I Highly Recommend Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon South Rim Day Tour, especially if you're lucky to have Walter Dirden for your Driver/Tour Guide like we did. Last Tuesday 11/20, my wife & I thoroughly enjoyed this tour to celebrate my big birthday. Seeing the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon was a Bucket List Dream Come True for us that we'll cherish forever. Walter was THE BEST Tour Guide Ever! He made the long ride entertaining with his numerous facts & knowledge about Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Nevada & Arizona Real Estate, Las Vegas Dining, Shows & Gambling Tips, his funny stories, jokes & comments throughout the day. Walter surely made our Hoover Dam/Grand Canyon tour EXTRA-SPECIAL. Thank You So Much
Well organized tour. I can definitely recommend it. The guide and driver are the same person. He was just great and the road went easy and fast! Thank you for such an excellent tour organization!
Driver cum guide was good. Tour was also good except for the fact that the time available at the destination was short ( two and half hours)
Picking from hotels / aggregating took more than one and half hours Return started at 4.30pm
reduce half hour in pik up and satrat at 5 pm . will add one hour more for spending at destination.
This is an awesome trip. Our driver is very knowledgeable and very prompt. The view of the Grand Canyon is spectacular. It is really 7 wonders of the world. God creation. The price of the trip is just right with the buffet lunch with is very just right for the price. I would highly recommend this tour. But probably next time we go we will take overnight tour.
Excellent tour. Great guide.
Although, the travelling time is 5-6 hrs one way, the bus is very comfortable. Lots of breaks both for stretching and sight-seeing. Plenty of time for soaking in the views. Everything runs according to a well-defined schedule.
It was really great tour and well organized. Our driver and guide Tess was awesome and funny. In bus she told lot of information and we had nice movies. Lunch was tasty. We had enough time in Grand Canyon, it is good idea that you can walk from one point to second or just back to bus I recommend walk it takes around 2hrs. Thank you - it was nice time! Grand Canyon is amazing.
Todo impecable, todo comienza con el pickup en el hotel, puntual, la organización, Julio el chofer, 10 puntos, se maneja todo y por ultimo el lugar, impecable!!!!
This day trip to the Grand Canyon was awesome!! Pictures do not do the Grand Canyon justice. Our driver was the best. He was a great tour guide and kept us laughing the entire time. The only thing I would suggest is on the website it should be mentioned that when you are picked up from your hotel you are then taken to the depot station to get on another bus. Also get on the second bus as soon as possible or else you might not get to sit with your party.
EXCELLENT tour. Our driver was Wally, and he was very informative from the get go. We were collected promptly from our hotel, and on the way to Hoover Dam, we were shown a video about it, which added to the excitement. The Grand Canyon South Rim is a trip of a lifetime and well worth a visit. Wally played some DVD movies - of course filmed in Las Vegas, Like Vegas Vacation with Chevy Chase - funny. Value for your money - GO FOR IT!
The tour was very good. Driver made several stops along the way, so we`ve never felt any inconvenience. The lunch was above expectations- it was healthy with a lot of options including dessert
Amazing trip, I highly recommend it! Our driver Julio was caring, fun and very informative. The ride was smooth, passing by the colorado river, route 66, hoover dam and the amazing Grand Canyon, it's worth the $$. The only con I can say, the buffet was simply okay, the entire time was rush rush, eat and get out. But overall, a memorable experience :)
Being on time is very important to me. The service,care and professionalism was outstanding. The driver was very informative and personable with any concerns we would have. I am a observer by nature he was just overall good guy.
It was memorable experience, right from Hotel pickup to drop off everything was clock work. I booked this tour just a day before and was worried if I my tour would be confirmed. But when I called customer care they made sure everything was taken care of. thanks
Absolutely LOVED our driver. She claimed to have been a week new but her personality and sense of humor really made up for it. She was very kind and it helped make a loooooong ride to and from the tour site a pleasurable experience.
As for the tour itself, I should have checked how long the drive was as compared to the length of time we were allowed to walk around and snap pictures versus time spent in the tour bus had us wishing it was the reverse. Next time we will plan to stay in a nearby cabin/hotel for a night to really be able to take our time. Would have loved to see the sunrise! There's always next time though.
The tour bus itself was quite comfortable and thank goodness we were able to watch some good movies. :) They had free wifi too!
I got my moneys worth.The driver/tour guide is very clear in explaining the itinerary and timeline of the tour. This makes the tour organized and timely.
Frostie was our driver, and he was amazing. He is a highly skilled driver, able to anticipate other drivers on the road, and very courteous. He also knows the route and would switch lanes occasionally to keep the ride smooth. For pickup, we were 'off strip' and 'not downtown' so we drove to the departure site for 7am. This was arranged by me by putting my Hotel in the additional info or some such box on the reservation. The confirmation email had the suggested meeting location (and given my location - they did not force me to Planet Hollywood), and there's a phone number you can call. They send separate small shuttles to hotels which save a lot of early morning pickup time, and then the small shuttles drop off at this departure lot. We were warned upon boarding, that we would be 'last off' upon return since we were going back to the lot; I considered it a free tour of the strip and downtown, but I did appreciate the heads up. I also was amazed after our lunch stops, when Frosty asked if anyone had forgotten a phone charger, and would like to borrow one. (bus has plugs at each seat). He had a charger for EVERYONE who came up -- and I think it was close to 15 people! The trip is a long drive, but there are family friendly movies tied to the area, sufficient comfort stops, and a restroom on board. The bus was very clean (bravo to the cleaning staff!). Frostie would stop the movies briefly to point out items of interest, so you didn't miss anything if watching the movie. The all you can eat buffet was nice, ours included fried chicken, burgers and pulled pork sandwiches, and they had impressive seating times for large groups. Bus seats are a tad small for 2 plus size bottoms; so if that applies to you and you want extra comfort you may want to book two seats. I loved the Grand Canyon, and the 2-3 hour time at the Canyon was enough for us; but next time, I want to book an overnight, as I suspect the sunset is spectacular. On this tour, You stay up at the top of the rim. This tour included two Canyon rim stops and does not visit the Sky Walk (West rim). I had planned to drive us out from Las Vegas. I am SO glad I opted for the tour, as I learned a lot of info my self-drive would not have given. I also was able to enjoy the time with my family, not worrying about roads or directions. And PLEASE consider that the driver is a service provider - read this as YOU NEED TO TIP! Plan to tip, $12 to $15 per person for the driver's 15 to 18 hour service day. More if you appreciate his service as much as we did.(nope, I'm not a relative; I just appreciate good service, and some folks need to know to plan for that expense). Also, plan to pay for your own fast food dinner on the return trip, and water/snacks/souvenirs along the way. Highly recommend this tour.
Fue espectacular el recorrido, los datos que nos daba el conductor, fueron muy utiles, el almuerzo muy bueno. Solo que no fuimos a la reserva india. muy recomendado el tour. Excelente - The tour was spectacular. The information provided by the driver was very useful, very good lunch. The only we thing we did not go to was the Indian reservation. Highly recommended tour. Excellent.
Proud to say I've completed another 'natural wonders of the world'. An amazing time soaking in the heat with a stunning postcard backdrop. My itinerary had a Hoover Dam suggestion, but my driver informed that he wouldn't stop due to traffic restrictions. Lunch at Williams was good with a wide spread of choices. I only wished we had more time at the canyons. Too short. Will highly recommend this day tour.
Our tour guide, Mark, was very funny and informative. The overall ride was comfortable. The stops in-between and the movies made it go by fast. Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam were amazing! Highly reccomend
We had Mark as our guide. He was awesome, fun, friendly, organized, and just fantastic. We had a great time, and the tour was a great value for your money.
I really enjoyed the trip. I liked the movies shown on the bus about the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. The bus driver had a lot of information, not only about the Grand Canyon, but also about Las Vegas, the Hoover Dam, and other areas that we passed, which was interesting. The sights at the Grand Canyon are superb!!
Undoubtedly, the view of Grand Canyon is spectacular. Even though the driving was very long, it was definitely worth it. However, we were regretting not taking a 2 day-tour instead.
Even though the driving was long, we still enjoyed our trip because the service of the driver was great and the overall customer service of the tour company was really good!
I had Janet and she was amazing. I recently did the 2 day Niagara Falls trip, and in comparison, this was outstanding! Yes, the pick up was crazy early (5:45AM) and you get taken to the Planet Hollywood hotel before arriving on your actual coach bus for check in. That was a bit crazy, but everything else was so good. The breakfast and coffee was so nice. Janet played movies the whole trip, which made the journey so much fun. My Niagara Falls trip was 12 hours with no entertainment on the coach. The bus had plug sockets and some buses have wifi. We weren't supposed to stop at Hoover Dam, but Janet took us :) I would advise people to take a lot of water- the altitude is very high at the Canyon, and you walk down to the rim, which takes about 2 hours. Overall, very good and hope to do it again!
The driver (Tommy) was awesome.
South Rim does not have a skywalk.
For Indian people or those with vegetarian food habit who do not prefer eating egg, it's best to carry food/snacks from home.
Grand Canyon tour was awesome!! The driver was great and the food was good.
Drawbacks: Bus did not meet us at appointed place/time and it took a long time on hold to contact the tour company and we eventually had to take a taxi to meet them. Also the Hoover Dam was omitted due to some passengers having luggage on board.
We really enjoyed the tour although it had a few low points. The buffet lunch wasn't really a buffet, because they just had one type of food. Also, we didn't actually stop to the the face of the Hoover Dam so that was kind of a bummer. The tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly!
It was a great experience and I would recommend the tour for those that have a day and want something a bit different. The drive was long but that was expected.
It was a fantastic experience and our guide/driver made it an interesting one too. He provided a lot of information all through the tour and the experience of the Grand Canyon is awesome. The price is perfect for the tour!
The driver was very informative about the way to the Grand Canyon. Although it is quite a long drive, we did not have a lot of time to enjoy the Grand Canyon. Light breakfast and lunch was served but I also reccomend for you to bring your own snack and sanwiches
It was absolutely perfect!!!!! Our tour guide Rod was very funny, Grand Canyon South Rim is amazing, better than West Rim view. Thanks a lot, and rock'n'roll!!!!
Had a great day at Grand Canyon! breakfast and lunch included was light but a nice touch! the driver (we had Wally) was very knowledgeable and made it a guided tour and i learnt a lot about the area. Great to stop off at Hoover dam too. sights/views at grand canyon just topped the day off. smooth journey and organized company.
Very nice tour! Everything was what we expected. Bus driver (Stephen) was very knowledgeable. He told us a lot about the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon. The scenery was beautiful. Next time plan to spend 2-3 days visiting there.
Tour guide was sweet, extremely informative, and prompt. The tour and trip itself were amazing, and I will most definitely use this company again on another tour. The only down side is, the company is hard to contact if you have questions. Other than that, I couldn't have asked for a better tour. Great prices too.
Wally was our driver/tour guide and he was on time to pick us up from the hotel. The whole trip was a steady drive and he was extremely nice and helpful. We only had about 3 hours at the Canyon so I found that kind of short. He was still being patient when one tourist in our group reported to the bus SUPER late. You get 2 free meals too
Very enjoyable tour. Bus driver (Stephen) was very knowledgable and gave us a lot of Vegas history and surrounding tour facts. The scenery was beautiful. Movie on board bus about Grand Canyon should have been presented at the beginning of the trip instead of on the return trip from the Canyon.
This Grand Canyon Tour was awesome! Everything was what we expected. Our bus driver was fun and told us a lot about the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon. We also could watch movies during the bus drive (one which is playing in Las Vegas and one where a family is also going to the Hoover Dam, it was really entertaining during the long drive). We also watched a movie about the history about Grand Canyon. For this price you should absolutely go there!
This was an excellent tour!
Althogh the south rim trip was cancelled due to bad weather and instead we had a trip to west rim, but we liked it very much..enough time to spend at the Canyons..very nice tour guide cum driver..nice stop at Hoover dam. I recommend this tour.
Awesome tour guide/driver who was knowledgable and tweaked the itinerary a little to our benefit. Had a wonderful time at the canyon itself. An excellent option for those visiting vegas - the bus returned to the strip at 9pm giving plenty of time for the casinos and shows.
I had a great trip. Even though I had only 3 hours at Grand Canyon and have to be hurry, I think it's worth for this price.
Light breakfast and lunch were good for me. But If you eat a lot, it might not be enough. :)
Recommend !
My friends and I greatly enjoyed our trip to the Grand Canyon. Our bus driver Rod was extremely informative and friendly. The trip went by quickly with the movies he played on the ride. I would recommend this trip.
Me and my cousin had an amazing and unforgetable time at the Grand Canyon! The tour guide was friendly and had good knowledge and ensured a smooth journey. The only thing I could ask for is more time at the Grand Canyon.
We are glad we choose Take Tour to take us to Grand Canyon. It was an excellent journey with our awesome driver/guide Steve, who made this a smoother trip, that didn't feel like 5 hours. We learn a lot about Las Vegas and Grand Canyon history told by Steve. We recommend this tour because it is totally worth.
Although our South rim trip was cancelled due to bad weather, we were given an option of West Rim tour. We liked West Rim tour. Driver gave us all nice information and made the journey interesting. Only con is we did not like the food that was given at West Rim.
My brother and I really enjoyed the trip and are very impressed with Steve's (our tour guide) ability to run the trip so smoothly. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Las Vegas and the attractions and took an extra step to make sure that everyone's safe and sound. We are also impressed with the beauty of grand canyon.
The South Rim tour was GREAT! The light breakfast and lunch hit the spot. The bus ride went quite smooth...driver spoke about Las Vegas,Hoover Dam, and Grand Canyon and we were able to watch a few movies. I wish the stop could be longer than 3hrs. But I know I really enjoyed every minute. Truly a breathtaking moment in my life.

Had a wonderful experience. I love nature, history, beauty and this experience including all mentioned. My parents had an awesome time as well. We all want to return and maybe stay in the cabins near the canyon to just enjoy the view for a few days.
Perfect trip, very well organized! The bus driver even called us to let us know he'd be 10 minutes late to pick us up at our hotel and 10 minutes later he was there. Also we were always informed about problems related to the weather and got a great support by phone. The Grand Canyon is awesome and it was really worth the price paid. I totally recomend Gotobus for this tour!
We had a great and comfortable trip. We took the South rim tour. The food provided was good. The tour guide was very helpful. Only the stop at the Hoover Dam wasn't ideal, as we couldn't take the complete picture of hoover dam, but its fine. We do recommend people to take this tour.
This trip was nice one. Got a decent breakfast, Vegas related Movies, a stop in Hoover Dam for photos. Another stop for rest (or get your food :)) lunch at 2.30 -3 hours in Grand Canyon that's something that could be increased, a stop again for rest (for coffee :)).
Oh, and if you are a vegetarian, then call GotoBus and SPECIFY you need veg food otherwise you will get a NON VEG. Gratuity are optional to the driver who is also your guide in this south trim travel!
Overall a nice experience!
I really enjoyed the trip. I liked the movies shown on the bus about the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. The bus ride is long, but passengers should be ready for that. I'll use GotoBus again for these type of tours.
The bus driver had a lot of information, not only about the grand canyon, but also about Las Vegas, the Hoover dam and other areas that we passed, which was interesting. The sights at the Grand Canyon are superb!! You will need to take into account quite a long drive with the bus though approx 4,5 to 5 hours each way, including a short stop halfway to get something to eat and to refuel the bus.
We were very impressed with the Grand Canyon and we were happy to join the tour. We would have been happier if the bus first dropped us and those passengers who wanted to go to Tovapai Observation Point to allow sufficient time to hike back to Bright Angel Lodge (2 1/2 hours) before proceeding to Bright Angel Lodge.
The service is awesome! They picked us up at the hotel on time, they gave us a light breakfast and lunch. The driver (Steven) was perfect and very cheerful! I learned a lot about Las Vegas and enjoyed every second. Didn't even feel like a 4 hours trip.
I and my wife really loved this trip.Bus timings are perfect.Drivers tour guiding was pretty good and he is knowledgable about all the things over there which help us to plan our spots to visit,more easier.Overall the trip was unforgettable.Great Service.
Recomendo aos brasileiros confiar neste site, a excursao passou em ponto no meu hotel, nao precisei me preocupar com nada, o motorista/guia era muito explicativo, tinha cafe da manha e lanche e opreco 'e bastante convidativo, o unico ponto negativo 'e que o tempo no grand canyon foi curto, apenas 3 horas e meia..nao deu tempo para conhecer nem metade...
My husband and I like this trip very much. It was the first time we saw the grand canyon it's great nature and wonderful. If we come back to the USA again we will have another new trip with you. Thank you!
$112.50 
I recommend this tour!
