Just a quick note to tell you that our family had a lifetime memorable hike in the Grand Canyon last friday with Jason. He was fantastic and we would book with you again and will recommend you also. Thank you so much for all your help. We were very pleased and inspired!!

We had unbelievably great time... truly epic ! Everyone can't stop talking about what a wonderful and memorable experience we had individual and collectively. You and your team made it happen and we are grateful. Thanks to you, Jason for making this the most wonderful adventure we've had (so far)!

We had a fantastic day on the tour to the Grand Canyon with Joel. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We definitely feel we had the best tour and day possible. The van was very comfortable and the lunch was great. (We noticed people on other tours looking enviously at our spread with the attractively set out food, table cloth, plates, etc.) THANKS for giving us a memorable experience.
