“Three generations of our family took a full day Grand Canyon tour with Rasa as our guide. He was fantastic - so knowledgeable and personable. My mom uses a cane and he gave her extra care so that she could enjoy herself as much as the rest of us. He took us to excellent locations and was very helpful with capturing photos for us. Rasa made the experience perfect and I would give it more than 5 stars if I could!”

“Exceptional! From ages 4 to 74, we all were thrilled with our private tour. Our guide, Brian, was very knowledgable. We asked for details about history and geology which he provided with views, maps, and interesting commentary. It greatly enhanced our understanding and enjoyment of the Canyon. We never would have seen as much from the train or driving by ourselves. We even saw a large herd of elk as well as big horn sheep, ravens, and other animals. Our van was very comfortable with large windows. Brian was a smooth driver and made stops appropriate to our youngest and oldest needs. This private tour was expensive but worth every…”

“Miguel was a wonderful tour guide! We learned a lot about the geology of the Canyon, plus a great deal about the Native American tribes of the area. Miguel cared about the comfort of his travelers which was appreciated. We'd highly recommend this tour. A great experience! NOTE: Be ready for a long day, lots of walking & there is lots of uneven terrain on the trails around the rim of the Canyon. The tour van doesn't have a lot of legroom if you're really tall.”
