What people are saying about Zion Canyon

It was a great trip. Seeing Grand Canyon south rim was an unforgettable experience! Took our breath. With snow and fog and hail, we got lucky that park wasn’t closed. Second day got to see all the locations except Zion because it closed due to snow. We weren’t that disappointed with that because 1 - it’s not in our control, 2-we were all really tired. It’s physically demanding if you walk around each stop and explore. The tour bus isn’t top of the line but sitting in front seat you can see the majestic views really good. The overnight stay was comfortable- 2 queen beds in a big room. For our group of 5, we booked 3 tickets + 2 tickets separately to get two rooms.

Really nice tour! Paulie was absolutely the best and made the tour enjoyable. Great personality and makes sure everyone was on time. I’m not used to sleeping up right, so bring a neck pillow to prevent neck strain. Be sure to tip your guides! $10 to $15 is customary

Sundance was our guide and she was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, funny and outgoing! Would highly recommend this tour!!
