We went on the Beginner Below the Rim tour with our 18, 16 and 14 year old. It was an excellent experience from beginning to end with our tour guide Molly. It was a hot July day and she came prepared with plenty of snacks ,drinks and motivation to keep us going on the trail. After the hike, we had a lovely lunch overlooking the canyon, followed by more amazing views and fun photos. She is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the Canyon and did a great job of sharing information with the kids and answering all of their questions. . I would highly recommend this company and specifically Molly if you are planning a trip to the Grand Canyon.

Ask for Molly—from the moment she picked us up, she was friendly, lively and willing to make the beginning hiking tour what we wanted to be. We only had one day in the Grand Canyon and this was the perfect way to spend it. She showed us the highlights, drove us to beautiful spots, led us on a hike and kept us busy with facts and knowledge about the park. Molly obviously loves the area—her enthusiasm showed. She even tailored what she shared based on our interests and found us wild horses! Plus plenty of snacks, drinks and yummy lunch. Would definitely do again—in fact, considering returning to do a river tour with molly as our guide.
