What an amazing tour! Our guide Werner was outstanding. He was not only highly knowledgeable but had a great sense of humor. We learned about the wildlife, the local vegetation, geology and history of the Grand Canyon. This tour exceeded our expectations and Werner made it even more enjoyable. We would recommend doing this tour on your first day to give you a great overview of the Grand Canyon National Park.

The tour was so fun and informative! Our tour guide Mark was great!! We had many chances to get great pics, stop for gift shops, and bathroom. Our group was pretty intimate so it wasn’t crowded at all. The experience was definitely worth the price!
