Great tour - Jay is great!

Kristan_D, Dec 2024
Great tour! Jay is fun, informative, and organized. He's a great photographer and knows how to get the best experience for you. Comfortable vehicle, well-planned itinerary, and worth the cost. We would highly recommend this tour.

Exactly what we wanted!

Stephanie_S, Nov 2024
This was a great tour! Our tour guide, Blanca, picked us up right on time and was knowledgeable and super-nice. She tailored the day to our specifications and we spent a gorgeous time at the Grand Canyon.

Wonderful tour guides.

Alison_C, May 2024
Our tour guide and bus driver were absolutely wonderful. I’d recommend them over and over. As far as the rest of the tour, the food options weren’t adequately explained prior to booking so we were disappointed we didn’t know about possible savings. And I thought we’d have more time and better views of the Hoover dam but after the Grand Canyon everyone was tired anyway so it all worked out.

Friendly, funny, amazing

Wendy_w, May 2024
Our guide Jay was fantastic and very knowledgeable, he also went the extra mile to take the perfect photos for our party.

Excellent trip and guide

Paul_M, Feb 2024
Excellent destination. Tour guide / driver was very informative, nice and funny. Driver picked us up in front of hotel at designated time. He allowed time for extra stops including bathroom breaks. Excellent trip and guide.

Were told meals not included

Michael_G, Nov 2023
Trip was good however many times we were told that we were only on the bus and not entitiled to meals.

Awesome adventure

Laura_G, Oct 2023
Our tour guide (aka "mama") was an excellent guide. She took photos of us through out the entire trip giving us an awesome experience plus pictures to remember the trip by.

Alex was an excellent tour guide. Very informative.

Sharon_W, Sep 2023
The view at Guano Point was amazing. I wish we could have had time for skywalk but it was a long wait.

Family Experience of a Lifetime!

Joyce_D, Jul 2023
Our favorites were the Skywalk and Eagle's Point. Very informative small group tour. Jay, our guide , was VERY accommodating. We were a family with 2 grandparents, 2 couples, and a One year old! Buying the skywalk tickets from our guide saved us at least 2 hours of waiting time. Perfect!

Trip of a lifetime!

God's Beauty Everywhere !!

RuthCooper_C, Apr 2022
Our tour guide, Lorenzo picked us up on time at the hotel and gave our small group so much information and history about Vegas, Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon before we even arrived at the destinations. Lorenzo was amazing and so welcoming and also protective of every in our group. He was also organized and knowledgeable. The views at Hoover Dam and the G. Canyon were spectacular!!! So glad we took the tour because we learned so much more than we could have experienced solo. Great tour and worth every penny !!!

Horrible experience!

Dennis_b, Apr 2022
We where picked up at hotel and left another hotel stranded and no bus showed up to take us on tour! Do not use Viator book directly with your !

Hi, Dennis. We are deeply sorry about the bad experience due to the miscommunication between us and your booking agent. We’d like to offer a complimentary tour in future. Don’t be hesitate to contact us directly.

Awesome trip!

Jay was an awesome tour...

Rachel_R, Mar 2022
Jay was an awesome tour guide. We had a great time. The Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon were great attractions to see but the Grand Canyon view was our favorite. My son absolutely loved hiking up the rocks with Jay.

Wonderful trip to Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon

Great tour and great tour guide!

Rabia_T, Dec 2021
Wonderful tour! We came with our kids and we truly enjoyed all the views and the ride. The tour guide Dirk was absolutely hilarious. Even the kids understood his jokes and were laughing. They also learned so much just by listening to his presentation. Great over all experience

Jacqueline is the best...

JacklineLouise_P, Dec 2021
Jacqueline is the best driver, tour guide and Vegas local!! ❤ it was a great trip with free breakfast, lunch and water. The hours inside the bus weren't boring because of Jacqueline.

The skywalk and visiting...

Hansel_W, Nov 2021
The skywalk and visiting the west rim. The guide was very knowledgeable and patient with us. The ride was smooth and I will definitely recommend it to family and friends

Do VIP ONLY!

Jason_W, Nov 2021
Didn't get the VIP package that I wanted and ended up on a bus that had too many people. First ones picked up and last ones dropped off. Should have been first dropped off. Driver was good and views were great but meals are not that good.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Hi, Jason. We are so sorry to hear that you don’t have a 5-star experience with us. Absolutely VIP tour will have better experience since the group size is no more than 12 travelers. However, bus tour are perfect for travelers who have limited budget.

Family tour with "Mama"

Billy_Y, Aug 2021
Our tour guide "Mama" was excellent. She tailored the trip to accommodate our group of 10(with young kids) and made every moment a great experience. Not to mention, she was happy to be our very own personal photographer!! Can't say enough great things about her and the tour!

The tour guy was very excellent very knowledgeable make the trip very very good

Rory_C, Jul 2021
The Hoover dam and the Grand Canyon and the trip itself The tour guy was very good and knowledgeable of all the Sites that we sane

Great tour and duration is enough to enjoy the rest of the day in Las Vegas

vlad_l, Jun 2021
Great tour. Ridge stops. Great bus. Good driver. Right amount time. One caution though. Lines to Skywalk is long. Must be figured out into overall tour time

West Rim, Grand Canyon a fantastic get away; learn Hualapai people, awesome vista

Sheila_B, Apr 2021
Don’t have a favorite, each area had its own interest and history, I.e, Eagle Point was spectacular for the fantastic views of the canyon formation, Guano Point for the important history of the Hualapai people, and vast to rain a flora and fauna.

Highly recommended

Odis_B, Sep 2020
Excellent. Best day of our trip. The trip was us and another couple only. We had a great time Thanks

Response from Host, Sep 2020

Thank you for choosing iTravel USA and appreciating our service. We will keeping up.

Spectacular scenery

Leanne_M, Mar 2020
Booking was quick and easy. We were picked up from Bally’s as our hotel wasn’t on the pickup list which wasn’t an issue. The mini bus (our group was small) was clean the driver was nice and friendly.we stopped at a service station for a pit stop then continued to Hoover Dam the driver gave us some interesting information and we had time to take pictures. We continued to the Grand Canyon where we had options of doing the helicopter and sky walk. There are buses that take you to three places one is a old west town one is Grand Canyon and the last is the skywalk that also has Native American houses on display the views are beautiful. I would recommend doing the town last.

Response from Host, Aug 2020

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We will do our best to make our customers happy.

Response from Host, Aug 2020

You are awesome, Donna. Thanks for recommending iTravel to everyone.

Bad tour guide

Margaret_M, Mar 2020
The tour itself was very good. The problem I had was with Jay the tour guide. First of all we arrived at our pickup point at 6am for a 6.30am pickup and when the coach arrived Jay told us he had all of his passengers and it wasn't our coach. He did not check any paperwork and was told by another couple that we were on the same tour but still left without us. After waiting another 20 minutes I rang him and he realised he had to come back for us. When he arrived there was no apology and I found him very rude throughout the tour. I have no problem with the tour or the driver just the tour guide

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Hello Margaret, We are sorry to hear you had a negative review with your guide. But we are glad to hear that you had a wonderful trip. Please take my sincere apology. Also thanks to address this issue to us, so we could keep improving our customer service. Customers’s safety and satisfaction is always our top priority.
