Amazing tour, amazing guide! - Out of this world experience! Our tour guide Louis was the best tour guide we have ever had! He knew everything about the Grand Canyon and he made the tour so fun and interesting. The tour didn’t feel rushed- we went at our own pace. Lunch was also terrific with the most amazing view! Would highly recommend this tour! We would love to book another tour with Louis in future!

Adventure, views, and time well spent! - Looking for adventure and a getaway? Look no further! Our family (4 total - including a 13 year old, and a 9 year old) brought nothing but ourselves & some water. The rest was all provided by The Desert Hiking Company (packs, snacks, trekking poles). I’d highly recommend bringing a reusable water jug or hydration bladder. Our guide, Louis, is top notch. Knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly insightful. The trek itself was nothing but stunning. The views, the walk, the conversation & learning, and the delicious food brought to you by your guide are absolutely incredible! The trek back up the canyon can provide a challenge - yet with the thoughtful and perfectly timed pauses along the way back up you feel motivated to conquer it all. The only warning to heed to those coming for the first time: YOU WILL GET ADDICTED. Already in the process of planning the next trip at the time of this writing.

Spectacular Experience! - Could not be happier that we chose Desert Hiking Company to experience the Grand Canyon. My sister and I planned the trip for our mother’s 70th birthday. Louie was so accommodating, patient, and knowledgeable. He modified the pace as needed for her but didn’t make her feel like she was holding everyone up. His love for guiding and educating others on his passion is evident. The experience was smooth and well thought out. He even had warm chili and tea for us to enjoy while we rested at a scenic viewpoint! I highly recommend using Desert Hiking Company. I look forward to using them again in the future!

One last hike ... - I went into this hike mourning the loss of my own physical health and limitations due to a progressive condition, a mother in hospice care and being completely drained and exhausted from work. Our Guide showed up and told us to slow down, it's not about getting from point A to point B, and to make it a spiritual experience. If there was a person that I truly needed in that moment in time, it was our Guide, Chase. We learned so much about the Grand Canyon, more than I could have ever imagined. If you are not using a Guide, you are missing out on so much!! The history, the education, and fun facts. At no point in time did I feel rushed. I got down the path safely and back up again. I got to enjoy peaceful moments and eat lunch in one of the most beautiful spots in the world. I'm glad that I have this memory. It was perfect. If I have the opportunity, I would contact this company to assist in completing R2R. Fingers crossed. Only downside, Chase forgot the hot sauce for lunch.

Best tour company at the Grand Canyon - Louis was a fabulous tour guide. His knowledge of the canyon was incredible and he was so prepared. What was most enjoyable was the way he interacted with my kids. He spoke to them at eye level and taught them so much. He made it fun and really centered it around them. When the kids have fun then the parents are able to enjoy themselves. 100% recommend desert hiking. Anyone that travels to the Grand Canyon, I always give them their information. I truly believe our experience was far more enjoyable than if we had done it alone because of them. Thank you desert hiking!
