“Beautiful day! - Sam was an absolutely outstanding guide! His knowledge of the canyon’s plant and animal life, as well as its history - both physical and human - were the foundation of a very enjoyable tour that he customized in some special ways. He is a fantastic people person. Highly recommended!” - Reviewed on 2024-03-11
