Ferris was an excellent driver and guide. He took us to all the major points in Zion & was kind and accommodating. He informed us about the history of the area and best sites to see. Often with tours on this site, you meet guides who rush you or think things have to be done their way. Ferris was the opposite of that and made us feel comfortable in his vehicle and at all the spots we stopped. He also gives wonderful suggestions on how to make your time in the area great
Ferris was a good driver and was able to accommodate. Us the two seniors and a group of college students.
We had a great day with Walter on our Zion National Park Day Trip from Las Vegas. He was on time, the van was clean and cool for the hot day, he made plenty of stops and was an excellent guide and resource during the day. We had 11 people attending and everyone seemed to have a good time and learned a lot.
The park is beautiful and expansive, but unfortunately the experience didn’t live up to its potential. The tour felt very basic and didn’t make the most of the day. The driver’s handling of the vehicle was poor throughout the trip, which made the journey uncomfortable at times, and the guide offered little to no insight about the area—mostly just walking without sharing any meaningful information.
A wonderful experience to Zion! Small group tour (4) was great. Our guide Shula Ellis was able to customize the trip for us. She was so knowledgeable about Vegas and Zion. So nice to have her drive as well
Shula Ellis was our tour guide and she was fantastic. She was great at knowing the park and where to go. She was terrific interacting with my two young sons. She was personable and energetic about the tour and the park.
Our guide, Shula was awesome. She was very accommodating and would stop if we asked. She was also very knowledgeable and knew so much of the history of Las Vegas and Zion.
Our guide Ferris and Kim were extremely knowledgeable of the area and the history of Zion national park. They made our trip enjoyable and they are an asset to your company.. I would definitely recommend your company to my friends and family and have them request Ferris and Kim to do the tour. My daughter and I had such an amazing and memorable experience.
Our tour guide Bin picked 5 of us up and drove us to Zion for a fabulous tour. He was great, showed us all the good photo spots and even helped take some great photos. Never rushed us and really made it a great trip. Would definitely recomend!
It’s a memorable trip. The tour was smooth and stress-free, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy the beauty of the park. The tour guide Ferris was very knowledgeable about the park’s geology, history, and wildlife, and shared many interesting stories along the way. He also made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable, stayed on schedule, and had enough time to enjoy the views and take photos.
