The organisation was so easy, the bus picked us up from the meet point and from that point we didnt have to do anything except enjoy the experience. Our guide Celeste was lovely, knowledgeable and kept the day to time. She checked in with everyone and bonded the group together. The snacks/breakfast/drinks were plenty. Getting to see so many amazing things in the day meant the time flew past.

We had an incredible experience on the Small Group Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam & 7 Magic Mountains tour through Viator. From start to finish, everything was smooth, organized, and well-paced. Traveling in a small group made a huge difference — it felt personal, relaxed, and much more enjoyable than being on a crowded bus. The views at the Grand Canyon were absolutely breathtaking. Pictures truly don’t do it justice. Hoover Dam was equally impressive, and stopping at 7 Magic Mountains added a fun and colorful contrast to the natural scenery. Brian, our tour guide, made the entire experience exceptional. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely engaging. He shared interesting history, local insights, and fun facts throughout the day without ever making it feel scripted. You could tell he enjoys what he does. He also made sure everyone was comfortable, stayed on schedule, and had plenty of time at each stop for photos and exploring. If you’re visiting Las Vegas and want to see some of the most iconic sights in one well-organized day, this tour is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend — and if you can, ask for Brian!

It’s fantastic, van was comfortable and driver was awesome! The Hoover Dam was an incredible experience and the Grand Canyon is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to.

Fantastic day, one not to be missed!

Cindy_H, Mar 2026

What a fantastic day visiting the Las Vegas Sign, Hoover Dam, Joshua Tree Forest and the Grand Canyon. Thomas our tour guide was not only a wealth of knowledge but also our photographer for the day. There was plenty of snacks and cold drinks along the way which were provided on the tour. There was rest room breaks along the way, we could not fault this company or Thomas. This is a tour not to be missed, we highly recommend! Thank you Thomas for a fabulous day, it was greatly appreciated.

Small group tour was wonderful. Our tour guide, Bobby, was outstanding - knowledgeable, personable, funny and accommodating. I would highly recommend!

Outstanding experience!!

Kay_R, Mar 2026

From the very start, our guide Bobby set out to make this an unforgettable experience! His vast knowledge coupled with quizzes and jokes made the entire group feel like friends on an adventure. The van was comfortable, snacks and drinks plentiful, and Bobby’s driving was excellent. We had an outstanding time and will definitely use MaxTours again!!

Chad was an unbelievable...

Andrew_B, Mar 2026

Chad was an unbelievable guide. The tour itself was incredible and paced excellently. I would highly recommend to families, couples, solo travel and whomever else. The grand canyon west was very busy and the staff there were a mixed bag, but this was no fault of the tour. The canyon itself was marvelous, as was the dam, bonus stop at Joshua Tree, and other great fun facts. Highly, highly recommend this experience.

I liked the small group tour. Jon did a great job giving us a lot of information.. I like that we got a few rest breaks going and coming back. Great snacks snd drinks.

Great excursion!

cindy_R, Mar 2026

While it’s a long day, it is well worth it! Jon, our travel guide was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. He went out of his way to make your day special! I could have done without the 7 magical mountains stop and used that time somewhere else.

Great excursion and treated like royalty.

Larry_P, Mar 2026

The tour was great, but our tour guide, Luis, was the best part of this experience. I've never had a guide work as hard to ensure everyone had a good experience. I highly recommend this excursion.

A great day tour

Thomas_W, Mar 2026

Jon was a great tour guide, super friendly and warm.We really enjoyed our day at Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon. Thank you Jon

Great day out!

Leanne_A, Mar 2026

Early start, picked up from Caesers palace on schedule by the wonderful Leslie. She offered drinks and snacks (that were freely available throughout the trip) she was helpful and informative without constantly droning on like some tours we’ve been on. Transport was comfortable for a 14 seater and we arrived at the various destinations promptly. I have 2 criticisms of the day. I think more time should’ve been allocated to the Hoover dam, and the Grand Canyon operation was a bit amateurish, which isn’t Max Tours fault! The GC is still stunning though! Afterwards , Had a swift journey back to Vegas in time for dinner! Thanks Leslie and Max Tours.

Excellent tour

Michelle_M, Mar 2026

We had an awesome time on this tour. There were plenty of iced coffees, muffins, breakfast bars, bananas and snacks galore! Melaney was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and kept us on track. Would highly recommend

Fun, informative and awesome!

Ann_C, Mar 2026

Bobby, our tour guide, was wonderful! He provided our group with so much information regarding Las Vegas and its surroundings as well as the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon and he did it with great humor and enthusiasm!

Kathryn_N, Feb 2026

Luis was amazing!! So knowledgeable and knew the exact amount of time to talk and leave us time to absorb and enjoy what we were doing!!

Well worth taking!

Tanya_R, Feb 2026

This was a professional & well organised tour including stops at Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Joshua Tree Forrest and the Grand Canyon. Our tour ticket included lunch at the Grand Canyon and entry onto the impressive Skywalk. What made our day really memorable was the service & attention of Luis our driver/guide. Not only was he very personable and communicative but shared so much information to our group with good humour and patience- no question was ignored and all instructions were clear and concise. Our comfort was paramount throughout the tour (we were collected from our Hotel at 6.35am) - not only were we provided with fruit, muffins, energy bars, chips, iced coffees, soft drinks and endless bottles of ice cold water we were driven safely & efficiently on this long travel day. Luis is a credit to this tour company and a fabulous advocate for the attractions of vibrant Las Vegas and the glorious Grand Canyon.

Epic trip

David_C, Feb 2026

Amazing trip made even more special by Celeste, her knowledge of Las Vagas, the Hoover, and the Grand Canyon really helped the experience feel special. Extremely well organised trip regular rest stops along the way, unlimited quality drinks and snacks, this trip is worth every penny, if you want to see the Hoover and Grand Canyon, and magic mountains art installation, these guys have nailed it! Thanks Celeste you made our day epic!!!

Fantastic Grand Canyon Tour!

Roger_S, Feb 2026

A fantastic tour with driver/guide noted to me by email before pick up. Gave a very detail knowledge of venues, history of Hoover Dam, outback towns and many more. A SUPER Guide who even gave the group a top restaurants to eat at! Many thanks Chad!

The only way to see these sites

Kristin_K, Feb 2026

Get ready to spend the entire day exploring and site seeing. Ample stops, evenly portioned, perfectly executed. Thank you Bobby for keeping us engaged, taking the absolute highest care of us, and making sure it was memorable. One could only wish that someone like Bobby was there to tourguide for all our adventures.

Amazing day with Melanie

Megan_R, Feb 2026

My bf and I couldn’t stop raving about how amazing our day was with Melanie. She took us to more stops listed and we were so happy to get to see more sights. She took amazing photos and explained everything so well. Her energy was great to be around all day. Already recommended this tour and her to my parents. P

All the way from Maine in February to see snow at the Grand Canyon.

Tom_D, Feb 2026

Our tour guide Thomas was excellent! His knowledge of the area & willingness to share tips, plus his great personality, made this an exceptional day. His directions at every stop were very clear & easy to understand. He made sure everyone was accounted for, we were all comfortable, & kept a great stock of snacks & beverages on board. Every stop was explained great ahead of time, with tips & suggestions on how to enjoy each stop. I also noticed he would buy more ice to keep the cooler nice and cold. I highly recommend booking this experience. It was my wife and I, we were placed with a group of 11 that was a group of folks that travel a lot together. The group we were with, plus Thomas, made for a really fun day! Pickup at our Resort was exactly when and where we were told to meet. We were dropped off back to our Resort after & that was wonderful. Thomas is very good at being an excellent tour guide, host, and an excellent driver.

Great tour for family

Erica_C, Feb 2026

This was the perfect tour! My parents, my 21 yr old and 10 yr old and I had a wonderful time. The timing was perfect. Our tour guide Bobby from Max tours was great it is very apparent that he loves what he does and he is so knowledgeable.
