This was a last minute decision that was a highlight of our Sedona vacation. A perfect way to experience the Grand Canyon for the first time. Jonathan picked us up at the hotel, and the drive was enjoyable with good snacks and conversation. He delivered on wonderful vistas, a wonderful lunch and a perfect hike on Hermit Trail. Then a beautiful sunset enjoyed with a cheese board and wine. As the full moon rose over the canyon Jonathan delivered us safely back to the hotel. Truly a wonderful experience.

This was a lovely trip filled with amazing sights, good food and a stunning hike down to Ooh Ahh Point. Our tour guide Kevin was incredibily friendly and fun to talk to with lots of fun facts about the Canyon and surrounding areas. Would reccommend this to anyone who wants to explore the Canyon.

What can I say, but this is truly the way to go see the Grand Canyon if you want to see and learn the most in a day and really enjoy it. Our tour guide, and the company owner, Ben was our driver and guide for the day for my family of 5, 3 teenage girls and my wife and I. Ben was fabulous, he picked us up at our hotel in Flagstaff just before 8 am in a very nice new tour van and off we went, providing us a ton of information all about the area, the botany, the wildlife, the activities you can do and giving us all kinds of ideas of things to go see or do if we had time. His way of introducing the Grand Canyon to you can only be described as Breathtaking! He was so good about giving us time to take in the majesty of our Lord’s creation and then taking some great pictures of our family in front of these views. We then took an amazing hike down the South Kaibab trail, perfect hike for our family, we even went a little farther than planned, as our original stopping point for lunch was very windy at the time, which we were glad to hike some more on such a gorgeous day. We had a great lunch, excellent sandwiches that we had ordered ahead of time with all the fixings we could add, a great pasta salad- Ben’s recipe, chips and homemade chocolate chip cookies! We got to enjoy seeing an entire group of mules traveling up the trail while enjoying our lunch. After the hike Ben took us to several more beautiful stops along the south rim to the east edge, always taking us to spots that were away from the crowds to give us great views and pictures. We truly had a wonderful day with Ben. I would recommend this tour company to anyone, as they will truly tailor the day to what you are after. Thank you Ben and All-Star Tours!
