SOME OF ANDREA'S REVIEWS
"We absolutely loved the tour with Andrea as our driver and guide. We all agreed she was by far the best tour guide we've ever had. She was knowledgeable and informative, without being annoying the way some guides can be, and had a very nice, casual and friendly manner. I add also that Great West Tours [part of the Arizona Travel and Tour Group] are fantastic. We had booked the Grand Canyon tour and train ride, but that morning our daughter came down sick, and my wife was going to do the tour alone rather than lose the deposit etc. [They] very kindly allowed us to reschedule for the following day and changed the train reservations and everything. The tour was great and I highly recommend the train ride in the first-class dome carriage at least one-way, if not return. Andrea dropped us off at the station in Williams, which is very interesting with a little cowboy theatrical performance. The history of the railroad is interesting as are the carriages. There are refreshments and drinks on the train and some cowboy entertainment. We enjoyed the scenery from the train and felt very privileged to see a herd of wild horses. The last part of the train ride into the canyons is very scenic. Andrea met us at the station at the Grand Canyon and shuttled us in the tour van to the restaurant and lookout, where we rejoined the other members of the tour who didn't book the train ride. We had lunch and Andrea drove us through the park stopping at all the vistas and vantage points, for photos ops etc. We felt we had thoroughly "done" the Grand Canyon by the end of the day. We then drove to the Navajo tourist trading post, where we had 30 minutes to shop for Navajo arts and crafts. Andrea then returned us, dropping off guests in Flagstaff and then the rest of us in Sedona. It was a long day, but very much worth it, very much enjoyable with Andrea, and we can cross the Grand Canyon off our bucket list. Thank you Great West Tours and Andrea for a fantastic and memorable day." -Jenn S. Historic Grand Canyon Railway Tour
"The trip was fantastic. I was picked up in Sedona and we made our to Flagstaff for the other participants. The tour guide was Andrea, she was great. She shared knowledge about Arizona vegetation, topography, rock and volcanic formation and much more. She is very knowledgeable. And also has great personality. I enjoyed the small group size versus large tour I took from Las Vegas. I recommend the tour and if Andrea is your guide you will love love love it." -Sherri F. Grand Canyon Tour
"Our tour guide Andrea was amazing! She picked us up at our hotel and we made two more stops before heading to our first stop on the agenda. Andrea is knowledgeable and made sure each of us were hydrated and stopped for bathrooms. Going in a small group was great as we did not have to wait long for people to get back to the van after each stop. We enjoyed visiting the ruins, going to lunch on the Indian Reservation, and of course the Grand Canyon. A long day, but so worth it!" -Barbara G. Grand Canyon with Ruins Tour
"This was our first trip to Arizona and because we had a great experience on our tours we plan to visit Arizona again. We were fortunate to have Andrea Corral as our tour guide for all of our tours. She is professional, very knowledgeable and personable. Thank you, Andrea!" -Maria C. Grand Canyon Tours
"Perfect intro to the Grand Canyon from Sedona. The name of our tour was "Grand Canyon with Ruins" from Sedona. Lunch was included, though we did not have it ourselves. We were picked up from Arabella hotel at 7:25am by a delightful tour guide/driver named Andrea Corral. She has lived in Sedona for 20+ years so is very knowledgeable of the area. The van seated about 10 passengers, but there were only 7 of us altogether so room to move! Andrea was very personable, spoke clearly and audibly for the back of the van, and filled us in with facts of the different areas we drove through or stopped at (the Wupatki pueblo ruins, the Navajo Nation and the south rim and Grand Canyon village). She was a careful driver. This tour was a great way to see the Grand Canyon in a short timeframe, without the hassle of getting park passes and parking a vehicle. We entered the south rim gate from the east end, no vehicle queue at all. On the way there we got to see Little Colorado canyon, one of the largest side canyons - 45 mi long starting at Cameron on the Navajo nation where we'd had lunch, and Marble canyon (where you can actually see the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon, unlike at the more western main gate Access point). We had plenty of pitstops for toilet breaks and/or shopping. At the rim we had about an hour to wander, sightsee or walk down the Bright Angel trail for about 1k. It was closed below that for maintenance. I would highly recommend this tour as an introduction to the Grand Canyon and seeing it hassle free. We'll be back to see it in more depth!!" -Kat M. Grand Canyon with Ruins Tour
"Spectacular! We had a wonderful time with Andrea. We had never been to the Grand Canyon - truly spectacular. Andrea took us to 4 or 5 stops and had great knowledge of the canyon and the areas along the trip. Lunch was lovely. Really enjoyed having the flexibility to stop at many places on our own pace. She also had great local recommendations in Sedona." -Z. Family Historic Railway Tour to Grand Canyon Tour
"Great! Our tour guide Andrea Corral was amazing! Very professional, knowledgeable, punctual. You can tell she is passionate about her job and caring individual. Highly recommend this tour and Andrea." -Roxana Grand Canyon Tours
"Great way to view the Grand Canyon! This tour, and Andrea the guide, was great! The tour was a big loop from Sedona to Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monuments, to the Navajo reservation, and onto the Grand Canyon. Andrea had a lot of interesting information that she shared about scenery, Arizona, and tips to make the experience enjoyable at the different stops. This was a great day! I would use this company again for tours in Arizona." -Monica M. Grand Canyon with Ruins Tour
"Perfect Day Trip! Highly Recommend! Wonderful day trip from Sedona! Our guide, Andrea picked us up promptly at our resort. The van was very comfortable and we made friends with some of the other couples we were traveling with. Andrea made several stops along the way so restroom breaks were never an issue. She even made time for a few bonus site-seeing stops!
Lunch was very good. She had a menu in the van and placed our order so it was ready when we got to the restaurant. The restaurant staff was so efficient and friendly, and the food was tasty. Be sure to get the fries!!
She hand-picked our Navajo guide, Leonard, for the Antelope Canyon portion. He was so knowledgeable about the history, amazing at getting great pictures, and showing us a few camera tricks we could use as well. He even brought his Native American flute along and played for us in the canyon. Amazing! I am so glad we did this tour and would absolutely recommend it!" -Becky C. Antelope Canyon Tour
