Simply the best. - What a fantastic tour !!! Sheila was our tour guide and driver. Extremely knowledgeable and great fun. I originally booked for four of us but at the last minute another two cousins decided to come along as well. We phoned the office and they were brilliant and got them, literally at the last minute, into our jeep. This is one of the very best tours that I have ever done. Fabulous memories and loads of wonderful photographs.

Amazing Tour - We had a great time with Tyler as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour a lot of fun. We first drove through the back country and learned a lot about the history of the area. Then we made it to the canyon where we saw spectacular views and took lots of great pictures. We highly recommend this tour!

Relaxed tour - Booked a tour on phone after seeing the tours vehicles parked at the visitor center. Audrey took us on tour through Kaibab forest and Grand Canyon. She had water for all too... nice 👍 ... nice tour 👌 to see in a few hours. Seen horses 🐎, Elk on drive, and it was relaxing not to worry about entry lines, parking, and getting back. U can always go visit more places.
