Jim was great. Had lots of knowledge to share along the way. He never acted like he was tired of the tour or bored with the details during our 3 days with him. Made sure to get us back in time for concert plans that night. I felt very safe being in his care...even during his bad jokes! It was great...we'd do it again in a heartbeat. THANKS JIM!!!

I joined a 3-day, 2-night tour covering Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon and our guide Momo elevated every moment.

Momo's knowledge of the geology, history and culture of each destination was extraordinary. What really set Momo apart was her genuine warmth and care for every person in the group. She anticipated needs before we even voiced them — making sure everyone had enough water in the desert heat, finding the best vantage points for photos, and keeping energy levels high even on the longest driving stretches with her infectious enthusiasm and stories.

The logistics of covering this much ground in 3 days is genuinely complex, but Momo made it feel completely effortless. Every stop was perfectly timed, every transition smooth, and every moment felt curated rather than rushed.

I went on the Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam, and Seven Magic Mountains Tour. If you’re in Vegas this is a must do. You get to tick off the Grand Canyon but you also see much more around the area. I loved that we were able to tick off the Vegas Sign as well as the Canyon in one trip. We had Chad as our guide who was fantastic. He had great knowledge and provided great insight whilst also helping with anything we needed. The snacks and drinks in the cooler in the back were great as we were able to keep hydrated and not go hungry throughout the day. Chad did a great job keeping us on time and showing us the best spot for great pictures. Highly recommend.

We cannot say enough about how wonderful Max Tours was yesterday! From the first handshake to the last goodbye our trip was informative, fun and exciting. The tours are smaller and quaint. The atmosphere is relaxed and you get to know your fellow travelers. The tour buses are extremely clean and lots of outlets to charge your devices! We HIGHLY recommend asking for Jonny as your driver! You WILL not be disappointed! Not only will he be your very SAFE driver, but your guide/photographer/ food server, history buff and comic! Jonny gives you great tips and tricks to navigate the venues quickly so your viewing time is maximized. His suggestions on fabulous spots for photo shots were perfect for what we were looking for. Great company, super continental breakfast and snacks. LOTS of pitstops to stretch your legs and enjoy the weather! You will be doing yourself an injustice chosing another company, guaranteed. Thank Jonny and Dale!

This was my first time visiting the U.S., and I joined the Grand Canyon 2-day tour with Max Tour — it was absolutely worth it!

I’m so glad we had Ken as our guide. He is passionate about traveling, highly experienced, and very professional. Since we were not familiar with the area, he shared a lot of interesting history, cultural insights, and geographical knowledge with us throughout the trip. He also took us to some hidden spots that made the experience even more special and memorable.

On top of that, Ken is also a great photographer! He helped us capture many fun and beautiful moments during the tour. At the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, where some areas can be a bit dangerous, he always made sure to explain safety precautions in advance and looked after everyone carefully, so we could truly enjoy and connect with nature with peace of mind.

Ken is someone you can completely trust. If this is your first time visiting the U.S. and you’re planning a trip to the Grand Canyon, I highly recommend requesting Ken from Max Tour — he is absolutely the best choice! ⭐

人生第一次來到美國,就參加了 Max Tour 的大峽谷兩日遊,真的非常值得!

很開心能認識導遊 Ken,他是一位對旅遊充滿熱情、經驗豐富又非常專業的導遊。在這兩天的行程中,因為我們對當地不熟悉,他不僅詳細地為我們介紹許多歷史文化與地理知識,還帶我們造訪不少私房景點,讓整趟旅程更加精彩、難忘。

此外,Ken 還很會拍照,幫我們捕捉了許多有趣又美好的瞬間。尤其在大峽谷南緣一些較為危險的地段,他總是先細心提醒安全注意事項,並時時留意每位團員的狀況,讓我們能安心又更親近大自然。

Ken 真的是一位值得信賴的導遊。如果你和我一樣是第一次來美國,計畫前往大峽谷旅遊,強烈推薦指名 Max Tour 的 Ken,他絕對是最棒的選擇!
