The way to go to see the Grand Canyon - This was a great way to see the Grand Canyon. Our guide, Raymond was great. He gave us so many stories and history tidbits we otherwise wouldn’t have gotten.

First time at the Canyon - Our tour guide was Tyler. He was great. Super informative and knowledgeable. It was a nice ride through the forest, sadly not much wild life except for some squirrels lol. Once we got to the canyon it was spectacular. Tyler was super chill giving us time to venture off on our own. Take photos of us. He took us to some great spots. I highly recommend this tour. Good times, great memories for life.

Wonderful tour, highly recommend! - We truly enjoyed our tour with Sheila! She made the trip so much fun! She took us down a back road through the forest, and she had so much information to share! It was our first time actually seeing the Grand Canyon, and we got such a good scope of the area in general and quite a bit of information about the history and background. She took several pictures of us as well and made this trip an overall great experience! I can highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful - The views were gorgeous. It was truly breathtaking. The weather was perfect. We also enjoyed the off road experience. Only downfall was lots of dust from that part. It was all over us, but worth it.
