Overview

Mobile ticket
Get ready to check the Grand Canyon National Park off of your bucket list! Explore the natural side of Arizona with a day trip to the South Rim on our bus tour. Your professional tour guide will check you in and welcome you aboard. Our guides are trained to provide you with interesting facts and stories about the history, geology, flora, and fauna of this amazing wonder of the world.
Our dedicated tour guide is not a driver guide so they can focus on providing you with the best tour experience possible. They will leave the driving to the bus driver which we find is a safer and better experience for everyone.
Once we arrive at the South Rim, enjoy stops along the rim such as Mather Point and Bright Angel Lodge. Explore popular attractions in the Grand Canyon National Park such as El Tovar, Hopi House, Kolb Photo Studio, and the Bright Angel Trail to make memories of a lifetime!
If you are looking for value for your dollar, this is the tour that provides the most for your money!

5.00Awesome trip! Russ was cool 😎 He obviously has studied his craft. He was very informative. You can tell he enjoys his job.
Great experience in real time. It's definitely better in person than pictures.

5.00Russ was absolutely awesome. He was informative, interesting and thorough. We will definitely request him on our next tour. I would suggest that the last row of seats be blocked, as it was difficult to see out the windows.

5.00It was a reasonable tour, but satisfying. We hope you find the following helpful. ・VIP entry with information on the day (around $20) should be applied → Although the guide is in English, you can go around efficiently. ・You should bring food (morning and lunch) → Breakfast included plans and rest areas with stopovers were expensive. →We stopped at FIVE GUYS for dinner. (around 8 p.m.) · Travel is long (about 12h) but the road is relatively flat →I think you basically don't need to get drunk. →Also, it gets cold on the bus.
Great Tour
