SOME OF RASA'S REVIEWS
"Our guide Rasa was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable, funny and provided abundant info on all the stops in the trip, as well as history of the area and its peoples. He kept everyone engaged and entertained throughout the day. Stops/Bio-breaks were well timed, which was good since he provided ample water to compensate for the heat and elevation. The stops included an ancient Native American ruin, Navaho Trading Post/lunch and multiple stops along the South rim of the Grand Canyon. For lunch, I’d recommend the Navaho Taco, which was delicious, but you might not be able to finish it! You have the option to walk as much, or as little as you want at each location, which suited both our active and not so active family members well. Overall, it was a great day, a trip I’d highly recommend! -John S. Grand Canyon with Ruins Tour
"Picture this, you’re driving to Sedona from Phoenix, and the 2 hour drive is pure misery because your 4 year old is acting like a total Richard. The very next day, you’re scheduled for an 11 hour tour of the Grand Canyon. Needless to say, expectations and general concern for the well being of the other guests on the tour were at an all time high. Then out of the morning suns glistens, a man among men named Rasa, who greeted us and everything in the world just felt right. If you’re going to book a tour with this agency, you’re foolish to not request Rasa by name. He has forgotten more than most know not just about the history of Sedona/The Grand Canyon, but overall history of the world/knowledge in general. Our kids were enthralled, and there wasn’t a moment where I wasn’t hanging on every word that came from Rasa’s lips throughout our time together. He knows the area like the back of his hand and handles that bus like he’s driving a roadster. I do not possess the ability to properly express and articulate not just how wonderful Rasa is as a tour guide, but how phenomenal Rasa is as a person. My life and my family’s life is better having spent the day with him. -Nat B. Grand Canyon with Ruins Tour
