      Fabulous Memorable Magical Tour Experience, Highly Recommend!
      Ahead of confirming our booking, I had the pleasure of exchanging emails and phone calls with Tulasi and a few other team members over several months. Each exchange built more confidence this was the right choice, and they took such good care of me and eventually our group of 5 friends, celebrating 2 birthdays. Everyone was informative, clear about deadlines, cancelation policies, and other logistics extending beyond the scope such as advice regarding weather in the areas we hoped to visit during January. Sam was such a fabulous guide, she was not only knowledgeable, she was so personable and it also seemed like she knew more than half of the town of Flagstaff, happy to make recommendations about places to visit in town. She also managed our expectations of timing at each location perfectly, let us know where to use the bathrooms, where we had time to browse for souvenirs, and gave advice on virtually every aspect. Traditions for Antelope Canyon, and some helpful information about Diné. Allowing for "controversial topics" while making it "a-political" was another part that made the drive together more relaxed. I had been wanting to visit Antelope Canyon for years - and it did not disappoint. I am still processing the hour and ten (or so) minutes experience, and the photos are stunning...being there was humbling. 5or6 million years of sand, water and wind sculpting these slot canyons... Highly recommend, the team at GCA are caring experts, with kind humanity.

      Private Grand Canyon tour
      We did the private Grand Canyon Day Tour from Flagstaff. The trip was great. Martin was our tour guide. He provided a lot of insight regarding the area and its history. He also had a telescope that enabled us to see additional aspects of the Canyon that couldn't be seen without it. Definitely recommended.

      Devon was a great tour guide!
      Our tour guide, Devon, was amazing! He was friendly, attentive, told great stories along the way, and knew all the rich history. He made himself available to take pictures for us and communicated proactively along the trip. He checked in with us throughout the trip and during lunch to make sure we were all comfortable. We did think we would be walking/hiking a little bit more into the canyon itself, but we didn't. Maybe that's a different tour?

      Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Day Tour from Flagstaff
      The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The experience was well planned and the guide (Milton) was amazing - nice picnic lunch included. If in Arizona again, we will book another experience!

      Antelope Canyon + Sam = The best day.
      This was incredible full day adventure that I highly recommend. The drives were long but Sam was so passionate about sharing her knowledge of geology and the beauty and wonder of the area that the drive went by quickly. Already planning another trip

      Fabulous Grand Canyon Tour with Outstanding Tour Guide!
      This Grand Canyon tour was the highlight of our memorable trip to Sedona in early November. Rick, our tour guide, was *incredibly* knowledgeable about Sedona and the Grand Canyon, having hiked the Canyon many times himself, including a river rafting excursion with his own family. He could, and did, answer EVERY question we had. A former teacher and school administrator, Rick had just the right balance of instruction and tour guide, and kept things interesting -- if not fascinating -- the entire time. Beautiful new bus, snacks, and lots of time to enjoy the majesty of the canyon with a small gathering of folks from around the world. Five stars to Grand Canyon Adventures and to their all-star guide, Rick!

      Great experience!
      Views were amazing. GCA guide Janelle was great, took care of the tourists. Orin Yellowman (guide) for Antelope Canyon was very energetic, enthusiastic and even taught us cool photography tricks. He helped each family with taking group pics. Shout out to him!!

      Excellent way to see the sites of Northern Arizona!
      This was a fascinating and educational tour. We saw Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon Dam, and Antelope Canyon. Each was unique in its own way. Our guide, Rick, was the best - so knowledgeable and answered all our questions. They provided a nice lunch and snacks/drinks. We also stopped at an Indian Trading Post along the way. The photos alone were worth the trip!

      Get off the fence & GO!
      Rocky, our guide, was warm, knowledgeable, and funny... Everything you want in a tour guide. I will be returning next year for the Grand Canyon tour. I was picked up in the morning, with ease, in Sedona & we headed north to Flagstaff to pick up a few more folks at the office. There you were able to take a reusable water bottle, grab coffee, & use the restroom. You have a couple of stops along the way, including a trading post on the Navajo Reservation. I never felt rushed at any of our stops along the way. I traveled solo, but this would be great for friends, family, & couples. Worth every penny! The van was comfy & there were 8 in our group. The lunch & snacks were great & I was appreciated the vegetarian option. Highly recommend thr Antelope Canyon tour. It's stunning.

      So enjoyable!
      We saw everything we wanted to see and more. The views would be fantastic in any case (it’s the Grand Canyon after all) but our day was enhanced by having an excellent guide who was very knowledgable and friendly, and demonstrated that she cared about our comfort and enjoyment. I could not have asked for better!

      An Awesome Guided Tour to Antelope Canyon
      The trip to Antelope Canyon was even better than expected! Our tour guide was extra friendly and helpful. It made the trip easier than trying to do it ourselves. The landscape, history, and photo ops were spectacular. We would recommend this trip to anyone.

    Our guide Milton was great. He was incredibly knowledgeable, was able to answer all our questions thoroughly and gave us a wonderful and comfortable experience. He brought a telescope so that we could see detailed parts of the canyon that were further away. This tour was well paced, not too difficult walking wise and we got to see so much. Would definitely recommend!

    My family of 4 had a great day at the Grand Canyon with Matt. We hiked a trail for a few hours (down 1100 feet) to an amazing ridge and Matt accommodated our different hiking abilities - of course I was slower than my husband and girls. He was great at taking pictures of the family and providing interesting information. We also stopped at a few places for the views and had lunch at this beautiful quiet spot. This was my favorite day of our week vacation seeing many national parks.

    It's always amazing to visit the South rim of the Grand Canyon. We went with a long time girlfriend and her husband. We did the rim hike part way, ate lunch and just admired the beauty of the Canyon!

    My family of 4 had a great Day at the Grand Canyon with Brad. We brought our twins for their 11th bday celebration. So glad we did the private guide with him. He was great from the start. Very informative and attentive to our twins and their myriad of questions. He thought of everything. Snacks, drinks, poles, lunch and was an awesome photographer. Lunch was delicious and he warned us about the aggressive squirrels. My husband and son tackled the ascent ahead of us and Brad held back with my daughter and I. I had a much "slower/full of breaks" strategy. My daughter is quite the talker so he chatted with her so I could focus on the challenge ahead. He was sooo encouraging and I could not have done this hike without him. I am also thankful that we were there at an unseasonly cool time :-). Thanks a ton Brad. I learned so much from you and I hope your life continues to be filled with nothing but positive and fruitful experiences.

    We only had a short time in the Grand Canyon, so we wanted to spend our time wisely. We thought a private guided day hike would be the best use of our short time, and Grand Canyon Adventures did not disappoint!

    Our guide, Matt, was fantastic from the moment he picked us up at our hotel. The vehicle was clean and stocked with snacks and drinks. Matt was friendly and very informative - we had tons of information just from the drive up to the south rim including a geological history of the canyon and the best hike for us that day. Matt was incredibly accommodating and patient - especially with our 10-year-old on the ascent! :-) Also, the lunch he carried into the canyon for us was delicious.

    When we go back, I know we'll call Grand Canyon Adventures again!

    We spent a wonderful day with Brad in the canyon. Hiked down Bright Angel trail and visited some of the highlights throughout the park. Brad was incredibly knowledgeable about the geological and human history of the park and surrounding area. We had a wonderful time.

    Took the hiking tour with Matt as our guide. It was an incredible day. He was eager to know what we were interested in and catered to our individual needs. Matt’s knowledge of the history and culture as well as the geology of the area was so interesting. We highly recommend this tour — great way to see and learn about the Grand Canyon.
