Steve was an exceptional guide being very knowledgeable on all aspects of the tour. He went out of his way to make sure everyone had a wonderful time including knowing where to take fun pictures. I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying this fabulous excursion to the Grand Canyon and other monuments with Steve.

Rick was an amazing guide on a great tour.

Tour guide Rick was very thorough and thoughtful. He was ahead of all the details and questions, and helped at every aspect of the trip, not only seeing the sights from the best places, but also maximizing souvenir acquisition and food selection. Rick was a wealth of knowledge and a very trustworthy and safe driver. The tour was also well planned and smartly timed, with interesting stops each with enough but not too much time. We highly recommend this trip.

A wonderful experience!

Our guide was Andrea Corral and she is an excellent tour guide. She gave us a very informative history of the Hopi Indians and their culture as well as geological information about the area we were traveling through. The lunch at the Cameron restaurant was wonderful, and the trip to the Grand Canyon was breath-taking. We especially enjoyed being able to stop and enjoy views of the canyon at several different locations.
