Doing what: 2-Day Grand Canyon Tour from Phoenix
We thoroughly enjoyed the guide who drove us to the Grand Canyon. He was extremely knowledgable and gave us much information regarding the history and geography of the region. He pointed out areas of interest during the entire trip. Our only issue was with the overnight accommodations. Your confirmation indicated that we would be staying at the Grand Hotel or Best Western which, I assume would be in Tusayan. Instead, we spent the night at a cabin at Maswik Lodge. While there are some advantages to staying inside the Canyon, we would have appreciated having a choice. The accommodations were rather primitive no air conditioning and no hot water the following morning. While we very much enjoyed our ride and the Grand Canyon experience, the room left much to be desired since we do enjoy the amenities of air conditioning and hot water! We would really have preferred choosing our room and being given the option of paying extra for an upgrade.

Doing what: Grand Canyon via Sedona and Navajo Reservation
Full day trip that provided a nice overview of Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Had enough time to get a good feeling of the sites.

Doing what: Grand Canyon Helicopter and Ground Tour From Phoenix
Was given a call the day before to let me know the pick up time. The driver was very knowledgable and friendly and made the drive much better. The helicopter tour was incredible and viewpoints across the Grand Canyon fantastic. Words cant describe how fasinating the Canyon is, you need to see it in person to experiance just how huge it is. Would highly reccomend this service.

Doing what: Grand Canyon via Sedona and Navajo Reservation
Thought our time in Grand Canyon was too long, especially final stop, and would have enjoyed more time in Sedona church visit and at the very least more scenic photo opportunities. Driver was very good. He made the tour interesting, and I would definitely do another trip with him.

Long trip but was a quick way to see Sedona and the Grand Canyon for those who don't have much time.

The tour was outstanding! Our first time to the Grand Canyon and the general area. The tour guide was incredible! Very knowledgable, friendly, organized, and he kept things interesting the whole time. The Canyon was beautiful! Our guide took us to several stops in the Canyon, many different views. Great pictures! He also provided a lot of important info we would have never known had we not taken the tour, general desert safety, plant safety, canyon no-no's, etc. We made several stops along the way, and he showed us all kinds of interesting desert features tofrom the canyon. Very nice! The helicopter ride was way cool! The only way to see the Canyon!

Doing what: 2-Day Grand Canyon Tour from Phoenix
My friend and I enjoyed the chance to leave Phoenix, which was very hot, and travel in an air-conditioned van to the higher altitudes and slightly cooler temperatures. Our driver gave us interesting bits of information on the geology, geography and history of the areas we were travelling through, which made the trip enjoyable. The Grand Canyon was amazing, and we saw some fantastic views while we were travelling in the van and later as we walked along the rim to enjoy a fantastic sunset. We stayed in Grand Canyon National Park overnight and saw the sun rising the next morning. The return trip was not as much fun. First of all, the van was loaded with tired people who had tried to see the Grand Canyon in a one-day trip. Maybe this is doable if you are very young, but I would never recommend it. Our driver was friendly, but we had no commentary on the trip back to Phoenix. It was just 4 hours to be gotten through. I felt this could have been changed if the driver had perhaps asked us to introduce ourselves to the other travellers, or had pointed out some of the things we might have missed on the way up to the canyon. All in all, it was definitely a trip worth taking...and there were a few things could have made it better. We didn't get much information from anybody about what the trip would be like.

Doing what: Grand Canyon West Rim Adventure and Skywalk
The guide who flew us to the Grand Canyon and accompanied us was great. The canyon was awesome. The West Rim Skywalk experience was tacky and rushed and not something I would do again. Different trip next time.

A great way to see lots of AZ if you don't have much time. We'd like to spend more time at the Grand Canyon in the future.

The route was scenic and the Grand Canyon was spectacular. I would have liked to stay in Sedona a little longer.

Fantastic tour, absolutely an amazing experience! Our driver was extremely knowledgeable and very informative. I believe the only way to truly experience the Grand Canyon and its grandeur is by helicopter. Would highly recommend this tour.

Our Grand Canyon Adventure was marvelous! Our tour guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable about many things along the tour. While the views of the Grand Canyon from various places along the rim were outstanding, the views from the helicopter were simply spectacular! The tour operator was timely, effective, and efficient, which was much appreciated.

Doing what: Grand Canyon Helicopter and Ground Tour From Phoenix
I had one day of free time in a busy week of meetings and conferences. My goal was to see as much of Arizona's natural beauty as I could in that free time. The Grand Canyon Helicopter Adventure did just that. The door-to-door service at my hotel was easy and convenient. The tour guide/driver with his local knowledge of nature, rocks and scenic vistas never let us miss the WOW photographs along the route. The helicopter ride was the icing on the cake for it's unique views of the canyon. The ride was smooth and quiet with nice music and narration played in your headset. It's a long day because it's a big state with much to see. I would NOT have been exposed to the same photo opportunities, information, and items along the way if I rented a car and tried to see the desert, Sedona, the Navajo reservation and the Grand Canyon myself.

Not many days can you say you flew in a small plane, rode in a helicopter, floated in a pontoon boat, rode a bus, and walked out over the Grand Canyon. Every minute was viewtacular, shutter bugs will love this trip, as well as couples.

Doing what: 2-Day Grand Canyon Tour from Phoenix
Both days we had wonderful tour operators. Very knowledgeable, and made the trip there and back to Sedona/Grand Canyon a lot more enjoyable with their jokes and trivia of everywhere we passed through. I'm so glad we took the 2 day trip after reviewing the 1 day trip being too short by everyone. The hotel Grand Hotel was very clean, there's a cheap continental buffet for about $7 per person in the morning for breakfast before heading back out to the Grand Canyon, or you can just go literally a 2 minute walk to plenty of other restaraunts/fast food places. We avoided the helicopter ride due to the additional cost 160.00 per person for the 20-30 minute ride, but the 4 from our 12 team that did go had a good time.
This tour made the perfect trip for myself and my husband, we had no real interest in hiking or riding the rapids at the Little Colorado river at the bottom of the Canyon, so the 2 days were more than enough time to enjoy ourselves. The second day we had from dawn until 3.15pm to enjoy the sights by ourselves without feeling like we were there too long. I would give 5 stars, but the top rating is 4 stars, so that will have to do! If you're trying to decide between 1 or 2 days, 100% go with the 2, the 1 day simply doesn't have enough legal driving hours to take in everything that you'll want to!
