Full day of Amazing Sights - J.R. was a very knowledgeable and entertaining driver. We got to see amazing views of the canyon while avoid the largest crowds. The Wupatki National Monument was a nice addition to the tour, along with lunch on the Reservation. A busy and rewarding day.

Best Tour EVER - Yesterday was our third trip to the Grand Canyon. The first one was on a large tour bus from Las Vegas, and we only got to stop at on site to view it. We were impressed, but didn't know what else to expect. The second time we drove ourselves from Las Vegas to The Sky Walk. Really enjoyed that. However, yesterday we did a guided tour, with 6 passengers, from Sedona. It was The Comprehensive Grand Canyon Tour from Sedona, bookthrough Viator. The itinerary was excellent, but our guide, Sheldon, was far above excellent. He knew the best places to see certain sites, as well as the best times to be there to avoid large crowds. Extremely knowledgeable and personable. Our first stop was at Sunset Crater Park, a volcanic site. We actually walked for 30 minutes through a lava field! Second stop was at Lomaki Ruins National . Monument, where we hiked to a handful of ancient dwellings. Cameron Trading Post was our shopping/lunch stop. He planned it so we got to the restaurant well ahead of the huge crowds that came while we were eating. Giant Navajo tacos! Finally arrived at The Grand Canyon. We stopped numerous times and places for extensive viewings. If we ever return, we will definitely book this tour, with Sheldon.

Perfect Tour we'll worth your time and money - Excellent tour. Our tour guide Charlie was knowledgeable and fun. He made our tour interesting for adults and children. We booked this tour since it included Sunset Crater and the Ruins. I had toured the north rim years ago and it included lunch on our own at the canyon. That was a total mess and we could not eat it was so busy. This tour we ate at Cameron Trading Post. It was relaxed and very enjoyable. This tour was so enjoyable and would highly recommend. Tour with Charlie your family will be in for an extra treat!

Great Tour with a Great Guide! - This was our first time in the Sedona area, so a guided tour up to the Grand Canyon was at the top of our "gotta see" list. We were incredibly fortunate to have Bobby V. as our driver/guide. He provided us with plenty of stories and background that made the experience go well beyond a basic sightseeing tour. His good nature, humor, and cultural/historical insights helped us better understand what we were seeing and why it is important. The tour included time to walk through Pueblo ruins, talk briefly with park rangers, and, of course, witness the incredible vistas of the Grand Canyon. We didn't have the best weather (breezy, cloudy, and occasionally drizzly), but it was a great experience nonetheless. It's a day-long tour with plenty of restroom breaks and opportunities to purchase snacks and lunch. Highly recommend this tour—and if you can get Bobby as your guide, that's a big bonus!

Stunning Grand Canyon tour - This tour is amazing!! We saw things we had no idea are in Arizona!! I highly recommend Sheldon as the tour guide. He knows so much about the history of everything we saw and was also funny and kind. The drive through Oak Creek Canyon at Sedona is beautiful! Then the lava fields are such a surprise! You can take a short hike through the lava. Next is the Pueblo Indian ruins, which are so interesting to see and learn about their way of life. Then a delicious lunch provided by the Cameron Trading Post in the Navajo nation. And that’s just the morning! We enter red the east gate of the Grand Canyon to avoid the crowds. The views are STUNNING! We had four stops with amazing views, and Sheldon knew of short trails to take us to more private viewing spots. Last stop was Grand Canyon Village. It was much busier there than anywhere we’d been all day. After exploring there, we headed back. I’d take this tour again tomorrow if I could! So well organized and informative. We could have never done this on our own!
