We booked the Max Tours – Grand Canyon, Seven Magic Mountains, and Hoover Dam tour for Nov 21 after watching a YouTube video.
We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel exactly as promised.
There were unlimited beverages and snacks available all day, which was a great.
The highlight of the tour was our amazing guide, Momo. She is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, which made our entire experience unforgettable. She engaged with every family, took her time with us, and made sure we enjoyed the best sightseeing spots.
Momo also took beautiful photos of us at the best viewpoints. She shared the history of every site we visited and made the whole day enjoyable and memorable.
Thank you, Momo, for being such a wonderful host and tour guide!
