Our guide Werner took us on this great 3-hour tour of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. We went through the Kaibab National Forest and then on to the Grand Canyon. Werner was full of interesting information about the Canyon. The vehicles are quite comfortable compared with other touring vehicles we have experienced: all the seats face to the front, and the sound system was great, so we could hear every word. We highly recommend this tour, and Werner in particular!

We booked a last minute private 3-hour morning tour and were lucky to have Werner as our guide. With good nature and abundant humour, Werner provided us with lots of incredible information including about plants and wildlife (including photos to illustrate some of what he was telling us about!!!), which was in addition to the information about the geological and topographical features of the Grand Canyon. He also took some great photos of our little group and ended the tour with a fun nature-related quiz. Also, after hearing about our travel plans, Werner gave us more than a handful of recommendations for sites to see on our way to Bryce Canyon. To say that we were pleasantly surprised and absolutely thrilled with our tour would be an understatement. So, it is definitely worth your while to book a tour with Werner - nothing but amazing information and amazing energy = amazing memories!
