This was my second trip to Grand Canyon but my first time booking a tour. Our tour guide Sheldon was wonderful. He showed us several beautiful look out points of Grand Canyon. We did not feel rushed and Sheldon was very accommodating to everyone’s needs. Picked up and dropped off at our Airbnb which was a great bonus.

Joe Gebo was a fantastic tour guide for our 2.5 hour bus ride around Sedona. He stopped twice to get us out for 10 to 15 minutes to take pictures and look around. He was so knowledgeable about the town and it's history. It was a really enjoyable ride. I would highly recommend it if you want to see the scenery without hiking.

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.

As a return guest, I cannot reccomend Empire Vacations highly enough! With affordable tours, and excellent guides, they always make travelling fun and easy. In a jam-packed 5 day tour from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Sedona, Monument Valley, Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon, you will experience some of the best attractions the USA has to offer. As you journey through California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah, you will see some of the desert's most photogenic landscapes, and learn the natural and cultural history of each region. Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon were the highlights with both offering exceptional, local Navajo guides to educate visitors on the history of two of the places. This tour offers the perfect balance of scheduled tours at attractions and free time to explore the cities at your own pace. The accommodation in each location was clean and the complimentary breakfast was tasty but simple. On our tour we had two guides - Jacob and Dino. Both were knowledgable, professional, humourous, flexible, and made the trip memorable. Suitable for people of all ages, I recommend this tour to families, couples, and solo travellers alike. If you are seeking the adventure of a lifetime, this is the trip for you.

I understand that we are all dealing with Covid 19 during this stressful time. However we decided to take this tour and booked many weeks ahead. The tour was cancelled as we were boarding our flight to fly out west and left us stranded. No hotels. Just sent a little email saying I hope you get this email that the tour is cancelled. Extremely unprofessional. Didn’t offer to try to help us make other arrangements. Will definitely hesitate to book on Viator again.
