Grand Canyon Half Day Tour

Dora, Canyon Dave's wife and guide, looked at our guests...

"Some of these people have little kids. Many don't have much time for a tour. Some folks just want a briefer introduction and want a Grand Canyon tour guide with life-long knowledge about the Canyon. You know what we need? We should have a shorter tour!" she exclaimed,

"Let's have a Three Hour Tour! "

Absolutely all our Grand Canyon escorted tours are fully guided. We will even eat lunch with you. More importantly, we want to help you to understand and perhaps come to love the Grand Canyon. It is a precious place. Our guides' hearts are here. Dave says his spirit flows beside a clear, bubbling stream under the cottonwood trees in Bright Angel Canyon.
