Our Tour Guide -(Kara?) was AWESOME! She was very knowledgeable and informed - very personable - helpful and friendly too. She took extra care and time to ensure we all were comfortable and answered any and all questions while enlightening us to the many features and highlights of the Grand Canyon. This was one of the Best Tours my wife and I have ever enjoyed! We wanted to make sure that if you have limited time to experience the Grand Canyon - THIS IS THE ONE TOUR YOU MUST TAKE! I have loads of pictures and memories - but darn if I am still not very tech savy to download them - so get out there and take some yourself - Our Guide made sure we had all of the pictures we could possibly want/get, along with the stories of the Grand Canyon, etc...
