We went on a beautiful windy day with Werner on a 3 hour tour of the south rim. I can’t say enough how awesome Werner and our tour was. Werner was so incredible knowledgeable and you can tell he truly loved the GC and wants you to love it as well. What I loved most about the tour was the flexibility. When Werner noticed how much our group loved views of the Grand Canyon he adjusted the tour so we got additional views of the East rim while still making sure we got everything out of our experience. Highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting the area. Great way to maximize your visit to the GC. Thank you again Werner!

The Tour guide Werner was very knowledgeable and friendly and kept us all entertain. Our highlight must have been the very first stop and seeing the Grand Canyon magnitude for the first time
