An amazing Grand Canyon experience - We had an amazing day touring Grand Canyon with Keaton our guide. He was friendly and courteous. Most importantly very knowledgeable of the geology of Grand Canyon and its history. We learned a lot and spent the day very efficiently with him guiding us to the locations that are worthwhile. It's totally worth every penny. We also got a free lunch to our surprise. I definitely recommend this highly.

A great tour of the Grand Canyon! - We usually don’t do tours, but I wanted my husband to relax and not worry about driving. So glad we decided on this particular tour. Keaton picked us up at our hotel in Williams. We joined two other couples for our tour. We got to see all of the best views of the GC and learned so much history and geology. Keaton really loves his job and knows his stuff. In addition to seeing the GC, we had plenty of time in the gift shops and had a delicious lunch. F

An absolute must-do - An amazing day. Leo, our wonderful, knowledgeable driver and guide picked us up from our hotel in Williams at the appointed time and we made a group of 6. She very expertly drove us to some fabulous viewpoints of the Grand Canyon, all of which exceeded our expectations. We learned a lot about the geology of the canyon, the rocks, the animals, the history. We stopped and chose lunch and then motored on to a brilliant spot overlooking the canyon to eat and learn some more. The afternoon continued in the same vein. We also stopped at a small gathering of native Indians selling genuine Indian handmade items. I was so pleased to be able to buy knowing that they were made locally. Absolutely beautiful stuff, jewellery, dream catchers, all sorts. I don’t think many of the tours include this, which is such a shame. So. One of the very few 5* I have ever given but so well deserved. But make sure to book as early as you can as they get booked up quickly!

The Grand, Grand Canyon Tour - Our tour guide, Keaton, was perfect for us! He has visuals to help explain the evolution of time and the Grand Canyon. Loved all the history facts and color stories of the people and how they left their mark on the Grand Canyon.

Canyon Dave Tours is a great company! - This tour company is one of the best we have taken. Keaton, our guide, was extremely personable, great knowledge of Grand Canyon, history of the canyon, major governmental acts that led to being a National Park. Binnoculars were provided, water all day, handouts and visuals used when providing information.

Great experience! - We were very glad with the decision to have the guided tour for Grand Kanyon. Keaton was a great guide who had answers to nearly all questions. He drove us to places we would not have gone to without him. It was definitely worth the money.
