Itinerary
Once hotel pickups are complete, your journey to the Grand Canyon begins with a comfortable three-hour drive from Las Vegas. Relax in a climate-controlled vehicle with reclining seats, oversized windows, and video monitors as your driver shares expert commentary along the way. After exploring the canyon, you’ll return to Las Vegas in time to enjoy an evening out on the town.
Pause at the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge for a prime photo opportunity of the magnificent Hoover Dam. Walk out onto the pedestrian walkway for sweeping, unobstructed views of this world-famous engineering marvel and capture stunning photos from a unique vantage point high above the Colorado River. This memorable stop lets you fully appreciate the scale and beauty of both the dam and the surrounding canyon landscape.
Pass by: After an exclusive breakfast stop, journey through the ancient Joshua Tree Forest aboard a comfortable Mercedes Sprinter van on your way to the Grand Canyon West Rim. This scenic drive offers a glimpse of the desert’s unique beauty, with its towering Joshua trees and rugged terrain. As the road turns a bit dusty and bumpy, you’ll know you’re getting closer to one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders.
Enjoy four hours of unguided exploration at Grand Canyon West Rim, allowing you to customize your visit at each major attraction. For the ultimate adventure, upgrade to the Helicopter-Boat Combo and descend 4,000 feet by helicopter to the canyon floor, where you’ll board a pontoon boat for a scenic ride along the Colorado River. Cap off your experience with the iconic Skywalk (if option is selected), offering breathtaking panoramic views over one of the world’s natural wonders.
Discover the rich heritage of Eagle Point Indian Village, where you can explore authentic replica dwellings and immerse yourself in Native American history and culture. Experience captivating performances of traditional dance and learn about the captivating traditions and daily life of the region’s indigenous tribes. This cultural stop at Grand Canyon West offers an engaging and educational glimpse into Native American life, past and present.
Step onto the spectacular Grand Canyon Skywalk (if option is selected), where you can walk over the edge of the canyon on a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge that extends 70 feet beyond the West Rim. Suspended 4,000 feet above the canyon floor, this engineering marvel offers breathtaking, unobstructed views straight down into the vast expanse below—creating the unforgettable sensation of walking on air and seeing the Grand Canyon like never before.
Enjoy spectacular, 360-degree views over the Colorado River as you dine at Guano Point—a breathtaking spot for lunch during your Grand Canyon West adventure. It’s an unforgettable setting to relax and savor your meal, with both classic and plant-based dishes available to suit every appetite.

Traveler reviews
Fantastic highly recommend
Mike our tour guide was informative and fun. Such a fantastic tour and I would highly recommend it. We managed to do the Zip wire but it meant not leaving time for Eagle point and Guano point. We were told that doing the Zip wire wouldn’t leave much time but we went against the good advice of Mike. However what an experience. We did manage the sky walk and that was incredible. My only flaw would be it would have been nice to have had 4 hours at the canyon to get everything done.
Did not meet expectation
The Driver Chris was amazing and timely. I was picked up at exactly 6:30am. The coach was somewhat comfortable but old. Chris gave us some history of the ride to the Hoover Dam. One the way, for the five people who opted for breakfast, we stopped at a gas station where there was a Subway and a choice of 4 breakfast sandwiches. They were to go and eaten back on the coach as Chris wanted to get us to the first destination, the Hoover Dam. The Coach was parked in a large parking lot at the Hoover Dam. We were allowed 30 minutes to walk up to the Tillman Bridge. Cross the bridge which is quite long and return to the van to proceed to the West Ridge of the Grand Canyon. Once there we were allowed 4 hours to go to Eagle Point and Guano. (There was a third destination called “The Ranch” but were advised not to go there as the buses to that point were very sporadic.). There was a bus that took us to both destinations and was very timely. Lunch at either point was very cafeteria style. Guano was outside only and had two selections on their menu. The cafeteria at the Eagle location had an amazing view but window seating (to see the view) was very limited and you were not allowed to wait for a window seat. Let me say, before I summarize, that the driver, Chris, was very customer friendly with some fun stories. The coach felt crowded and old, I felt like I was provided a ride to two locations but there was no Tour Guide. Chris was the driver, the rest of the tour was an on your own experience. For $300.00 dollars, which is what I paid, I thought it was a lot of money for very little. I received a ride to and from and a fast food breakfast and lunch. I wish I could be more positive but the tour was below average for the price.
Great day out to Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon and Hoover dam tour. An amazing experience from our trip to Vegas, would defined recommend. The guide Tahke was very informative and entertaining, and made the trip special.
Las Vegas for my Birthday!
Second tour with Prince this week for my wife and I. The sites were of course phenomenal; however, Prince made both tours absolutely outstanding by providing related facts and information in a professional well spoken manner. This guy is a PRO! Ask for Prince when scheduling tours in and around Las Vegas.
Always rushing
There was a lot to experience but very little time. Booked the experience with breakfast and lunch. Breakfast was grab and go which really was okay except the fact there were no cup holders therefore very awkward. For the Hoover dam bridge overlook only enough time to walk to the middle and take a picture and walk back. The Grand Canyon had lots to experience but because our tour guide expected us back to the bus an hour earlier than anticipated it was so rushed it made the trip stressful. At the time of booking the helicopter experience was also recommended, but the time constraints gave us only an hour to make it to the other Grand Canyon stops nor enough time for lunch. Also the ticket that was to be scanned in order to enter the skywalk didn’t work so that was a hassle. In all fairness the trip would be a 5 star if return time would have been an hour later.
