Once in a lifetime experience! - Jon guided our family of 4 hiking the South Kaibab trail - 2.5 miles below the rim, from Ooh Aah Point to Cedar Ridge to O'Neill Butte. Jon was AMAZING! With 27 years of experience, he was incredibly knowledgeable about the geology, fauna & flora of the Grand Canyon. Jon was extremely patient and reassuring with our family, since we are inexperienced hikers, but pushed us out of our comfort zone to take breathtaking pictures! The tour includes hiking poles, water, snacks and a delicious lunch. Our teenagers loved it. This was a once in a lifetime experience that our family will treasure forever!

Memorable! - We had a great time on our hike with Christy! We appreciated the door to door service with pick up at and drop off at our Airbnb in Flagstaff, and thoroughly enjoyed our well paced, beautiful scenic day of hiking on the Kaibab. The well stocked snack bag and fresh canyon wrap lunch were a plus! We have great photos and great family memories of our Grand Canyon adventure.

Great experience! - After booking Jon called to review the trip and answer any questions. We were picked up at our hotel by Kevin. He equipt us with snack bags, water, frozen Gatorade, back packs and walking poles. Kevin was a pleasure to hang with for the day. His knowledge of the canyon and antidotes enhanced our hike. He spent time answering all our questions. He checked in frequently and was cautious with our level of comfort and enjoyment. We pushed a little and found an amazing spot for lunch. He made us individual lunches which were delicious and helped give us energy for the hike back up. When we started our hike back he suggested several breaks and kept our group at a nice slow pace. He was positive throughout (yes you canyon!). If you are thinking of booking -DO IT! They were easy to work with super accommodating and will make the experience amazing!

It is 100% completely worth it to book this Grand Canyon tour! - Kevin was incredible! I wish I wouldn't have spent so much time myself trying to figure out how to plan an amazing day trip to the Grand Canyon for my family of 4, and wondering if it was worth it to go for this guided experience - it was TOTALLY WORTH IT! Avoid the crowds, and lines waiting for busses, and get a fun and friendly tour catered exactly to the needs of your group. Every little detail was accounted for. This group is SO professional and thinks of EVERYTHING to make your day to the GC relaxing and enjoyable! You feel like a VIP the whole day! My 11-year-old and 13-year-old boys were besties with Kevin by the end of the day. My husband and I, who are in decent physical shape but have a couple of issues here and there, felt completely catered to and safe for the amazing hike! My family wholeheartedly loved this experience, and we keep talking about it and retelling jokes and stories from the day! Kevin helped us create a perfect memory for our family-day at the Grand Canyon! We highly recommend Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes!
