The Perfect Sunset
Carleen_R
, Jun 2022
The most memorable part of the tour was seeing the sun set from a beautiful vantage spot on the Sourh Rim of the Grand Canyon. What a joy! Shelia was an excellent guide who shared so much knowledge, really enhancing our experience!! She knew exactly when to guide and when to give us some time to just quietly marvel at the wonder of the canyon and surrounding forest. I highly recommend this tour and Shelia as your guide!
The best trip to Grand Canyon

Our tour guide, Sheila, was amazing. I would definitely book with this company again. I loved the back roads tour, but my favorite was the amazing pics that Sheila took for us. We had my elderly parents with us and she was so patient with them.

We had a great time on the sunset tour, traveling on the dirt roads looking at all the wildlife and seeing the wild horses, Cara was very nice, definitely will do it again, next time we hope to see even more animals and wildlife.
A little pizazz before The Grand Canyon.

Our guide Werner was fantastic! He told us a lot of history and he was able to give us some examples of animals we did not see with photos. We saw tons of animals on this tour as well. We also saw a beautiful Sun Set!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
