Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour

Las Vegas Sightseeing Tours to the Grand Canyon

Sightseers can immerse themselves in the history and the scenic grandeur of the Southwest during a motorcoach tour to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. From the comfort of a luxury coach, this Grand Canyon bus tour passes through a land of remarkable contrasts--a desert with its own secrets of survival, rimmed by majestic mountains. Despite a desert climate, Nevada is the most mountainous state in America with a series of ranges, all running North and South. Topographically, the Silver State has been described as “a bunch of caterpillars marching to Mexico, or Canada”, depending upon your point of view. During our Las Vegas sightseeing tours an expert guide/driver regales passengers with fascinating facts and stories of pioneer settlers, Indian wars, rugged mountain men, explorers, cowboys, early Spanish adventurers, and maybe tales of a horse thief or two.

During our Las Vegas sightseeing tours our guests will pass through the picturesque town of Boulder City, the community built by the federal government and the only town in Nevada where gambling is illegal. Before arriving at the first stop on the Arizona side of Hoover Dam, passengers will have an excellent vantage point of Lake Mead. At the Hoover Dam, there will be time to explore the structure, an amazing engineering and architectural marvel that has controlled the ravages of the Colorado River since its completion in 1935.
At the Grand Canyon, the bus tour stops at Mather Point, the Canyon‘s most popular viewing area. From the Point nearly one-quarter of the Canyon is visible. There are also overlooks at Pipe Creek Canyon and the Inner Gorge of the River where nature’s artwork, crafted by time and erosion, is laid out in abundant rock formations and geologic wonders.
At the Bright Angel Lodge, a National Historic Landmark, visitors can browse a gift shop.  Built in 1935, the rustic structure has a history room containing a fireplace with an unusual geological arrangement that presents an excellent photo opportunity.
