My husband and I have had 2 hiking excursions with Four Seasons guides and each experience was amazing. The guides are knowledgeable, helpful, down to earth and so much fun!! I highly recommend them. Andrea P. Dallas Texas

I have been on 4 trips with 4 Seasons guides and each trip has been fantastic. The guides really know their stuff, and we have great fun and feel safe and comfortable at the same time.

Phenomenal trip, amazing guides and company. I wouldn’t do any Grand Canyon trip without Four Seaon Guides.

I've done a number of trips with Four Seasons and each one is a peak life experience. Absolutely the best. The guides are knowledgeable, hardworking, and keep you safe. Sign up for a trip. You will not regret it,

FSG was a terrific guiding company for our group of "mature" women who wanted a several-day hiking experience in Zion, Bryce, and Escalante Staircase country. They helped plan the trip, and then revised the itinerary based on the ability of the guides to asses the capacity and desires of the group. We had a fabulous time and were well-taken care of the whole week, with great camp/trail meals and all the assistance we needed. From the pre-trip communication all the way through the parting of ways after the trip, we felt that we were in excellent hands. Highly recommended!

Four Season Guides provides an outstanding experience by tailoring each hike to those in the group. I've taken two trips with Four Season Guides, and plan on using them again in the future.

Another amazing trip with Four Seasons and our outstanding guide Bob. Will definitely go again!

I can't say enough about how good Four Season Guides is, from the office to the trail. My most recent trip was in Canyonlands and I've used this company numerous other times for trips in the Grand Canyon, Grand Gulch, and Yosemite. All were exceptional. Guides: Every guide has been excellent. They are experienced, emergency trained, great conversationalists (but only if you want them to be), wonderful cooks (see below), and know the ins and outs of the areas they guide in. They do not guide where they haven't been. Food: What can I say? These guides hand prepare your meals with fresh ingredients (other hikers passed us once eating lunch coming out of the Canyon on the Bright Angel Trail and remarked: "fresh tomatoes!") and keep your tummy happy and your body fueled. No packaged, freeze-dried meals here (well, maybe oatmeal for breakfast on your last day). Itineraries: Not just the same-old same-old. On my first trip, Coyote Gulch, our guide asked if we'd be interested in a swim. He proceeded to part the underbrush, snake us past rock out-crops, and deliver us to a hidden rock-pond. Not in any trail book I looked at. For my first Canyonlands, turns out our guide hadn't done the trip in awhile so he went in the week before, scouted old and new routes and modified the old itinerary that gave us a much more dramatic (and secure) trip. Equipment: Need all the gear? They will provide it as a part of your trip. And it's up-to-date, if not new. This isn't gear that's just been collected over the years. You can be confident and comfortable. Or you can bring your own and fill in from them items you might need or don't want to fly or otherwise travel with. History: Ruins, potsherds, pictographs, and petroglyphs, cowboy camps, some of which are off the usual routes. Office: Yes, they have standard itineraries. But chat awhile with the owner, Dave, or others in his office and you can come up with something different to fit your (or your group's) particular needs or interests. Diet restrictions? communicate them here and they are taken care of. I've hiked and backpacked with 7 other guide services in the Americas and in Europe so I feel I can offer a good perspective on relative quality. As the title of this review says: this is the best.
