Bailee and Ian were fantastic tour guides! We had a family of 14 with kids of all ages and it was fantastic. We did Arches, Canyonlands, Side-by-side ATVs, you name it!
Thanks to you and your family for all of these amazing reviews for Bailee and Ian! We're so happy it went off without a hitch. We truly love hearing from all of you about the highlights. We hope to see you again on your next big family trip!
I was able to hike Delicate Arch & double arch as part of what I wanted. Justin Chan our tour guide was very friendly, helpful, kind and knowledgeable. I would recommend him. The trip was however not what I expected. I booked through viator and what was in viator’s itinerary was not all experienced as some of the sites would take a full day to hike, so was not doable with all the other sites in the itinerary. They just need to fix/ update the advertised itinerary. Plus I suggest the tour company to specify/highlight that the tour is a “hiking tour” as I ended up being with a group that did not know that they signed up for a hiking tour, which resulted in limited the sites I wanted to hike and could have visited, plus one of them was actually not able to go to some sites due to physical limitations and I felt bad for that person. Overall should be a nice tour, just did not feel like it was worth the money due to the reasons stated.
We appreciate your honest feedback about your tour. We're glad Justin was friendly and helpful, and that you were able to hike Delicate Arch and Double Arch. Your insights about our itinerary description and tour expectations are valuable. We're reviewing our Viator listing to ensure it more accurately states that the destinations listed are possibilities for the day, and adjust our descriptions to set clearer expectations for all participants. Thank you for helping us improve our experience for future guests! We're glad you still had a nice day in the park.
Victoria our guide for the day was amazing and made our full day at Arches Nationa Park memorable. The views were breathtaking and her knowledge of the local history and geology added to the experience!
We're happy to hear you had a great time experiencing Arches with Victoria and that you got to see all that this park has to offer! Thanks for an awesome review and for sharing the park with us.
We had a wonderful tour at Arches National Park. Our tour guide, Justin Chan, was the best!! He was very knowledgeable about the park and super friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and will definitely use Good Trip Adventures again in the future.
Thanks for the stellar review! Sounds like Justin rocked your Arches adventure, turning those sandstone wonders into a playground of knowledge and fun. Glad we could make your day in the park arch-tastic! Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Our family of 5 had a fabulous day of hiking, plus delicious picnic lunch, with Ashleigh of Good Trips. She was so knowledgeable about flora and fauna, geology, and our hiking routes- even as specific as how to navigate a path with rocks/boulders and varied terrain. This was much appreciated and we covered a lot of ground. She made all info interesting to our whole group- including 3 daughters in their late teens/early 20s. The van was clean and full of snacks and so easy to take in the beauty around us. We also so enjoyed fresh lunch and drinks on a picnic table after the hike, complete with tablecloth! We ended the day with more sightseeing and finding petroglyphs closer to town.
Thanks for the rave review! Ashleigh’s like a hiking superhero – navigating boulders, dropping flora and fauna facts, and making geology cool for the whole fam! We’re thrilled the teens were entertained and that the snack-filled van and gourmet picnic made your day. Petroglyphs and picturesque trails – sounds like a perfect adventure. Can’t wait to have you back for another epic trek! 🌿🚐🍽️✨
Views and stunning arches and landscapes are fantastic and beyond words Would highly recommend. Our guide Ashley was great
So glad you enjoyed your day! Hope to see you again very soon!

WOW indeed! Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that Bailee rocked your adventure and made it an unforgettable day for your family. She'll be over the moon to know she hit the mark. We appreciate your high recommendation and look forward to seeing you on another Good Trip soon! 🌟
Alex and Kimberly showed us all around Arches, Canyonlands, and the Needles! Gorgeous scenery, wonderful hikes, and fantastic canyoneering! I had an amazing time! Loved that we were pampered from morning til night with excellent meals and snacks to keep us going on our week long adventure. Would definitely tour around with Good trip adventures again :)
We are so glad you had an amazing adventure! Our guides work hard to make it appear effortless. Thanks for joining us and we hope to see you again soon!
John made everything so fun! He made explaining the geological history easy to follow for the kids, and was able to take stunning photos of our family and the arches. A naturally friendly individual, John made this trip extremely enjoyable. We loved the tacos he made for lunch and hope to see him again in future trips.
We are so glad you had such a Good Trip! John does such a great job. Glad you enjoyed lunch! Looking forward to seeing you on another trip, soon.
What a great experience this was. can’t say enough great things about Good Trip Adventures and Jarrod specifically. If you’re in need of a tour guide I wouldn’t choose any other company. And if you’re fortunate enough to get Jarrod you will never be disappointed. Very well organized. Very good at adapting the tour to his clients/guests/participants. Such a good read on people and the situation. And makes the tour enjoyable for all. From a guy who never takes the time to leave a review I felt it was necessary to tell all. Felt that strongly about Jarrod.
We are incredibly grateful for your heartfelt review! Thank you for choosing Good Trip Adventures and entrusting Jarrod as your tour guide. We're thrilled to hear that he provided an exceptional experience, adapting the tour to meet your needs and ensuring everyone had an enjoyable time. We look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures in the future! 🌟🚶♂️🌎
