Grand-Adventures

This tour is amazing! Chad was our guide and he was awesome! Pick up at 6:30am and went right over to the Las Vegas sign for pictures. It was early so no lines! The trip included breakfast at McDonald’s before heading out to Grand Canyon. It was spectacular! The skywalk is a must and the hike on the Canyon we took allowed us to take some great pictures. Chad gave us a ton of insight on the history of the Grand Canyon, kept us moving while still allowing us plenty of time to take in all of the views. Lunch was provided for us and then we made our way to Hoover Dam, which was beautiful! All-​in-​All, a great day filled with wonderful memories! Thanks Chad! This tour was well worth it!

My son and I took the tour that goes to the South Rim and also stops at the Hoover Dam. The guide, Alfonso was extremely knowledgeable, personable, patient, and took lots of great pictures of us and the whole group. In spite of the heavy traffic when we got to the Grand Canyon, Alfonso knew how to navigate the crowds and we did everything that was described in the website. What an amazing sunset!!! I strongly recommend this tour.

If you want to see the Grand Canyon you must go to the «Grand Canyon National Park» south rim and this tour is the right one.
Alfonso (our guide) was so knowledgeable, kind and professional.
We did the Winter Sunset Tour with Alfonso. He was amazing and we have so many awesome personal and group pictures thanks to him! We were 8 people that is a good number
Everything was well planned for the day (all included in the cost): Breakfast, Rest room stops, Hoover Dam, lunch, stop to Route 66.
It was really an amazing experience. We spent 3 hours at the Canyon.
It really is worth every penny so if money is a concern, just do it.
Bring with you gloves!
Grande Alfonso!

We booked on the west rim skywalk tour with a stop at the Hoover dam and Las Vegas sign. We were picked up from our hotel on time and welcomed by our tour guide Dylan. He was very friendly and knowledgable. He clearly had a great deal of respect for his city and the canyon. We first stopped at the Las Vegas sign and our guide assisted us in taking photos. McDonalds breakfast was next, ordered as we pleased and paid for by the tour. We walked across the actual Hoover dam, spending about 15 minutes on it before continuing to the canyon. I feel like we saw all there was to see on the west rim with the right amount of time between stops. Be prepared for a little walking and a little hiking. Probably not the best if you have issues with heights. Lunch was some tasty sandwiches with fruit, cheese and crackers. We stopped by the Joshua tree Forrest on the way back and returned to our hotel by about 5. 11 hour day, though not exhausting. There’s time to nap on the bus. Well organized trip with a great guide.

My husband and I went on a sunset tour of the South Rim on 10÷26÷15. We knew we wanted to see the Grand Canyon but didn’t know much more than that. We looked at reviews and Grand-Adventures’s name kept coming up as the best company to take a tour with. We found Grand-Adventures’s website and found it to be very informative. It listed exactly what you’d be getting and doing on each trip and the pros and cons of each. Because of this, we chose the South Rim. We wanted to do the day trip but it was full on the day we wanted to go. We considered going with another company but decided to do the sunset tour of the South Rim and we are very glad we did.
Our tour guide was Alfonso. I cannot say enough about how great this tour was. We got some amazing pictures because of Alfonso. Not only did he know where the best places for pictures were, he took most of them for us so we could both be in them, as well as some pictures of our whole group. He made sure we got to see the sunset, which was absolutely breathtaking. He kept us entertained with historical facts and was a genuinely nice man. Also, it was on the cold side and he had extra jackets for those that didn’t bring any. And had cold water during the drive and at the Grand Canyon for anybody who wanted one. Those little details made this an even better trip.
We received an email telling us what time and which hotel we’d be picked up at. Alfonso arrived on time and after picking up one other couple (there were a total of 6 of us, plus Alfonso) we were on our way! We first stopped at McDonalds for breakfast. We could order anything we wanted, which was included in the trip. I liked the fact that this was noted on the website so we knew not to eat ahead of time or to do so if we don’t like McDonalds. Then we went to the Hoover Dam, which is amazing. We stopped for gas and then stopped at a store on Route 66. Alfonso let us know what was coming next after each stop and how long it would be so we were prepared and knew how long it would before our next bathroom break.
Once we got to the Grand Canyon, we stopped at an area (with a great view!) and ate lunch (which we’d ordered when we signed up so we knew what we were getting) and then started walking around. Alfonso pointed out many things for us and showed us where to get some great photo shoots. It was like having our own personal guide, which made a huge difference. He answered any questions we had and made a point of making the trip enjoyable for us all.
If we are ever back in Las Vegas and want to see the Grand Canyon again, we will most definitely use Grand-​Adventures. They are worth every penny!

Chose the West Rim Grand Canyon tour with Skywalk and Hoover Dam stop, Kevin was our tour guide. It was truly a great tour, total of 10 people including the guide. We first stopped for picture opp at the Las Vegas sign and then started on our way. Kevin was very knowledgeable on the sites and extremely funny. He also was always willing to take pictures and show us good photo opps, very patient and gave us time to explore and relax, really just the perfect tour guide. The Skywalk was terrifying but amazing. Caution, they require you to lock your phones, cameras and purses in a locker so only professionals will take pictures of you out there and then they charge you for the pics, great business strategy they have going. All in all, a great trip, my favorite part of my Vegas trip actually.
My ONLY complaint or suggestion to the company is to upgrade your transportation! When the valet at the hotel jokes that your tour van is going to look like one of those white vans your parents warned you about as a kid, they are not kidding! Thankfully the trip was not too long but I definitely had a pain in my neck from the van and the seats were very uncomfortable.
I would not take away a star for the van though, just because everything else was so great

West Rim Grand Canyon Grey Lines Tour: Exceeded all Expectations!
I took a flier booking this tour for my son and me to see the Grand Canyon during our visit for a conference. From the moment of the first pick up, through the organized and professional check– in process it was fun, quick and thoughtful. As I have had recent ankle surgery and amusing a cane, I received very kind and considerate treatment by all including being given an easy on, easy off seat on the bus. And the moment the tour commenced with our driver – Thomas, a charmer with a heart of gold, we were in for some fun! Every aspect of the tour was engaging, educational, and with Thomas as our leader, he had us singing and making silly noises just to keep the happy energy going.
We saw the Grand Canyon (Western Rim in the Hualapai Reservation), Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam with lots of local information, history and brief stops to see Mountain goats and the magnificent Joshua Trees. We learned a ton but it was so very pleasant as we handed all the decisions to our driver, sat back and soaked in the landscape, the day, and all the information. It was a delight.
The sights were the initial reason for this trip, but we ended our time with our pal, Thomas, having so much more than we had hoped… and now looking at other Grey lines tours to take the next Vegas trip. Trust me, the sights are amazing… breathtaking and very special– but wrapped in a fun day on the bus is unbeatable!

My husband and I took the West Rim/​Skywalk tour on August 2^nd and would highly recommend it! Our tour guide Erik was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly! He was able to talk about the little towns we passed through, the different animals we encountered, the different plants, the history of Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon itself and also gave us pointers on how to take the best pictures. He also helped the group take many awesome pictures. Thanks again, Erik for making this trip a truly remarkable experience!

What an amazing tour. Erik was our guide and was phenomenal. So knowledgable and friendly. I highly recommend the Sky walk your.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and patient. He didn’t rush us and allowed us to ask all kinds of silly questions. Worth the money!

First thing I want to say is, give girl Trayce a raise. She is smart, funny, and very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited. My boyfriend and I connected with her right away. We had the best trip. From breakfast to lunch the food was great. The rest of the people on our tour were a little stuffy but she made it a great time for us.

This seriously was the best walking tour I’ve ever had. Luis was the best guide, he knew the history of the Hoover dam and the grand canyon, and assisted in taking amazing pictures, he was super friendly and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a good time. I would definitely go again.

My husband and I went on a Sunset Grand Canyon tour and loved it! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and he volunteered to take so many beautiful pictures of us, so we didn’t have only selfies but actually beautiful photos from our day!
We are really glad that we went on a smaller tour (there were only 10 of us in the van) rather than be hauled around on a big coach bus. We would definitely recommend this tour and this company and would travel with them again.

We had an amazing «walking tour» of the Grand Canyon with Eric! The weather in late March was perfect and Eric was so friendly and knowledgable. He also got some great and memorable photographs for us to take back home to Hawaii! We LOVED our delicious picnic and relaxing hike and we learned so much about the desert plants and Grand Canyon. It couldn’t have been a more wonderful experience, truly. And since there were only five people doing the tour that day, we all got to snooze on our own seat in the van on the way back to Vegas (we wore our seat belts, of course!). Thank you Grand Adventures for a wonderful memory!!!

My Sister and I went to a concert in Vegas last month. Since we have 4 days there, and we both have never been to Grand Canyon, we decide to take a trip there. After reading all of the good review of Grand Adventures, we decide to take this tour instead of the cheaper one, and we are glad we did!
Our tour guide is Erik, and he is awesome! He picked up us on time at 6:20. After having to wait 2 hour extra for our flight and half an hour extra for the concert, we really appreciate the punctuality! There were 7 of us in the van, and we are all girls. During the trip, Erik took really good care of us, always open the door for us, and check on us to make sure we were doing okay. he is super funny, knowledgeable and easy going.
Okay, now comes to the important part. By the time we get to the Grand Canyon, it was snowing! Yes, it was snowing. It snow so much that everywhere is white. I showed the pictures to my friends, and they though I was in Alaska. It was too foggy to see the Canyon. Erik tried his best to drive around in hope of seeing part of it. Thanks to the effort of Erik. we were be able catch a glimpse of the Canyon. However, this was the much beautiful snow I ever since! It literally feels like a fairy tale. I make my first snowman, have my first snow fight, see a troop of Elk, and I was happy.
I’d definitely come back to Grand Canyon, and of course I ll take Grand-​Adventures again! This time, I will go on a clear spring/​summer time!

Pour ma 1ère visite du grand canyon et pour résumé c’était magique ! Je conseille vivement à n’importe qui qui se rend à Vegas de s’y rendre. Une équipe de professionnelle se charge de toute l’organisation du circuit. Notre guide John est venu nous chercher à notre hôtel à l’heure qui était convenu. Nous étions un petit groupe de 6 personnes, un 1er arrêt au Macdo d’environ 30min pour un petit déjeuner. (Choix libre du petit dej) Le guide était vraiment très sympathique et prenait le temps pendant le trajet de nous expliquer différentes points de Vegas. Malgré notre niveau d’anglais médiocre j’ai vraiment pris plaisir ! Je regrette seulement que les 4 autres personnes qui étaient anglais et n’avaient donc aucun problème de langue né s’intéressaient pas davantage aux explications du guide ils étaient peu bavard et je trouve ça vraiment dommage compte tenu de l’implication de notre guide. À noter qu’il n’hésite pas à vous prendre en photo ce qui est vraiment très appréciable lorsque vous visiter le grand canyon à deux! Nous étions parti à 6h10 et rentrée à notre hôtel à 16h ! Parfait ! Bravo vraiment au guide à l’équipe ! Je conseille vivement

We took the Grand Canyon Sunset Tour with Bret in December 2014 and LOVED it! It was absolutely incredible from start to finish, the best day of our vacation. We will remember the experience for the rest of our lives!!! Don’t miss it!
THE GUIDE — Bret was an amazing, attentive, and enthusiastic tour guide! The tour guide makes all the difference in your experience, and I’m so glad that we had Bret as our guide. He genuinely loves the desert landscape and shares interesting geographical information so it’s very educational. He also went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and happy. My husband and I are a little annoying when we travel (I like frequent bathroom and food breaks, and we take a long time looking at things), and Bret was so accommodating and patient. He took dozens of photos for us that day, and he’s a skilled photographer. Highly recommend Bret — he is a star!
THE SIGHTS — GORGEOUS. Every American should see the Grand Canyon if they have the chance. It is a national treasure. We were worried that it would be chilly during our December tour, but it turned out to be just fine (50ish degrees). The colors were gorgeous and subtle, and it was magical to see in the wintertime. We also got amazing photos that we treasure.
THE VAN. I’m a finicky traveler and was worried than a van wouldn’t be as comfy as a Greyhound bus, but it ended up being very comfortable and smooth. I am so glad that we took this tour. A bus tour ends up wasting a lot of time, because you have to wait for tons of people to get on and off — but a van is cozy, efficient, and very comfortable. We spread out in our seats and felt totally at home during the entire drive.
THE FOOD & RESTROOMS. The food was yummy yummy yummy! We had a full breakfast at McDonald’s (we never eat McDonald’s and it was a nice excuse to!), the most DELICIOUS lunch from Arby’s (the Market Fresh sandwiches are really fresh, and the tour company packs fresh grapes, cheese and crackers, and scrumptious cookies). We gobbled it all up! The restrooms are also really clean and frequent.
OVERALL — Highly recommend! The tour went off without a hitch, and remains a cherished memory for my husband and I. Thank you so much Grand-​Adventures and Bret for an unforgettable day!

We decided to book our Grand Canyon South Rim sunset tour through Grand-​Adventures based on excellent reviews from TripAdvisor. It is everything what they have promised on their website and more, and we had a memorable time thanks to our amazing tour guide and creative photographer, Luis.
I would definitely recommend Grand-​Adventures tour to anyone interested in visiting Grand Canyon especially the South Rim sunset tour. You will have plenty of time to enjoy the grandeur of the canyon and its changing colors during sunset.
Book early because this tour is popular!

I took a Grand Canyon sunset tour from Las Vegas over the weekend when I was stuck on the west coast for a work trip.
I booked several days in advance, and while it was a little pricier than the Grand Canyon tours you see advertised in Las Vegas on the strip, this is a SOUTH RIM tour, which doesn’t happen often from Las Vegas. This tour started at a reasonable hour (7:40 am), and was in a van with only 9 of us plus the driver. Since I was traveling alone, I got to ride shotgun. That’s actually good because I can get car sick … never in big buses, but in a van, maybe … That said, even though the driver complained a bit about potholes, I felt the roads were pretty good compared to the east coast roads with huge pot holes that can damage your tires!
Anyway, we started off with breakfast at McDonald’s. Not really my cup of tea, but it was quick and fast and that’s what was needed. The driver did a great job keeping us on schedule the whole day. We had fun (short) stops at Hoover Dam and the town Seligman on Route 66 where the movie Cars was inspired.
We got to the Grand Canyon a little before 2:00 and hiked to several viewing points along the rim and finally enjoyed a late picnic lunch along the rim — from Arby’s but it was really just a sandwich on whole wheat bread. We also took the shuttle and drove to some of the viewpoints, but just be warned it is a high altitude (over 7000 feet) and there is a decent amount of uphill hiking to get to that altitude with the highest point. It managed okay, but it was challenging at times. That said, I am so happy I went because the views were just breathtaking.
In all, we spent over 5 hours at the canyon, and ended up watching the sunset over the canyon … Magical.
We got back in Vegas at about 11:30 pm (when this happens for you will be based on when the sun sets). It was a super long day, but I have no regrets — the whole experience was absolutely magical and I’d recommend (and already have recommended) this company to any of my friends who are looking to book a South Rim tour from Vegas.

This tour was SUCH a positive experience that it spurred me to write my first Unilocal review. Our tour guide Luis, in particular, was phenomenal.
We started a bit late because people who were picked up earlier than us were late, but Grand-​Adventures had this number you could call (Tiffany) and she was really helpful, providing clear notifications of where the car was at what time. The email communications the night before were really helpful and clear as well.
Once we got on the road, the tour itself was a really first class experience, delivering the value I sought (yes, their tours are a bit more expensive, I did the walking for $ 160). No you’re not on a coach bus eating gourmet buffet food, but the guide tells stories and shows you lots of interesting things. At the actual canyon our guide was very active about finding the best spots for us to view and take pictures. He even gave a lot of other members tips on how to utilize their DSLRs to get the best pics. If I had to choose again, I would definitely pick Grand-​Adventures, with Luis as a guide if possible!

I had a great trip this weekend with Grand-​Adventures. After trying to decide whether it was cheaper to do the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam on our own or as a tour, we realized the price difference was actually not too much and the tour would allow us to sit back and relax/​nap in the van. The southern rim of the Grand Canyon is the closest part to Vegas (about 2.5 hours away). The Sky walk and shuttle buses at the Canyon are not that cheap, but the tour cost includes these and the guide gets everything for you, so you never have to wait in line. Also the cost covers meals, bottled waters, and snacks. For two people it costs ~$ 350. But tell me what you can find in Vegas that will teach & entertain you, feed you, and show you one of the 7 wonders of the world for 12 hrs at that price?
Bret was our guide and did an awesome job the entire day. He picked us up in a small van at our hotel right on time (6:30AM). I actually enjoyed it because the van felt cozy with only four rows to it (they only have two people in each 3 seat row, so there is plenty of room to relax). Also, you are not wasting your time waiting for 20 – 30 people to get on an off a big tour bus like other groups we saw.
Within the first hour, Bret pretty much knew everyone’s names in the tour and was extremely conversational with us. Not in a fake, this is my job way– but in a real genuine, down to earth way. He would teach us what he knew, answered questions, but never made us feel we had to be stuck to his side. Bret let us do our own thing if we wanted and gave us the proper safety warnings and check back times when needed.
1^st Stop: McDonald’s (you order whatever you want and the guide will pay) and the Vegas sign which has a really fascinating history I learned…
2^nd stop: Grand Canyon. The Sky-​Walk is neat. I hate glass bottom bridges so I barely looked down on it. But everyone else seemed to really enjoy it. Key to know: you are not allowed to bring cameras on it (they have people taking photos that are $ 30 each). The Guano mines stop was next and a beautiful view that was not crowded. I liked this stop more since it was less commercial. You could climb up on a rock and just sit quietly, taking in the beautiful landscape with the Colorado river below. Bret had home-​style cooked Arby’s sandwiches for us (not fast food tasting, actually a good deli sandwich for those of you who have not tried it), cookies, and grapes. It was also 95 degrees that day, so he was constantly making sure we had enough water and were not getting too hot.
3^rd: Hoover Dam– we did the bird’s eye bridge view, where you could see the whole thing, but never walked on the dam. At first I was a little bummed, but the scorching heat and fatigue of being on the road all day made me happy to skip that part too.
At the end of the day, he dropped us off at our hotel (6:30PM) and I felt that trip was the highlight of my Vegas trip. If you want comfortable, friendly and enjoyable service– Grand Adventures is the place to go!
