5.00This is a great day excursion from Vegas and we took our 7 year old with no problems. The bus is clean and spacious and was on time. The guide (evan) is friendly and knowledgeable and the amount of time you get at the two canyon vantage points is plenty. Skywalk is fun and the Guano point is even better.

5.00Our trip itself was stunning, Hoover dam & the Grand Canyon but it was made so much better buy our tour guide Jesse James(not kidding real name) he was both informative and funny and went above and beyond a regular tour guide... He kept everyone on point and got us there safely. Directed us how to avoid the lines, roam around and then got us home safely..he was amazing!!

Incredible Adventure with Awe‑Inspiring Vistas
Allen P,Mar 31, 2026

5.00We took the tour that we booked with Viator to the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon West. We also paid for the optional Skywalk and a meal. The bottom line is that this was an amazing journey on every level, and I would highly recommend it. There are several reasons for this. Adam was an Exceptional Tour Guide. He took the time to inform us of what to expect and he gave us tips to make this a great day. He gave us each a bottle of water. He talked about the importance of staying hydrated in the desert. He also gave us each a black bead necklace to wear for easy identification of which group we were with. He talked frequently, sharing about the history of Las Vegas, the solar panel fields, and even things like the animal crossing bridges. I had never heard of that last one before. They built these beautiful bridges over the freeway so that animals would cross there instead of across the road. He said that there have been far fewer dead animals on the freeway since they implemented them. That is great. He talked about Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam as we got closer to them. This was a 30-minute stop. We headed up the stairs to walk out onto the bridge and get a great view of the Hoover Dam. There was a break at a Shell gas station in White Hills, Arizona. After that, we went through a small town called Dolan Springs. Adam told us about the history of the town. He handed out a map of the Grand Canyon West and explained what we would be doing. He also gave us information about the Joshua Trees on the side of the road. They were everywhere. In some places, there were huge groves of them. Seriously, the information that we got from Adam was a huge reason that this was a 5-star adventure. As we got closer, we could see the Grand Canyon, and it was spectacular. I grabbed a few quick photos, but we wanted to get through the gift shop and to the buses. We caught a bus to Eagle Point. This is named that way because the rocks form an image of an eagle. They really do! When we arrived, the first stop was to have Adam take a picture of us by the Eagle Point sign with the eagle in the background. He took pictures of everyone at a few key locations. The Skywalk is a must-do experience. I am nervous about heights, but I decided to not let my fear get the best of me. I walked out on the glass floor and looked down. I was a bit shaky, but I made it. It is incredibly beautiful. They have a photographer to take pictures of you that you can purchase. A few things to note about the Skywalk: 1. The photos are just digital and very expensive for not having a printed copy (~$33.00). 2. The photos are very poor quality. I would recommend against purchasing them. My guess is they have a small SD card on their camera and have it set to the lowest possible resolution. 3. You will not be allowed to bring anything with you on the Skywalk. They provide free lockers. You can carry your cellphone with you. If you have a Samsung, then you will get the best photos. Other cellphones also take great photos. The Sky View Restaurant overlooks the Skywalk. If you can get a seat next to the window you will have an absolutely spectacular view. The service was exceptionally slow, and the waiter forgot to place our order and forgot to bring our drinks. My wife and I each had a Hualapai (wah-lah-pie) Taco. This was the size of the plate and filled with all kinds of goodies. The dough was more like a puffy pastry, and it tasted delicious. We took the free bus to Guano Point. This was even more spectacular than the first stop. We went to the first area which was only a tiny hike. I got a great shot of the Colorado River. I climbed up on a huge red rock so my wife could get a picture of me. It looked like we could continue walking that direction to get to the highest point, but it made more sense to go back down to the main trail. We walked to the actual spot called Guano Point. The machinery was still there. They used it to get "bat poop" (guano) out of the caves. The views there are breathtaking. Make sure to save enough time to just soak in the beauty of this location. Adam informed us that he would remain largely silent for the majority of the trip back so people could rest. That was very thoughtful because I did want to rest. As we got into town, the traffic slowed down considerably. I want to mention that our bus driver, Steven, did a wonderful job. He never did anything that made me nervous. He was friendly and he did a great job driving and getting us there and back safely. During this last stretch, Adam talked about his recommendations for places to visit, things to do, and where to go for great food. This day was worth the money we spent!
