The tour company was excellent, and the tour certainly lived up to its billing. A particular word of thanks to our guide driver, whose cheerfulness and wisdom really made our day. The schedule is pretty tight and we did not have much time to enjoy lunch, but we have no other criticisms. We even enjoyed the Skywalk, but noted that the guide was careful not to oversell this optional, but apparently quite controversial, attraction.

Tour operator has been around the traps for a long time and knew the region very well. Fantastic service from pick up to drop off. Guide was excellent and good fun. When arriving at the West Rim for our helicopter trip it definitely helps to be with a tour as we were ushered right through and waited less than 20 minutes to get aboard. A fantastic day and a trip I would highly recommend to all. With a lot of these things it all comes down to the tour operators and I couldn't rate this highly enough.

EXCELLENT! We went off road through the Arizona desert; the guide was excellent, & we saw things that we would've missed by air. I cannot recommend this enough!

Fantastic time on this tour! We had an on-time pickup at our hotel and an informative drive across Hoover Dam. The lookout stop is brief, but we had time to get some great pictures. I advise you use the port-o-potties there if you have to go, or else it'll be about another 45-60 minutes until the next stop. Saw mountain goats and 4 coyotes on our drive. Joshua trees are neat and plentiful. Dirt road is quite bouncy and REALLY dusty--NO idea how the driver could see at times! They messed up our a lunch a bit, but that was OK--we ended up getting both a sub and then the barbecue. Don't expect this though--would recommend you buy a snack, and ask the guide if the barbecue is an option. Helicopter was amazing and shouldn't be missed. Was lucky to sit up front and got some awesome pictures. Boat ride seemed just long enough to me...guide was easy to understand, very informative. Helicopter out is a bit spooky, but the pilots are top notch. We six skipped the Skywalk and took the bus ride to Guano Park for the BBQ lunch, corn on the cob, BBQ beef, thin boneless chicken, some kind of sweet cornbread dessert, with cold drinks...it was nothing fancy, but better than the sub, in our book. If you're really hungry, no problem to go back through until you are full. View there was the best! VERY spooky, so I stayed away from the edges, but panoramic and amazing. The ride back was nice, and the guide even took us on a side road to see a herd of mountain sheep that were grazing in a park....the guide was really great, and the trip was unforgettable!
