The Marvelous Van

WILLIAMS — It’s spring time and visitors are taking advantage of the private, guided tour of the Grand Canyon given by Marvelous Marv’s Private Grand Canyon Tour.

Marvelous Marv has been conducting tours to the Grand Canyon for well over thirty-years. He adjust the tour length to the time you have and picks you up where ever you are staying in Williams. He even gives you a disk of pictures he has taken over the years.

Marv’s Marvelous Van is equipped with a DVD system which plays educational videos on the trip to and return from the Canyon. When you arrive, he explains features and history of the Canyon. You then have time to wander, take photos or just enjoy the splendor of the Grand Canyon.

Marv does not just give tours in the spring and summer. His tours are available all year, weather permitting. He often laments that people do not take advantage of the beauty of the Grand Canyon during the “off-season.” The changing climate of the Canyon during the fall and winter provide some spectacular views such as the recent inversion layer witnessed.

If you do not get a reservation to his tours, there is always the Grand Canyon Railway and Jeep tours. You can sign up for the Pink Jeep Tours in downtown Williams.

One way or another, if you visit Williams we can get you to the Grand Canyon.
