We did not have time to plan the trip ourselves and we found Highland Vista Tours to customize our trip. We started with our planned itineraries and we had to make last minute changes prior to our trip. We are from California and I forgot about the time zone changes in both Arizona and Utah. Tiffin was very accommodating of our change requests and he also made recommendations based on his experiences. The communication (emails, phone calls, texts) between us were great before, during and after our trip. Thank you Tiffin and Highland Vista Tours for making it a very memorable trip for us.

We chose the 4:30 tour that focuses on the underground tunnels. Scott is amazing! He does his research, and is very fun to be around. His tours take you to multiple locations around the downtown area with stories and engages with his clients. If he doesn't have an answer for a question, he makes it worth asking and says he would be happy to look into it instead of the traditional IDK answer. We would be happy to attend his other tours next time we are around flagstaff.

We bought tickets for the Flagstaff Underground tour on Groupon not really knowing what to expect…read more We are from Mesa, so we chose a weekend, booked a stay at Hotel Monte Vista & made an overnight trip out of it. At first, I was having some technical difficulties redeeming the Groupon online. However, I followed the merchant email instructions & sent a message letting the business know that I was struggling to book our tour. Scott emailed me back very quickly and assisted me with getting everything set up. We were given clear instructions on where to meet up before the tour. The tour group consisted of approximately 7 guests (including my husband and I) I am not going to add any spoilers here, because I recommend that anyone who is intrigued about some Wild West Flagstaff history should hear it straight from Scott's mouth. Scott is such an enthusiastic person who has immense passion for the history of his city. He made the tour so much fun! He clearly puts a great amount of effort into putting his tours together. He let us know that not every tour is the same, he switches them up to keep things from getting bland. The tour was 90 minutes long, we walked around downtown Flagstaff and received tons of information about the history of the area. As we hit a historic mark, Scott would share photos of what the specific spots looked like in the early 1900's, and even pointed out small details that the average passerby may not even notice. It was very cool! I also appreciated that the tour did not feel rushed. Scott allowed ample time for questions, and it was clear that he enjoyed having additional conversations with guests on the tour about each specific site. He was not in a hurry, he just thoroughly enjoys his job! The funny part is, when we saw other groups from other companies out on tours, the night before, the groups looked bored, the tour guides were barely talking.... It honestly made me nervous about our upcoming tour. Luckily for us, we made the right choice! My favorite part of the tour was catching a glimpse of Flagstaff's underground tunnels. I walked away from this tour feeling much more informed about Flagstaffs history, and honestly, I cannot wait to come back and do another tour with Scott. At the end, he mentioned that he will be hosting a paranormal investigation in the near future, and I cannot wait to attend!! If you haven't already booked a tour with Scott, you're missing out!! Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

When I tried to explain how following their instructions got us lost and we had been circling for the last 20 min, they didn't care. I was spoken over. The coldness and the rudeness was the worst part. It made this mom, who was very excited to do this and took off work early and got her kids excited - to not want to ever come back. I wish they chose kindness, which would seem more on brand for a place focused on promoting mindfulness and being grounded. Lessons for others: - Do not use Google Maps: It will route you to an adjacent rest stop where you can see the entrance but cannot get there. It will cost you 20 minutes to fix this. - Study alternate directions before hand: Reading the wall of text of alternate directions and navigating unmarked forest roads isn't possible while driving. - Know they will deny you entry: The website says they stop taking reservations at 4, but they really mean we will deny you entry. And they will be very strict about it. - Reservations only: This place wasn't friendly to walk-ins. Not worth the stress to find, the $60 to touch nature with feet, and the attitude when literally surrounded by other woods for free. We went on another free hike instead and got the same benefit.

Our guide David met us early at Under Canvas in a comfortable van that was stocked with a fantastic variety of cold drinks, fresh fruit, and snacks that started the trip off right. It was exceptionally hot the day we scheduled our tour and we were concerned that we would have a difficult time with the heat. Our tour included our nine year old son and we were also worried he would be bored. David really made the trip enjoyable despite the heat. We were able to really get a sense of the majesty of the Grand Canyon through its wondrous beauty, its history, the danger it can present to the unprepared, as well as his relationship to the park. Highlights are many but included: * David made sure our first view of the park was breathtaking * We avoided the crowds (big win!) * Lunch was on a tablecloth, was delicious and included all the accoutrement * Sunset wine toast with charcuterie and cheese * Mindfulness moment to pause and reflect on the grandeur of the Grand Canyon The biggest highlight though was that our nine year thought David was the coolest guy which meant he was totally into the experience. We are looking forward to having All Star handle our next tour.

Like story telling and pictures with santa..... parking is free all around the venue. People are start coming around 3 pm for 5.30 train. It is so nice to see all of those people/kids in Christmas pajamas and Christmas spirit. While families wearing pajama masks even grandparents. Everything is so organized and working as expected. Our hosts in Vagon K were amazing, they entertained us so good. Kids loved the show in train, and they Cookies were delicious and big and were still warm. They also serve hot cocoa. And Santa was super nice and polite.

The ride there was great, semi private and had drinkenu with all these specialty cocktails non alcoholic for the kids. They absolutely loved that. The snacks they advertised were not real snacks I was expecting, it was donut holes, tiny muffins and that was about it. The ride home was also first class but a different car and not anything like our trip there. We were packed with lots of other people, it was pretty dirty and uncomfortable. The person in charge of our car was so much better than on the way but the car was not. No specialty drinks or menu for the kids. They were so disappointed. The snacks were a spread of meats, cheeses, veggies and some bread pretzel bites. So, that was better. The train robbery was kinda silly, aoney grab. They take your photos on the ride there but they lost ours and the price starts at $40 to receive them! For the price, especially upgrading, you think they would give you at least one for free. Anyway, it was a fun experience one time but that's it....a one and done. The hotel was clean and breakfast is included. If we had to pay the receipt said $79 for a family of 4. Very much not worth the price. The fruit looked like it had been frozen and then put out, even the grapes looked old and nasty. Nothing great and you have to wait for a server to order the drinks (coffee, juice, etc). They don't have milk for kids and they expect a tip for literally servicing you juice. Again, a bit silly for a buffet and paying a ton of money. Again, a one and done for us.
