What people love about touring Grand Canyon
- National Parks Winter Tour
It is my first time to the USA and wow this tour and its sights blew my mind! Michael was an excellent guide- he was very flexible, nice, patient and he shared with us many interesting stories and would never fail to answer our questions. The sights in the tour were really awesome! Also, in such a short time, we were able to cover so many attractions with a nice amount of time in each place. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and will be recommending it to our friends & family :)
- Incredible Canyons of the West Experience 3D/2N (from Las Vegas)
The tour guide was good. Cannot remember his name. The hotels and the food choices around them weren't that good. Otherwise we enjoyed the trip.

The Tour was excellent, we follow our guide and see the beautiful cliff, rivers,... I recommand this tour, and this commercial tour ! Thank you
See Grand Canyon your way
For those who want to dig deeper on foot, specialized hiking tours offer intimate canyon experiences. The South Kaibab Trail serves as an excellent introduction, descending Cedar Ridge's spine with expansive views dropping off on both sides. More ambitious hikers can tackle the Bright Angel Fault route, where guides explain the fascinating geological formations while you descend to picnic spots with unmatched canyon vistas. A favorite among our experienced hikers is the historic Grandview Trail, following Pete Berry's original 1800s mining route. These walking tours typically run 3-4 days and include stays at either the historic El Tovar or quality lodges near the rim, with evening meals timed to catch the sunset colors painting the canyon walls.
Explore a wide diversity of coach / bus tours through Grand Canyon. We have 11 adventures that vary from 3 days to 15 days. With the greatest number of departures in September, this is also the most popular time of the year.
Our most popular Grand Canyon tours run 3 days and keep groups small at 14 people max, giving you room to really connect with these incredible landscapes. Starting at Zion National Park, you'll see white and pink Navajo sandstone cliffs where you can pick walks that match how active you want to be - from easy walks to Emerald Pools or more challenging paths if you're up for it. The highlight for many is heading out with Navajo guides in 4x4s through Monument Valley; it's a $75 value but the cultural insights you get make it worth so much more. Our customers love how the guides mix geology facts with local stories and the way stops are timed just right to catch the light changing on the canyon walls.
Select from our extensive range of 70 fully guided tours to enjoy a worry-free experience through Grand Canyon with our expert guides leading the way.

Grand Canyon tour companies
Based on what our travelers tell us, Bindlestiff Tours stands out mainly because of their small group approach. Their guides Mike and Chloe consistently get mentioned for going beyond basic facts - they'll adjust the commentary based on what interests their specific group and share local insights you won't find in guidebooks.The larger coach tours from Bamba Experience work well if you're watching your budget and want reliable transport between stops. Just keep in mind that several of our customers noted some differences between what was advertised and what actually happened on their tours. It's worth double-checking the specific details of what's included before booking.Small group size really does make a difference at the Grand Canyon - you can stop at viewpoints that big coaches skip, move at a more relaxed pace and get proper answers to your questions. The trade-off is cost, since those larger bus tours can spread their expenses across more people. For many travelers though, the extra investment in a smaller group like Bindlestiff pays off in terms of the overall experience and flexibility you get during the tour.

Popular Grand Canyon Cruise Ships
Where to start your Grand Canyon trip
Most people kick off their Grand Canyon trip from Las Vegas, where we run 25 different tours, while Los Angeles and Flagstaff follow with 15 and 14 departure options. Phoenix, Sedona and several other cities give you good South Rim access too. Our booking trends show you should plan about 61 days ahead since popular routes fill up fast, particularly in high season. Three-day visits can feel tight - we've found that travelers who really want to explore need more time to soak it all in. Many of our regular visitors suggest 4-5 days minimum to properly see different viewpoints and join ranger programs. The park runs shuttles every 15 minutes at peak times which makes getting around simple, while our guided tours dig deeper into the geology, wildlife and also local history.

The limited group size lets guides adjust timing to catch golden hour at Horseshoe Bend, or find peaceful moments at busy viewpoints when other crowds have moved on. Our travelers stay in quality hotels near Lake Powell and the South Rim, where the small group dynamics make it natural to gather for optional dinners and share stories from their discoveries. Guests often tell us how much they value the mix of guided activities and independent exploration, while the intimate size means deeper insights into geology, wildlife and local traditions from guides who know these lands inside out.
Private / Personalized
5 tours in Grand CanyonPrivate tours really let you set the pace and build your perfect trip. The 14-day option gives you time to properly explore those Wild West landscapes - you'll paddle Lake Powell's quiet waters, tackle Devil's Bridge trail in Sedona and get insider access to Monument Valley with a Navajo guide. Desert explorers love our cultural route where you'll find ancient petroglyphs in Mystery Valley's Anasazi ruins while local Diné guides share their heritage. Our travelers especially like how they can take their time at favorite spots, whether that's catching multiple sunsets at Horseshoe Bend or finding those quieter trails in Zion National Park that most visitors miss.
Grand Canyon itineraries by length
Our most popular 3-day tours combine the must-see sites with unique cultural experiences. You'll start at Oak Creek Canyon, winding through red rock country to reach Sedona's distinctive formations like Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock. The tours then head to Monument Valley, where Navajo guides lead jeep excursions through the valley, sharing stories of their ancestral lands. What makes these tours special is the timing - you'll catch Horseshoe Bend at sunset and explore Antelope Canyon when the light filtering through the rock creates incredible patterns. Our travelers particularly praise the guides' knowledge of local history and geology, with many mentioning how the small group size of 14 people makes it feel more personal. These shorter tours work well for those wanting to maximize their time, though some customers note it can feel fast-paced.

We've balanced guided activities with free time, so you can join the narrated tram rides in Zion or pick your own hiking trails in Arches National Park. The accommodations make all the difference - you'll stay right inside parks like Bryce Canyon, which means you can catch those quiet sunrise moments before the day visitors arrive.

You'll share sunset views at the Grand Canyon and enjoy dinner at the historic El Tovar Hotel - it's got this wonderful old-world charm that our guests really love. Most couples go for the 3-7 day trips that take you along Monument Valley's remote roads, where you'll taste traditional Navajo fry bread and later do some serious stargazing at Lake Powell. We've picked hotels right by the park entrances, so you can focus on the good stuff like hiking Bright Angel Trail or exploring those amazing curved walls in Antelope Canyon together.Young adults really click with our 3-day tours - they're quick enough to fit into limited vacation time but packed with real experiences.

Best time to visit Grand Canyon
- Fall / Autumn 2025
Autumn's mild weather and rich colors make it ideal for exploring canyon country. Our popular 3-day autumn route takes you from Sedona's red rocks through Monument Valley and also Antelope Canyon. You'll drive the winding 2,000-foot Oak Creek Canyon descent when the trees show their fall colors and have time to explore Sedona's galleries and Native craft shops. In Monument Valley, Navajo guides share stories about autumn's significance in their culture while Antelope Canyon's afternoon light creates deep oranges and purples in the rock walls. The Valley of Fire stop is timed perfectly - that late autumn sun really brings out the red in those ancient sandstone formations.

What's Different About South Rim and West Rim Tours?
You'll find the South Rim really showcases the natural side of the canyon. It's run by the National Park Service and has these amazing hiking trails plus iconic spots like Mather Point and the Yavapai Geology Museum. There's plenty of places to stay right in the park and you'll see lots of wildlife. Now the West Rim that's managed by the Hualapai Tribe is where you'll find the famous Skywalk - this incredible glass bridge that lets you walk right out over the canyon. You can also hop on helicopter rides and boat tours on the Colorado River. Our Grand Canyon and More 3 day tour (171176) focuses on the South Rim and includes stops at Zion National Park and Horseshoe Bend.
How Can I Get to the Grand Canyon?
Getting there's pretty flexible these days. You can join our bus tours from Las Vegas take scenic helicopter flights or even ride mules down to Phantom Ranch if you're feeling adventurous. There's great hiking trails and jeep tours through Monument Valley too. Take our Sedona Monument Valley & Antelope Canyon 3-day tour (167900) - you'll travel by bus and get an awesome 4x4 jeep experience in Monument Valley.
How Much Time Should I Set Aside for the Grand Canyon?
