This was one of the best guided trips we have ever taken. We booked a private 10:45-sundown tour of the Grand Canyon and we were promised a tailored, luxury experience and the tour lived up to the promise and then some. Our guide David met us early at Under Canvas in a comfortable van that was stocked with a fantastic variety of cold drinks, fresh fruit, and snacks that started the trip off right.
It was exceptionally hot the day we scheduled our tour and we were concerned that we would have a difficult time with the heat. Our tour included our nine year old son and we were also worried he would be bored. David really made the trip enjoyable despite the heat. We were able to really get a sense of the majesty of the Grand Canyon through its wondrous beauty, its history, the danger it can present to the unprepared, as well as his relationship to the park.
Highlights are many but included:
* David made sure our first view of the park was breathtaking
* We avoided the crowds (big win!)
* Lunch was on a tablecloth, was delicious and included all the accoutrement
* Sunset wine toast with charcuterie and cheese
* Mindfulness moment to pause and reflect on the grandeur of the Grand Canyon
The biggest highlight though was that our nine year thought David was the coolest guy which meant he was totally into the experience.
We are looking forward to having All Star handle our next tour.
