The canyon was the best part, of course. But we accidentally arrived two hours early and the guides graciously switched us to an earlier trip. And then their was our guide, Loretta was smart, knowledgeable and delightful. I highly reccomend these folks.

Our guide Tyron was outstanding - exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging, and always ready to answer questions while keeping the group entertained throughout the tour. Everything was perfectly organized, with plenty of time to fully take in the beauty of Secret Canyon at a relaxed pace. One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to capture stunning photos without crowds -whether it was the glowing canyon walls on their own or with my companion, there was always space and time to get the perfect shot. The experience felt personal and unhurried, which made a huge difference. The same applies to the breathtaking view of Horseshoe Bend. Having such an iconic location almost to ourselves, shared only with our group, made it feel truly special and undisturbed. As an added bonus, I even learned a great deal about my iPhone camera—Tyron gave excellent tips on how to adjust the settings to match the light and surroundings, which really elevated my photos. Altogether, this was an unforgettable and genuinely outstanding experience - highly recommended

We arrived 70 minutes early because GPS told us there was a time change. The woman behind the counter told us that if the other couple didnt show up, we could move to that tour. They did show up so we went back to our original time but that was a very nice gesture and thank you! Our guide was Malcolm and he was super knowledable, funny and friendly! His explanation of how the canyon formations came to be was simple and informative. Best part of our entire road trip!! Thank you for an amazing time!

First, I would like to Thank Loreta, she's a wonderful driver and tour guide. We explored the private land owned by her ancestors on our way to the Canyon. We drove through rugged hills and roads which adds the thrill and excitement 😀 The canyon is amazingly beautiful. We are in awe. One must experience it to appreciate its beauty and to feel the energy of this wonderful place. I didn't have enough of it. I would have love stay a little longer. 😍❤️👌👍

I had such an incredible time on my tour. It was so peaceful in the canyon and the overlook to horseshoe bend was beautiful. I was the only person on my tour at the time, so I did get to spend a little more time taking in all the beauty the canyon has to offer. My guide was amazing and told me all the history of the canyon and horseshoe bend. I also got some great photos at different areas of the canyon. Such an amazing experience and I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Our Guide Loretta was super awesome and very helpful. It is perfect if you want to experience peaceful and composed grant canyon exploration. The off road trip to private entrance area is also a memorable one and our guide spend more time to explain everything about the geography and their tribal history.
