“The Grand Canyon Tour!”
AMAZING tour! Everything we had hoped for and more!
Viator review: Al was AMAZING! He is the kind of guy who loves live, and he shares his experiences and perspective with you. Of course, we went to some touristy areas – pretty hard to avoid at the Grand Canyon.
Al would take us off of the beaten path though and get us some amazing photo opportunities. He shared a wealth of information with us (I think he said he was just shy of 1,000 tours up there!), and was able to mix a good bit of humor in as well. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone! AL IS A BLAST!
Excellent Guide for the Grand Canyon Trip!!
Viator review: Al, provided us with a comprehensive and fun filled trip. Al has extensive knowledge of the Grand Canyon.
He talked to us about the fascinating things we saw along the way and made the trip an adventure to remember.
Everyone should see the Grand Canyon at least once in their lifetime.
Viator review: The Perfect Grand Canyon Tour with Local Expert Guides
The beauty of the canyon is something everyone should experience.
Having lunch on a rock along the canyon was also quite nice. We had amazing weather with pure blue skies
so that made it perfect.
Best views, best guide
Viator review: Unparalleled views; a warm caring guide who knew everything, including every local stop along the way and was able to improvise around weather and crowds
We even had live music played for us; a comfy little bus with big windows. We loved it.
Great day, Great driver, Great experience.
Viator review: Excellent experience to the Grand Canyon. Starting in Sedona we had a beautiful drive to Flagstaf then on to the Canyon. Al was a great driver with plenty of knowledge of the area. Very attentive and considerate of passengers. Was available yet felt like we were on our own.
Great day at the Grand Canyon and Al set us up and let us go at our own pace and was waiting when we were finished. Much better than trying to go on our own, no worry of parking or driving and was able to enjoy the sights much more. Thanks for a great experience and would recommend to anyone wanting a more relaxing day.
Best Time Ever
Tripadvisor review: Scenic Sedona Tours was an excellent choice to explore what Sedona has to offer. Tom took us to the highlights of Sedona and we didn’t have to drive ourselves. We were just able to enjoy the sights.
Tom provided many extra details at each place. His skills and knowledge was outstanding; he also was a great driver. Treat yourselves to travel with Scenic Sedona Tours.

VOTED #1 TOUR
6AM~11PM
Mather Point: 20 minutes
For many visitors coming to the South Rim, Mather Point offers the first glimpse of a world wonder. A short walk from the Grand Canyon Visitor Center and parking lots 1-4, Mather Point offers an expansive view of the canyon. On a clear day you can see 30+ miles (48 km) to the east and 60+ miles (96 km) to the west. Looking down into the canyon you can see a few small samples of the Colorado River, Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the canyon, and numerous trails crisscrossing the landscape.
Yavapai Point 50 minutes
Perched right on the very edge of the canyon rim at Yavapai Point, Yavapai Geology Museum offers one of the best vantage points for an overview of Grand Canyon geology. Annotated displays at the base of the panoramic windows show you where to look to see each group of rocks. You can walk between rock column models of the North and South Rims, learn the names of the various rock layers, discover information about the geologic history recorded in the rocks, and visualize the carving of the modern landscape.
The Hopi House / El Tovar Hotel: 40 minutes
Built in 1904 as concessioner facilities at the South Rim were being developed, it is the first of eight projects at the Grand Canyon that were designed by architect Mary Colter, along with Bright Angel Lodge, Hermit’s Rest, Lookout Studio, Phantom Ranch, Desert View Watchtower, Colter Hall and Victor Hall, (the latter two being employee dormitories). Hopi House was built by the Fred Harvey Company as a market for Native American crafts, made by artisans on the site. The Hopi, as the historic inhabitants of the area, were chosen as the featured artisans, and the building was designed to closely resemble a traditional Hopi pueblo. Hopi House opened on January 1, 1905, two weeks before the El Tovar Hotel, located just to the west, was opened.
Kolb Studio / Bright Angel: 30 minutes
At first glance, Kolb Studio appears to be just an old house perched on the rim of the canyon.
However, if you step inside, or see it from Bright Angel Trail on your hike out of the canyon, you get the sense it is much more than that.
This is the Victorian home of the Kolb Brothers who created a lasting legacy of adventure, exploration, family love, and amazing Grand Canyon photography that will last as long as the Canyon itself.
Moran Point: 20 minutes
Along with Desert View, Grandview and Yaki, Moran is one of the most visited points on the east rim drive, and offers far reaching views along a wide section of the Grand Canyon, approximately between river miles 87 and 72. The point is due south of Cape Royal on the North Rim – just 8 miles away in a straight line but 215 miles by road. The promontory is reached by a short spur road and was named after the landscape painter Thomas Moran who came here for the first time in 1873 and helped popularize the canyon, leading eventually to its incorporation as a national monument in 1908 (and a national park in 1919).
Desert View Watchtower: 30 minutes
Near the eastern edge of Grand Canyon National Park, where the Colorado River begins to turn north and the Painted Desert stretches toward the Navajo and Hopi Reservations, a 70-foot-tall circular stone structure perched on the South Rim draws visitors’ attention. What at first glance appears to be an ancient Native American ruin, made with reddish sandstone, this tallest structure on the South Rim is actually a well-planned, relatively modern building that architect Mary Colter designed for the Fred Harvey Company.
Although the Great Depression slowed tourism at the Grand Canyon somewhat, the Fred Harvey Company continued to look for ways to expand its services and economic opportunities. The Desert View Watchtower was one of several construction projects the Company initiated in the 1930s, many of them Colter designs. Like Hopi House, another Grand Canyon structure that Colter developed for Fred Harvey, this building played into the Company’s reputation as a purveyor and promoter of Native American arts, crafts, and culture.
