“Grand Canyon Tour”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

The tour was excellent. Bruce was our guide and was extremely informative about the geology of the area. And the lunch they provided was out of this world. Everyone wanted the recipes but to no avail. I will be using Touch of the Southwest for other tours. I highly recommend them for thier friendly and knowledgeable service.
