Our driver, Bob was wonderful. Shared great stories about the eccentric characters and legends of the canyon. By the end it felt like we had made a new friend. I was particularly glad I didn’t have to do the driving on the 2 hour drive back. Totally worth it.

Cameron form the onset was (even on the phone) enthusiastic and engaging. It was so infectious it didn't take long to decide to go with him. Not one regret with our decision. We were thoroughly impressed with his apparent love of the area that then was complimented by his extensive knowledge. Cameron did an excellent job in answering all our questions and queries. If we were to rate him with stars he would be a galaxy ------ truly, truly , a great experience

This is a perfect way to see the grand canyon in one day. You are guided by and expert - we had Keaton - he was excellent. You see many different aspects and along the way you are given just the right amount of education about the surrounding vegetation, history and all important geology of the area. There is nothing boring or dry - it is all made to be part of the fun. Would strongly recommend this as a great way to realize this is so much more than " a big hole in the ground"!!

It was breath taking views from the West Grand Canyon which is 2.5 hours away from Las Vegas. However, you must buy the bus ticket to the Canyon from the gate which is about $30 per person. Also, Cristal bridge entrance is another around $20 per person.

We had an amazing time on our private Grand Canyon tour. Chris was very accommodating of us. We started at 7:45 AM in Sedona and had a beautiful drive out to the Grand Canyon filled with great conversation & many interesting facts from Chris about the region. The van was clean, comfortable and spacious. The Grand Canyon tour was fantastic, we would not have seen as much had we driven there on our own. Chris optimized our time so that we had as much time as possible at the Canyon. Also the lunch was incredible, he somehow managed to get us a reservation at the El Tovar Dining Room! From start to finish a fantastic day that I would recommend to anyone looking to see the Grand Canyon.

A++ Adventure! Wildland Trekking sets the standard for adventure hiking. No gear – no problem, they provide high quality gear for you to use. Our guides (JP and Ruthie) were extremely personable and engaging, making it easy for the group to connect early in the trip. They were also very knowledgeable, taking time to tell stories or point out areas of interest along our daily route. They accommodated all the food preferences of the group without sacrificing quality and variety – loved that each guide shared their favorite dishes with us. Can you say cookbook? Camp sites were spectacular and well-spaced so that hiking distance was manageable each day – even had a day where we spent lounging in the clear and refreshing waters of the Paria River. If you are looking for a hiking adventure, look no further than Wildland Trekking – I guarantee you will not be disappointed. We are looking forward already to our next trip with Wildland!

This is the only private, VIP Grand Canyon Sunset Tour of ten or less in Las Vegas (to Grand Canyon South Rim). The Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular sites on earth. A sunset over it is even more stunning! We begin by picking you up at your hotel, include a McDonald's breakfast, picnic lunch, photo stop at Hoover Dam, rest stop in Kingman, Arizona, photo stop on Route 66, fully-guided and narrated two mile walk, and the Grand Canyon Sunset. Our focus is on your experience at the Grand Canyon so we minimize our group sizes to maximize your tour experience. We'll spend three hours at the Grand Canyon, having a picnic lunch there and walking along the upper rim trail. The trail is very easy, flat, and paved. We'll walk from El Tovar Hotel to Yavapai Observation Station, where we'll set up and watch the sun set. The peaceful walk along the upper rim trail introduces you to the surreal, tranquil beauty of the Grand Canyon.

Inclusions: Breakfast, Lunch, All Fees and Taxes

My family had a great time with Ben! He told us stories, jokes, facts and histories. We smelled and tasted juniper berries. Looked at all the trees, guessed how old they were with his help. Our lunch was served on a tablecloth with real plates at Hermits Rest ( I think that was it) with an amazing view. As a fellow business owner, I enjoyed that he was using products sourced from his fellow local business friends. We hiked Grand View Trail and ascended to the "air conditioner" a rock outcropping where we enjoyed the last rays of sunset in absolute privacy. Before we left him, he gave us tips on where to off-road with our jeep. We had another great day doing the Schnebly Hill Road and it was just such a cool experience. I would do it again and the kids really want to go back and hike with Ben!
