Excellent tour of the South Rim. Eric was very knowledgeable and provided powerful binoculars that helped tremendously. He also pointed out and described places of interest with historical and geological information. Eric did a great job providing for an excellent experience.
Eric was a superb tour guide. He made our sunset tour of the Grand Canyon south rim enlightening informative and enjoyable. His knowledge of the history geology and topography of the canyon was extensive and he interspersed it with personal and amusing anecdotes. Could not have asked for a better guide. He is highly recommended.
Your guide, Eric, will give you a memorable tour of his favorite place. He was knowledgeable, personable, and really cared about providing a good experience. 100% worth the cost and I would definitely tour with him again!
We stopped at several points along the south rim. Our tour guide provided interesting facts and commentary along the way. Snacks and drinks included. Along with a pair of binoculars. Sunset was beautiful!
Best part of our anniversary trip! Eric is a fantastic guide, incredibly smart and generous with his knowledge. He was very attentive assisting with binoculars (which he provided), snacks and drinks (also provided), and anything else to make us comfortable (hand warmers, etc). By the end of our sunset tour, we felt like we traveling with an old friend. Can’t recommend this tour enough!
Eric is fabulous. He’s very knowledgeable and a real joy to be around. The route is amazing and well worth the time.
Eric was an excellent tour guide. He brought us to see beautiful parts of the Grand Canyon. The sunset was exquisite. Eric is very friendly and approachable. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Grand Canyon. He presented the information in an interesting relatable way. He provided everything you need for the tour. He provided high tech binoculars to use during the tour, water, pop, coffee, tea, and snacks. The sunset was exquisite and the dinner was delicious. We also met some really great people on the tour. I highly recommend taking this tour.
This Grand Canyon South Rim Sunset Tour with Dinner deserves more than 5 stars. If I could give it a higher rating, I absolutely would. Our tour guide and owner, Eric, was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire tour. The tour itself was absolutely beautiful. Eric took us to some amazing viewpoints and shared so much interesting information along the way. He pointed out the different peaks and features of the Grand Canyon, which made the experience even more meaningful. My family all agreed this tour was amazing.
We had an amazing time on this tour. Eric our guide took us to 5 viewing spots around the south rim. He had a ton of information about the park, animals that live in the area, the trees and bushes, history, and pretty much anything to do with the Grand Canyon. He gave us each a pair of good binoculars to use throughout the tour that really helped you see the river, trails, and people walking around the rim. Sunset was amazing and dinner was really good. I would do this tour again next time we visit.
It was very worthwhile as Eric our tour guide told us many interesting facts and showed us different views that we had not seen. He even gave us binoculars and taught us how to use. Allowed for seeing a lot of detail that would have gone unnoticed otherwise.
