Canyon tours
Our tour guide Anthony was absolutely amazing. He certainly went the extra mile for all the guests, nothing was to much trouble for him. If we had any concerns or queries, he was there to help. He was so knowledgeable & enthusiastic.We were the only couple from the UK on this tour, everyone else was Chinese but this just made the tour even more enjoyable. Everyone was so friendly & Anthony ensured we weren't left out as he would repeat any information in English. The tour itself was amazing & worth every penny.I would recommend this tour & CTours to all my friends & family.Thank you Anthony, you really did make our trip extra special

Guide was very informative
The guide was very informative and helpful to show the places. Only one thing we expected a Van with group of maximum 15 people but it was a Tesla only the two travelers were me and my friend. In the beginning we were little worried but it was very good trip.

San Francisco to Las Vegas Grand Canyon 4 Day Tour
Adrian_S, Feb 2026
Didn't get Vegas night tour but days 2 and 3 were amazing Thanks Simon
We booked this tour which said it was in english last minute due to being let down by another operator. We had problems with comunications because uk phones wouldn't provide phone or momile data cover. However the organisers persisted and we got ourselves to the pick up early but never received the full itinerary. we were taken to another pick up in Oakland but had to wait over an hour before a minibus picked us up. Everyone else was chinese and spoke very little English. The driver Ron could speak fair english and was friendly. Because of the delay we got to Vegas late and missed the complementary night tour. but were offered a night tour for 50dollars each. We were dropped off at the Strat which was excellent and a Cinese couple Mr and Mrs Lam helped us out with confirming arrangements for day 2. Days 2 and 3 were great we changed to a 50 seater bus and a new Guide Simon Dong. We were still the only 2 non Chinese on the bus but Simon was fluent chinese and spoke very good English did a live comentary in both languages. We visited the Grand Canyon Imax and had lunch then went into the Canyon for the afternoon then ended up at Page Days in, Day 3 we left page at Days Inn at Dawn and were at Horseshoe bend for sunrise which was amazing. From there we visited Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell and Glenn Canyon Dam then had a scenic drive from North Arizona back to the Strat via south Utah and Nevada. We left the trip in Vegas as we were flying on to Miami. Thanks Simon great job.

This was a great audio guide!
I've been to Point Reyes any number of times, but I was going with someone who had never been before so I was looking for a list of sites to stop at and this popped up. It was worth EVERY penny! The narration was great, it gave a lot of information and told you where to turn and park in order to see things, and we really enjoyed listening to it as we drove through the park. Fantastic guide!

A Perfect Day in Nature Thanks to Maggie
The experience was fantastic. Maggie was an outstanding host and guide—thoughtful, knowledgeable, and fun. The van was stocked with great snacks, and she gave us plenty of freedom and time to explore both the Redwoods and the beach. We spent most of the day immersed in stunning nature, watching surfers, and enjoying hot dogs—not stuck in a van. I’d absolutely book this again. Thanks, Maggie!
