Pickup details
We limit the amount of hotels we visit for pickups, so that we can spend more time at the Canyon, and less time on the bus doing pickups. Our hotels for pickup are strategically placed up and down the strip including downtown, so your own hotel should be either right next door or a very short walk away from where you will meet the bus.

Great Tour
Jill_P, Sept 2023
Great time with good friends! Beautiful scenery, yummy food, and an entertaining host. Joe kept us entertained and informed. Was so glad he was our tour guide again as we had him a couple years ago and loved him then. He even sang Happy Bday, Joe style, to my hubby.
Well organised with...
roy_s, Sept 2023
Well organised with practical suggestions on managing time and queues at the Canyon.
Perhaps Ralph's personal opinions, conspiracy theories and comment he didn't like Aussies on his bus was a bit over the top.
Great tour to the West Rim
Stephanie_C, Sept 2023
I debated which rim to visit and I was so glad we chose this tour going to the West Rim. Our tour guide, Parker, was funny, informative and a great guide! We spent just enough time at both stops at the Grand Canyon. I am also super glad we paid the extra money for the Sky Bridge. You got to see the depth of the canyon from Eagle Point this way. Afterwards we stopped at the Hoover Dam bridge. I do wish we would have a little more time there though. It took almost the entire time given to just walk up there and back. There was no time to enjoy the view or read any of the signs. I think the food was okay on the trip but I could have done without it and made the overall trip a little cheaper personally. Overall a win! I definitely recommend!
Worth Every Penny
Timothy_K, Sept 2023
The tour was worth every penny. The guide and driver (Johnny and Patrick) did a great job.
Johnny provided entertainment for what could have been a boring drive and Patrick is a masterful driver.
I was unaware that this was a "Comedy" tour. I was expecting a general educational tour. All was good. Johnny is a standup comic working to perfect his craft. I'm game to help as that is one of the toughest gigs on earth.
There are a few things that I wish I had known. Nothing that should deter you from taking the trip, though. Definitely do it!
The 2nd stop at the GC, Eagle Point, is mostly spent waiting in two lines. The first one is the line to the Skywalk. That line was around a full hour.
Plus, once you get onto the Skywalk you're rushed by photographers to get 8 specific shots. During that time you have very little time to enjoy the splendid views. Personal photography is not allowed on the Skywalk.
One might consider skipping the Skywalk or refusing the photos and simply taking 3-5 minutes to enjoy the view. The photos were meh and they were pricey.
Lunch is also at this location. Service at the outside food trailer is slow. We waited in line another 35-40 minutes to get lunch as well.
Something to consider.
Guano Point was fabulous (the final stop at the GC). Wear comfortable shoes with solid traction. If you're able to climb both rocky spots do it. Take your time and have some fun.
Overall this was a great trip and provided genuine value. The two meals provided were solid quality, had plenty of complimentary water, abundant opportunities to use clear restrooms and no personal driving or parking headaches.
If you're on the fence, do yourself a solid and take the tour.
Worth it!
MaFlodette_S, Sept 2023
This was our first time to see the grand canyon west rim side and it was worth it! Meals were included but it was so so, your typical american brekky and lunch. Time was managed well, all other tour companions were prompt in returning to our bus. Parker was our guide and he added much needed laughter to our trip. Kudos to him and our driver, Mel. Would recommend this tour for sure!
Great tour!!!
Josef_L, Sept 2023
We were blown away with this tour. Both breakfast and lunch were included and were delicious! My wife is vegan and still ended up full with the options available! The tour guide was great. It is a long day but worth every penny. Highly recommend!!!
