  • Unbelievable day in Grand Canyon!

    Kevin helped our family have an unforgettable day in the canyon. It was cold and windy but with his calm and confidence he expertly led us all the way to Skeleton point and then made us the best lunch ever. I cannot recommend this trip enough. Truly the highlight of our vacation. First rate from start to finish and we felt so lucky to have Kevin as our fearless leader. He kept the five of us on track, safe and upbeat. Just go!

    One of the best hiking experiences of our lives! Our guide and company owner, John, provided every thing we needed- poles, packs, snacks , water, and a delicious trailside dinner. John was extremely experienced and knowledgeable about the trails, and provided guidance on how to best utilize poles and navigate the terrain. Hikes are tailored to the group’s ability and skill level. He even showed us the best photo opportunities and took some amazing photos of our group. We even experienced an unexpected citing of a Big Horn sheep, who seemed to pose for photos. Would highly recommend Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes. We will absolutely use them again on our next trip down the canyon. Worth every penny!!

  • The best way to experience Grand Canyon

    Kevin was a fantastic guide. My husband, 17 year old son, and I all agree our day couldn’t have been better. Kevin paced our hike perfectly, and kept us going at a pace which somehow worked for all of us. We learned so much, had fun, and the food!!! We all were well fed with snacks and lunch — even the gluten free and dairy free folks. I hiked Grand Canyon years ago and still to this day remember being terrified. Not today! I felt safe every step of the way. If you are reading this review and remotely thinking of hiking with them, DO IT! You will be so grateful you did.

    Kevin was a fantastic guide--not only did he take us 2.1 miles below the rim and back, but he was also our expert photographer and chef. Our daughter had a fear of heights and he calmed her nerves along the way--she came out like a pro. We had a fantastic family adventure that we will remember forever. Last, it's awesome that they supply everything--we just needed to show up! Make sure you have a trail runner athletic shoe or light weight hiking shoe. This tour is worth it especially if you only have a short time.

  • Highly recommend sunset hike with Christy

    Dawn G,Mar 26, 2026

    Our hike into the Grand Canyon with Christy was just spectacular!!!! We learned things about the canyon we never would have if we hiked alone. She was continuously checking in with us to make sure we were not over exerting ourselves. She knew exactly where to catch the most amazing photographs especially of the gorgeous sunset. We highly recommend Christy to accompany you if you’ve never hiked the canyon. You will NOT be disappointed!!!

    I've always wanted to visit the Grand Canyon and finally decided I'm not getting any younger. The time is now. We thankfully decided to go with a guide and Kevin was a perfect leader. His knowledge of the trail, wildlife, and history of the canyon was superb. He entertained my kids, shared hiking stories with my husband but most importantly, encouraged me to stay the course. I'm afraid of heights and endurance is not my strength. Kevin was patient, professional, and most important, enjoyable. Thankful for an incredible day.

    I was traveling with my husband and two teenage boys. Of course the boys were much faster than me and took off. Jon, our guide stayed with me and helped to make sure I made it back up from the hike. The views were beautiful. Jon was very knowledgeable and tailored the hike to the needs of our whole family. We had a great experience

    Found the brochure in the Hotel lobby late upon arrival. Called the next morning and hiked into the Grand Canyon that afternoon. Our guide Kevin was entertaining, knowledgeable, took great photos and genuinely enjoyed his job. He packed us snacks, drinks and dinner. As advertised it was only me, my wife and Kevin. We met with John, the Tours owner along the way for a fabulous picture session, our friends are in awe. We walked away happy and well-educated regarding life at the Grand Canyon. Should we return, we will do it again, only push for an all-day event. Great trip, great memories, great people!
