Sheila was outstanding. We loved every minute. The only thing we found missing was time to see more sites and walk along the rim. Fortunately we did that the day before so the tour capped a wonderful time at the Canyon
Simply outstanding trip !

The whole trip was amazing. Werner was an outstanding guide. He was so informative and clearly loves sharing his knowledge of the history, geology and fun facts about Grand Canyon. We are so happy we did this tour! Thank you Werner!
Beautiful views, educational, and a great guide!

We had a wonderful time with Werner as our guide. He was so informative and had a lot of stories and pictures to share. It was a very windy day which made getting near the edge a little scary but Werner kept us safe. I would highly recommend this tour. Going through the forest was an added benefit that you won’t get from the other tour companies. We even saw wild horses. It was a morning well spent!
Amazing

Wonderful first adventure into the Grand Canyon with our extended family of 11 adults and kids. Cara gave us the intro and advice on how to spend the next few days at the Canyon. Fabulous experience!
Be careful before you sign up. This is a walking tour. This tour does not include the look the best look out spots.

This was a great tour! There was 14 ofsa our family who went to the Grand Canyon. The tour bus only holds 12 so we were not happy that all of us would not be on the same safari tour bus and each bus stops at different locations at differente times. However, we were able to have two of us sit in the front with the guide and all worked out. They were willing to work with us. I would recommend this tour to others!
Got more than we expected

Our tour guide was excellent. Although he is from Germany, he knew not only I formation related to the Grand Canyon but he gave us a glance of living in the area. He had great stories to tell, was very helpful and with a good sense of humor. He gave us the option of looking at the canyon views more than walking around the village, which you can do on your own. It was a great first introduction to the Grand Canyon. We did the morning tour and ask for advised about what to do after.
Amazing, fun and breath-taking!

Jeep Tour Experience!

We loved the back road tour through the forest and seeing all the wild animals. We were able to see wild horses, elk, and tons of cattle! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly made it an experience we’ll never forget. The views of the Grand Canyon were mesmerizing, and we were able to bring home family photos we’ll always treasure. We also left with tons of ideas of things we could do for the remainder of our trip! I highly recommend a guided jeep tour to elevate your experience to the next level! Thank you!!
Super fun!

Werner was a great guide! I loved all his knowledge and his stories of living near the park and his perspective coming from Germany. I also liked that he wanted to spend more time in the park than in the grand canyon village
