A 10 Day!! - Keaton was our guide and he was terrific! Extremely knowledgeable on everything to do with the Grand Canyon!! He spent the perfect amount of time at each stop allowing us to see the south rim from every vantage point. He was cognizant of everyone’s needs including rest stops and lunch, which was a good solid spot with lovely outdoor seating. He looked after every detail including binoculars for each couple and choices of cold beverages on board. We would crank this tour a 10!!

Grand Canyon Tour South and East Rims! WOW! - Very thorough trip - 5-6 hours around the South and East Rims - multiple stops and Keaton (our guide) was very knowledgeable. Small group tour was nice and being picked up at our hotel was nice too! Lunch was included at one of the restaurants in the park. Various types of drinks were provided too.

Great tour, phantatic guide - Great tour and phantastic guide. Keitan was extremely knowledgeable and told us so much about genology, plants, animals, history, etc. The selected viewpoints were wonderful. We had enough time for a great lunch in the Navajo reservation. One of the best ours we ever did.

My Moms Birthday 🎉 - Our tour guide was great! Very interesting and knowledgeable. He took us to at least six different places to see the canyon and learn about the culture of the native people. Even made an u-turn to ensure that we got to see some wildlife too. He also was very handsome. Thanks again for stellar service!

A Magnificent Experience! - We are from Canada and it was the first time that my daughter and I visited the Grand Canyon. Keaton provided a multi-faceted tour - we learned a great deal about both the geology and the history of the Grand Canyon. After the tour, we took the "below the rim" trail recommended by Keaton - the South Kaibab trail - and had a great time. We would not have learned nearly as much about the Grand Canyon had we had gone on our own. Another strength of the tour was that Keaton took our lead in terms of our interests, for example, taking us to the Tusayan Museum area with the excavation of a pueblo. We also took his advice for travel to Flagstaff the next day. From start to finish -- a magnificent experience!
