What people love about Grand Canyon Tours for Seniors
- Sedona, Monument Valley & Antelope Canyon Experience 3D/2N (from Las Vegas)
It was an amazing and memorable tour , our group enjoyed the beautiful places and our tour guide was was very nice and knowledgeable.
- Grand Canyon and More 3 day tour
Best 3-Day Tour Ever! Our tour guide Christian was very knowledgeable & informative about the areas & their history. Our Navejo guides for Antelope Canyon & Monument Valley were helpful, kind & informative. The landscapes were breathtaking & the entire experience was well worth every penny. There was more walking than I thought there'd be, which was quite difficult for me at times, but the encouragement & patience from all the guides & participants were appreciated. Shuttle buses at the Grand Canyon were a blessing for those of us who are elderly & enabled us to see sights we would have missed otherwise. My only disappointment was my inability to walk horseshoe bend, but am grateful for those in our group willing to share their photos. The tour was an experience of a lifetime & one that is unforgetable & highly recommended!
- National Parks Winter Tour
As a family of 4 with 2 teenagers, we embarked on the 3 day accommodated Winter Tour to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon and Zion National Park in December. Mike, our Tour Guide, was very capable in every way and kept us entertained and informed about all the wonderful things we saw. He was able to relate to each member of the family regarding their own interests. The accommodation was very comfortable and cosy on the very cold December nights and the picnic lunches were tasty and nutritious. We'd highly recommend this tour as we feel it was the highlight of our 3 week visit to the USA.
