The Majesty of the Grand Canyon - From the several tourist points of the Grand Canyon National Park, you only get to view 10% of the Canyon. And even still the beauty changes from one moment to the next based on the time of day, the position of the sun, and as clouds pass. Our tour guide, John, proved to be extremely knowledgeable of the history and geology of the Grand Canyon. We enjoyed his humor and how he continually put the size of the canyon into perspective. Using one point of reference (The Watch Tower) he would explain how far away that point was from our current viewpoint. As we drew closer to that point, it went from a tiny smudge to a 5-story structure. We quickly realized just how LARGE the canyon was.
John's knowledge of the history of the Grand Canyon was quickly seen at every point we visited. His eagerness to show off this wonder of the world excited us at every stop. He was very passionate during his presentations of every point we visited.
With John's knowledge in the canyon's history and its geology, and the sheer beauty of the colors you witness in the layers of history before you, the Grand Canyon is a MUST experience. We were lucky to have had John as our guide. We would recommend one or two days with a guide, then return to soak it all up for another day or two.
I feel it important to note, that when visiting the Grand Canyon. there will be walking. If you're not use to being at an altitude above 6000 feet, remember to take it slow and have plenty of water with you. John made sure he had water, gatorade, and some light snacks on hand. We would definitely do it all again if we had John with us as a guide.

Great expansive Grand Canyon - I am so glad we booked this tour! Our tour guide, John, was phenomenal. He was so full of interesting information. Canyon Dave is a geologist, so they are very passionate about the rock formations and types of rocks found in the canyon. We went all over the accessible South Rim. It was a full day tour, so we covered a lot of ground and exceptional views. There were only 4 people on the tour, including myself and my spouse, so was a nice small group. I also have a significant fear of heights, the tour leader, John, was very supportive and patient. I'm also a sucker for dad jokes, and John had loads of them. He's no piece of schist!! Overall was a great experience and wouldn't trade it for any of the other tours in the area. Highly recommend! Worth the cost.

Cherished Canyon Memories - John did an amazing job allowing us each to fully appreciate the beauty of The Grand Canyon. He is extremely knowledgeable, witty, considerate, a very safe driver, and punctual. We never felt rushed but got to each of the main lookout points and stayed within the predicted timeframe. I would highly recommend seeing The Grand Canyon in this manner and know you are leaving with beautiful pictures and core memories made.

Educational and spectacular - John is very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the Grand Canyon. He did a great job of explaining everything. He took us to all of the lookout areas with great views.
My only suggestion would be to add a mic for the driver and a speaker in the back of the van. We sat in the last row of a 9-passenger van and sometimes it was hard to hear John because of the road/tire noise.

Educational experience - We only had 1 day at the canyon and wanted to maximise our experience so decided to book a tour, we visited more sites with Keaton than we would have by ourselves. Keaton was very passionate and knowledgeable about the canyon, we certainly learnt way more about the Canyon, the geology, and environment surrounding it, really enjoyed it

Book Canyon Dave - What a wonderful day we had with John. We are retired and travel full time in our B Van. We booked with Canyon Dave and without a doubt the best park tour we have ever taken. John, our guide was noligible and passionate about the Canyon. I would highly recommend this company for your tour of the Canyon. A great day!

Relive the old Wild West days! - I've been to Williams twice: Jan 2024 and Mar 2025. I enjoyed my trip to this small historic town. During the mining days in the late 1800s, the silver miners would make a railroad stop in Williams for supplies and entertainment. Nowadays you can spend the night at the Red Garter, a former brothel, then next day watch a gunfight reenactment before taking a leisurely train ride to the Grand Canyon. Walking along the main street, you'll find plenty of shops and restaurants.And at the end of town there's an exciting roller coaster type sled ride.
