great personality, and he was easy to talk to and spend the day with. He took us to the best spots to view the canyon, made our delicious lunch reservations for us at El Tovar, and brought us home another scenic way along Route 66. We very much enjoyed our time on this tour, and we would do it again!

Excellent way to go see the Grand Canyon from Sedona! - Mark was fantastic! Picked us up and had a wonderful leisurely drive to the canyon. Made multiple stops to view the magnificent canyon. Mark was knowledgeable and friendly. Stopped and had a prearranged lunch at El Tavar. Lunch was wonderful and so is the view. Walked around the rim for a while. Well worth it!

Knowledgeable, Flexible and Friendly - Bob arrived at our hotel right on time and we started off. He is very friendly and personable and answered all of our questions about the area in a very knowledgeable way. Shortly after departing Sedona there was an issue with the SUV. These things happen! The company immediately sent a replacement vehicle to meet us and we switched to a van and continued on our way. Bob was calm and handled the issue quickly. We very much enjoyed our ride to the Grand Canyon. Once we arrived, Bob took us to two of his favorite spots to view the canyon. Then we stopped for lunch at El Tovar Lodge. After lunch we had time for one last stop before heading back to Sedona. We were even rewarded when we saw a large herd of elk right next to the road! I highly recommend First Class Tours and Bob for your visit to Sedona!

Make the tour private and Marc will take care of the rest! - Please note I rarely ever write a review. Peggy at the office made it simple to lock this in, and Marc Spector (who you need to request made the day special). Marc was an incredible host and story teller who made my wife and 14 year old comfortable and looking fwd to Marc’s next story of Sedona, GC, how he and his wife came to be in Sedona. Ty Marc for the best sites in GC!
