Our driver and guide, Michael, was very good, very reliable and he shared lots of information about the area and Grand Canyon. He must have been an anthropology student , although much more mature now. He knew where to stop, which Grand Canyon entrances to take to maximize our experience and minimize in traffic. Overall an excellent experience!

Everything was exactly as shown on the web. We were picked up at our hotel, and our guide, Shawna, was excellent. I'd recommend Grand Canyon Adventures to anyone.
