What To Expect
Your round-trip journey to the Grand Canyon West Rim begins with hotel pickup on the Las Vegas Strip. Board your climate-controlled motor coach equipped with comfortable reclining seats and video monitors, and relax on the drive. Watch the scenery slip past through oversized panoramic windows as you pass the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead (photo stop included) and then a stop for breakfast (included).
On arrival at the Grand Canyon West Rim, board a six-passenger helicopter with large vista windows for a quick descent approximately 4,000 feet (1,200 meters) to the canyon floor, where you board your pontoon boat.
Enjoy a tranquil ride down the mighty Colorado River, gliding past soaring sandstone walls. Then re-board the helicopter for the return flight back up to the rim. Swap your helicopter for a shuttle bus tour to Guano Point for a bird's-eye view of the canyon. You also stop at Eagle Point, where you can view the Hualapai Village and browse for jewelry and crafts. Lunch is included.
After lunch, board your coach for the return drive to Las Vegas, with drop-off at your hotel.
Grand Canyon Skywalk Upgrade: Perched 4,000 feet above the Colorado River at the West Rim, the Grand Canyon Skywalk boasts incredible vistas on a glass bridge jutting from the edge of the canyon. Photographs are available to purchase in the gift shop after your walk.

This trip has been an all time life bucket list trip. It did not fail to impress. Long coach ride from Vegas (3 hours) but flying over the rim and down to the canyon base and actually looking UP on the canyon - this is the best ever experience. Amazing and worth every penny.

Great Grand canyon west rim tour
Sunki_R, Mar 2023
The driver was very cosiderable and nice. Every course was well planned but a little obscure in using food voucher.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hello Sunki_R,
Thank you for leaving Gray Line such a nice 4-star review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your day with us and our driver/guide. Since 1910 the Gray Line family of nearly 200 worldwide sightseeing companies have been seeking out the best guides in every destination we serve, so it's nice to know our guide did such a great job and had great suggestions.
On behalf of everyone at Gray Line around the globe, I want you to know that we all hope to see you on another adventure sometime very soon.
Regards,
GL Vegas Customer Service
Worst experience ever
John_B, Mar 2023
Worst experience we have ever had during our travels. Bus driver with Gray Line left us at the busstop after being 40 min late. Stated they were overbooked. Driver extremely rude. We booked 2 weeks in advance and confirmed the day prior.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Dear John_B,
Thank you for having chosen Gray Line tours and on behalf of everyone at Gray Line Las Vegas I want to apologize for the abrupt cancellation of your sightseeing tour.
At Gray Line we realize the impact that a tour cancellation can have on our valued guests vacations plans, much less a last minute cancellation, which is why we rarely cancel any of our scheduled tours.
On the morning of your tour, due to an unexpected mechanical issue with the coach that was scheduled on your excursion, we had to use a much smaller coach. This is the cause of the unfortunate incident.
Of course, we have already processed your refund.
In closing, I do want to again apologize for this issue, and I want to wish you all the best in your future travel experiences.
Sincerely,
GL Vegas Customer Service
The place is great to...
Rodica_C, Sept 2022
The place is great to visit. However, is better to book a private tour with a max 4 persons than a bus tour. We were picked up from the hotel in a bus of 50 people. Only 9 of us had the extra option of heli/ boat (the most expensive). We were dropped off fist at the heli instead of the skybridge where was the most crowded as cheaper (only $69). By the time we got to the bridge, after heli, there was a 2 hrs wait. We waited in the sun znd did not have time for the promissed snd oaid for barbecue lunch at the Eagle view point. Not to say that the driver paid most attention to the rest of the tour participants with the cheaper option. After we walked the bridge we found that the driver left us to wait him for about 45 minutes in the parking lot while he went to pick up the others from Eagle point where they enjoyed lunch and views. Not to say that on our way back to LV, the A/C in the bus was either turned off or down as we soaked and baked.
All in all, if you are party of 2 to 4, rent your own car and drive yourself. Once you are st the Grand Canyon West you can purchase tge "greatest package" includes all, I mean it all for only $366. You do the math and will see that you will be better off that way.
I have booked all my vacations thru Viator, the were all great, ut this one left me a dour taste.
Response from Host, Sept 2022
Dear Rodica_C,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we sorry that we missed your expectations and that you felt rushed during your time at the Grand Canyon. For guests that book the helicopter/boat option we always recommend they do this first as do to weather conditions that can change (mostly wind) rapidly during the afternoon doing the helicopter later can result in the cancellation of that tour aspect. And since nothing can quite compare with the bird's eye view of the Canyon you get while descending 4000 feet to bottom, we do think this is the most important part of the day. Not to mention taking a boat on the mighty Colorado River and seeing millions of years of history represented in the Canyon walls above you. On behalf of everyone at Gray Line around the globe, I want to wish you all the best in your future travel experiences.
Sincerely,
GL Vegas Customer Service
Stressful experience
Julie_W, Aug 2022
We waited 2.5 hours to board the helicopter for only 30 minutes of activity (helicopter/boat)
Did not get breakfast or lunch at either skywalk or guano point
We could not even make it out to any points or skywalk
Very disorganized and need to skip the Hoover damn when there are folks scheduled to do helicopter and skywalk.
Tour guide sucked the bus driver was great!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Dear Julie_W,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and I do want to apologize for the delay you experienced with the helicopter portion of your West Rim tour. The helicopter company we use at the West Rim is the largest and oldest helicopter sightseeing company in the world and usually when they have a delay it is due to safety concerns as the Grand Canyon can create occasional wind conditions that back things up a bit. We are sorry that this affected your day, but we are happy that you were able to get the bird's eye view of the Grand Canyon that is only possible as you descend 4000 feet from the top to the bottom.
Sincerely,
GL Vegas Customer Service
Las Vegas Grand Canyon trip
Linda_L, Aug 2022
Grand Canyon was awesome, but we didn't get to do the Skywalk due to lightning and weather changes. I was told to expect a refund x2 or partial refund for the 2 tickets purchased
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Dear Linda_L,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry for the weather issues you had at Eagle Point. Anytime someone visits a remote nature location mother nature is always a wild card on how the day turns out. Refunds for SkyWalk issues are always processed promptly. On behalf of everyone at Gray Line I want to wish you only sunny days & good weather in your future travel adventures.
Sincerely,
GL Vegas Customer Service
The driver wasnt allowing...
EDGAR_C, July 2022
The driver wasnt allowing us to do what we paid for. The package we paid for included many things, he made us choose out of the events we had already paid for because "he werent going to have enough time and he wasnt going to wait for us". The bus driver was being very rude and yelling at us infront of the entire bus. So we chose a event and arrived to the bus at the designated time he had said. He made us wait an hour and a half for the last person to get in the bus but yet we were not allowed to do what we paid for.
Response from Host, July 2022
Dear Edgar,
Thank you for being a Gray Line customer and we are sorry for the driver issues you experienced. Since the founding of Gray Line over 100 years ago customer service has always been our priority and we are very sorry that this was not your experiences. We are launching an investigation into your driver to see if we can fix the issues you experienced through additional training or if we need to find a more permanent solution. In closing, I want to once again apologize and I also want to wish you all the best in your future travel experiences.
Sincerely,
GL Vegas Customer Service
Checked one off my bucket list.
MaryEllen_B, May 2022
Wonderful trip. Everything was as good as advertised. My only complaint is that the Grand Canyon visit was not long enough to see everything if you do the helicopter and boat ride.

Must do trip!
HXL-SML_BDAY, Mar 2021
Four star due to outrageous long lines for food and Skywalk. Not enough time to fully experience all stops. Recommend helicopter and boat ride down the Colorado River, must do. Tommy bus driver was awesome.
Horrible experience
nancy_n, July 2020
Horrible. They only delivered half of what they promised on the website. Unethical and misleading. Will NEVER use them again. Would NOT recommend!
One of the 7 wonders
