“One of the highlights of our trip!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

My husband and I were traveling to Arizona with our two children 9 and 12. It would be their first time to the Grand Canyon. Originally we had booked a train ride leaving from Willams which sounded a little chaotic and impersonal. We were told about "touch the southwest" by my brother and sister-in-law who had taken a personal tour... More

“South Rim of the Grand Canyon Tour was Extraordinary”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 7, 2012

Regarding the tour presented by Touch The Southwest, my wife and I had a lifetime experience. Probably the most important factor for making this tour a great trip was Jamie Bennett, our tour guide. Adding to her advanced college credentials, she was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of northern Arizona, including the Grand Canyon, and her personal touch with people... More

My husband and I were scheduled for their Grand Canyon tour earlier this month. We were so excited about this tour and the level of expertise of the guides. Our initial contacts were wonderful. However, my husband became violently ill during our short stay in Sedona and was confined to the bathroom for over 36 hours. I called to cancel... More

I am terribly sorry Ms "Feyest" was caught so off guard by our charging for her last minute cancellation. I'd like to explain... To begin, as stated on our website and brochures we maintain a "strict 48 hour cancellation policy." Ms "Feyest" called us around 1:00p the day before to cancel her tour, far less than 24 hours prior to... More
