Unforgettable. Stunning landscapes. Great guide, with deep knowledge of the region. - Don't go on your own. Hire a guide who knows the area. The walk requires good physical preparation, but it is well worth it.

You Gotta Experience Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes with JON & TEAM - It was an unforgettable experience having Jon, the experienced guide with us all the way from Oh Ah Point, Windy Tip to Cedar Ridge.

Private hiking tour of a LIFETIME! - My husband and I travelled to Las Vegas for Formula 1, and decided to do the drive to the Canyon for the last day of our mini-vacation. We had less than 24 hours to spend in the Grand Canyon Village, and in order to maximize the experience, booked the private guided tour with Jon. Maximum experience is exactly what we received! The hike experience, trail selection, and timing were all carefully tailored to match our expectations, weather, fitness level, etc. Starting the hike in the afternoon, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and while there were smaller crowds in the first few lookouts including the famous Ooh Aah Point, Jon knew we were ready to put in the work to get the extra special views inside the Canyon. We ended in Skeleton Point, with not another soul on the trail, watching the sunset, and eating a delicious home-cooked meal. The 4.5h hike was bookended by an awesome after-dark hike back to the beginning of the trail, with headlamps and a sky full of stars. Everything from personal Camelbaks full of nutritious snacks, water, electrolytes, hats, sunscreen, hiking poles, and everything else you might need, was provided, and above all, absolutely elite vibes. Jon is knowledgeable and laid back, talking you through hiking etiquette and optimal hiking form, sprinkled in with genuine humour. It was hands down the most special private hiking tour experience we've had - the Grand Canyon is beyond breathtaking and after hiking into the Canyon, we would recommend everyone that is able to, to take advantage of this experience with Jon and his team.

Unparalleled - If you are taking the time to read this, stop and book the trip. Jon is everything you are looking for and so much more. He takes care of everything for you, he knows all of the spots for the most amazing pictures, he adjusts every trip to you and whoever you bring with you. That level of individualism to a tour is something you don't realize you are missing until you experience it, it's a hike into the Grand Canyon that is centered around you, the pictures, pace, food, distance, you name it, it is about you.

Bucket List Experience - The sunset hike was truly a bucket list experience for my sisters (ages 54 and 50), mother (76), and me (53)! I agree with all 5 star reviews with how amazing it was but do want to note that it is a long day and there are steep drops. However, our guide Jon ensured we were comfortable, hydrated, and safe throughout the day. He also looked out for other hikers who were not part of our group by providing water, food, or guidance. Seeing some folks struggling back up the canyon reinforced our decision to use an experienced guide. I want to do it again with my kids!

Look No Further For the Perfect Grand Canyon Experience - Don’t hesitate to book this incredible experience!!! The value cannot be beat. Kevin took such good care of us and our two kids (ages 10 & 12). Everything was provided (shuttle service to the rim, water, snacks, dinner, hiking poles, even backpacks). They also accommodated all of our food, allergies. We loved hearing all of the cool facts about the Grand Canyon and stopping for amazing photo opportunities. It was an unforgettable day.

Unforgettable adventure! - We had an unforgettable adventure trekking into the canyon on the sunset tour. Our guide Kevin was spectacular! He was well prepared, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to hike with. He let us set the pace (private tours rock!) and ensured we left the canyon smiling. Gear was top notch and clean. Snacks and dinner were PERFECT for the hike. Hat-tip for the frozen Gatorade. Highly recommended.
