Travel from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon South Rim by air-conditioned bus with a separate driver and guide. You will hear Southwest history, pass through Kingman and Seligman, and get about three hours at Mather Point, Hopi House, and Bright Angel Lodge. Breakfast and lunch packages are optional.

“We booked our tour 3 months in advance. Less than 24 hrs before the tour was to depart, we had an urgent message to contact the tour operator. They cancelled on us with less than 24 hrs notice and we still haven’t received our refund. They didn’t seem bothered about cancelling, they weren’t very apologetic. Basically, it was a terrible experience.”

I had a good time and my husband enjoyed it as this was a birthday gift for him. The operator Terrance was nice enough. Some of his jokes didn’t land but it was a good experience.”
