About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- H6925GPjulied0 contributionsAwesome Customised Bucket List Trip! 5-Stars is NOT enough for this company!This tour company and its staff are amazing! I wanted to experience certain areas of Arizona but as a senior, travelling solo, it was difficult finding existing tours that covered the areas I wanted to go without going over areas that I had already been, and I didn't want to self drive. I needed someone to customise my trip. My first contact at All Star was with Ivy, almost 18mths prior to my intended travel date. Ivy was more than helpful, she was polite, friendly, knowledgeable, professional and very patient. She responded promptly to my every email (and there were lots of them) and anything I asked for, she could organise without a problem! Nothing detered her from helping me put my bucket list holiday together! It was expensive given the foreign exchange rate and the fact that I was travelling solo however, what I got far outweighed the cost. Over 4 days I had my own 'private' car with my own 'private' driver, all transfers, pick-ups drop offs, two 'private' picnic lunches inclusive of wine (if I so desired), two restaurant meals, all snacks, and bottled water. Ivy introduced me to my driver Dave about a month before I arrived into the US. Dave was the perfect tour guide. A local, he was most knowledgeable, and an absolute gentleman, so easy going and amiable. He picked me up from Phoenix Airport in a wonderfully, clean and comfortable vehicle and we stopped for dinner at El Encanto Dos, a popular Mexican restaurant on the way to Flagstaff. He helped me with my luggage at every stop and ensured everything was in order at my hotels before he left me. The main purpose of my trip was to visit Monument Valley, I'd organised to stay at The View Hotel for 2nts under my own steam and Dave got me there and back safely! We stopped in all the places I wanted to stop along the way including Forrest Gump Hill but Dave also made time to stop at other places of interest that I hadn’t thought of. At Cameron Trading Post, Dave set up the perfect picnic lunch that had been prepacked by Ivy according to my food preferences that we had discussed weeks earlier via email. Dave returned to pick me up two days later and we did some similar stops and another picnic lunch on the way back to Flagstaff. Over the next day or two, Dave escorted me to Montezuma Castle, Sunset Crater, Sedona and Airport Lookout, lunch at Dellepiane restaurant in Sedona, Tlaquepaque Village and the Chapel of the Holy Cross. I was also really pleased to have loads of time for gift shopping and plenty of photo stops, and then an unexpected bonus stop for cheese and wine before I had to say goodbye. Before leaving Flagstaff, I then had the pleasure of meeting Ivy which was an absolute delight after all the time we had spent communicating via email. Thank you Ivy. I simply cannot give All Star Grand Canyon Tours enough credit for the most awesome experience I have ever had, I felt really special and I am so glad I found you! Ivy and Dave, you both deserve 10 stars!!Written January 18, 2025
- Edstar550 contributionsTerrific Grand Canyon TourTremendous day with All Star in the Grand Canyon. Dave was our guide and could not have provided us with a better day. Its clear that Dave is passionate about the Canyon and showing groups around. We learned a great deal. I would highly recommend this guide, tour outfit, tour. First rate.Written November 28, 2024
- todm1440 contributionsThe BEST Day at Grand Canyon!An absolutely five-star day from start to finish. The arrangements were perfect in every way, and guide Patrick was incomparable - highly knowledgeable and very personable. Could not have asked for a better experience packed with memories. Don’t walk - run to sign a tour with All-Star Grand Canyon Tours!Written November 8, 2024
- Connector2956940 contributionsGrand Canyon tour and hikeOur guide Patrick is so easy to not only hike with but, to talk with. He know’s so much about music, sports and of course nature. Patrick is truly the best tour guide I could ask for, HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!Written November 7, 2024
- Sara M0 contributionsMagical Grand Canyon ExperienceWe had a wonderful day with John! He picked us up at the Grand Canyon Under Canvas property and he was so nice and helpful as we hiked the Hermit Trail. We learned a lot about the Grand Canyon and John was so attentive to our needs and skill level. The lunch was yummy and it was lovely eating overlooking the Grand Canyon. My only constructive feedback is that I didn’t appreciate that we paid a 10% booking fee booking thru under canvas directly. I would book directly with All Star Tours next time. Thanks for a magical experience!Written September 26, 2024
- lisacZ6220CJ0 contributionsDon't go to the Grand Canyon without ALL STAR TOURSTreat yourself and your family and friends to a tour with All Star. This was my 6th tour with the company, each time we go I wonder how All Star can top their last tour but they always do. Jeff our guide for the last 3 or 4 tours is the best! He makes each person in your party feel connected to, he shares so much knowledge and customizes the day to fit the people in your party. We have taken friends, elderly relatives, and couples. The sunset in the park with wine and charcuterie was the cherry on top.Written September 18, 2024
- 618elisabettap0 contributionsGreat way to see the Grand CanyonIt is a great way to see the Grand Canyon if you are not planning to hike down to the bottom. We saw amazing viewpoints, wildlife and trekked a portion of the rim walk. Very good and abundant lunch. Our guide, Dave, was nice, very good with kids and very knowledgeable about the Canyon and the area.Written September 9, 2024
- I5744DBalisons0 contributionsFantastic day hike to Skeleton PointBeautiful hike, customized for our family. Our guide was very experienced & knowledgeable about the trails, hiking, ecology, & wildlife. Lunch was very good. My kids & I really had a wonderful experience.Written August 12, 2024
- allisonmL4268HS0 contributionsPerfect Guide for your Grand Canyon Hike!David Spies was an EXCELLENT guide! This was our first Grand Canyon hike and we chose to do the Bright Angel Trail. David is a highly experienced hiker himself and knows how to ensure a wonderful experience! He can judge ability of hikers and adjust accordingly. He even prepares a delicious lunch and escorts you off the beaten path to have a private little break. We will be back to hike the GC again — but definitely want to do it with David!Written July 26, 2024
- foodswings0 contributionsA fantastic private tour of the Grand CanyonThis was one of the best guided trips we have ever taken. We booked a private 10:45-sundown tour of the Grand Canyon and we were promised a tailored, luxury experience and the tour lived up to the promise and then some. Our guide David met us early at Under Canvas in a comfortable van that was stocked with a fantastic variety of cold drinks, fresh fruit, and snacks that started the trip off right. It was exceptionally hot the day we scheduled our tour and we were concerned that we would have a difficult time with the heat. Our tour included our nine year old son and we were also worried he would be bored. David really made the trip enjoyable despite the heat. We were able to really get a sense of the majesty of the Grand Canyon through its wondrous beauty, its history, the danger it can present to the unprepared, as well as his relationship to the park. Highlights are many but included: * David made sure our first view of the park was breathtaking * We avoided the crowds (big win!) * Lunch was on a tablecloth, was delicious and included all the accoutrement * Sunset wine toast with charcuterie and cheese * Mindfulness moment to pause and reflect on the grandeur of the Grand Canyon The biggest highlight though was that our nine year thought David was the coolest guy which meant he was totally into the experience. We are looking forward to having All Star handle our next tour.Written July 14, 2024
- E7439PDbh0 contributionsFirst rateOutstanding. Very informative and John was a tremendous hiking guide. We received a solid historical overview on the way to the canyon and then a first rate experience along and below the rim at Bright Angel. Good time!Written July 7, 2024
- 502deenag0 contributionsExtremely great tourWe experienced a private tour to the Grand Tour and the whole thing was amazing! We were picked up at our hotel which was a bonus and the van was very comfortable, roomy and had usb ports so we could charge our phones. We had snacks and drinks readily available. Our guide was Patrick Boyd and I can’t say enough good things about him. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. He drove us to different spots to view the canyon and had a great telescope so we could see things all over the canyon. When it came time for lunch he set up a picnic table with a table cloth, laid out some delicious food and drinks. We enjoyed that the tour was just our family. Patrick took great care of us and we would happily do it again and highly highly recommend Patrick.Written July 4, 2024
- 660melanied0 contributionsBest day everJeff was our guide for a great day of hiking! He was full of information about the canyon and surrounding area. Jeff was patient when we needed extra support. After our hike, we had a wonderful lunch canyon side! I would recommend All Star. 😀Written June 11, 2024
- savery52100 contributionsBest Time Ever!!!We had a fantastic time. Jon was our guide and was very knowledgeable about the area. He did a great job with our group. For our short hike down the canyon, we had varying levels of fitness, and Jon made sure all of us were well taken care of. I highly recommend this option for anyone visiting the Grand Canyon with limited time and wanting to make the most of their experience. I can't wait to do it again!Written June 3, 2024
- Cruiser5242070 contributionsIncredible tour - Exceeded Every Expectation!We had an incredible experience with Ben and the All-Star Grand Canyon Team! Despite early morning snow, Ben did everything possible to preserve our all-day hike reservation. During the actual hike, Ben explained how the canyon was formed, talked about its history, and pointed out the many details you'd otherwise miss. He supplied all the necessary hiking gear and provided a great lunch. Every detail exceeded expectations! Our family highly recommends Ben and his team!Written May 4, 2024

Never did I imagine how incredible our day and tour at the Grand Canyon would be! We did a tour of the South Rim with Jeff, and it was superb. Jeff was such a knowledgeable and nice tour guide. My husband and I, along with our teenage son, loved him. He was great at avoiding crowds whenever possible, but even when there were some crowds, he was able to navigate and still give us such a personal experience. The lunch and the sunset charcuterie board were above and beyond amazing, and I cannot believe the lengths that All Star Grand Canyon Tours goes to to make the experience special. The van that Jeff drove us in was great, and even the snacks and drinks that were provided were unbelievably top-notch. I cannot express enough how highly my family recommends All Star Tours. We could not have seen and experienced the Grand Canyon like we did without them!

Nothing but the highest praise for this tour. Booking was easy and communication leading up to the date was very clear. Our family of 4 (kids 9&10) were picked up by Jon in a very clean, very comfortable and very upgraded Transit van right on schedule at our Flagstaff hotel. He was immediately friendly and asked us questions to help him customize the tour. Jon explained the history of the area/GC on the drive up. As we entered the South Rim Jon explained that he didn't want us to see the GC for the first time through a car window, so he was very intentional on where he drove/parked. He walked us up to a viewing spot and it was a PERFECT first view. He also had a telescope that he helped point out specific formations and landmarks. We had dinner at El Tovar overlooking the canyon. What an experience!! I cannot say enough positive things about this tour experience and Jon. Just absolutely fantastic. Book this... you won't be disappointed!!!!

The Grand Canyon sunset tour was an awesome experience. We could not have had a better guide than Rachel. Her knowledge of the wildlife, the canyon and Native American culture was amazing. She was so enthusiastic when we saw Elk triplets and a sighting of what appeared to be a very rare California Condor. She also knew to take us to spots less crowded yet with amazing views. She also knows a thing or two about taking memorable pictures. The location she took us for our Sunset Dinner was private and amazing. The dinner with real plates and silverware was very good and just added to the experience. I questioned myself about paying for a private family tour but felt very fortunate that I did and that I chose All-Star Grand Canyon tours and especially with Rachel as our guide. I’d recommend All-Star to everyone!

Everything about this co and the tour was amazing!! Ivy was so easy to work with. She was easy to talk to, helped pick the best tour option, gave us ideas on where to stay in Flagstaff. We booked a private all day with hike including tour from Flagstaff which included a sunset wine and cheese board. Jason was our guide. He was super nice, professional and made us feel really comfortable. He knows the area, the trees, the wild life and he knows the Grand Canyon and every trail. It was an unforgettable bucket list day!!!

Rather than explore what we had never seen by ourselves on our only day in Flagstaff, we booked the guided tour. Best decision we could have made!! We were picked up in a beautifully appointed smaller vehicle at our hotel by Rachel, the perfect tour guide. The van was stocked with water, drinks and snacks. The drive to and from the Canyon was filled with interest and facts we would never have known otherwise. She knew exactly where to take us for the best views, the maximum use of the time, a wonderful lunch. She carried a spotting scope so we could see boats on the river way below and other things beyond what the eye could pick up.
The Canyon from the southern side is spectacular. The cloudless weather helped.
And Rachel was perfect in her role - we felt we missed nothing and her energy, spark and knowledge made it one of those "forever" days. THANK YOU.

WOW! Everything about this trip was amazing! Molly, our guide, was a wealth of knowledge. She was amazing. She knew the land, animals, events, etc. We learned so much from her. She let us have some family time to take it all in and enjoy; she would set up her binoculars so and point out various points of interest; and she did a great job taking photos of our family.
The van was roomy and very comfortable equipped with plenty of snack and drinks for 2 adults and 3 kids. I would not want to tour the canyon any other way!
PS. we are gluten-free/vegan and we had some of the best food. We had a very delicious picnic under a shade tree. Real plates, utensils,and a wide assortment of fresh food. It truly was memorable.

This is my third time to travel to the Grand Canyon with All Star. This is the best way to see the Grand Canyon...hands down. We booked a custom tour each time and it’s worth it. They will totally customize your trip to what YOU want to do. Each time I’ve done something different. This was the first time I experienced the sunset at the GC and it was incredible!
All Star GC Tours take great pride in driving you to places you otherwise probably wouldn’t be able to go to or even know about. There are plenty of snacks, drinks and a beautiful lunch is prepared for you. If you stay for the sunset, not only are you treated to a perfect spot to view the sunset, your guide will set up a charcuterie board for you along with wine and/or your choice of beverages. Plenty of bottled water is available for you during your entire trip.
Each time, our guide has set up a scope for us to view far away places in the canyon that you cannot see with the naked eye. Just spectacular!
Our guides have always been very knowledgable and I learn something new each time. It is not a “scripted” tour. They take awesome photos of you and your group as well and provide everything you need.
Anyone I’ve recommended All Star GC Tours to have come back as thrilled as I always have.

We were staying at Under Canvas, and were greeting in the lobby for our 8 hour adventure. Our guide, David was absolutely amazing! So knowledgable, and didn't just recite from a script. He genuinely knew the area, and everything about it, and could field any and all questions we asked him! The sightseeing stops we very memorable also. Not just the tourist areas, but also David's favorites that weren't as well known, which meant little to no crowds. The provided picnic lunch was also top notch!

Had an incredible day sightseeing with our family of four young kids. Corey was both an exceptional tour guide and host, making sure that we were well fed and hydrated throughout the day. Corey had a wealth of knowledge that made the day incredibly informative as well, even providing a lookout scope at all the points we stopped along the way which enhanced the views. Finally, the van was very comfortable. Overall I would highly recommend this tour...

My adult daughter and I had a great day with Cody. Our tight flight schedule didn't allow flexibility and this was her Christmas present. Despite snowy roads, Cody picked us up at our hotel in Flagstaff and drove us to the Canyon. We had an awesome experience. Lunch was more than what I expected. We aren't the most accomplished hikers, but Cody was patient with our abilities and customized our day to meet our needs...like hustling out to get a pic at the Grand Canyon park sign before dark. I'm already thinking about my next trip to the Canyon with my women's hiking group and I'll 100% request Cody as my guide. Well worth the price. We felt safe and comfortable. New Year's Day hiking Grand Canyon, I mean...what's not to love?

Hello! Is this a private tour and what kind of vehicle will we be riding in?
Written March 9, 2020
It depends on the time of year you go. We went in February and there was only one other couple on the tour with us. The van is a luxury passenger van with bucket seats that seats 6. Getting in and out was relatively easy. Even though it is a larger passenger van it rode comfortably.
