What To Expect

Grand Canyon South Rim

Voted best and most captivating 3 hour Sunset tour at Grand Canyon. Informative, local guides describe Grand Canyon geological formations, Native American history, mule and hiking trail systems, and the rich history of this region. Includes Tusayan pick-up, south entrance gate detour during 30 minute off-road excursion, viewing of native wildlife such as elk, deer and rare bird species in their natural environment; culminating at Grandview Point where the fading sunlight turns the Canyon into a kaleidoscope of colors.

Yavapai Point

See magnificent vistas, Colorado River and Phantom Ranch.

This was better than I expected. It was freezing cold and raining, but our driver was undeterred. I have been to The Grand Canyon multiple times, but this is the first tour I have taken. I would recommend this tour, but be sure to dress for the weather. I learned so much about the canyon, the land around the canyon, and the indigenous people living in and around the canyon. We even saw two beautiful rainbows that stretched to the sky from the floor of the canyon. The weather was so nasty, we could barely see the canyon vistas, but for the cost of our tickets, I could not justify cancelling. If it weren’t for the enthusiastic and well informed guide, the entire trip would have been a washout. If you decide to take this tour, keep a close eye on the weather! Perhaps the tour should have been cancelled, but I admit, I learned a lot in three hours.

Loved this experience. Had a fun off-road adventure through the forest before getting to the Grand Canyon. Our tour guide Werner was a lot of fun - not only incredibly knowledgable about the area, but also some personal stories as well. A great, shorter and fun option for a tour. Very happy we took this.
