The tour guide is a bit like opening a blind box. Some tour guides will introduce the environment, and some are very good at helping to take pictures. The one assigned to me this time was Justin. He has first-class photography skills but no introduction. However, the scenery is really beautiful and the journey is also very relaxing.

This time, the three-day and two-night trip to the national park was mainly arranged by Bundlestiff Travel Company. The tour guide is very considerate. Before the trip, he will send an email to confirm the age and gender of the participants (mainly to assess their physical condition). The whole trip will explain to everyone the precautions at the beginning (remember to bring cash before the trip, for example, we added the lower Antelope tour and needed to pay 80 USD on the spot, and the guide tip was 75 USD after the trip). During the trip, I communicated and took photos with tourists from various countries. The atmosphere was quite harmonious. I think it was a worthwhile trip. The scenery of the US national parks is so beautiful that it is beyond words. It is highly recommended to tourists who want to experience the beauty of the national parks.

This was an amazing experience. I recommend booking the upper canyon if you don't like a lot of walking or climbing. It's so pretty. Our tour guide Mama was very helpful and made sure we had a great time and great photos. Everything was organized. It was a long day but worth it. Highly recommended.

Visiting the Grand Canyon State (Arizona ) is absolutely at the top of my bucket list! It’s a breathtaking marvel of nature and one of the world’s wonders. I can hardly contain my excitement at the thought of standing in awe before its vastness and stunning beauty. I’ll be grateful to God for the chance to witness such an incredible sight firsthand!
