Great tour! Very knowledgeable, friendly and funny tour guide (Kara) who led us through less-traveled sections of the park to the Grand Canyon. Highly recommended!

Sheila was outstanding. We loved every minute. The only thing we found missing was time to see more sites and walk along the rim. Fortunately we did that the day before so the tour capped a wonderful time at the Canyon
