Best Idea Ever!!! - They need to know the exceptional value of what they will receive for the fare. Eric is an A to Z tour guide(!), from the cleanliness of his vehicle to the thoughtfulness of his beverage and snack selection, from his comprehensive knowledge of everything seen on the tour to his very amiable company. And then he caps off the day with more of what feels like a terrific family feeling experience at a family owned restaurant with fantastic food. Really, don't choose anyone else. You'd just be missing out on the best. Eric, thank you for making our 35th wedding anniversary trip the most enjoyable and the most enriching time it could be for us.

Best part of our trip - Eric helped us avoid a 2 hour drive in the snow and reschedule for the next day with no penalty. He was extremely knowledgeable, not just about the history of the Grand Canyon, but the flora, fauna, and geological terminology as well. His vehicle was clean, organized, and very customized to make guests feel comfortable, and provided phone chargers, binoculars, and a plethora of snacks. There were even Twinkies! I would highly recommend this tour, and definitely the sunset option if available. And be sure to check the weather, that was our only mistake. Great tour!

Excellent tour guide - This was a great way to see the Grand Canyon for the first time! Eric was full of information on all the different rock formations in the canyon as well as history about the Indians and everything you would want to know about the history of the grand canyon!

Super Informative Tour! - Eric is an expert naturalist - he could tell us all about the geology of the canyon as well as the birds and other animals in the region. He was well prepared and worked hard to get us a great sunset view.

Tour Is Excellent - Just Book It! - I cannot say enough great things about Eric and the time we had on the Grand Canyon South Rim Sunset Tour. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the Grand Canyon and about its history. Also provided incredible hospitality with snacks, phone chargers, binoculars...all things to go the extra mile. Best money we have spent so far on our trip.

10 out of 10 southern rim tour - My family and I had the pleasure of taking a tour with Eric along some of his favorite looking points of the southern rim of the Grand Canyon. This was my 1st time visiting the Grand Canyon and the views absolutely took my breathe away! Eric was so knowledgeable and professional but made the experience so fun and enjoyable. His van was so clean and fully equipped with snacks and drinks to satisfy whatever you're craving. Sweet, savory, protein packed, he even had apple sauce pouches for the kids. I had coffee, my mom had tea and there was hot chocolate. There was plenty of water and he even had hand sanitizer which my germaphobe mom really appreciated lol. He had phone chargers and wifi. Eric was prepared for every weather condition with blankets, hand warmers, rain ponchos and umbrellas. He also had binoculars for each guest on tour and sized them to us and showed us how to tune them up. My favorite stop was where we were actually able to hike a little bit down and get some really awesome pics on a rock near a cliff. We also got to experience a couple get engaged there which was pretty special. We came across many people at these stops trying to navigate on their own and felt so lucky to have Eric because we made the most of our time and got to experience the best angles of the Canyon where we could see the Colorado River and he told us about what we were actually looking at and the history behind it which was really interesting. We met Eric at 230 and returned back around 7 where we also had dinner included in our $170 admission. The dinner was delicious and I definitely recommend the hot wings and chef salad. I feel that the price for this tour was more than worth it. My uncle lives in AZ and plans to come back with a new group of friends to experience it because it was that good. I would highly recommend 10 out of 10! Thank you Eric, for making my 1st time visit to the Canyon so very special and an experience I will never forget ❤️

Grand Canyon sunset and dinner tour - We were satisfied with Eric’s supply of snacks, hot drinks, binoculars, water, etc. during the 5-hour trip. He provided enough knowledge about the geology of Grand Canyon and showed his enthusiasm for his clients. The dinner was good and the service met our expectation.
