5.00Eric was awesome! He has so much knowledge about the canyon and its history. Also, it is evident that he is super passionate about sharing that knowledge. It was a wonderful experience!

5.00They 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

5.00Eric 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

5.00Eric 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.
