Absolutely impeccable tour and our tour guide could not have been better. Scott Rimes was our guide and he treated us like one of his own for our 2-day tour. He showed us all of the hidden gems and truly knew everything about all of the sites on top of always checking on us and offering us snacks/restroom breaks. Can’t recommend enough and make sure you ask for Scott cause he was amazing!

My tour guide, Scott, did a great job of making the entire 3 day tour memorable for my family and I. He got us and the 10 other travelers on the van to each location safely throughout the duration of the tour. I enjoyed seeing each tour stop and having adequate time to stop, take pictures, and explore. Each spot was amazing, and thanks to Scott's intel, I was able to learn a lot about our surroundings. I had never been to Arizona, Utah, or Nevada before this tour, and I was able to learn and see so much in just 3 days. Overall, this tour was something new for me to try and ended up being absolutely worth it.

Natural and Manmade Wonders Great tour and terrific guide. Enough snacks, stops, info and jokes to keep everybody happy. Jim was a great guide - not overly chatty, entertaining and knowledgeable. Enough free time to wander on your own and not feel pushed or rushed. Very clear instructions on navigating the skywalk and bus transfer from Eagle Point to Guano Point.

Fairly early start from the Sahara at 6:30am, but then you get the most out of the day and avoided the long vehicle queues at the Hoover Dam. Got back around 7pm.

12 of us in the van, which was very comfortable. Highly recommend this tour.

Saw everything we could have hoped for. Amazing and comfortable. Left very early with a bit of driving the first day. Van was comfortable. Scott was great! Grand Canyon south Rim looked like it was AI generated, Many photo and bathroom stops. With 3 people I was very happy that the Wyndham had 2 Queens. Since we went mid-January there were no crowds which we loved. It was much colder than Vegas but not bad. Back by 7pm the next day.
