SERVICE: Within minutes of booking, we were contacted by the service provider to confirm the booking and finalize activity details (e.g., meeting/pickup location, lunch selection, etc.). Check-in on the day of our excursion was equally professional and efficient.
FACILITIES: We chose to meet our guide at the office. The facilities are clean and comfortable, with coffee on the ready and a restroom. Some interactive displays on the Grand Canyon prime you for the trip.
GUIDE: If you can request a guide, ask for Danya. She is very knowledgeable, extremely personable, and flexible. She has hiked the Canyon many times, resulting in an experience that took us to some less trafficked spots incorporating stunning views and short hikes along the rim. Her knowledge of the land was a bonus - we enjoyed conversing about the geology, plant life, and other facets that one would not normally expect. You simply can't go wrong with Danya!
WHAT TO EXPECT: Tour stops were excellently planned, allowing for restroom breaks. Water, snacks, and lunch are provided. Depending on when you visit, plan for weather. It can get chilly on the North and South rims. Bring a jacket so you can layer as needed. Last pro tip: bring some cash so you can tip your guide.

My husband and I had a great experience with our tour guide, Corey! He was knowledgeable and helped us make the most of our time at the Grand Canyon. He answered all our questions and provided a wonderful picnic lunch. I highly recommend this tour!

My sisters and I went on this tour on Saturday, October 4, with Tony. I would give 10 stars if I could! Tony was so much fun, and so knowledgeable. He taught us so much about the landscape on our way, and the history of what we were seeing. He took us through an entrance to the Grand Canyon that is not well known, so we did not have to worry about long lines and crowds. Once at the Canyon, he taught us all about the geology of the layers of rock that we were seeing, in chronological order going back millions of years. Tony made it fun and interesting.
We spent a wonderful day, ate a lovely picnic lunch on the rim, and had a very special experience. Tony even sang Happy Birthday to me! I would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone!
