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 -Tre

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.

A 10 Day!! - 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!!
