My wife and I were visiting Las Vegas and wanted to see the Grand Canyon. Based on the reviews, we made our reservations with Grand Adventure Tours. So glad we did. First, I will say that if you decide to do this tour, do not plan anything else that day. The sunset tour which we selected picked us up at our hotel at 9:30 am and dropped us of slightly after midnight. From Las Vegas it takes about 4.5 hours to get to the Grand Canyon (this includes a stop at Hoover Dam and frequent bathroom breaks).

Our guide, Alfonso, was amazing, very professional, and an excellent driver !!! He obviously loves his job and is very good at it. We highly recommend requesting Alfonso if you decide to do a tour. He picked us up at our hotel on time and even called me a few minutes prior to let me know he was on his way. The van had 3 other couples on board but there was still plenty of room.

Leaving Las Vegas, our first stop was McDonald's for breakfast (which is included in the tour cost). Alfonso did a great job providing historical facts about Las Vegas and pretty much every area throughout the entire trip. He is very, very knowledgeable about the Nevada/Arizona area and repeatedly begged us to ask questions. The man has a good heart and really cares that all passengers have fun and actually walk away having learned on the trip.

On the way to the Grand Canyon, we stopped at Hoover Dam where Alfonso provided information about the construction of the dam, its history, and the impact on various communities. On the way to the Grand Canyon we made other stops at some pretty neat places along Route 66 for bathroom breaks, snacks, and gas. At each stop, Alfonso did a really great job at taking tons of photos of each couple (from their cameras). It was not until after our trip that I noticed how great these photos turned out.

At the Grand Canyon, we had a sandwich picnic (also included in the cost of the tour) where we learned about the geology of the grand canyon, impact of the Colorado River, plant and animal facts, and just great conversation. Once again, some spectacular photos at sunset. Even though there was a crowd, Alfonso knew exactly where to go for the perfect photo. Be prepared to high-five with a Boom and Boom and Boom.......that was fun.

This was the perfect trip and we would definitely do it again. Thanks Alfonso for your safe driving, tons of great information, and lots of fun.

We went today - looked like one of the higher price tours when I booked it (some do for $90ish) but SO worth it- the trip will take at least 10 hours so the experience needs to be good.. and it was!! We were the only 4 on our tour (other 5 had to cancel last min)- really commend them for not cancelling it/rearranging- I think other companies might have. Pickup very prompt and easy. The max is 10 on your bus anyway which is great as you could pay $90 but be on a huge coach and have to wait for others... McDonald’s and nice lunch provided. Our guide Darryl (hope I haven’t got name wrong!!) was fantastic- gave us so much history about the canyon, Vegas, Nevada... fountain of knowledge!! He was so polite and helpful too. The day is really well planned so you get to the places early when it’s fairly cool and not rammed with tourists... skywalk included- this alone is about $60 if you were to just show up so that’s part of cost of price. Best part was where we did the short hike- AMAZING photo ops and he helped us take pictures. It’s really important to be safe when on the Canyon (some tourists who came alone were way too close to edge) so it was brilliant to have someone who knew all the routes. Was all in hand he had our tickets bus passes etc - such a smooth and stress free experience!! In Vegas where everything seems to have a hidden charge it was so nice for everything to be so upfront and transparent. If you’re going to go to the GC use this company. And I never normally review :)

What a spectacular wonder! People told us pictures do not do it justice they were right. This tour company is top notch and so was Brian our guide! We were an intimate group of 4 - my daughter and myself and another mother daughter pair. Brian was relaxed and flexible with our time at the couple of stops that you make along the way. As well as the time spent at the look out points at the Canyon. The breakfast and lunch that is provided was very good and satisfying. Brian gave tidbits of information along the way that were of interest and added to our experience. I highly recommend this tour company without hesitation!
