Best Grand Canyon National Park Tours

All decent tours will leave you smiling. But will you smile when you get back home? Canyon Dave Tours gives you take-home handouts and hands-on techniques like passing around rock specimens of Grand Canyon. This helps you remember the cool things you learned here! We focus on enrichment so that you will truly learn the key information. The more you immerse yourself in the world of the Grand Canyon (or of anything!), the more you will personally grow.

African forester Baba Dioum said, “In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.”

But Canyon Dave still wasn't satisfied...

"Wait a minute," he said. "This is a World Wonder! It demands a tour that reveals its magnificent geology and history, its depth and majesty. I must create a tour that explains how the canyon was carved into this flat landscape. A tour that describes how and when it was discovered. This tour must be enriching and fun!"

Sitting near the edge of the abyss, he thought and thought about how to design such a tour. "Briefly, how can I help them understand the stories of the rock layers? How will they glimpse the march of time through the ages? What are the highlights of the Grand Canyon's rich history?" His answer:

"First timers on bucket list trip! Keaton was a great guide! This was a perfect one day trip. He knew just how to keep us out of traffic and people jams. We saw all of the South Rim overlooks and heard his concise historical, archeological, and geological comments and learned a great deal! He was patient with us older and slower visitors and was very accommodating! Highly recommend this tour!"
