I highly recommend taking this tour with Grand Canyon Day Tours as the owner and tour guide, Keaton, is extremely knowledgeable as a tour guide. He is educated in the areas of biology, geology and history and shares all that knowledge in relation to the Grand Canyon. Your tour starts with him picking you up in the morning at your hotel in a comfortable van while he teaches you about the surrounding landscape and animal life on your ride up to the canyon. You will have the opportunity to stop at many look-out sites while visiting the south and east rims of the canyon. You will also learn about the pioneers who started various businesses around the canyon and visit sites tied to these individuals. Visiting the Canyon museums is also part of the tour. Keaton provides binoculars for each tour member, and he also brings along a spotting scope, which he sets up for your use. He will show you examples of various rock that make up the canyon and describe them to you. There is no strenuous walking involved and there are plenty of rest breaks and opportunities to visit gift shops and explore on your own. Also, a great lunch is provided as part of your tour at a cafeteria where you can select what you’d like to eat. Keaton has several snacks and drinks in his van to indulge in as well. I believe we gained more knowledge and experienced more taking this tour of the Grand Canyon than we would have if we had taken the train. It was definitely a full and enjoyable day with a seasoned tour guide!

Keaton was an amazing tour guide for our 1st visit to the Grand Canyon. He sure knows his stuff. We booked an all day tour and we saw a lot of sites. Keaton was entertaining and a wealth of knowledge regarding the history of the Grand Canyon including American history, indigenous history and the geological record of the Grand Canyon. He could name every animal and plant in the area and explain the weather patterns and how they contribute to the ecosystem. If you want an enjoyable and informative tour of the Grand Canyon we highly recommend Keaton and Grand Day Tours.
