We found the tour to be the best option as first time Grand Canyon visitors, instead of having to navigate the massive park on our own. We were picked up exactly on time from our Sedona hotel and, as passengers, were able to enjoy the breathtaking views of SR 89A, while learning about the area from our friendly and knowledgable guide. Mike provided just enough information about the area;s history, geography and nature. Although the canyon was clearly the awe-inspiring star of the day, the additional stops at a peaceful lava park and ancient runis added valuable dimensions to our understanding of the area.
