I loved the trip. The itinerary was perfect- we were busy, were active everyday and didn't spend a lot of time in the car. Most of the activity was easy so I'd rate this trip a Level 2. Also, I'd suggest that the Cedar Ridge hike be a full hike for those who choose and a half hike for those who are not in the best shape. The food was amazing- the catered lunches were not heavy and very fresh. The meal at the Hassayampa was very good but the portions were riduculously large. Joel and Matt were very personable, knowledgeable and accomodating. They are great guides. The size of the group - 11 travelers- was perfect. I was very fortunate to be a solo traveler with 10 of the funniest, nicest and active adults. Our group bonded immediately and Joel and Matt enhanced that experience with their charm and personality.

Our second Austin Adventures trip was just as spectacular as our first (Yellowstone and Paradise Valley). What made it great were the two wonderful guides that we had (and the fantastic group of fellow travelers). The trip wasn't without some unexpected challenges, like the trailer breaking down and one of our group having some temporary medical trouble, but Mathew and Joel handled them with virtually no impact to our good time.
This is no "laid back relaxing trip". You are going from early morning until night seeing and experiencing incredible sites and activities, while learning about the history and culture of the areas. Just the way I like it.

The overall experience was far beyond what I expected. It was a seamless operation affording us the opportunity to enjoy the presence of two wonderful Austin Guides who enhanced every observation and exploration of the Grand Canyon, etc.

We had an amazing adventure from the moment we were picked up to the moment that we were dropped off. I attribute much of that to our outstanding guides, Tom and Natalie.

Really loved hiking down into the Grand Canyon a little way. Impressive for its massive scale! Also liked the tour of the early Native American sites - though one or the other would have been enough.

Wow! The small group experience was great and the food and lodging exceeded my expectations. I will be doing this again! It was a great adventure and the small group size felt right.
