Introduction to Your Tour

For our guests who need the very best! A private, luxury, fully-guided all-inclusive vacation to the Grand Canyon and Southwest Parks. You will have the congenial company of TWO of Canyon Dave's university-educated guides.

Once you step off your plane in Flagstaff, we take care of absolutely everything, including needed transfers, from your arrival until your departure flight from Las Vegas. This makes our all-inclusive luxury tours perfect for travellers from abroad as well as domestic.

Canyon Dave knows the finest the region has to offer: world-class activities and nature interpretation and the exclusive local accommodations, restaurants, and amenities for your visit. Yet your deepest memories of the vacation might be a quiet conversation below a towering white cliff on a moonlit evening.

We will strive to present the tour as described below. We recommend booking your tour at least two months in advance. However, we are experts at last minute bookings. We can substitute, as needed and with your agreement, the very best available lodging, adventures, and amenities. During planning we will adjust pricing as appropriate so that, when tour day comes, you will be certain of everything offered and at what price.

And now we present your tour:

Three National Parks: Grand Canyon, Zion Canyon, and Bryce Canyon plus Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend!

The all-inclusive price covers: transportation and two full-time guides, all hotels, all meals, all listed activities featuring a helicopter sight-seeing tour, a dinner with native Navajo Dances, airport transfers, all park admissions, and all gratuities except guide's tips. Alcohol is not provided.

Upon your arrival, we will meet you at your Flagstaff airport security gate, collect your luggage, and shuttle you to your hotel called Little America, the best in the city. Here you may relax until our tour starts next morning.
