Small Group Grand Canyon Skywalk & Hoover Dam Tour

I went to Vegas with friends that had already experienced this trip so I went solo. I booked direct with Grand Adventures as my daughter had used them a few years ago. Contact with them about hotel pick up was responded to in a timely manner, and they gave me $15 discount too. My pick up was 6.30am but they were late. Alfonso called me 5 mins after the time advising there was a delay, so I eventually got picked up about 20 mins after my allotted time, not Alfonso's fault, as he had been given the same time at different hotels.Anyway we set off to the 'Sign' for photographs, there was hardly any queue, Alfonso took pics of everyone and we all did our own too. Went for breaky/toilet break at Mcdonalds. Went to Hoover Dam where Alfonso walked us over the dam and explained everything about its history, pictures were taken of us all. Onto Grand Canyon and Sky Walk via a stop off at some Joshua trees. At the Canyon we had more photos and I asked if we could have pics taken on some rocks, like my daughter had taken all those years ago, we didnt get the 'rock hanging' ones (trick photography) but we posed overlooking the Colorado river..scarey but stunning views. Then a 2 and a half hour journey back. We had plenty of toilet/snack breaks, breaky and lunch provided (turkey swiss sandwich was my selection and was very tasty). Plenty of chilled water along the way and oh how that was needed, it was about 40° plus that day 17th August. Alfonso gave us facts about everything we saw, whilst driving, if I didnt know any better Id have thought it was a recording but it wasnt. He was extremely knowlegable, kind and very helpful. By the time I arrived back in the UK, 2 days later, Alfonso had sent me all the pics he had taken, via whatsapp, with 'facts' attached. They were fab, and as a solo traveller they saved me having to keep asking my group to take pics of me!! I had an amazing time, the group were lovely..it was a long day (just over 12hrs from pick up but we weren't rushed). I would highly recommend Grand Adventures and Alfonso was fabulous and well worth the tip I gave him. Looking forward to going to Vegas again and will certainly be booking with Grand Adventures for the next trip.

Don't hesitate whether you should take this tour or not. Do it. Our guide was very informative and very kind.

This guided tour was excellent and memorable. We enjoyed the natures’ beauty and thrilling views of grand canyon, and captured memorable pictures. Special thanks to our guide Mr. Alfonso Vargas, who was very helpful, informative and captured our pictures

Absolutely fantastic experience with Grande Adventures! Our guide, Alfonso, was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the entire tour. He was very well organized, an excellent and safe driver, and shared a wealth of interesting knowledge about all the sights along the way. What really made the experience special was how much care he put into making sure we had wonderful memories of the day. Alfonso took lots of photos of us and has a fantastic eye for photography —he knew exactly how to capture the best moments and views. I’m especially glad that I chose the small-group tour. It made the experience much more personal and relaxed, and I had a fantastic time from start to finish. A big thank you to Alfonso for making our Grand Canyon West & Skywalk Sunset Tour such a memorable experience. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful trip to the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. Our tour guide, Alfonso was very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. He took great pictures for us that I will cherish forever. He went over and beyond what I expected and would recommend this tour to anyone. This was one of our most memorable experiences from our trip.

The tour guide is attentive to everyone’s needs since it is a small group tour. He is an excellent photographer and gets lots of pictures of the group/ individuals/ families. We were provided with lots of history and facts. The skywalk is amazing.

I just want to say my husband and I was celebrating our 9th yr. Anniversary and our tour guide Alfonso made our experience from beginning to end so memorable. This experience is one for the books from the pick up, breakfast, lunch and step by step history and knowledge of every location we stopped at as well as the way he took our pictures individually and as a group. Every picture tells a story and will forever be engraved upon our hearts and minds in ways that we never could have thought imaginable. Thank you Alfonso for your caring heart and loving your job and giving us an experience of a life time. If this tour is taken, I hope you get the great and wise Alfonso for your great tour experience. This is from Lakisha and DeRay

The tour of the Hoover Dam, Joshua Tree Park, and Grand Canyon was an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. The views were amazing and Mr. Alfonso gave us detailed information about the locations that we were visiting.

On the hottest day under heat advisory off we went! Alfonso was prompt on time, 615 am pick up. He was stocked with plenty of water for our group of 11. Took pictures for us from the Las Vegas sign, to Hoover dam, Joshua trees and grand canyon ! Comfort breakfast at McDonald’s , stop at the gas station ( if you need any extra snacks) then off to the Grand Canyon, skywalk tour and guano and eagle point. Gave us a very detailed description of the Joshua trees and history. Our tour included turkey or roast beef lunch sandwiches, as well as crackers and fruit for snacks and all the water we could drink due to the high heat levels. All fees were included so there were no extra concerns just go explore and enjoy. Alfonso’s kindness, knowledge and generosity of picture taking is highly noted. Well worth the full day of a smaller group excursion. I hope I covered it all. Thank you Alfonso M D C

We can not say enough about this tour! If you are looking for a day trip to the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon this it. There was so much information to learn, great people to meet, breakfast and lunch is included. You will have memories of a lifetime from this specific tour. Do not pass this up! Please ask for Alfonso he was the best!!
