An awesome tour of the Southern Rim - This was a great experience to see so many breathtaking views at several points of interest! Our tour guide, Steve, was wonderful and was so informative regarding facts about the state of Arizona, the Geology of the canyon and so much of its wildlife as well. This was a day well-spent and not soon forgotten!!

Enjoyable trip - Convenient way to see the Grand Canyon with no decisions or problems. Nice van (and tour leader). We had a total of 7 guests so lots of room. The park was not crowded at all. January was a fantastic time to visit.

a history lesson in a beautiful setting - what a wonderful experience! Brian B was our guide and he was like a walking encyclopedia. He had so much information regarding the Canyon, the surrounding area, the Navajo, and he made the day go so fast. I highly recommend the tour and Brian for a guide.

Indescribable! Photos don't do it justice! - Wow - where to start?! I've wanted to see the Grand Canyon since I was a kid in the 70s and The Brady Bunch drove their wood-paneled station wagon out to Arizona. And last week, I finally made it happen! My son and I booked a South Rim tour with Angel's Gate Tours and had an absolutely phenomenal time. Our guide - Rasa - was a walking encyclopedia of Grand Canyon knowledge - he knew the history, the culture, the geology, plants and animals, etc. In addition he was a great conversationalist with a cute sense of humor. The whole day was packed full. But be prepared - seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time is an emotional experience. I shed some tears because I was so overwhelmed by its majesty and splendor (...that may sounds corny, but it's true). It was a beautiful and perfect day, which I will always remember. Thank you, Rasa!
