About this tour

Experience the Grand Canyon from two perspectives on a private hiking and sightseeing tour of the South Rim. Take in the sweeping views from the rim, then head below it for a hike that brings the canyon’s scale and rugged landscape closer.

Your knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide handles the driving and provides the hiking gear, so you can focus on the scenery. Travel in a custom touring vehicle or luxury SUV, with pickup and drop-off available from your stay in Flagstaff, Williams, Tusayan, or Grand Canyon. Backpacks, trekking poles, and micro-spikes are provided, along with water, soft drinks, and snacks throughout the day. A picnic lunch from Artisan's Kitchen is included; gluten-free and/or dairy-free sandwiches can be requested, and lunch is ordered after booking.

With door-to-door service and time both on and below the rim, this Grand Canyon private hiking and sightseeing tour makes it easy to enjoy a fuller South Rim visit. Bring sturdy shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and your camera, then set out to see the canyon at your own pace.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 133 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Flagstaff
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.3. Top 3% in Flagstaff means it ranks in the top 3% of tours in Flagstaff by this score.
