Sedona to Grand Canyon Equinox; A perfect private day adventure!
Overview
Available languages
10 hours
Mobile ticket
For those that are seeking a more genuine tour, with a locally based tour company, this day is designed to focus solely on the Grand Canyon coming from Sedona, along the way up we drive through Oak Creek Canyon, passing through Flagstaff while sharing geology and history info the entire way. This tour is one of the few Grand Canyon tours that takes you through the painted desert! We then stop for lunch at Cameron Trading post within the historic Dine' (Navajo) reservation then enter first into the East Gate. We then visit 4 points of interests along the canyon and learn the geology, geography, and history/mystery of the Natives and settlers, finally exiting the park at the South Gate leaving no stone unturned. It's biggest advantage is a local guide that has studied all the relevant subjects, making the tour as comprehensive as possible and visiting more sites than most other tours, thus having the most amount of experience one could have while visiting the Grand Canyon for a day!

Exceptional Grand Canyon tour

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful Grand Canyon tour with Connor as our guide. His knowledge was incredible — he shared fascinating information about the flora, geology, and historical formation of the canyon that made the entire experience so much more meaningful and memorable. The drive through Oak Creek Canyon was breathtaking, and we also enjoyed stopping to shop at the Cameron Trading Post, which was a fun and unique part of the trip. Connor was friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about the area, which made the tour both educational and enjoyable from start to finish. GRAND CANYON was amazing! We highly recommend Connor to anyone looking for an exceptional Grand Canyon experience!

5.00Connor was great. He knew the ins and outs of the park, avoiding many of the crowds but still allowing us to see the canyon from various perspectives. He was, by far, the most knowledgeable guide we ever had on any excursion. From the geological to the cultural to the historical to even the spiritual, he was extremely well informed. Even our 10-year-old, who craves information about national parks, had every question answered and then some.

5.00Conner was the best tour guide ever. So much interesting information and facts about the entire area. The 2 hour drive to and from the Grand Canyon went by so quickly. He was very accommodating and patient. Never felt rushed. We definitely got our money’s worth and more. I highly recommend this tour.
Private Grand Canyon tour with kind, knowledgeable and trustworthy guide

5.00My mother and I had a fantastic day touring the Grand Canyon with Connor in early May. He picked us up and dropped us off promptly at our Sedona hotel. He was professional, knowledgeable and an easy conversationalist. We learned and explored more than we would have been able to do on our own. It was nice to sit back, relax and take in the views, history and geology without any added pressure or stress. He exhibited clear passion in the subject matter and shared a lot of interesting facts with us, but was never overbearing. A truly great guide and well worth the money (since this is a private tour, you can really maximize your time and tailor the day to your interests). Book early as his schedule fills up - you won't be disappointed!
