We went to the bottom of the Grand Canon. The most spectacular views.

5.00Going to the bottom of the Grand Canyon was a wonderful adventure. The driver was so much fun. I would go back and do this again.
Fun tour.

5.00Guides both in van and river trip were great. Didn't want it to end. Each did a great job explaining what we were seeing. Do need to give the van driver a little more time to get to the destination for them tour. This is a great tour.
Float Trip Fun but round trip ride Torture.

3.00We had an extremely gregarious driver/guide who provided a non stop stream of information about virtually everything within sight. Questions were welcome and encouraged. The round trip ride, however, was torturous. The float boat ride itself is calm and steady with no white water or current to worry you. The boat is almost always exposed to sunlight- wear long sleeved shirt and pants and a wide brim hat. The water temperature is most inviting if you are a polar bear, 47 degrees. You are invited to take the plunge and a couple of hearty souls did. As a man, I would not recommend the plunge to others of my species :)

5.00Ron and I really enjoyed the Glen Canyon Float Trip. It was relaxing and informative. Jeremy, our float guide, was wonderful and did a great job answering our questions. Sheldon, our bus driver, was also wonderful. We had no ideas about what to do with the rest of our time in the area and he was very helpful with ideas. He also had a lot of information about the area as we drove. I would definitely recommend this trip to families. The water was calm so it would be safe for kids of all ages. It was amazing. Thank you to everyone who made the trip possible.

5.00The tour began with a 3 hour van ride from Sedona to Page, AZ. Although our guide was super nice and extremely informative, I wish I would have known that the trip included a 6 hour round trip drive to the rafting location. There were no details about this part of the tour when I originally booked. However, the rafting experience was great! Our guide, Sonny, was of Navajo descent and knew of the local customs and history of his tribe. During our journey down the river, he shared interesting facts about the river and pointed out important geogological formations. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute on the river.

4.00This trip itself was very relaxing and the view from the river is amazing! The guide was informative and interesting. Truly something everyone should do! The only thing negative I have to say about the trip is that it is a long day! It's a 3 hour drive from Sedona to Page, where the tour begins. And another 3 hour drive back to Sedona from Lees Ferry.

4.00The Viator company, I believe, has many different tours happening at the same time(s). I booked this float trip before the Goverment shutdown and unfortunately was caught up in it as the Grand Canyon was "closed". This Viator company made a great suggestion to visit Monument Valley instead and I am glad I went! Spectacular, once in a lifetime experience, and also with our driver and tour guide "Lynn" with party of 7. Stop off at Cameroon Trading Post and Gouldings for lunch was perfect. Lynn made the entire trip; naturalist, historian, great sense of humor, and a great driver. We even saw a California Condor at sunset-how rare! My thanks to a company so well organized and communicative! DCB, Long Island, New York.
