Molly was phenomenal. We got this tour the first day we got to the Canyon. Our plan was to hike to Phantom Ranch next day. She provided an extensive overview of the Canyon, well prepared with telescope, food, picture ideas and a nice comfy van. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Molly. We did wonderful with our next day hike down/up the Canyon.

Our guide was Jason, absolutely amazing. We were picked up at 9:30 in Sedona. It was about two hours to the Grand Canyon, but Jason provided interesting commentary throughout the drive. Did a fantastic job of personalizing stories, analogies, and details based on what our group was interested in. We saw notable sights in Flagstaff and then went on to the Grand Canyon National Park. Along the way, Jason did a great job of pointing out peaks and forests, reciting the history of areas we asked about. When we arrived at the Grand Canyon, Jason knew all of the best viewpoints and told entertaining anecdotes about hiking and backpacking trips he has done in and around the canyon. Jason did a fantastic job packing snacks, setting up lunch and dinner, and making sure we felt comfortable at all times. He led us down a little hike into the canyon for spectacular canyon views. Overall, I was very impressed with Jason’s knowledge of the canyon and patience with our group. 5/5, 10/10, can’t recommend enough. Give this man a raise (looking at you Ben!)

Just got back from an AMAZING day with Cody! Every detail was taken care of! Water, Snacks, Lunch, Walking Poles, Transportation! Every question (and there was a lot of them) was addressed. He made the day fun and informative....we have been on a lot of tours in our travels and he was the best guide we have ever had. There is no way we would have experienced all the Grand Canyon has to offer without this experience and his energy. If you plan on making a trip to the Grand Canyon, book this tour....it is well worth the money. You will see the Canyon in ways that are not possible on your own. You will learn things you never knew you wanted to learn and the experience will be exactly what can work for you and your party. We had our 19 and 17 year old with us and they were engaged, entertained and educated all day. We made it over 2000 feet down into the Canyon and hiked over 4+ miles. Amazing. If you can't tell....I highly recommend this tour. Lunch was great as well.
