Spectacular Views of Natural Beauty - I went on the Small Grp Frand Canyon Nat'l Park Day Tour on March 21st. Our tour guide/driver Nate was knowledgeable, friendly, personable and very informative about the Grand Canyon as well as the communities surrounding the park. Nate provided information about Native Americans, customs, folklore, reasonable places to get lunch and just a very good experience. Nate also took our group to Sedona. He allowed us time to sbop, dine and see more spectacular views of the Red Rock. I definitely recommend this day tour for anyone. Even small children of walking age can enjoy this day tour. The group I was with was fun and just the right number of people. Next time I'm in Phoenix or Scottsdale, I'll definitely repeat this experience. Money well spent. Thanks Nate! Registration online was fairly easy. I did call to verify I could tour as a solo. It wasn't a problem at all.

Perfect day! - Mark was wonderful! Great insights and information. We got much more out of the tour than we could have ever expected or learned on our own. Plus, it was relaxing and stress free for us not to deal with traffic, parking and lines. An extra bonus was a Sedona stop, a welcome surprise ending to a perfect day. Well worth the fee.

Very experienced. - Tracy was knowledgeable, insightful and polite. And Mike was a safe and capable driver. They got us to the south rim in good time ahead of the crowds, so we had plenty of time to explore. That gave us time to squeeze in a stop at Sedona!
