This was a fantastic day. We were looking for a private way to enjoy the Grand Canyon. While we were searching Trip Avisor, we had a difficult time. We didn't know that these hiking trips book out of Flagstaff, Sedona, Vegas, etc. Also, what is a sandwich? (We've had a piece of bologna between two slices of bread on a bus out to Mayan ruins in Mexico.) We were afraid! 😆 First of all, as soon as you book, their communication is spot on with texts and emails! They figure out where they need to pick you up from, and what time! Next, they want to know your sandwich preference. You should know that when it came to lunch time, they had all kinds of choices for (non-alcoholic) drinks. Our sandwiches were huge! They served lettuce, tomato, onions, and a bunch of condiments. They had different types of potato chips, cookies, and a huge basket of fresh fruit! They made a great picnic lunch with tablecloth, cloth napkins, and real silverware! Back to the hike! Our guides (Mr. Jason and Mr. Kevin) were incredible. They were prompt to the hotel, and sent us a text when they arrived. Once seated, they asked us questions that helped them decide how much, and where, we were going to hike in the canyon. Once we got there, they had backpacks set up with waters, jerky, snacks, and candy. They provided cleats for over our shoes, and hiking poles. Except for religion and politics, our guides could talk to us about anything! We learned about animals, plants, rocks, indigenous culture, the canyon, and a lot more all while having the most fantastic, private, and customized experience. The description didn't do this trip justice. They really took care of everything. Thank you, Mr. Jason and Mr. Kevin. Great job!

Our tour guide and driver, Ben, was extremely personable and informative. He made the drive seem to fly by. (We were picked up from our hotel in Sedona.) Ben made the visit exciting for the children (and us) by the way he first let us see the GC. He also was very open to any requests that we had; nothing was too much trouble. (Also, the van we traveled in was very clean and comfortable.) The hiking guide, John, was the same. He very informative about the geology and formation of the GC on the hike. They recommended several locations to hike and let us choose based on our preferences. The duration of the hike was also based on the amount of time that we chose. A delicious sandwich lunch from a beautiful and not crowded viewpoint was served with soft drinks, water, and other beverages. The lunch was delicious. Delicious cookies and fresh fruit were included for dessert. A HUGE variety of snacks were available for lunch and during the drive. Ben brought us to a beautiful location to view the sunset. Over all we had a GRAND experience on our All-Star tour and would highly recommend this to families and individuals.

We are a family of 5 had an amazing day and hike with Cody on the hermit trail! Cody was fun and engaging from the moment he picked us up at the hotel, and he is great with kids (mine range in age from 11-14). He made us feel excited about the Grand Canyon and was very knowledgeable and informative about history and geological features. We did a terrific 6 mile hike into the canyon and we had lunch at a beautiful scenic location. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. The entire day and tour/hike was a highlight of the entire trip. I would highly recommend Cody and AllStar Grand Canyon Tours for anyone, especially families, and I hope to be able to get back there and try another hike or backpacking trip soon!
