Easy, relaxing way to see the Grand Canyon! - Seeing the Grand Canyon for the very first time! Cat - out wonderful guide - gave us lots of interesting facts about the history and geology of the Grand Canyon. It’s so nice to have someone else do the driving too.
I liked Cat’s choices of music. And her train whistle!

Andrea is the BEST! - This trip was amazing!
Andrea made this trip easy! She was very knowledgeable and personable. She took us to the best spots and was so chill and easygoing.
She knew a lot about everything.
We got to see the Grand Canyon from a lot of different angles. Even got to hike up a little trail named the Bright Angel Trail.
Would definitely recommend this trip but definitely with her!

Steve was a wonderful... - Steve was a wonderful tour guide! He showed us parts of the park (and off park) we never would have gone to on our own. He had knowledge of literally everything and gladly shared it. The views were unreal, a wonderful day.
The only part we didn't necessarily enjoy was the fact that we were the only ones wearing masks in a van. Masks were optional inside the van during a pandemic? I'm a nurse, so I don't think that makes a ton of sense. People were coughing in the van all day.
Otherwise, a great tour.

The trip is pretty short... - The trip is pretty short (especially leaving from Flagstaff) and a bit too commercial for my taste. We stopped for a long time at a US private-owned (NOT EVEN native American-owned) shopping area. We stopped at 3-4 viewpoints at the Grand Canyon and that was it ... The guide was extremely nice and pleasant though.
