Family Tours
All Canyon Dave's Tours Are Family Tours
Families are especially welcome on all our Canyon Dave Tours. We love kids and we play games
with them as we teach them. Some parents have doubts that their active young children will be able to
enjoy a tour without becoming bored or agitated. We have found the opposite to be true.
Our methods of combining learning with play are so successful! Young kids 5-12 enjoy the Full Day Tour
and are sad when it is over. (But you will be happy!)
For example, at Grand Canyon your children will learn of the four chapters of Grand Canyon
geologic history and will be invited to act out each chapter, to the delight of everyone. This is always
a memorable photo or video opportunity.
As we walk the safe paths (that are not too close to the edge!),
the kids have plenty to see and do. A child's innate curiosity often inspires the most interesting
questions.
For our drives between viewpoints, we have wildlife pictures and children's' books on interesting
topics to keep them busy and happy. Our explanations of animals, plants and history are given in a way that
kids can easily understand, without over-simplifying, so the adults are also well-informed.
Your family vacation is special and important to you, and to us. We pride ourselves in providing
an immensely enjoyable day for everyone, both young and old.
Tours with Infants and Toddlers
The public tours are best for 5 to 12-year-olds (use your judgement). But on our special Private Tours, all infants, toddlers, and big kids are welcome with you! You will want to bring your own car seats. We will be able to accommodate any and all special stops for taking care of the little ones. It feels so great for the parents to enjoy the marvelous Grand Canyon even with infants on our Private Tours.
