Small-group Grand Canyon South Rim and Sedona tour from Phoenix with a 13-passenger van, Bell Rock photos, and guided rim viewpoints.

“We enjoyed the tour. Our driver/guide Aldo did a great job showing us Sedona and two spots at the Grand Canyon. He also made several rest stops at clean places and even took us to a special pie bakery on the way home. This is a very long day (about 13 hours from Scottsdale). Aldo kept us on time and on schedule. He provided a great soundtrack of blues when he was not providing tour narration.”

“Amazing experience. We did a 3 day, 2 night hike in the Grand Canyon with Discovery Treks. Katie J was our guide. An unforgettable trip. The majesty of the Grand Canyon speaks for itself. Discovery took care of every detail needed to make the trip a success. The equipment — even the van to get to GC - was top flight. I can’t say enough about our guide Katie. She had two inexperienced backpackers laughing throughout the trip and loving it. She was the ultimate cheerleader! If our energy dipped, she brought us back up. She made us tasty food, looked after our blisters and taught us lots!! Highly, highly…”
