Phenomenal Tour - Keaton was a phenomenal guide and elevated every aspect of our visit to Grand Canyon National Park. Having a guide to show us the best spots, take care of logistics, and answer or every question (believe me, our nerdy group tried to stump him!) was worth every penny. I will never attempt a visit to a national park without a guide like Keaton again!"

Grand Canyon all day tour - Wow, such a great trip. Canyon Dave's tour guide, Keyton, was amazing. Every stop along the way was so informative and interesting. Answered all questions and took care of all the details. Obvious that tour guide loved outdoors and history. Views breathtaking.

Wonderful experience! - Our First trip to Grand Canyon made exceptional with Seaton. There wasn’t a single question asked that he did not know the answer to. We learned so much and he took us to the best observation spots to avoid a lot of the other tours and tourist. Perfect day 😊

Canyon Dave Tour - Keaton is an exceptional guide with Canyon Dave Tours. He is very knowledgeable about the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Flagstaff. When we arrived at the entrance to the Grand Canyon, it was snowing. We walked to a lookout area and could see nothing but thick clouds. Keaton directed us into the museum, gave an overview of the geology of the canyon and let us look around. We then visited the two hotels in the park and several other museums. We stopped periodically at lookout areas and gradually the snow stopped and the clouds started to lift. We had lunch at a deli that served good food and was included in the price of the tour. We then drove along the rim, stopping at viewing areas. The visibility continued go improve until our last stop was beautiful. I would highly recommend this tour. I know that with the weather conditions we had, we would have been very disappointed if we were on our own.

Great Tour - Our multi-generational girls trip (Grandma, Mom, teens) to the Grand Canyon was excellent. In addition to the stunning views, we enjoyed learning about the history, geology and wildlife of the canyon from our knowledgeable guide. Everything was very convenient, from pickup in Flagstaff to provided lunch to our guide moving the vehicle so we didn’t have to walk back through the canyon village in the falling snow.
