This was an excellent...

This was an excellent tour of the Grand Canyon. We were a small group, so Sheldon made sure to customize his tour so that all of us had exactly the experience we were looking for. He made sure we saw the hidden gem views of the Grand Canyon that I never would've known about without being on a tour like this. It was the ideal mix of hiking and seeing the Grand Canyon from a variety of vantage points. Highly recommend!

Grand Canyon brings out 6th sense

This is a natural wonder that is a must see with breathtaking views that cannot be documented via photos. It must be witnessed in person so that your other senses can be awakened and that 6th sense can be activated (which leaves you speechless and is where you get to experience that feeling that blurs everyone out). Sheldon, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable and the best part, his underlying personality which immediately made me feel at ease. I couldn’t have asked for more.

Sisters who Hike!

Our tour guide, Stanton, started our morning by educating us about the canyon as we travelled to it. He shared info about the history, the geography, geology, cultural aspects, and more. We were ready to see the canyon personally and begin our great hike. If you are really looking to experience the canyon by hiking it, this would be a great trip for you. We hiked, we explored the area, we had a lovely lunch, explored several other sites that gave us new perspectives of the canyon, and then a pleasant ride back to the hotel. Our guide was superior, pleasant, knowledgeable, and certainly made that day a great one.
