★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,071 reviews · 15 to 16 hours (approx.) · from $71Best value

You will cross Boulder City, Kingman, and Seligman, then get about three hours near Mather Point, Hopi House, and Bright Angel Lodge. Guides such as Jim, Robert, Russ, and Curty are praised for clear Southwest history.

“First, the Grand Canyon never disappoints, but beyond the canyon, Robert, our tour guide, made the whole trip enjoyable! We were provided with several very good choices when preordering our breakfast and lunch the day prior to the trip (yummy). Robert provided narrative along the way of many interesting facts…but he did not talk the whole way either…excellent balance! I recommend the walking tour with Robert for an extra $25. Lots of fun stops along the way there. Fewer stops on the way back…remember to use the bathroom facilities before you board the bus to return to Vegas. Very fun trip! Highly recommend this tour company!”

Traveling in a small group made a huge difference — it felt personal, relaxed, and much more enjoyable than being on a crowded bus. The views at the Grand Canyon were absolutely breathtaking. Pictures truly don’t do it justice. Hoover Dam was equally impressive, and stopping at 7 Magic Mountains added a fun and colorful contrast to the natural scenery. Brian, our tour guide, made the entire experience exceptional. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely engaging. He shared interesting history,…”

The facility is immaculate and the staff is beyond friendly. The pilot (my apologies but I can't remember his name, from Alaska and has only been there a few months) was awesome! He made her feel very safe and had such a calming demeanor. Very knowledgeable and answered every question we had. The experience couldn't have been better. EPIC!”
