Grand Canyon Bus Tours Visit South
And West Rims From Las Vegas
Many people believe that Las Vegas is all about gambling and shows along the Strip. What they do not realize is that this desert oasis is ideally located for several vacation excursions. In fact, those looking for a day trip that includes some of the southwest's most scenic vistas should consider Grand Canyon bus tours that depart Las Vegas each morning.
These tours offer day trips to either the West Rim or to Grand Canyon National Park the South Rim). Each destination has its own advantages. The West Rim is the only location on the canyon where one can take a helicopter ride to the bottom. One can also take a boat trip down the river and catch a flight back to the rim before the bus leaves. This is also the location of the famous Skywalk that extends out over the canyon with a glass floor.
The South Rim is a bit farther away, but it features the most scenic views available. Almost all photos of the area were taken from the South Rim. There are also several gift shops and the opportunity to ride a helicopter to the North Rim and back.
The trip is sure to be comfortable, regardless of which destination one chooses to visit. Modern motor coaches are equipped with spacious seating and entertainment centers. They also have functioning restrooms so that stops can be limited to those scheduled for sightseeing. In addition, there is a guide on board who can describe the areas being visited and impart information one might not get elsewhere.
Included in the fare one pays is a lunch that can be consumed on the canyon rim. Higher priced tours may make this a champagne lunch at the bottom of the canyon on the West Rim. One will also be picked up at his/her hotel and returned there at the end of the day.
Grand Canyon bus tours from Las Vegas are also inexpensive. This is especially true if one books the trip online and well in advance. One could book the day before taking the trip, but would likely have to pay a premium price. This is because these trips fill up very quickly.
There are also several travel agencies around town that can assist one in booking seats on Grand Canyon bus tours. These may charge higher fares than would be found online because one is not dealing directly with the tour company. On the other hand, one might find exceptional bargains made possible by the agents' power to book multiple seats in each trip.
Whether one opts for the relatively short trip to the West Rim or chooses to visit the National Park on the South Rim, Grand Canyon bus tours departing from Las Vegas have a lot to offer. Most are all inclusive, except for any souvenirs one chooses to purchase in one of the many gift shops to be found along the way. The scenic views available make this a trip well worth taking for anyone.
