I have been on a number of tours with so called guides, but Marv is the best. Picked us up at our hotel, and the entire day was completely enjoyable. He knows more about the Grand Canyon and surrounding area than anyone. He took pictures of us with our camera and with his. At the end of the day he... More

Marvelous Marv's Grand Canyon Tour was a great first day orientation to the Grand Canyon. He picks you up at your hotel in Williams around 9a for a 45 min drive over. He takes you in his van to some good vantage points, shows you the new orientation center, a geology museum/station, quick lunch at Yavapai cafeteria, then to the... More

If you are a "boomer" and love the less hectic, crowded vacation then hire Marv to get you to the Grand Canyon. Marv got us there in his comfortable van and educated us every mile of the way. His consideration for my "altitude issues" was exceptional. We enjoyed hearing his comments as well as the facts about the Canyon and... More

I will not go into all the great things about this tour. If you want a relaxed trip to the Grand Canyon with a knowledgeable and caring tour guide, this is for you. I found the price very reasonable. I would go again in a minute. More

This guy will end up crashing his van one of these days. So fast driving up to the canyon for what we thought was going to be a relaxing day. Very dangerous driver, passing all the time on a two lane road. More
