What people are saying about Las Vegas

Excellent tour if you want to do the Grand Canyon in one day. It’s a long trip (16h journey) and you have to leave early so be prepared. The guide Katie and the driver Michael were amazing!! Katie went through all the instructions, safety rules and timings. You also learn some history about Las Vegas and route 66! My pick up time was at 5:30am at the Bally’s hotel. You can pre order your breakfast and I went for the continental option which is a yogurt and a tasty muffin. For lunch you get a good sized sandwich and a pack of crisps. You can also order some diner on the way back. We stopped near Seligman (route 66) for a break and a gift shop. I didn’t take the option for the guided tour as I wanted to hike on my own and it was absolutely fine. It takes between 2 and 3 hours from Mather point to Bright angel depending on if you spend time taking photos! On a overall, long trip but worth it! I went during January so it was cold but sunny so absolutely fine!

Highly recommended for an effective trip for some nature get away from the city. George was kind and attentive, and of course actually put in effort to take many wonderful photos of us. Def worth the price to be driven around scenic beauties of the desert and Nevada. My only thing is trip was shorter than advertised but too long would be tiring anyway. Thanks again, George!

Guide Robert is friendly and hospitalized! I thought it would give us more time to explore ourselves. But the guide said there are always missing people, so it would be better to stay with the crew. We took a lot of beautiful pictures! If you like picture taking, it’s 100% worth it! Don't even need to mention how breathtaking the national park is!

What a wonderful way to celebrate our 25th anniversary! Tomas was patient, very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of downtown Vegas. He made sure we had breaks and safety announcements with respect to traffic, curbs, etc. which made a pair of newbies to the segway experience extremely comfortable.

They have a lot of famous wax sculptures and it's well decorated. Really cool place to visit.
