Hit the Jackpot when you book this tour! - Our family lost money on our trip to Vegas, but we hit the JACKPOT when we booked a tour through iTravel USA. We were fortunate enough to have Lankun, aka “Mama”, as our tour guide around the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree National Park, and Hoover Dam. Our day with her was the highlight of our trip! Ask for her. Seriously. Here’s why: she is knowledgable. Not just knowledgable, but a plethora of information and context. She knows the area, the small towns, the people and the “quirky details” that will stick out in your mind long after you return home. She has also amassed a cache of online resources that she will provide links to, so you can further your learning experience and really soak up the information later on. This was particularly helpful because A) it’s hard to remember everything that early in the morning and B) we traveled with kids and we could really extend the learning experience after our tour was complete. Lankun “Mama” has the tour process down to a science. She knows where to stop for the cleanest restrooms, best photo ops AND when to get there to minimize standing in long lines. Perhaps most significantly, Lankun is an exceptional photographer. She told us that she would take our pictures (if we liked, of course) with her camera (phone) and would air drop the photos to everyone near the end of our tour, so we wouldn’t have to worry about capturing the moment—we could just enjoy our experience. My husband and I were STUNNED at the quality of her pictures. She knows where the best places are for backdrops and she will guide you through a very simple photo shoot. She is efficient. The result was that EVERY family in our tour received professional pictures from each location we visited that day. Honestly, you could spend hundreds of dollars on a just a professional photographer like her—and she provides this service as part of the tour! I was so impressed, I asked my husband to tip her generously because now we have pictures for Christmas cards and to fill our frames around our house. So don’t worry, even if you lose money in Vegas, you will more than cover the loss by booking a tour with Lankun, aka “Mama” as your guide.

Best experience ever! - My wife and I went on the Grand Canyon tour with Hoover Dam and Joshua tree. Lankun aka Mama was our tour guide. She arrived on time to pick us up from our hotel. During the tour she made sure to give us as much information as possible and also took lots of awesome pictures of us during the process. Lunch was provided and she made sure that we stayed hydrated. The tour was worth every cent and Lankun did everything that she said she was going to do. She even cracked some jokes in the process lol. We really enjoyed ourselves and this was an experience of a lifetime!

Best choice for grand cayon tour from Las Vegas!!! - I signed up for this tour because I didn't want to be on the big bus tour. Lankun was amazing. She knows so much! She got us to the Grand Canyon early before there were a lot of people and she took amazing photos of our family. Best tour I have ever experienced!!!

Tour guide and amazing photographer! - This was by far the best tour my wife and I have ever had and that is saying a lot, as we are adventurists and love seeking places that require guided tours to learn as we have fun. Our tour guide’s name was Lankun aka “Mama,” which I found to be extremely fitting as she was very thoughtful in making sure we all had cold water, watched our steps, and took notice to all of our minor weaknesses (for example, knee pains, back issues, patience level to picture taking, fear of heights) to make sure we could all have fun. As a tour guide it’s important to k ow all the good spots to see the breathtaking views, but to also capture them for you, is going above and beyond. Mama is not only an amazing tour guide, but captured better photos that we will remember for a lifetime! I highly recommend this tour, and I highly recommend Lankun, you will not regret it.

Tour of Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam - Our tour was wonderful and our guide Lankum was entertaining and masterly knowledgeable regarding every aspect of our tour. She was friendly and gave 120% from the time she picked us up until the moment we returned to our hotel. We were all very appreciative of her efforts and will be glad to recommend her to family and friends in the future.

FANTASTIC tour and guide!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - My absolute favorite 😍 part of the tour was the helicopter tour that my sister and I did. This trip was in memory of our dad. We took the very same trip as him and his siblings 2 months before he passed. "Mama" made this trip a trip to remember even more. She took the most amazing pictures of myself and my sister so that when I pass my 3 boys can go to each of the places that we did and replicate the same trip. It was very unexpected but SO SO SO welcomed and appreciated more than she knows. I HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking for MORE than just a "guide". She made this trip so nice for us that I have already arrived home and am talking to the husband about planning a trip for myself and him with her when it cools down. Not only was she great with us, but we had an elderly couple with us on our trip and the patience, compassion, and all around caring and attention she paid to that couple was fantastic as well. She insured their safety on the uneven ground and made sure that they was able to stop when they needed but didn't slow us younger ones down either. I can NOT say enough good things about her!!! I could go on and on. You will not be disappointed with Mama at all. BoOK your trip with her before she is all booked up!!!!
