Family of 8 to Grand Canyon!!

Jon was fantastic!! Punctual, he was knowledgeable, he broke up the trip for us so we weren’t in the van any longer than 90 minutes. He was very patient and didn’t rush us yet kept us on schedule. He was very knowledgeable as we went along the tour -our tour was Sedona and the Grand Canyon. It was a long day, he made it very enjoyable. Van fit 8 and it was comfortable. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful day at the rim!

It was a long drive, but we had a great guide who really knew where to go, so we feel like we saw enough to say we did the canyon. It was a beautiful day and a pleasant experience.

Excellent customized trip not to be missed!

We had a fantastic day with our guide Mike and a very easy time making our arrangements with the owner Steve who was very responsive to all our questions. Since my wife and I were the only ones on this tour, it really became a customized experience staying at each stop as long or short as we wanted including a quick trip at the end of the day to Williams and our first ever meal at In-N-Out Burger on the ride home. Mike did a great job explaining all the changes in terrain as we drove north to the Canyon. Once there we were amazed by the sights and pleased that there were no crowds. Initially we were going to drive to Williams and take the train to the Canyon but we are so happy we chose this tour instead. Having a guide and as much time as we wanted to spend at each overlook really made this a memorable day.

Thanks very much for taking our tour, and we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the day!
