We believe that we respond to an unfulfilled need among tour participants.

We perceive this strongly in our own experiences and in the expressed wishes of our participants. We don’t enjoy tours that merely transport us and present information.

We want dialogue, interaction, and learning.

Our participants, both adult and child, are surprised to receive what they always wanted but may not have experienced before.

Because these principles direct our company’s culture, we offer something that cannot be obtained in any other way, and it is more than our guests expected. As a result, our guests feel lucky (and smart) to have chosen our tour.

So, Dave started Canyon Dave Tours! The same wonderous field trips, but every day of the year!
