The canyon is breathtaking, the guide was amazing. We didn't like being charged $8 cash/each in addition to the ticket price, on arrival, plus another $2 each on top of it. Also, there are way too many people in the canyon at the same tim..e. And then there was a photography group. We paid prime price too, yet had to wait for and work around them.Read full review
I originally tried to book the 11:30am tour , after I booked online, I was then contacted quickly and informed that 11:30 am tour was no longer available and I was booked on the 12:45pm tour.
I did not get an updated itinerary before we departed. Therefore I had different expectations of where we would stay etc.
Our driver (Miles) was excellent, very calm, courteous, personable and an excellent driver. He drove over a thousand.. miles and stayed cheerful at all times!
The guides Stefano and Hiro were helpful and knowledgeable. It was noticeable that Hiro’s Japanese tourists received resources and maps that we didn’t receive. Stefano was exceptionally patient and gave interesting information.
Overall the tour was excellent value for money.
In Page there are restaurants within walking distance of the hotel but we were advised to buy supermarket food and eat in our bedrooms which was unnecessary. There is a Marriot courtyard bistro just 10m away and other places within 15 m walk. This is not the guide’s fault, as a company you could provide a local map with eating places and distances marked. Too much reliance on fast food outlets isn’t healthy.
The Valley of Fire was excellent and we would have happily stayed longer.Read full review
The tour itself is amazing! Being nickled and died when you get there for $8 per person fee at one location and $10 per person, both cash only, at the other, is very disappointing!!
It felt like another world. The tour was good but like tours of these kinds there are a lot of people even though we went to the 8:45 slot. Still very much worth doing. The tour guys was very knowledgeable and great at knowing how to take p..icturesRead full review
