An Unforgettable Experience - We had the most amazing day. Kevin was an incredible guide. Two of us had a fear of heights. He made sure we were both very comfortable and stayed by our side the entire time. Kevin even made us lunch on the trail! I can't thank Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes enough for arranging this hiking tour for us and thanks to Kevin for giving the four of us a most awesome and unforgettable experience.

Best hike and guides- - Entire experience was absolutely incredible. If we could rate higher than 5 stars, we would. Jon and his staff and guides provided the highest level of care and commitment to ensuring a great environment with spectacular views and hiking for different levels of hiking experience.

Five-star hiking experience - We had an amazing day hiking the Grand Canyon with Kevin. It was the perfect combination of pampering and stress-free hiking. The equipment was all set up for us, and there was plenty of water and snacks provided. Kevin even made us a delicious wrap, and we enjoyed a picnic in the shade. He shared valuable hiking tips to ensure our safety while we took in the stunning views. My three teenage boys had many questions, and Kevin was extremely engaging. This experience was the highlight of our Southwest road trip. The owner of the company reached out to me a couple of times to confirm details and offered tips for our trip. It was clear that these folks are passionate about what they do and want to share the beauty of the Grand Canyon in a personal and special way.

Hike to Cedar Ridge - We had a fantastic experience! We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Kevin. The pace was great for our group and Kevin was fantastic with my grandson who was a little nervous and talked nonstop. Dinner at Cedar Ridge was our favorite but we loved it all. We highly recommend!! Thanks Kevin for the best day!!

Highly, highly recommend!

Trip description promises... - Trip description promises a lot, and then delivers more. John took us on a hike of a lifetime, and entertained us the whole time. This is a rigorously fun experience. High expectations will be met, and in our experience, expounded upon. Grand Canyon is on the top of the list of places to experience in the world, and this is a highly recommended way to do it.

Best Day Ever - Jon was an amazing guide and had everything taken care of from start to finish! When I say everything, I mean everything. We had plenty of snacks, water and electrolytes for our big day ahead. He asked if we were up for an adventure and we were! He fitted us for packs and hiking poles and we wasted no time getting started. We hiked all the way to Skeleton Point, where you can actually see the river at the bottom of the canyon. It was beautiful! We ate a delicious lunch that Jon provided and just took in the beauty around us. We were all tired (yet exhilarated) at the end of the hike, but my family all agreed it was one of the most unforgettable experiences we’ve ever had.

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!
