Tour it self was really good and the Grand Canyon was amazing. Great experience getting into the park via the original road. Tour guide Renee was knowledgeable but must not like children and teens as she insulted and was condescending to ours. Group grew a bit tired of her lectures and would be gain to wander only to be badgered to come back and listen when obviously they were just taking pictures. Company experience was good though.

We had never visited the Grand Canyon before, and this totally exceeded our expectations. Our guide Nathan was extremely knowledgeable about the fauna and flora, history of the Native Americans, geography and geology and more! He has an engaging delightful personality. You can tell that this is a man who loves his job. Top notch!

Our tour guide, Nathan, was a wealth of information. From local history, plant life, geology, and animals, he made the whole trip interesting and educational. Avoiding the lines at the main entrance was also a big plus. Would definitely recommend if this is your first time to the Grand Canyon.
