We booked a day from Sedona to the Grand Canyon and with Chris and it was excellent. Having Chris drive and be our guide allowed us to enjoy the scenic views and maximize our time seeing the canyon. We enjoyed his very interesting stories about the natives, land, geology, history, vegetation, etc. Our boys (11,12 years old) were also very engaged. Instead of having my head in a guide book I could just enjoy his commentary and the view. He was able to answer all of our questions. He made adjustments to itinerary that allowed us to get the most out of the day. Would highly recommend booking with Chris.

Nina was the best! She picked us up at our B&B just outside of town, loaded with snacks and a nice, comfy ride. She even brought along some extra gear in case we weren't prepared for the incoming snow. Lunch at the historic El Tovar was a very nice touch. Nina has extensive knowledge of The Grand Canyon due to her own hiking experiences in the area. She gave us a wonderful introduction, kept us out of the park lines, showed us the most beautiful highlights, and even manifested three rainbows to our delight!

Thank you for your sweet words, Dana - I wish I could take credit for the rainbows, but it was indeed an unforgettable snowy spring day. All the best to you and Mona, Nina
