Best Tour Ever!! Must Do!! - Best decision we made was to book this tour!! And Matt made it even more incredible! We got snow overnight, and Matt had spikes for our shoes to make sure we could do our hike. We saw many people slipping and sliding. Not us! Matt was a wealth of knowledge. He told us about how the canyon was formed and then showed us, as we made our way down, how we were going backwards in time. He pointed out fossils and edible plants and facts about how the native people survived in this area. He was also very considerate of everyone in our group, making sure to take breaks when needed. Without this tour, we would have been lost and not made it below the rim. And now we’re part of the 5%!! Matt even prepared the most delicious lunch for us, managing to satisfy a strict vegan, a couple of part-time vegans, and a non-vegan!! It was the most enjoyable day of our already amazing trip, and we are so thankful for Matt!! If you are on the fence, just book this tour!! You’ll be so happy you did!

A Grand Canyon must - Our tour guide Drew was, simply put, incredible. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and encourages you to push yourself while being gentle if you aren't ready to go to the edge. He provided a great lunch and was very accommodating for bathroom breaks whenever needed. Wildlife is always unpredictable, but we got to see a harem of massive elk that we got very close to without being in any danger. This is an essential service the first time through the canyon. I only wish we did this the first day. We loved it.

Amazing guide - We had an Amazing day with Matt as our guide. He was so knowledgeable , patient and easy going. He answered all of our questions and gave us a history of the canyon. It was really the perfect way to spend the day ! I would highly recommend as you get much more out of the hiking and observing when someone gives you interesting information along the way .

Memory Made - Matt picked us up on time prepared for the day. All we had to do was show up. This tour company shows a high level of professionalism. From the vehicle we rode in to the Guide and his knowledge. Matt made sure he understood our expectations at every stage of our day. He went beyond just carting us around pointing out the sites. The stop for his catered lunch was over the top! From the location, the tablecloth and setting and the variety of food. 5 star Matt! Thank you for making a memory for us.

A Must Book Trip!! - This tour was a highlight of our family trip to the southwest US. Matt shared his vast knowledge of the canyon - history, rock formations, plants, animals - in an easy to understand manner. He graciously answered all of our questions, let us set the pace of the hike, and made a delicious lunch about half way thru. We saw so much of the canyon from different angles and loved the hike into (and out of) the canyon. Matt also took lots of family photos - so fun to have pictures with all of us and the canyon as our backdrop. We are a family of six - the children are ages 15-21.
