Absolutely fantastic tour with Matt. His patience, knowledge, enthusiasm was exceptional. He took us to see vista points that we never would have seen and was so encouraging when this 65 year old body hiked back up the South Kaibab trail. We lunch on a rock with the most fantastic views!! It was like taking a tour with a friend. We wholeheartedly recommend!

I spent a great day in Grand Canyon with my boyfriend Marco thanks to our amazing guide Matt! Matt organised everything extremely well, taking care also of the smallest details: snacks, water refill, and a special mention to the pic-nic prepared by himself with sandwiches, fresh vegetables and fruits, simply amazing! During the day, we did a portion of the South Kaibab trail, that allowed us to see the Canyon really close, plus few viewpoints where we could really appreciate this amazing Canyon. Finally, Matt is geologist so he can explain to you all the details about the origin of the Grand Canyon and its rocks. I really recommend this amazing experience to others!

We are so glad you had such an amazing day. Matt, like all of our guides, is a true professional. Our guides are educators, scientists and master naturalists. And they love to share their knowledge of the parks with our clients. We hope to see you in another park soon on another Good Trip!
