Keep calm and enjoy the ride with Kevin! My world-traveled 88 year old dad bounced along with us and thought Kevin was the best tour guide ever. He was knowledgeable, witty, loves the canyon and shares legends and stories. Most of all, he was very protective, a safe driver and made sure we all had the experience of a lifetime!

The Canyonland sunset tour in a comfy SUV, with a knowledgeable guide was exactly what we were hoping for. That’s exactly what we got! Guide Kevin Walker took us on an extraordinary trip through time. There are many tour company options n Moab, and they earned their 5 🌟! 4 hours flew by, and never will I forget the beauty, the colors, and the GRANDEUR!! with limited time in Moab to explore I felt our time was well spent. Can’t wait for our next trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed the half-day tour with Zed. The scenery was just spectacular! He has a wealth of knowledge of Canyonlands and the Moab area. Historical info and a song he sung made the day special. Would highly recommend to everyone. Thanks Zed. Chuck and Shelley.
