Grand Canyon

Jennifer_B, May 2023

Best day here! Worth it 💯! Our tour guide was the absolute best. We got there before any busses, beat the crowd.

Fantastic experience

Jason_A, Apr 2023

Fantastic trip. Our guide Lankun “Mama” was phenomenal. She sequenced the stops appropriately to avoid the crowds. And mama is so knowledgeable. She sure knows her stuff!! Educated us on the history of all three sites. I’m not sure took a breath on the ride out to the canyon! And did I mention the pictures. Mama takes and shared tons of pictures. Such a nice touch. We made really wonderful memories. I highly recommend.

Grand Canyon/Hoover Dam Tour

Scott_A, Apr 2023

Tour started later than it said on website. Felt like we were all rushed and not left alone from tour guide to do what we wanted to. We were instructed to do certain things felt like we were being parented. There were teepees and other stuff at Eagle Point I didn’t notice until we were told at Guana Point by others that I would have loved to see and take pictures of that the guide never mentioned. The water that was provided wasn’t even cold. Lunch provided was from subway it was subpar. The one good thing was the communication through booking it.

Outstanding small group tour.

Jim_C, Apr 2023

This was an excellent your. Our guide, Alex , was a fountain of information and was very efficient at managing time and minimising queuing etc. We were very pleased with the amount of time at the Canyon and Dam. Alex ability to get the bus directly to key places at the Canyon was incredible useful and made the trip exceptionally good.

Excellent Photography and informative

Pub_G, Apr 2023

I only read the good reviews without actually thinking what im getting into. Please know this isnt a 1 hr trip, and know this is an excellent small private group van tour, not a short activity and go back home thing. If you know this is a tour, I say she is kind and the best tour guide ever. She gives you water, she gives you food, she really is knowledgable and takes care of you. She's really good at photography and sends you photos in seconds and knows how to do everything quicker than any other tour in my opinion. DYOR, but highly highly recommend.

Worth it for the convenience!

Ann_K, Mar 2023

Excellent tour. Alex was very knowledgeable and fun. Saved us lots of time booking this tour. Getting in and out of the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam was so easy due to Alex. It was so nice to sit back and enjoy the day!

Awesome

Nancy_A, Feb 2023

The weather wasn’t the great for pictures but our tour guide Alex made sure we had good one. Still worth it

Our guide Lankun aka Mama...

Tracy_A, Feb 2023

Our guide Lankun aka Mama was great because she was very informative and made the experience very fun.

Linda_C, Dec 2022

Enjoyed being in a small group with quick access to the sites. Alex was a great guide. Easy pick up & drop off at our hotel. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended

Claris_N, Dec 2022

Very impressive tour, highly recommended. Our guide, mama is very attentive and also a very good photographer. We took tons of beautiful photos.

Great + (Grand) Trip from Las Vegas!

Stephanie_P, Nov 2022

This tour was simply GRAND! My family and I had an amazing time taking in all of the sights throughout the day and felt like when it ended we had learned and seen SO much. Our tour guide, Alex, took great care of us and was extremely accommodating to the total group throughout. He kept us on track, shared a wealth of information, and was very kind. He knew all of the best spots to take photos and was more than willing to snap a few for us. I would highly recommend this tour and taking the short trip from Vegas to see stunning sites. 10/10

Fantastic Experience!

Shantell_L, Oct 2022

We had Lankun aka Mama! And just like a mama she took great care of us and took a TON of pictures that she shared with us! Could not recommend more! She was knowledgeable and took care of us every step of the way!

Personal attention for small groups

Juanita_P, Oct 2022

Fun. mama /Lankun is a joy. She took extra care of baby/Tommy. She is ver y knowledgeable about the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. Lots of walking but she held my hand all the way up to the top of the rock for some fantastic photos. She entertained us (6). Lots of water and funny stories. Very personal attention. October 13,2022. Small group tour.

Small group tour a must!

Debra_F, Oct 2022

Great experience. Small group tour is the way to go. We were able to get through any lines much quicker than the big bus tour and had more time to spend seeing the awesome sights. Our guide was very informative and fun. We could stay as long or as little as we wanted and the people in the tour group were fun to be with. We even got back a little early!! Definitely worth doing!!

Amazing Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam tour

Joe_H, Aug 2022

Mama was an excellent guide and gave us a memorable experience! The scenery was beautiful and breathtaking and getting to experience the Native American culture. We would definitely suggest this tour to anyone and the next time we visit we will be using it again.

Perfect day the Grand Canyon

christidisher, July 2022

Rueben is the best. We had a fantastic trip! After seeing all of the big buses packed with people we were very glad to have booked this small group tour.

Unforgettable experience!!

Begona_R, June 2022

I highly recommend this tour!! Lankun our guide was the most amazing tour guide! She goes above and beyond.. taking care of all of us and taking the most amazing pictures!! An unforgettable experience!! Thank you Mama for this!!

Highlight of our trip!

Rebecca_B, June 2022

Amazing day with fab tour guide Lankun, who was knowledgeable about the local area and gave us plenty of time to explore at each stop. We stopped at the Joshua trees, two Canyon points, the Hoover Dam, and Boulder City, and (thanks to Lankun) we have loads of great photos to take home and remember our experience by! A much more personal experience than a large coach tour. Well organised and good communication leading up to the day - would highly recommend!

Very good trip

Martin_E, May 2022

We started our trip from our hotel, we was meet by Lorenzo our tour guide, and would like to say we had a fantastic trip Lorenzo was very helpful and knowledgeable, I would recommend the small group tour as you have more time at each stop and not rushed.
