We had a wonderful day visiting the Grand Canyon. Our tour guide Matt was both professional and knowledgeable and an all around nice guy. He picked us up from our hotel in Sedona. It was a very comfortable ride to the Canyon. The 2 mile hike was really great. We learned about the different plants and saw some sea life preserved within the rocks themselves. Even saw a ram and an elk! The whole day was great all around. I learned so much. Definitely a highlight of my trip!

Shout out to Camilla our tour guide who did a great job. She was personable, knowledgeable, and fun! We wanted to get in some hiking and did that while seeing some of the best views. We never felt like she was rushing us but was a seasoned guide. She treated my scrape when I slipped (my fault) and was prepared with wipes and water.
