“Kevin was an amazing tour guide and made the trip for us. It was incredible to see the Grand Canyon and meeting points and times were all clearly laid out to us by Kevin. When our South Rim tour was cancelled due to weather, we were booked straight onto the West Rim tour which I would highly recommend as it is less driving and more time at the Canyon.”

Review the Grand Canyon Deluxe Day Trip from Sedona, with South Rim views, Oak Creek Canyon, Cameron Trading Post, costs, and practical tips.

“From the moment we stepped on the bus, Stevie B was a most exceptional guide to a place like no other. Steve made the drive up interesting with his expert knowledge. And the Canyon itself is hard to imagine. Each stop brought more and more of the canyon into focus. As a private tour, Steve was very accommodating in tailoring our experience to our exact desires, I cannot recommend this enough!”

3.Death Valley & Rhyolite Ghost Town Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 289 reviews · 10 hours · from $170

Review of the Death Valley day trip from Las Vegas, with Zabriskie Point, Badwater Basin, Rhyolite, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“Bin was very friendly and communicated very well from the start of the tour. He shared a lot of interesting facts as well as his own experiences with various groups and kept us entertained and occupied throughout the tour. He gave us sufficient time to explore the places. He even got us some snacks and plenty of water. There were also one unexpected but very interesting stop which was not part of the itinerary. Overall, it was very enjoyable despite it raining all day (which is unheard of as per Bin) and lots of clouds which blocked some of the spectacular views we were expecting. However, it was still amazing…”
