I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon. My husband and I hiked the South Kaibab trail with you while on honeymoon last week after getting married in Vegas. The man-made attractions of Vegas will never compare to the awe and wonder of the Grand Canyon. You gave us a very intimate glimpse into that world and were able to educate us along the way as well. Everything from our reservation, transportation, lunch and even souvenir shopping was seamless and professional. I've attached a few pictures of our hike and the California condor we were lucky enough to see. Take care, good luck in the future and I will definitely recommend you to anyone who is making a trip to the northern Arizona area.
Sincerely,
Nikki & Chuck Duncan, Arkansas, USA

My husband & I recently visited Arizona for the first time. One of the highlights of the adventure was a trip to the Grand Canyon with the help of a guide by the name of Wes Neal who works for a company called “Around the Bend Adventures”. Wes has had experience guiding both in the Canyon & on the Colorado River.
What was impressive was the knowledge Wes had about Canyon & its history, assisted perhaps by the fact he grew up in Falstaff. This helped us to understand & appreciate what we were seeing. Provisions for the trip were included as well as crampons which added an element of safety since snow was on the ground at the time of our visit. Our hiking ability was accurately estimated allowing my husband & me to feel somewhat challenged without being exhausted by the adventure.
The hike ended with a visit to the I Max Theater to see a film presentation which summarized the history of the Grand Canyon.
I recommend this company & would definitely return for another adventure either a hike in the Canyon or perhaps a river trip. I recently recommended a Grand Canyon adventure with this company to a relative.

Again, thank you for 2 great days of tours. Of course, Grand Canyon was wonderful, but we really enjoyed the day in Flagstaff too.

We saw nature at it's best with a guide who really knew his stuff.
Well organised and meticulously planned trip with our personal preferences taken into account. I highly recommend going "around the bend"...!
