The 15 Best Grand Canyon Tours, Compared

24 tours

The rim you pick decides the day. West Rim is two and a half hours from Las Vegas and adds the glass Skywalk over Hualapai land; South Rim is the view from the postcards and a much longer drive; a helicopter turns either into a morning. Below are the best Grand Canyon trips, with drive times, what is included at each stop, and which ones bolt on Hoover Dam.

“An unforgettable experience. Visiting the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam from Las Vegas is absolutely worth it — seeing both the monumental power of nature and one of the greatest engineering achievements of humanity in the same day is something you should do at least once in your life. I especially appreciated our guide, Charles. He was knowledgeable, clear, and engaging, sharing a lot of interesting history about Las Vegas and the sites we visited. He also took great photos of us, which was a very nice extra touch. Highly recommended.”

“Was great experience. Views were spectacular! The tour guide was funny. Only bad thing is, the guide either had his mouth too close to the mic or the speakers in the bus were not great. It was very hard to understand what he was saying so we missed a lot of the "tour" information.”

“Very organized tour from beginning to end, except for the late arrivers at end. Jim and Justin were good! Jim was knowledgeable and friendly. The reason why not perfect score was that he should have emphasized how critical for everyone to be back on time or earlier after the Grand Canyon trail. We were late though it was not Jim and driver's fault. The late arrivers should be charged extra for keeping all of us waiting. Jim had to look for them. Also Jim and future guide should remind people for not talking so loud. I had a major headache with two families behind us. They were rude and inconsiderate.…”
