If you are scheduled to be picked up at the Flagstaff airport beware. We were there in place at the designated pickup point 20 minutes ahead of time, at a specific location outside the Economy parking lot. (We were even given a map.) At 10 minutes past our pickup time, I became concerned that something was amiss. I called Viator to make sure we were not forgotten. Turns out the driver was driving around the airport grounds looking for us. But he didn’t make it to the pickup point. After my phone call, the driver called me, and I told him where we were. We eventually connected. As we were getting on the bus, he said he was only told to meet us at “the airport.” Huh? No one told him specifically where at the airport? Good thing I called the company; otherwise the bus eventually might have left without us. It was an example of lack of communication.

Ideal for those wanting to do a relaxed leisurely tour of Grand Canyon from Flagstaff. Overall time less than 6 hours. Van was comfortable and the Guide cum driver was competent and informative. Wish could have spent more time in Grand Canyon. Please be aware that weather in Grand Canyon is very fickle and changeable. Tour operator keeps you updated regularly and is definitely recommend.

Bruce was a great tour guide, a safe driver and very accommodating. Took us to some breathtaking Grand Canyon viewing spots. Answered all the questions we had about Gand Canyon. He explained every landmark places we drove by on our way to the GC.

The trip to Grand Canyon was good. We like the small group. We were seating in the back and didn’t really hear much what our driver was talking about. The only thing I didn’t understand why in my email was mention we have to tip 15-20% of total price.
