1-Day Grand Canyon Summer Vacation Bus Tours From Las Vegas, NV
Summer is here and for Las Vegas travelers it means booking a Grand Canyon bus tour.
But which one? There are a bunch of tours to choose from, but only a few that are outstanding.
The readers of a Grand Canyon travel website, Grand Canyon Bus, chose the tours below as the top five picks.
Number One Tour The bus tour to the South Rim won the top spot.
By a large margin too.
These tours have held the top spot for two years.
The reason why? Value.
And lots of it.
The SR trip comes with everything including lunch, free pick up and drop off at all major Vegas hotels and all taxes and fees.
The current price for these fun tours is around $80 per person.
However, that's expected to creep upwards as the U.
S.
travel season opens up.
The number two rated bus tour is one that heads to the South Rim and includes an exciting helicopter tour once you are there.
The helicopter tour provides you with amazing scenic views of the canyon as you fly rim to rim in a thirty minute flight.
Helicopter Upgrades Specifically, this heli departs the Grand Canyon Airport and goes right through the Canyon en route to the mysterious North Rim before circling back to it's home base via the Dragoon Corridor, the widest, deepest section of the Canyon.
The third ranked bus tour is the basic West Rim tour.
This trip is great for travelers who have limited time and want to sample the best the Park has to offer.
The West Rim tours are all-inclusive as well and come with a fun BBQ lunch provided by the Hualapai Indian tribe.
The fourth top coach tour is basically an extension of the West Rim trip except it bundles in the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
If you plan on doing the Glass Bridge, it's strongly recommended that you get it into the package instead of purchasing it on-site (more expensive).
The Glass Bridge The Skywalk was constructed in 2007 for a cost of $25 million and is visited by more than 250,000 people each year.
This glass bridge lets you walk 70 feet past the edge of the canyon and look down to the canyon floor 4000 feet beneath you.
The number five most popular bus tour to the Grand Canyon is the one that visits the West Rim and comes with a helicopter ride to the bottom of the canyon and a ride on a pontoon boat along the Colorado River.
A lot of people really love this tour because of the fun chopper ride.
How come? Because this is the ONLY place where you can fly below the rim and land.
Vegas bus tours are super popular and I advise all who want to do them to book them in advance.
Don't wait until the last minute to book motorcoach tours.
Even booking 48 hours or less in advance is risky.
The reason for this is twofold: 1) You'll end up paying more, and 2) there's a strong probability that you'll end up not getting on the tour because it's sold out.
Conclusion The tours above were chosen as favorites by readers of the informative Grand Canyon bus website, and any of the tours would be an excellent choice for you.
Remember you get to choose between tours to the West Rim and South Rim.
Deciding which rim to visit is your primary goal.
Then book your tour early.
Don't wait too long to get your seats or you might be disappointed.
