Heart of the Grand Canyon - Shannon has a vast knowledge of the Grand Canyon and the surrounding areas. She is the heart of the Grand Canyon and the tour. Without Shannon the tour would have been boring or lacking in much. We had a good group as well. The G.C. was inspirational.

Amazing sights - I had a wonderful trip with Mark Lane as our guide. Mark is super friendly and I enjoyed his stories as we drove up to the Grand Canyon, about mythology (he is an expert) and history and geology. I can really tell this is his passion! We also had a lot of quiet time to relax, listen to our own music (or nap), so Mark didn’t talk the entire time, which may be why I wasn’t tired at the end despite it being a whole day trip. The van was also very comfortable, and smooth driving. We had around 3 hours at the Grand Canyon to check out the view, gift shops, get lunch, and there were also hiking trails. After that, we drove through beautiful Oak Creek and stopped in uptown Sedona and then at Bell Rock. I was even picked up and dropped off from my own hotel in Scottsdale. I had been hesitant about booking because of all the driving, but it didn’t feel like a long drive at all. We had additional bathroom/snack breaks, and Mark let us know that if we needed an emergency stop, he’d accommodate us no worries. It was great to feel like we were looked after. I’ll be going on Mark’s other tours when I’m back in Arizona. Definitely recommend!
