Rasa was a very good tour guide. Unbelievably knowledgeable about everything about the area. He was very attentive and accommodating to us all. Some people may not appreciate how much he talked, but my family did. One had to be impressed with his extensive recall of so many facts and figures. Rasa, fact check your info given on location of shooting of Thelma and Louise. 😉

Very knowledgeable tour guide made the day worth it. We did not feel rushed at all. Very well organized
Our tour guide Brian was a wealth of information about the area. We had ample time in each area to take photos & see the stunning sites. We drove through Sunset Crater, stopped at the Wutpatki dwelling (and learned a lot about the people), stopped at the Cameron Trading Post to shop & eat, & we then went to the Grand Canyon. He made multiple stops at different a points along the east/South Rim. (Though we were trying to out run the thunder storm). We spent an hour near Grand Canyon Village & were able to see so much.
This was a wonderful full day of touring with Ezra! He was so knowledgeable! Stopped several places along the way, delicious lunch at Cameron Trading Post, wildlife, great views! Would highly recommend it, especially with Ezra!
J.R. was a very knowledgeable and entertaining driver. We got to see amazing views of the canyon while avoid the largest crowds. The Wupatki National Monument was a nice addition to the tour, along with lunch on the Reservation. A busy and rewarding day.
Opportunity to see many lovely spots on the way to the Grand Canyon and several scenic stops at the Grand Canyon. A full day of driving that we didn’t have to do!
Great full day going to the Grand Canyon. We came from Sedona. Viator tours never disappoint. Highly recommend
Tour with Max, very knowledgeable and informative. Had a small group of nine. He made our first trip to the Grand Canyon very memorable with many stops for different view points to make the most of our experience.
We all had a wonderful time, and our tour guide, Brian was extremely knowledgeable and told wonderful stories.
Great tour guide Very knowledgeable and fun I was thrilled to finally get to the Grand Canyon. The group had a good time. 🌞.
Yesterday was our third trip to the Grand Canyon. The first one was on a large tour bus from Las Vegas, and we only got to stop at on site to view it. We were impressed, but didn't know what else to expect. The second time we drove ourselves from Las Vegas to The Sky Walk. Really enjoyed that. However, yesterday we did a guided tour, with 6 passengers, from Sedona. It was The Comprehensive Grand Canyon Tour from Sedona, bookthrough Viator. The itinerary was excellent, but our guide, Sheldon, was far above excellent. He knew the best places to see certain sites, as well as the best times to be there to avoid large crowds. Extremely knowledgeable and personable. Our first stop was at Sunset Crater Park, a volcanic site. We actually walked for 30 minutes through a lava field! Second stop was at Lomaki Ruins National . Monument, where we hiked to a handful of ancient dwellings. Cameron Trading Post was our shopping/lunch stop. He planned it so we got to the restaurant well ahead of the huge crowds that came while we were eating. Giant Navajo tacos! Finally arrived at The Grand Canyon. We stopped numerous times and places for extensive viewings. If we ever return, we will definitely book this tour, with Sheldon.
Excellent tour. Our tour guide Charlie was knowledgeable and fun. He made our tour interesting for adults and children. We booked this tour since it included Sunset Crater and the Ruins. I had toured the north rim years ago and it included lunch on our own at the canyon. That was a total mess and we could not eat it was so busy. This tour we ate at Cameron Trading Post. It was relaxed and very enjoyable. This tour was so enjoyable and would highly recommend. Tour with Charlie your family will be in for an extra treat!
This was our first time in the Sedona area, so a guided tour up to the Grand Canyon was at the top of our "gotta see" list. We were incredibly fortunate to have Bobby V. as our driver/guide. He provided us with plenty of stories and background that made the experience go well beyond a basic sightseeing tour. His good nature, humor, and cultural/historical insights helped us better understand what we were seeing and why it is important. The tour included time to walk through Pueblo ruins, talk briefly with park rangers, and, of course, witness the incredible vistas of the Grand Canyon. We didn't have the best weather (breezy, cloudy, and occasionally drizzly), but it was a great experience nonetheless. It's a day-long tour with plenty of restroom breaks and opportunities to purchase snacks and lunch. Highly recommend this tour—and if you can get Bobby as your guide, that's a big bonus!
This tour is amazing!! We saw things we had no idea are in Arizona!! I highly recommend Sheldon as the tour guide. He knows so much about the history of everything we saw and was also funny and kind. The drive through Oak Creek Canyon at Sedona is beautiful! Then the lava fields are such a surprise! You can take a short hike through the lava. Next is the Pueblo Indian ruins, which are so interesting to see and learn about their way of life. Then a delicious lunch provided by the Cameron Trading Post in the Navajo nation. And that’s just the morning! We enter red the east gate of the Grand Canyon to avoid the crowds. The views are STUNNING! We had four stops with amazing views, and Sheldon knew of short trails to take us to more private viewing spots. Last stop was Grand Canyon Village. It was much busier there than anywhere we’d been all day. After exploring there, we headed back. I’d take this tour again tomorrow if I could! So well organized and informative. We could have never done this on our own!
Our guide Mark was the best. Very knowledgeable, non bias narrative . Great lunch at Cameron outpost.
The tour guide was very informative and accommodating. The van was comfortable and we enjoyed stopping at the volcanic crater and Pueblo also. The Grand Canyon was magnificent!! A must see tour if visiting Arizona. It is so much easier than driving yourself.
The tour guide was excellent. He is a native of the area annd had a lot of personal information about the area. And seeing the Grand Canyon was truly GRAND.
A wonderful way to see the Grand Canyon along with stops at Sunset Crater (to see the lava fields) and Wupatki National Monument (Pueblo village ruins). Tour guide Jason was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and, as a long time resident of Sedona, he also gave us tips about local restaurants and roads to take to find the best views. Being picked up at our resort and the inclusion of a nice lunch at Cameron Trading Post was a definite plus! I highly recommend this tour.
Everything was excellent and the driver was awesome. Nothing to complain about and no concerns. I highly recommend.
Wonderful trip, colorful trees on the way up to Flagstaff/seen some animals. Our guide was very informative and recommended best steak in town. Many views of the canyon just perfect.
Our tour guide provided us with alot of information about the Grand Canyon and was very engaging. He pre-ordered lunch for us so the wait would not be long when we arrived at the restaurant. It was a great day knowing someone else would get us around the canyon in a timely fashion.
Our tour driver, Chip, is a marvelous guide! He made the journey fun and memorable, even when our first Canyon stop was disappointing because of fog. But Chip’s sunny and positive manner seemed to change the weather and all turned out terrific! Thank you Chip! It turned out to be a Good day!
Ask for Jessica, she was amazing and so knowledgeable and friendly. My mom is 81 and Jessica took great care of her. My 16 and 17 year old said it wasn't cheesy like other commercialized tours. It was a amazing and I was thanked by even my kids. The mix of activities/ stops, the smaller size of the group, and the food at the reservation made it all come together.
Tour was amazing! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and made each stop along the way a great and memorable experience. Plenty of great stops and views.
Fantastic experience and Jessica our tour guide was amazing! She had so many interesting facts about the area, we were always learning something. She always kept us informed and pointed out the best places to see things.We thought we would try the GC on our own but so glad we did this instead! We met some great people as well. Definitely recommend this tour and Jessica if you can get her. P.S. She’s also a fantastic photographer!
Our guide was just amazing and full of geological and local knowledge and made the day very interesting.
This was a great trip for those who prefer to sit back and let someone else do the planning and the driving. I give it four stars only because I was really looking forward to the advertised 30 min watch tower stop, and it didn't happen (there was never a very clear reason about why we didn't stop there)
Sheldon was amazing. The stops along the way to explore the volcano and ruins made the drive up to Grand Canyon even more fun
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the Grand Canyon and Arizona as a whole. Very interesting.
It was my first visit to Arizona. We stayed in Sedona and wanted to see the Grand Canyon…this tour was absolutely perfect! Our guide Andrea was very pleasant, knowledgeable and added a great perspective to our experience! We loved every minute!
Wonderful trip. Excellent and knowledgeable guide. Provided stunning views of the Canyon. Great lunch. Interesting histories of native people. Well worth the cost. Great trip for newcomers who dont want to deal with driving!
OMG Dominick was phenomenal!!! He knew where to go see the best sights , where to buy souvenirs and where to go eat. I would def re book with Dom
This was my second trip to Grand Canyon but my first time booking a tour. Our tour guide Sheldon was wonderful. He showed us several beautiful look out points of Grand Canyon. We did not feel rushed and Sheldon was very accommodating to everyone’s needs. Picked up and dropped off at our Airbnb which was a great bonus.
Sheldon did a great job. Relaxing way to see sights without the worry of driving. Glad i chose this method of travel.
Tour guide Charlie was fantastic. Terrific knowledge of the history, animal life, culture and geology of the area. The stops were well-spaced and timed and the views were all stunning. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat and hope to come back with friends.
Tour guide Charlie was fantastic! Extremely well-informed on the history, animal life, and the geology of the area. The spots where we stopped were all awesome, well-timed and beautiful. I would do do this again in a minute if Charlie was the guide, and in fact hope to do so with friends.
The tour was wonderful it was just very long and the stops before the Grand Canyon could have been excluded to give more time in the Grand Canyon. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and drive was very enjoyable.
<p>We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with our guide, Sheldon, who was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and was very accommodating to all the guests needs. He was kind, funny and interested in making sure that all of us had a better experience than we anticipated. We were amazed by the lava flow and the 900 year old ruins in the Painted Desert. We appreciate the opportunity to see the Grand Canyon from several different perspectives and enjoyed Sheldons explanations about all that we were seeing as we drove to and from the Canyon. We would highly recommend this tour, especially if you have just one day to learn as much as you can about the Grand Canyon and the surrounding area. April 2018</p>
<p>Hard to put into words the sights we saw on this tour. It was Grand!</p> <p>The tour was all day but went really fast. It was actually three tours in one. We saw a volcano, ancient native ruins, and of course the Grand Canyon. Our tour guide, Katherine, was totally awesome. First and foremost, she was really knowledgeable about all the sights that we saw. She also took us to some slightly off the beaten track views that were just amazing. Lastly, she is a rock climber and hiking guide so she brought lots of knowledge to her overviews and she shared freely of her experiences, which was most interesting.</p> <p>Lastly, she was a great driver. I would not have been able to make that drive on my own.</p>
<p>This tour was fantastic and much more than we expected. The staff is very professional and kept us informed about departure time according to weather forecast and number of guest on the bus. Charlie, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the geography, history, fauna, flora, sociology of Northern Arizona and beyond. This gentle guide was able to answer all the questions we had. As we are senior citizens, Charle was very patient with us and met our special needs, always very cheerful and with a great sense of humor.<br/> We both loved this tour and would not hesitated recommending it to any of our friends!</p>
<p>It was a good tour - even though we did not go to the South rim gate which shows a larger view of the South Rim - some other interesting places were visited - like the lava rocks and castle ...</p>
<p>Loved it! This was a wonderful way to see so any things In one day. This was our first tour experience and I guarantee it will not be our last! Our guide took good care of us, showed personal interest in each of the tour participants and was full of knowledge and local lore. All in all a great day!!</p>
<p>A wonderful tour that included many sights we would not have seen on our own. Small group 12 people. Very entertaining and knowledgable tour guide. All-inclusive, no lines or waiting. Highly recommended.</p>
<p>This tour was really amazing. It was just the right amount of driving and viewing. Our guide was so well informed and relayed facts and stories about the canyon in a way that was fun and enjoyable. I am looking forward to the next time when I can come back to Arizona and take another trip with your company.</p>
<p>The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were very happy about the tour itself, but the weather wasn't very friendly.</p>
