Worth every penny!

The day of our tour, there were storms expected. We were a little nervous but John reassured us the weather would hold off and it sure did! Ended up being a nice cool hike that we would not have ever done on our own. He was very professional, knowledgeable and patient with our group. The dinner he made for us was delicious and we didn’t need to bring anything but ourselves! Worth every penny.
Amazing hike!

All we can say is that John gave us an amazing experience in the Grand Canyon. From the first communication when John reached out to learn a little about our physical abilities and what we were looking for to answering my numerous calls regarding the weather, I knew we were in great hands. Felt very comfortable the whole hike and John graciously took photos in amazing spots to savor the memories. If you are looking for an experienced guide (and great cook—excellent fresh wrap sandwiches), John is your man.
The most amazing tour ever

This is absolutely the most exhilarating and amazing thing we have ever done! John is not only the best tour guide ever but also a sort of coach, chef, and motivator! I’m so glad we did this tour and did it last as it was that amazing with the most gorgeous views!
Outstanding service, can't recommend John enough.

John is a fantastic guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and his photography skills are outstanding. His preparation is impeccable and you will enjoy great snacks and an amazing South Kaibab Chicken Burrito, made to order.
Thanks so much John!

The most memorable part was hiking up the south kaibab trail at night with headlamps provided by John, our guide. We could not believe we saw the sun set then finished the hike off under the stars.
Awesome Family Hike With John into Grand Canyon
Brian_L
, Jun 2022
Awesome Trip. John was not just an excellent guide but chauffeur, chef and photographer. He guided us safely to and from our hotel and kept us on pace throughout our hike, knowing what we can do. We were able to see the grandeur of the Grand Canyon through sunset, and able to get so many memorable family photos from John. Highly recommend the afternoon hike with John and personal attention he brings. Cooler weather, less crowds, and dinner at Cedar Ridge Point. A top-notch family experience for first time visitors to the Grand Canyon.
Having a private tour is...

Having a private tour is key. You're 100% safe as you are fully prepared. This makes the experience extremely memorable. Jon our guide knew all and took amazing pics for us!
Amazed at the wonder of the Grand Canyon!

What an amazing time! John really took a lot of time explaining next steps and how the day would go! Did the sunset tour which was amazing to see the canyon at different times!
Hike of a life time

Jon was amazing for the half day tour. Taught us how to gear up and how to use the all important walking poles( believe me the poles make a huge difference). Great start of the day, a nice pace for us, was probably a lot slower because we have not hiked in years. Jon is very skilled in making a wonderful lunch and photography also. Some really great photos of our day. Most definitely one of my greatest days and a check off my bucket list. Very Happy Hiker!
Highlight of my Trip

This tour is not to be missed - definitely one of the best I've done through Viator. Jon was prompt and organized; he had our backpacks ready and filled with snacks and water for the day. Both of us learned the proper technique for using hiking poles - they were essential going down and walking back up again. Lunch was amazing...he made chicken/veggie wraps on the trail! I have so many amazing photos too - this hike was the highlight of my trip.
Best hike ever!

John was an amazing guide. We have done a lot of hiking and this was our first guided trip. He taught us about the canyon and hiking best practices (we learned the correct way to use hiking poles and it was excellent.) We greatly enjoyed his company and the lunch was the best I have every had on a hike, and we do box lunches regularly. He also had the ability to tailor the hike to the experience and capability of our group. Even my 2 teenage sons loved having John as our guide, (the snacks didn't hurt.) Finally, my finacee proposed on this hike and schemed with John to plan it all out. Thanks so much!

I would just like to say...
Monika_S

I would just like to say that I never write reviews, but this I belive needs one. I didnt know what to expect when I booked Grand Canyon hiking tour, John showed up on time, he was very informative, explained every step of the way. Backpacks were full of snacks and water. Once we got down about 2.5 miles into the Canyon he prepared lunch for our group. The views were spectacular, Would highly recommend John
Magical experience

John and Evan were both excellent guides. We were a family of 10, with 6 adults and 4 children, ranging in age from 4 yrs old to 11 yrs old. John and Evan were professional, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the hike. Their knowledge of the history and details of the Grand Canyon made our experience all the more enjoyable. We especially wanted our grandchildren to experience this national treasure, and we got exactly what we wanted. John provided back packs, water, gatorade, snacks, and lunch for everyone, so we could focus on enjoying our hike. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the Grand Canyon.
An unforgettable experience

John took great care of our family. He took us on an incredible hike and kept us informed on what was next the whole way through. He provided perfect snacks, and plenty of water and Gatorade. Lunch was fresh and tasted amazing. Don’t hesitant to book a trip with him. He’s highly experienced and will take great care of you!
Highly recommend John. A perfect day.

We had an awesome time with John. He has a plan but is quickly ready to adapt to any client needs. He thinks of everything. He prepared a terrific lunch, brought us plenty of fluids, and his snack bag is next level. We plan to use him again.

We do not usually hire a guide or sign up for a tour when traveling but we’re so happy we did this time. John was phenomenal, super supportive in the face of a fear of heights, and really knowledgeable. We learned a lot from him and really enjoyed the hike!
Epic Family Hike at the Grand Canyon!

The best part of our experience was that We didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING and because of that we enjoyed EVERYTHING! John was prepared, knowledgeable and truly cared about making this a day our family would never forget. We were are a party of 5 traveling with our 8 year old and 11 year old children as well as our 15 year old niece. We were concerned about safety, about making sure the hike was challenging enough to be a fun experience but something that we could all experience together. John had us covered in every possible way. We had the best gear, the best guidance and hands down the best lunch we could ask for. I can’t recommend hiring John enough. This is the way you want to experience the Grand Canyon! This was a day that we will never forget!
Truly amazing

Great views and guide. John picked a good hike for our skill set. He taught us a lot about hiking and the Grand Canyon. Truly a memorable experience for us. The snack packs and chicken wraps for lunch were top notch!
