To be honest the trip was a bit long, the sky bridge was definitely the highlight of the tour. Max tours were fantastic with a good knowledgeable guide in Joey, if i came back i would definitely book with Max Tours they have a very experienced team.

overall good time

Kim_M, Mar 2026
probably better to go during daylight savings time, since this is a late departure adventure. We did the skywalk which included a lovely lunch. However we ended up with very limited daylight time at the canyon; the sun was already low by the time we finished lunch, and there was lots of shadowing in the canyon. We stopped at the Hoover Dam and the Joshua Tree forest on the way to the Grand Canyon - both were worthwhile. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We were the last pick up for the trip and thus were in the back of the bus which had 4 seats across and was a tight fit - not the most comfortable, but we still enjoyed the experience.

We can all get to the Grand Canyon, if you want a special experience you need Celeste !

Mindy_C, Feb 2026
Celeste is an amazing human and such a great story teller. We had so many special stops and tidbits. Thank you Celeste, you made the tour one to remember !

Our guide Ken was awesome. He gave us so much information about the Grand Canyon and the Mojave Desert.

Amazing - and very convenient trip to see the Grand Canyon from Vegas

shannonkelly8, Dec 2025
This was a small almost private tour in a comfortable van from Vegas. Appreciated the late start at 10 AM but still got to see the Hoover Dam, Joshua tree, and ample time at the canyon. Brian was our driver and guide. He made the experience personal, interesting and very professional. It was the perfect easy getaway to see the Grand Canyon. If you were looking for an easy way to see the majestic beauty of the canyon, this is definitely the trip to take.

Why wouldn’t you!

Phillip_T, Nov 2025
Well organised with a friendly, knowledgeable driver - tour leader. Great day out visiting two need to see locations when in Vegas.

Amazing trip to Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam

ShashankDikay, Nov 2025
Very nice experience with small group tour. Our guide Momo was amazing. She was accommodating and very knowledgeable about Las Vegas Thank you

A beautiful day at the Grand Canyon

Maryalice_S, Oct 2025
We appreciated the later pick up. The vehicle was comfortable. There were plenty of drinks and snacks. Our driver James was informative and very nice. We saw the Hoover Dam from several perspectives made a stop at Joshua tree Forest and then went to the Grand Canyon where we had plenty of time to look around and explore and enjoy beauty. The only issue we had was that we found it hard to hear the driver because the microphone only went so loud and there was a lot of ambient noise. We also appreciated James’ we also appreciated James’s giving us ideas for restaurants and things to do in Las Vegas as we drop guests off at their respective hotels on the way back.

Great experience!

DEEPUCCI, Oct 2025
Our driver/tour guide James was fantastic. We had the perfect amount of time in each location. We appreciated the endless supply of water and snacks and loved the small size of our group. Transportation was roomy, clean and comfortable.

Great small group tour!

Robert_S, Oct 2025
The small group setting made the tour more personalized. Orlin, our tour guide/driver was very friendly and accommodating. We made pitstops along the way, which allowed us to get snacks and drinks from the back of the van. This also accommodated restroom breaks.

Robert_S, Sep 2025
Very informative and the most fun ever!! Our tour guide Dave was professional and gave us an experience we will never forget.

Corey was amazing.

Pauline_S, Sep 2025
The trip was the best ever trip from Las Vegas we have done. Corey was the best guide ever, she is a credit to Max Tours. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a very good driver. We will definitely check out other Max Tours on our next visit to Las Vegas.

Sharon_W, Sep 2025
Corey was the best tour guide by far! She was very informative, plenty of snacks and drinks. She made bonus stops along the way. The music she played was awesome! I highly recommend this small private tour!!

Leslie_T, Jun 2025
Take. The. Tour. David was awesome and very knowledgeable about the Hoover Dam and what to do once we arrived at the Grand Canyon. I could go on and on, but you should take the tour to find out how awesome it is yourself.

Amazing trip and breathtaking views

Sri_K, May 2025
Worth every penny we spent on this trip. Jeff was our driver/tour guide. We loved the people we made the trip with too. Although I had seen the Grand Canyon before, it was my family’s first time. We will definitely recommend the trip especially for not so early risers like ourselves!!

West side Grand Canyon!

Melsmith00, Mar 2025
This small group tour was great!! Thanks to Ken our van driver who informed us about many things. Although we were disappointed In the West side of Grand Canyon the experience of the skywalk was neat!!

Checked off everything we could see

Julie_S, Feb 2025
Scott was our driver. He was very punctual but also didn’t micromanage us which is different from other tours we go on. He ensured we went to places that would give us best photo op. We didn’t dwell on certain areas much which is good because we were able to be on time and spend time in the areas that mattered the most. But we didn’t feel rushed either— overall it depends on the group (ours was very relaxed). Saw hoover dam, lake mead, a small town that siloed water and has freely roaming cattle onour way to see joshua tree, and the Grand Canyon guano point was the best view. I actually regret doing sky walk bc i would rather spend more time at guano point. But everyone is different. The gift shop at eagle point was much better.

Great tour!

Patricia_T, Feb 2025
Anthony was great, very knowledgeable and fun! I give him 10 Stars! The day went very fast with a few stops in between which was great to stretch my legs.

Great Tour

allison_b, Dec 2024
Great tour- starts later than others which is good for travelers getting in late & hit two big stops!

Beyond Excellent. Highly recommend.

Josefina_B, Nov 2024
Tour guide, Orlin, of Max Tours was beyond amazing. 5 stars does not do him justice. He deserves so much more! Pleasant, very knowledgeable, great driver and very conscientious and safety oriented. He even provides connectivity to charge your phone on board, provides plenty of bottled water and snacks, and is very easy going and not rushed at all. My phone was draining quickly, given all the lovely sites I was photographing, and he even loaned me his charger. That saved the day!!! Highly recommend this local tour operator, as well as the tour.

Great trip

Stephanie_M, Sep 2024
The no waiting , easy access and smooth ride - small group was so easy to navigate with door to door service . The canyon and on the way was amazing . Driver was ok - people would ask questions and he would give condescending answers ie does all the money on the reservation go to the Indians ? “ where else would it go “ person said thought maybe some to state of Arizona . Fake nice .

Great Trip .. glad we booked this one!

steve_k, Sep 2024
Great trip. Comfortable van ride with a friendly driver/guide. Picked up at our hotel at 10am dropped off at 7:30pm. Didn't have to wake up crazy early and were able to make our 8:30 dinner reservation. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing Experience

Sharonda_J, Aug 2024
This was an amazing experience. Our tour guide, David, went above and beyond to make it a memorable day. He was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend that others book it. Request David…

Great Experience

April_T, Jun 2024
Liz was a great guide/driver; very attentive. Love that we didn’t have to get up at the crack of dawn to experience the Grand Canyon and we were back in Vegas by 7PM!

A day trip to the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon.

Jon_P, Jun 2024
A great day out. Luis is a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Las Vegas.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you got to sleep in a bit and still enjoy the Grand Canyon with Luis. We hope to see you on another tour with MaxTour in the future. Please take care.

Day out Grand Canyon

sara_g, May 2024
From start to finish this tour was brilliant Liz arrived as scheduled and was friendly, informative and professional throughout the whole day. We saw the Hoover dam, Joshua trees and the Grand Canyon including Sky Walk which was an amazing experience. We were asking her about where the famous Las Vegas sign and although she wouldn't have time to wait she offered to drop us there on the way back do we could see it.
