Grand Canyon Tour From Tusayan

This was our first visit to the Canyon and it was a great experience thanks to our guide Jordan with Dave’s canyon tours. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating during our day tour from Tucsayan. We visited various key spots and he provided a lot of history and facts along the way. Very helpful and knowledgeable of the entire area, including many details of the Grand Canyon. We were fortunate to see the mules gathered, as well as the train and steam engine. Given the water restrictions in the area, and previous rainy weather, we enjoyed a wonderful visit to the canyon. Thank you Jordan!

Wonderful tour with too tall John. He was full of interesting info and we never felt rushed. He was also very respectful of the park!

Apparently Canyon Dave has been doing this a while, and it shows through his guides. We had Jordan and he was absolutely knowledgeable after only doing this job for a few months. This was our first time to the Grand Canyon and Jordan gave us the history going back billions of years as well as the layers of each rock and formation we saw in front of us. He shared numerous pamphlets with us so we could visualize things and it was great. It was only my husband and I on the tour, but I don't think that mattered to him; we still received the best service and tour possible. We enjoyed all his water and snacks (ice would be recommended for the future) and we were still able to eat lunch even during this trying time for the Canyon. We felt like Jordan was one of our own by the end of the day as we just talked about many other things are our way home. THANK you so much to Jordan and his great service.

We were able to see the majority of viewing points from the South Rim with the help of a tour guide who explained the history associated with the development in the park. The GC is unlike any other natural wonder -- what a great experience!

Great way to explore the South Rim of the Grand Canyon! Our tour guide Leo (Leanore) is extremely knowledgeable and a very good communicator. She moved us around various points of interest at a comfortable pace, sharing the history, geology, biology, and tribal significance of the Canyon. She had several interactive tools for us to learn from, and was great at answering questions of every sort. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to do more than just look at the Grand Canyon.

It was a great tour. We had the most informative guide named Jake. I certainly would recommend him for the tour of the Grand Canyon.

We had a fun, informative day with Linda. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a true passion for her job.

Our guide was Linda Edward’s who personable, most knowledgeable and willing to tailor the tour to our preferences. We have taken hundreds of tours associated with a number of cruises and have booked several on our own through Viator. Ms. Edward’s ranks among the top 2-3 guides we have been with.

We were a group of 2 families of 4 on a tour for our first time seeing the Grand Canyon. Excellent tour guide, Jake. He accommodated all our needs and was very informative. Highly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful tour that started at 9:30 this morning and we didn't get back to our hotel until about 3:00. Our guide was Linda and she did a great job what we really appreciated was being able to see so many sites at the canyon that we would not have been able to see without her expertise! We think her for a wonderful experience.

My husband and I are visiting the Grand Canyon for the first time as retirees. I would highly recommend the all-day tour with Jake. He picked us up at our hotel in a comfortable van and took us to so many of the key vantage points on the south rim. He was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the national park, the geology and creation of the canyon, the plants, trees and wildlife of the region. Drinks and snacks were available to enjoy. He made good recommendations of other areas to visit in the area on our own as well. He even through in a little true crime story. We could not have been happier with our tour experience and hope to return again.

John was very knowledgeable and had lots of interesting information about all the places we stopped at.

Tour operator Jack was very knowledgeable about the area! He talked about how the canyon was formed, where the Native Americans lived, and how they survived. The sights were breathtaking.

Leo was a wonderful guide. She provided a lot of information which made the tour more enjoyable. The Grand Canyon has so much to see that taking the tour was a great investment for us to learn and get a guidance on how to enjoy it better the following day that we were on our own.

The best way to see the Grand Canyon south rim Our guide/driver,Leo, was so friendly. Super knowledgeable on the canyon. Came with geological,flora,fauna,fossil info sheets as well as rock samples. Gave a great talk on the formation of the canyon. Knew all the highlight points. Answered all questions. Highly recommend Canyon Dave tour You won't be disappointed

John was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a nice way to experience the park.

Takes from Angel point to Dessert point great facts about the history of the canyon and the rock formation

The tour guide John was very knowledgeable about the Grand Canyon and its history. The tour itself was not rushed and we had plenty of opportunities to take in the beauty of the Grand Canyon.

John was a great tour guide! We learned a lot, enjoyed our fellow tourists. Highly recommend! It was a great day!

The experience was amazing. I loved being educated by John along the extent of the entire tour and enjoyed knowing just how much the owner of Dave Canyon Tours contributed to the geological study of the canyon. I was prepared to see a canyon, not a whole community! It was more than I imagined and John took great pride in educating us from all the beauty and amazing accomplishments of people who lived in the canyon to all of the not so glamorous side of the canyon... death, both accidental and preventable. I'm a snacker, so knowing that snacks were provided as well as lunch was great! John took great care of us and I would definitely recommend this tour if you want more than just a silent vehicle ride and a couple of picture perfect moments. Thanks!

Very thorough tour, our guide was fantastic and so steeped in the geological knowledge it was an awesome bonus! Went at our pace and our kids had a very memorable time, highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic. The guide was very knowledgeable and was very friendly and did a great job. We saw many wonderful sites and had a great time.

Lots of details and background information about the Grand Canyon makes the experience even better. Well worth it!!

Our family of four (two seniors, two grandkids) shared a big van with another family of four (young couple w/ two small children), and everyone had plenty of room. Our amiable driver, John, clearly enjoys his job, and provided us an excellent experience, with interesting commentary on our numerous stops (even a geology lesson -- complete with labeled rock samples -- on the Canyon at one point). The (included) lunch at one of the lodges was top-notch. Then there was the Grand Canyon itself. A lifelong bucket-list item for the two seniors, it was everything we'd hoped it would be, breathtaking at every turn (we even lucked into a gorgeous sunrise as we headed east from the Park the next morning). If you're planning your own trip to the Grand Canyon, we highly recommend the guided tour option with Canyon Dave's. There's no doubt we saw and learned more than we would have had we ventured about on our own.

John was a great guide. Knew tons about the history of the Grand Canyon and the characters who were involved in it from the past.

It was great to have a guide who was knowledgeable about the geology, history and environment of the Grand Canyon. We were so glad we did this. Keaton was so very happy to answer our many questions.

The tour was great. John was fantastic. He was very knowledgable and friendly. Also he was very patient with all of our questions.

You could go on you own and you will have the experience of a lifetime. But I recommend this tour because you will learn so much about how the canyon was formed, the history of the area, the vegetation, and the wildlife. It picks up from most local hotels and you get to see even more while being driven.

John was a wonderful guide. I was the only person so I was concerned I would get a tour that was rushed but John was great and gave a great tour!

Keaton was born to tell the story of the Grand Canyon. A great guide. He has to drive to and from Flagstaff (90 minutes each way) but did not rush us in the least on the six-hour tour.

Keaton gave us a great experience starting with the convenient pickup from our hotel and throughtout the whole day. Lunch and snacks were provided and he is very knowledgeable on the regions history. We definitely recommend this tour.

Very informative and interesting . Makes for a memorable day . Going later in the season makes for a less congested visit.

Great experience with knowledgeable guide. Thank you Keaton for taking us to memorable places and keeping us safe. Many places without fences, most actually, we were able to avoid and still see the great scenery. Good restaurant and enough restrooms on the way. Very informative story and even handouts with relevant facts. Thanks

We wanted our grand-girls, 11&14, to see and learn as much as possible in the 1-day we were going to be at the Canyon. The tour allowed us to sit back and enjoy the Canyon and not deal with the logistics of navigating ourselves through the park. So stress-less!! Best of all, our guide, Keaton, was full of interesting facts and able to answer our questions as well.

John was very knowledgeable on the different rocks & layers that make up the majestic Grand Canyon. His knowledge on the Kolb brothers & other pioneers was very exciting to listen too. Bought some rocks to show my 4 yr old kids at the day school I work at. They will love them.

This was a great tour and highly educational coverage of the Grand Canyon. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the canyon and its history. Doing this tour first will prepare you for highly productive follow up visits on your own

Keaton was our tour guide and did an excellent job! He was extremely knowledgeable about everything related to the Grand Canyon and very personable! He even remembered all of our names.

We had an amazing time. Leo, the tour guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the area very friendly easy to talk to me well with the family really Abel to go deep into the sites and give us a lot of explanation and background about the area. Wonderful experience.

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!

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!

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 -Tre

We had a fantastic tour with Keaton. We were picked up at our hotel in Tusayan and dropped back there after the tour. Many thanks Keaton who is so interesting and knowledgeable about the Canyon. Would definitely recommend

What a great day! History, ecology, geology-this tour had it all. Keaton was a wonderful guide. So informative, answered all our questions (even the off-the-wall ones!), very personable. Highly recommend!!

The South Rim views and learning the history of how the Grand Canyon was discovered and the development over the years. Spectacular views. Keaton is and excellent tour guide.

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.

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!

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.

Leo was an amazing tour guide! She knew all the history and told us some great stories about the canyon. It was a day full of great views of the canyon and lots of wildlife! Would 100% choose Canyon Dave again!

Keaton was our guide and he was terrific! Extremely knowledgeable on everything to do with the Grand Canyon!! He spent the perfect amount of time at each stop allowing us to see the south rim from every vantage point. He was cognizant of everyone’s needs including rest stops and lunch, which was a good solid spot with lovely outdoor seating. He looked after every detail including binoculars for each couple and choices of cold beverages on board. We would crank this tour a 10!!
