The Grand Canyon was quite simply, GRAND! - The Grand Canyon is spectacular. Our guide, Jessie, made it special. She was the right mix of professional and fun. Her local knowledge was spot on. Her understanding and articulation of the history of the Grand Canyon and the geological wonder was amazing. Her ability to describe both flora and fauna was much appreciated.

Great day visiting the Grand Canyon! - We had a wonderful day visiting the Grand Canyon. Our tour guide Matt was both professional and knowledgeable and an all around nice guy. He picked us up from our hotel in Sedona. It was a very comfortable ride to the Canyon. The 2 mile hike was really great. We learned about the different plants and saw some sea life preserved within the rocks themselves. Even saw a ram and an elk! The whole day was great all around. I learned so much. Definitely a highlight of my trip!

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.
