Ben was an excellent tour guide with a wealth of knowledge of the canyon, history and so many actual stories of days past! There were 7 of us in a very comfortable vehicle. He engaged all of us ..seniors , adults and children .. knew all of our names. He had a scope to view deep in the canyon. Took children to a fossilized area. Beautiful presentation of a picnic lunch and snacks galore tailored to our likings. Very passionate about his work. We would do it again! Cari was the intake person who customized our tour and had bent over backwards to accommodate us. Thank you both for a memorable tour experience!

Molly was unforgettable. Her knowledge of the Grand Canyon exceeded any expectations our family had. My husband and 2 of our adult children had a glorious day hiking to OOH AAH Point, learning about the stunning geology and animal life, eating a delicious prepared picnic lunch and feeding the adorable mules. We loved Molly so much, my husband and I will come back for the Rim to Rim hike and request Molly for our guide.

Molly was a terrific guide on our private Grand Canyon day tour from Sedona. She kept our 2 teenage grandsons attention with her knowledge of the area as we drove to the grand Canyon. Molly negotiated the viewing areas in the park to allow us to take lovely photos. Her spotting scope brought the canyon and river up close and personal. The day was very special and Molly was the catalyst.
