We went on the sunset tour with Warner, and it was one of the best decisions of our trip. My husband was skeptical about how good it would be since we has already been the grand canyon earlier in the day. He was completely sold on the tour about 30 minutes in because of all the information and behind the scenes look we got! Warner mixed facts with personal stories and made the whole experience worth twice what we paid. Even if you've seen the grand canyon before, book this tour! You won't regret everything you get to see and learn!
