Camilla is a go-to guide - Shout out to Camilla our tour guide who did a great job. She was personable, knowledgeable, and fun! We wanted to get in some hiking and did that while seeing some of the best views. We never felt like she was rushing us but was a seasoned guide. She treated my scrape when I slipped (my fault) and was prepared with wipes and water.

Francesca was the best tour guide - We were a party of two that had never been to the Grand Canyon and wanted to experience as much as we could in a single day. We booked this small group tour and it turned out we had a private tour for 2 of the park with the BEST tour guide, Francesca. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the park, the history of the canyon, and the Native people, Navajo, that call the area home. Francesca took us to areas past where the shuttle busses go and gave us the experience of a lifetime hiking (partially) into the canyon. I recommend anyone interested in experiencing the Grand Canyon to book a trip with Francesca. You’ll be glad that you did!

What a grand tour of the Grand Canyon! - Today’s tour of the Grabd Canyon was fantastic!! Francesca was such a fabulous guide!! She knows the area so well as she has guided here for a while. She catered the tour to what we wanted and she was so good with our son who is 12 years old. She had a great lunch and snacks for all of us and we could not have had a better day! She was so personable, as I said great knowledge of the park and its history and she was so down to earth. Could not recommend a better guide!!

Grand Canyon in a day - Our guide Alex, was wonderful! She educated us about the development of the Grand Canyon and all its formations. Alex was knowledgeable and easy to be with. She kept us safe with suggestions regarding distance, the sunrise timing on the trail, and hydration. Alex kept an eye on us for signs of dehydration and high altitude sickness. She was encouraging on the way up when things got a lot more difficult because of incline and altitude change. Alex kept things flexible and offered suggestions for good viewing after our hike. She also provided a lunch with a table cloth and food purchased at the store! We loved our time with Alex and our day at the Grand Canyon!

Best decision we madd - Drew was incredible!! We wanted to experience the Grand Canyon more holistically than just driving up to a look out, and this guided tour was exactly what we wanted! Drew tailored the day to what my mom and I were looking for. We were picked up directly from our hotel, started the day by learning about the geography and history of the area, took a 2 hour hike before the day got too hot (with Drew looking after our safety, lending us walking sticks, filling our water, and having great conversation) then ate a small lunch provided by Drew. We finished the day by driving to three different secluded scenic spots. Drew answered all our questions, and was very educational. Great value and definitely worth getting a guide for this trip.

Excellent Adventure - We had a fantastic day with our guide Matt, who was a geologist and excellent person to spend the day with. Matt is a geologist, so he’s knowledgeable about how the canyon formed as well as the area’s plants, animals, and architecture. Best of all he is very upbeat, friendly, and has a passion for the outdoors.

Trip of a lifetime - Absolutely fantastic tour with Matt. His patience, knowledge, enthusiasm was exceptional. He took us to see vista points that we never would have seen and was so encouraging when this 65 year old body hiked back up the South Kaibab trail. We lunch on a rock with the most fantastic views!! It was like taking a tour with a friend. We wholeheartedly recommend!

Amazing day in Grand Canyon! - I spent a great day in Grand Canyon with my boyfriend Marco thanks to our amazing guide Matt! Matt organised everything extremely well, taking care also of the smallest details: snacks, water refill, and a special mention to the pic-nic prepared by himself with sandwiches, fresh vegetables and fruits, simply amazing! During the day, we did a portion of the South Kaibab trail, that allowed us to see the Canyon really close, plus few viewpoints where we could really appreciate this amazing Canyon. Finally, Matt is geologist so he can explain to you all the details about the origin of the Grand Canyon and its rocks. I really recommend this amazing experience to others!
