Great way to experience the Grand Canyon for the 1st time! Werner (our guide), drove, entertained and educated us with stories and facts about the past and present! He adapted his tour to the wants and needs of the group. Thank you “DUDE”!

We enjoyed this tour of the Grand Canyon. This company has special access to the park through the forest so you do not need to wait in line at the entrance gate. Our guide Werner was very knowledgeable and friendly.

My 10 year old and I joined Werner on a trip through the forest to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. He was a fantastic guide, pointing out wildlife, taking photos of our family, and teaching us about the geology of the area. It was a special bonus to be able to circumvent to entrance traffic and journey through the forest.
