*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
In 2015, let's make it the year you visit Grand Canyon National Park. There are lots of tours from which to choose. And to help you find the right one, I've compiled these 5 tips.
My first tip is to determine from where you want to take the tour. There are two primary starting points: Las Vegas and South Rim. From Vegas, you can go to the West Rim and the South Rim. At South Rim, your only option is that particular rim.
Tip #2 is to book in advance. Grand Canyon tours are very popular and sell out all the time. I typically recommend booking your trip at least a couple of weeks in advance (this especially applies to helicopter tours, which ca sometimes sell out a month in advance).
Book Online
My third tip is to book your tour on the Internet. I recommend this for several reasons. The first is that the Web is where you'll get the best deals. That's because tour operators post their best offers there. Another reason is ease and convenience.
Tip #4 concerns air tours. In this case, I recommend booking a landing tour. These primarily depart from Las Vegas and they are a much better value than the air-only trips. In particular is the Champagne helicopter ride that takes you to the bottom for a picnic.
Speaking of helicopters and Las Vegas, I'm a huge fan of deluxe tours. These basically take off from the Las Vegas Strip, which is more convenient than Boulder City, which is the starting point for the cheapest tours. Deluxe tours also come with limousine hotel pick up and drop off as well as an extended tour over the world-famous Strip.
Window Seats
Tip #5 is another air tour tip and it concerns window seats. Few people know this but you can request window seats on airplane tours for an extra $10 per person. Front seats in helicopters can also be requested but they cost $50 per person. There's no guarantee you'll get your request but it's worth a shot and gives you an edge over passengers who failed to ask.
Here's a bonus tip I think you'll like. Try to take your tour in the morning. This is especially true during summer when it's really hot (the West Rim is regularly over 100 degrees from May through September!). Moreover, and this regards air tours, morning flights tend to have better visibility and the air is smoother.
And by all means dress comfortably. I recommend taking a look at the 10-day weather forecast. That will give you an idea about how to prepare. This is especially important for folks taking a tour that lets them explore the National Park for any period of time. Inside a helicopter, airplane or bus is not a problem because each is climate-controlled.
Conclusion
I hope these 5 tips help you get the perfect Grand Canyon tour. I'm especially partial to the ones focused on booking online in advance. I know from experience that in many cases you can save up to 35 percent over the retail price. So if you can, plan ahead because the rewards are significant.
