Toney was a very informative, friendly, funny, warm and kind person! I've done a lot of traveling in my life, and this was one of the top five experiences of my 43 years! I highly recommend doing a tour because there are places you can only visit on a guided tour. Also, depending on the vehicle you have, the roads could be a bit rough. I love that this tour service has open-air seats (but covered). It provides for a lot more photo opportunities for everyone in the vehicle as compared to an enclosed van. We had 7 in our group: 3 adults, a 13-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 1-year-old. We went with another family that was 2 adults, 2 kids. Bring water, snacks, and also money for the vendors at John Ford's Point, and don't forget to tip your amazing guide. Toney does a fantastic job! Also bring fully charged phones/cameras. I took hundreds of pictures. ❤
