4-Hour Biblical Creation + Sunset Tour • Grand Canyon National Park South Rim

billbX4504OX, Sep 2026

Inspirational Views and Truth

Due to recent flooding in the Grand Canyon, we almost had to cancel this tour. We are very thankful with the help of Bryce and David, we got to experience this enlightening and inspiring tour. David was our wonderful guide. Besides taking us to several once-in-a-lifetime views, David provided geological, logical, and scriptural reasons the Grand Canyon shows a global flood happened and how the Canyon may have formed quickly instead of millions or billions of years. David also told interesting stories of the native Americans and settlers of this area. Keeping the number of people limited on the tour allows everyone to hear, ask questions, and share with each other. Great for people of all ages. There is walking on trails but David helped us older folk make it. This tour shows the majesty of the Grand Canyon and emboldens our faith in the majesty of God.

Fun and challenging hike into the Grand Canyon

Heck yeah we absolutely loved our guide Chris, booked with The Desert Hiking Company! He regaled us with funny stories of his own experiences hiking and being out in nature, and took care to make sure everyone had an experience well-suited to their abilities. He explained the geologic history of the Grand Canyon and pointed out different types of rocks and plants along the route. Chris also prepared a delicious lunch for us at Cedar Ridge, which was much appreciated after the challenging hike. We will definitely request Chris when we return to Arizona!

Grand Canyon Signature Hummer Tour with Optional Sunset Views

Kim_N, Sep 2026

Great guide and excursion! Well worth the time and money.

There were many excellent views of the Grand Canyon. Our guide, Jerry Lefthand, was extremely knowledgeable about the Canyon and history and customs of Native Americans that live in the area. He shared many stories and even taught us some Navajo words. Very enjoyable!

Grand Canyon South Rim Sunset Tour with Dinner included

Scott_E, Sep 2026

Good time with lots of history/facts

Eric was a great tour guide. He had lots of interesting commentary to share and took us to some wonderful spots along the south rim. His van was clean, comfortable and well equipped. His binoculars amazing and added greatly to the tour. Dinner consisted of going to a lodge on the rim and ordering off the menu (he allowed us to spend up to $30 for dinner/drink/etc). We are glad we took Eric's tour and would recommend it.

Desert View Grand Canyon Jeep Tour

Denise_E, Sep 2026

It was a total...

It was a total experience! From the time we purchased the packet (3hrs) to the end of the tour was nothing less the professional and fun! Our guide, William, was a tower of information! All the most beautiful stops with all the tidbits of info he knew made it extraordinary. I highly recommend the tour... just ask for William!

Mary_S, Sep 2026

Great canyon overview

We loved it! Since we only had a short time at the Canyon, this allowed us to hit the high points and get a feel for the park. Eric was great!

Fantastic Tour

Keaton is a very professional guide. He has extensive knowledge about the history of the Grand Canyon park. Would highly recommend his tour.

Down pour

Sam was a wonderful guide, until just a few minutes in we had a down pour and lightening. He kept up safe and got us back to the office

45-minute Helicopter Flight Over the Grand Canyon from Tusayan, Arizona

Volker_S, Sep 2026

Maverick is the company to choose.

Maverick is right at the North Entrance to the Airport. The crew at thee desk and the pilot were very helpful, professional and courteous. The flight was smooth and the space in the helicopter was more than sufficient. the 45minute flight is the one I recommend everyone. I am severely handicapped and they took me (others don't), so Maverick is the company to choose.

KaraXYZ, Aug 2026

Really fun!

We had a great pilot/guy take us on our tour over the canyon. What an amazing experience and really fun. He shared lots of interesting facts with us and showed us things. You could never see at eye level.

Grand Canyon Luxury Car Tour Experience

Great way to see Grand Canyon

Easy way to see the Grand Canyon. Tour included a very good lunch at one of the lodges. Guide, Cameron, was very knowledgeable and provided information about the canyon as well as the surrounding area.

The most perfect experience

The perfect way to experience the Grand Canyon. We had limited time and wanted to make the most of it, we couldn't have asked for a better guide. John was incredibly knowledgeable and made the trip, he knows so much about the canyon, plants, animals and history, not just of the Canyon, also Arizona and the local tribes. John brought the canyon to life and made the most amazing experience magical for us all (family of four with 13 & 14 year old). He communicated with us in advance and was flexible to meet our needs, he got us off the beaten track and ensured we captured to moment. I would highly recommend using Arizona Private tours, and if we are lucky enough to ever come back I will be booking them again.
