Awesome Grand Canyon Tour! - My husband and I had an amazing time hiking the Grand Canyon with our guide Kristy. I am not particularly fond of heights and Kristy helped to ease my nerves and made the entire experience very enjoyable!

BEST HIKE EVER!!! - We spent the day with Jon and his team. They had everything we needed in our backpacks, and the hike would have been very difficult without their hiking sticks. HIGHLY recommend Jon, his organization and going BELOW THE RIM for the Grand Canyon!

Best time ever! - A friend and I, both over 50, were visiting the Grand Canyon for the first time and wanted to make the most of our trip. Fortunately, I found the Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes company and reserved a private hike with Jon. We affectionately nicknamed him our 'Sherpa,' because he did everything from carrying supplies to teaching us how to use hiking poles to preparing us a delicious, filling and healthy meal on the side of the O'Neill Butte. He ever took some amazing panoramic photos of us in the canyon!
I would highly recommend booking a trip with Jon to really experience the GC in all its glory!

Amazing Adventure!! - Jon, our tour guide, is the BEST!! He has 26 year’s experience in guiding people down into the Grand Canyon for a hike of their lifetime. He’s a great listener who takes care of any needs that arise during the hike. He’s a great photographer that knows where the best spots to take pictures in the Grand Canyon are. He is very knowledgeable about hiking, gear, health and fitness. Jon’s healthy chicken wrap that he makes for lunch is the BOOM! This hike was the vacation highlight for my son, sister and I. We will remember and cherish this experience for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend it!!

Highly Recommend - We had the best experience on our hike with Jon. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and prepared for anything. He catered to our ability level and made sure we had an excellent day of hiking in the canyon. Jon made a fantastic lunch at our resting point (better than anything we had in the Grand Canyon Village!) and packed lots of snacks, Gatorade, and water for us. All things considered, this hike was worth every dollar and I would recommend to anyone visiting for the first time (or 50th time). I cannot speak highly enough about Jon or his company, it was an experience my dad and I will remember forever.
