What people love about Grand Canyon Tours for Seniors
- Grand Canyon and More 3 day tour
Thank you guys for an incredible experience, I have just returned from the 3 day Grand Canyon and more trip and was over the moon with it. It is a fairly busy schedule but there was plenty of time to see everything and the guide was knowledgeable and informative. The Antelope canyon option is a must, the place is amazing and the Grand Canyon has to be seen, I found the first sight of the canyon quite emotional, it really is incredible. All I can say is if you are considering this tour, just do it…..we came from the UK just to do this tour and would use Bindlestiff again in a heartbeat.”
It was phenomenal! Sights, hikes, people, food, enhanced our journey.
