Highly recommend the guided tour with Canyon Dave's - 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.

For the ultimate experience - 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.

Fantastic tour - 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!

See and hear all there is to know (or a lot of it) about the Grand Canyon - 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.

Great scenery and safe trip on the rim - 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
