10/10 recommend! - Very informative, professionally run tour. Our tour guide Keaton was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have only one day to explore the Grand Canyon like we did. Our guide took many photos of our group for us. And he provided historical, geological and anthropological information throughout the day. We really enjoyed this tour!

Do not miss this awesome adventure! - The tour was the ultimate experience of awesome vistas, one surpassing the next. So breathtaking that I teared up at the initial view! We were 2 couples in 70’s and 80’s and this tour was very do-able. The perfect amount of time was spent at each vista. Riding in a van offered flexibility to see more of the Canyon’s south rim than we would have managed on our own. Our terrific guide, Keaton, is extremely personable and shared an overwhelming amount of ecology, geology and history of the area. It was akin to a 6-hour seminar; you come away smarter! We continued to marvel at Keaton’s vast knowledge long after we left.. He truly enhanced our experience, including a U-turn to stop for us enjoy a longer look at a herd of Mule Deer!

Your Canyon Student 😁 - My family and I came over to Arizona for a trip and sight seeing. All of the tour guides were given leave for the holidays and Canyon Dave took us on a tour himself. It was honestly my favorite part of the trip. From the educational and fun drives, to the beautiful sights, Dave truly made us feel comfortable and welcome. He was so knowledgeable about all of the surroundings that it made me happy knowing I was leaving knowing more about the Grand Canyon and Arizona. Dave mentioned he was a professor at university for a while and he left me wishing I'd been lucky enough to take one of his classes. I have nothing bad to say, he was super accommodating and looked out for my grandma and mom. I only pray that everyone can experience these tours like we did

Dave’s Canyon Tours - The tour of the canyon was way beyond our expectations. The main reason for that other than the vistas was what Keaton brought to the excursion. To simplify it he was phenomenal. Can’t explain how knowledgeable and professional he was the entire trip.

Great - Keaton was great! His knowledge of the geology, history, and legend of GC was wonderful. He took us to all the views so we really got to see the canyon.
We only had one day. We did this tour instead of the train ride, and SoGladWeDid!!
Thank you for a great day, Keaton!

Fun day with Keeton at the Grand Canyon - Keeton has a wealth of information about the Grand Canyon and shares it in an enjoyable and friendly way. He was a joy to spend our day with. We would recommend this tour and Keeton to anyone who wants to see the best views of the Grand Canyon and learn about it history.
