Wonderful Grand Canyon Tour with a Great Guide - Our full-day trip to the South and East rim was wonderful! Our guide, Keaton, has a wealth of knowledge of the geology, flora, and fauna of the Grand Canyon.

Our guide and... - Our guide and interpretive naturalist was very knowledgeable about both the human and natural history of the Grand Canyon region. His emphasis was on the geology of the GC and adjacent areas, but he touched on plants, birds, and herps as well. He often used the questions posed by our group to prompt him into a longer discourse about a particular topic. As a former interpretive naturalist myself, I thought that he did a very creditable job!

Ask for Keaton. - Keaton was our guide and he was excellent. Intelligent, knowledgeable about most everything Canyon related and a good conversationalist. I will say the van we were in was getting a little long in the tooth. It wasn’t uncomfortable, just not very new or plush. Bench seats and hard to manage seat belts. That having been said, it wasn’t uncomfortable and it was a great tour.

Amazing Grand Canyon Tour with Canyon Dave Tours! - This review was a day tour from Flagstaff, Arizona to the Grand Canyon South Rim which was a *FANTASTIC* experience! Keaton was amazing, an ENCYCLOPAEDIC knowledge of the Culture, History, Geography, Botany and Ecology of the Grand Canyon. A great guide, very personable and he added so much context to the tour and with each and every spot / stop. Lunch was great also, we really couldn’t rate this tour highly enough, fabulous, thank you Keaton!
