Grand Canyon Tour for Seniors
Can you walk briskly around your block? Can you climb into a tour van on your own using our stool?
**If so, you should go to our Ultimate Full Day Tour and book that one instead.**
The Ultimate and Senior tours cover the same material and viewpoints. However, the Senior Tour is much slower and with more sitting. We will call you to help decide.
Great for seniors and slower-walking guests who want a leisurely tour. Your walker or cane are welcome. We can probably fit a collapsible wheelchair in the back of the van, but our vans are normal, not specially modified.
If you bring your disability card we can get that closer parking space.

What is the Senior Tour Like?
There are no long walks or hiking, just short, paved paths to exquisite viewpoints. However, you must be able to climb up two steps into and out of our passenger van by yourself.
We drive our comfortable vans on smooth paved roads--no off-road, bumpy discomfort or jeep ladders to climb. We have plenty of restrooms--in fact, Dave designed our tours around pit stops! You will have beverages and snacks on board.
Our patient guides care about your comfort and safety. There are step stools and always a helping hand (but we can't lift you up as you exit and re-enter the van). If you get tired you can even remain in the van or sit nearby (we'll get you a chair). Here you might want to read one of our books or colorful take-home handouts about the Grand Canyon.
You will enjoy our many educational stops, including the Sit-at-the-Rim geology presentation, our guests' favorite. We will pass around eight rock specimens, including the Vishnu Schist, to better learn and understand the geology.
If you use a wheelchair or walker, we can often fit it in the back if you let us know in advance. But we can't lift you or a heavy chair in and out of the van. Light-weight collapsible wheelchairs are appropriate for Senior Tours and all Private Tours only.
Don't worry about walking ability when you plan your Grand Canyon vacation. Even if your mobility is somewhat limited, you will see the Redwall Limestone and other colorful rock layers. We will be walking slowly, standing at the railing, or sitting in the view.
Unlike a jeep tour, in our comfortable air-conditioned vans you will have no ladder to climb up and down.

Really impressive tour and views. We had a wonderful tour with Leanore. She spent so much time with us and shared
decades of detailed knowledge and history. You can tell this was not just a job, but a life's passion.
My daughter and I left with learning about the History, the geology, the majesty of this beautiful area.
I had been on another tour years ago, and it was so limited in comparison.
I would STRONGLY recommend them to anyone who wants to maximize their grand canyon experience.
