Our Educational Tours

Custom Tours

 

Walk Softly Tours is unsurpassed in Arizona travel.  Owned and staffed by native Arizonans and Native Americans, Walk Softly Tours brings you the ultimate in knowledge of the state and subjects seasoned travelers expect from an ecotour.  Our educational backgrounds are in biology, botany, geology, anthropology, paleoanthropology, archaeology, and photography.  Unlike many ecotour guides though, we don't lecture, we explore.

Our American Indian tours take you to sites seldom seen by non Indians and treat you to foods, arts and ceremonies typically unattainable to non Indians.  The setting is the Colorado Plateau, the home of the ancient Anasazi Indians more recently the Hopi, Navajo and Pueblo.

Our Custom tours encompass the entire west, including Bryce Canyon, Zion Canyon, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, Glacier National Park, the Little Bighorn, Yosemite, the Redwoods, Death Valley and Big Bend.

Our Educational Workshops feature native Arizona guides and native American Indian guides from the Hopi and Navajo tribes.  We customize each and every tour for Middle School through college to meet the requirements of the curriculum set forth by teachers and professors.  Our tours go to both northern and southern Arizona, southern Utah, western New Mexico and south western Colorado.  Our specialty is Indian culture and history.  The most common destinations are Canyon de Chelly, Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Hopi, Meteor Crater, Bisbee and Fort Huachuca.

Come explore with us, this wondrous land and learn about its diversity, its incredibly interconnected nature, its immense history and its frightening fragility.

"We take a tour to somewhere in the world every year and this was the best tour we have ever been on".  Marilyn and friends, upon returning from the Hopi / Navajo Tour
