Grand Canyon Tour Questions | Grand Canyon Tour

There are FAQ's and then there are our FAQ's for your Grand Canyon tour. The following FAQ's may or may not be true but we'll let you be the judge of which ones are real and which ones are just humor. Our guides' sense of humor varies from from sarchasitc to witty.

We understand that you do have some serious questions though and have answered the most common types of questions that we get from prospective guests. We are also happy to help people who are planning a short-term vacation at Grand Canyon National Park and have random questions. We can be reached by phone, post, or email.

..WHAT KIND OF ADVICE DO YOU OFFER TRAVELERS on your grand canyon tours

We provide all sorts of advice for our Grand Canyon tour guests and will go to any extreme to help them. Once, I had this older couple that was worried about what their teenaged son wanted to be when he left the house in a few years. I suggested that we do a little test to find out. As we were setting up the picnic lunch I took a 10 dollar bill, a bible, and a bottle of whiskey and laid it on the blanket. I told the parents to hide behind a tree with me as I shouted for the boy to come and eat.

My plan was simple. I explained to the parents if he takes the money, he’ll be a businessman. If he takes the bible, he’ll be a preacher and lecture people. If he takes the whiskey then he’ll be a drunkard. So, the parents waited nervously with me, peeping from around the tree. The son arrived for lunch and saw the picnic spread. He took the 10-dollar bill, held it up against the skylight, and slid it into his pocket. After that, he took the bible, flicked through it, and took it. Then, he grabbed the bottle of whiskey, opened it, and took a swig to be assured of the quality. Suddenly, he skipped off down the trail carrying all three items.

I ran out from behind the tree shaking my fists into the air and stomping on the ground. The mother and father stumbled behind me shouting, “What is it? What is it? What does that mean?” I said, “Darn it! He’s going to be a politician!”

..WHAT IS THE STRANGEST STORY YOU'VE HEARD doing grand canyon tours

Husbands and wives always beat their chests when they come to Vegas on a "Boys or Girls" weekend, bragging about who "holds the pants" in their house! Well, one morning three guys got into the van and started talking about how they had their wives so pushed around and tamed that they could come to Las Vegas ANYTIME without their permission. The first two were real braggers, telling how they could get their poor wives to do ANYTHING. They looked at their third friend who was a bit silent. He nodded then said, “Well, I have my wife so tamed that the other day I had her crawling on her hands and knees!”

The other two men were very impressed and asked him how he managed that.

The man replied, “Well, I was laying under the bed when she crawled over and shouted, ‘Come out and fight like a man!’”

.DO YOU PICK GUESTS UP AT PRIVATE RESIDENCES

Yes, we do pick our guests up at private residences for their Grand Canyon tour. However, it will be earlier then the scheduled 6:00am time depending on where you are staying. Most people stay in timeshares that are within a few miles of the Strip. Simply click on the "PRIVATE RESIDENCE" button when booking your tour and leave the address there. If you do not have the address available at the time of booking then please follow up with that by email as soon as possible.

.HOW LONG IS OUR GRAND CANYON TOUR?

The U.S Government isn't as complicated as many would perceive but many international travelers are very interested in the U.S. Government. The best way we can explain it is like this:

Once upon a time some pilgrims found a vast space of land with a bountiful garden in it. They were concerned that someone would steal from the garden at night so they decided to form a Congress, created a night watchman position, and hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, “How does the watchman do his job without instruction?” So, they created a planning department and hired two people; one to write the instructions and one to do time studies.

Then Congress said, “How will we know if the watchman is doing his tasks correctly?” So, they created a quality control department and hired two more people; one to study and evaluate the quality of work and another to tell the watchman he was doing everything wrong.

Then Congress said, “How are all of these people going to get paid?” So, they created an administrative section and hired three people; an administrative official, an assistant, and a legal secretary.

Then Congress said, “We’ve had this in operation for one year now and are $18,000 over budget. We must cut back our costs!” So, they laid off the night watchman.

True as we can tell it, that's how it works!

..WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE DO YOU MEET doing grand canyon tours

We meet all sorts of people on our Grand Canyon tours. We are always happy to help our guests and some of our guides become very good friends with our customers. Once, one of our guides named Katie felt really bad for a guy who had missed his plane out of town. The next available flight was in two days and all of the hotels were booked or charging outrageous prices that he could not afford. He called us to see if we had any advice and wouldn’t you know that big-hearted Katie offered to let him stay at her house! She tells the guy that she has a dinner-date with friends and would be back very late that night.

When she arrives back home she sees the guy sitting in the front room. She approaches him and tells the guy to remove her dress. So, the guy removes her dress. She then asks the guy to remove her bra so he does that too. She then asks him to remove her underwear and he does this also. Katie then tells the guy to never dress in her clothes again.

..HOW HARD IS THE WALK for the grand canyon tours

The walk is easy but the altitude is what effects the people the most. We've had guests with canes take the walking tour. The trail is flat and paved like a sidewalk. We walk on the trail west of Grand Canyon Village. This part of the trail is not accessible to all of the big bus tours so we won't have 200 people at every lookout point. It is remote, quiet, and very peaceful.

..WHERE DID YOU GET THE PICTURES FOR YOUR WEBSITE?

All of the pictures on our website were taken during our Grand Canyon walking tour and are property of Grand-Adventures.com. Our guides will point out good photographs for you.

..WHO DESIGNED YOUR WEBSITE about these grand canyon tours

I designed the website after learning it was impossible to get what you wanted withou without paying a fortune for it. I wanted to make too many updates and changes so the smart thing to do was to learn how to build websites myself. I took a class on Dreamweaver and am able to make all of my own changes now!
