It was extremely well run. The tour guide Kathy was amazing. Well worth it but a very long day! We saw the Hoover Dam and the Western Rim of the Grand canyon and the Joshua tree Forest. The guide was informative and there were plenty of drinks and snacks.

We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Our driver, Tyno, was friendly, funny, and incredibly accommodating throughout the trip. He drove very smoothly, making the journey comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. We also appreciated the abundance of cold beverages and light snacks provided along the way. Tyno's great personality and excellent service made the tour even more memorable. Highly recommended!

An amazing experience

Amanda_M, Sep 2026
If you are in Las Vegas and want to see the Grand Canyon then this is the trip to do, especially if the thought of getting up really early is putting you off. Jon was our driver and guide. He welcomed us warmly at pick up and took time to get to know each guest in the small group. His knowledge was amazing and he made the trip feel very personal to each one of us. The special touches were great, like his choice of music when we could see the lights of Las Vegas. Highly recommended.

Max was an excellent tour...

The Grand Canyon is one of those places you must see in person to understand its true beauty and magnificence!!

Elsie_C, Jun 2026
"Grand Canyon tour – an amazing experience! Everything was very well organized, and our tour guide Elaine was excellent, knowledgeable, and friendly. The breathtaking views made this a truly memorable trip. Later departure is an excellent idea as most of the crowd would have gone back by the time we arrive. Highly recommended.

Our tour guide Tran provider great service during our Grand Canyon West tour. He is very knowledgeable of the area.

Deborah_N, May 2026

Our guide, Tyno, was super sweet, thoughtful, and professional! He communicated very well, was always kind, punctual, and made sure everything went smoothly. His positive attitude and attentiveness made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Tyno as a tour guide!

The canyon tour for solo girlies who prefer to sleep-in

Rachel_K, May 2026
I highly recommend this to solo female travellers looking for a safe and comfortable way to explore outside the strip, especially if the Grand Canyon was on your bucket list like me! Our guide, Chad, was just great! He shared super interesting insights along the way about the Hoover dam, Dolan Springs, native Indians who manage the west canyon and Las Vegas in general. He gave clear instructions and provided plenty of rest stops throughout the day. Meeting points can be tricky as Vegas hotels are a maze, so I recommend locating them in advance or giving yourself enough time to do so.

This was an amazing tour...

ASHLEY_C, Apr 2026
This was an amazing tour from start to finish. From pickup to drop off it was a total of 10 hours. Celeste was really informative and had so much knowledge about everywhere we went. Would highly recommend!

Great trip and views were amazing.

Gary_H, Apr 2026
Amber was amazing at explaining various things during the tour. Lots of knowledge to help us better enjoy the tour.

Fantastic!

JBSongdoc, Apr 2026
The trip delivered everything it promised, plus more. Celeste, our driver and guide was fantastic. She was personable, knowledgeable, and definitely added to the experience. I had read on some forums that visiting the West rim was not like seeing the real Grand Canyon. But our views were everything I could’ve hoped for. We also enjoyed the brief stop and walk at Joshua Tree. The snacks and drinks were plentiful and the lunch was delicious – – much better than I expected. I highly recommend this trip.

Great experience

CATHERINE_G, Apr 2026
This was a great experience. The skywalk was definitely a must do. I personally enjoyed Guana point with so many advantageous viewpoints

Highly recommend

Tara_S, Mar 2026
Josiah was our tour guide and he was amazing! For anyone that would like to get off the strip and see natures beauty at its best, this is a great tour. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Josiah was knowledgeable and a great guide! Highly recommend!!

Exceptional Experience with our Tour Guide Bobby

Juan_C, Mar 2026
Our tour guide Bobby is very good, entertaining which makes our tour very special. It is the highlight of our trip in Las Vegas. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Canyon tour

Mark_J, Mar 2026
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.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for joining us and for sharing your experience. We’re so glad you enjoyed the stops at the Hoover Dam and Joshua Tree forest, along with your time at the Skywalk and lunch. It’s great to hear your guide helped make the day even more enjoyable with their knowledge and friendly approach. I'm sorry to hear that the lighting of the Canyon was not optimal during your recent tour, but we truly appreciate you choosing to spend your day with us and hope to have you back again on a future tour.

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.

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.

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.
