Are you thinking of taking a bus tour of the Grand Canyon? Smart choice. These trips are fun and very economically priced. But to get exactly what you want, use the following three key tips.
My first tip is decide which rim you want to visit before you arrive at your destination. In this case, the destination is Las Vegas, NV, which is home to the majority of Canyon 1-day bus tours.
Starting Points
There are also trips that originate from Phoenix, AZ, and most of these are custom van trips. Personally, I'm a fan because the number of passengers is limited to 12 and you and your fellow travelers somewhat dictate the itinerary. However, for the purpose of this article, I'm going to focus on Las Vegas.
There are two rims: The West Rim and the South Rim. The former is closer to Las Vegas while the later is farthest. Total drive miles to the West is 120 and to the South it's 277 miles. Drive time is 2.5 hours and 5.5 hours, respectively.
In addition to distance, the rims are very different in terms of weather and landscape. The West Rim is very hot during the summer and mild during the winter. The South, by contrast, is temperate during the summer and very cold (which chances of snow) in the winter. Please take this information into consideration when considering what to wear.
The Scenery
From a landscape perspective, the West Rim is arid Mojave Desert while the South, which sits at an elevation of 7,000 feet, is vegetated with Ponderosa Pine. Indeed, the West is packed with incredible vistas, but it's mostly famous for the Glass Bridge. The South, on the other hand, is where you go for natural scenic beauty.
My second tip is pick a bus tour that comes with options. This mostly applies to travelers going to the West Rim. To be specific, you can add tickets to the Grand Canyon Skywalk into your package, as well as helicopter rides to the bottom and a boat ride down the Grand Canyon river. The top South Rim option is to add a rim-to-rim helicopter ride.
My third tip is actually a combination of two. Basically, it goes like this: purchase your bus tour online and in advance in order to save even more money. Truth of the matter is that online rates are always much cheaper than offline, retail prices. Further, you're bound to find special offers and promotions on the Web but be careful as they are loaded with terms and conditions. After that, book ahead of time by at least 72 hours as rates creep upwards after that (both online and offline).
Conclusion
I hope this article on the top 3 planning tips for the best Grand Canyon bus tour proved helpful. The first step is picking the rim you want to visit. Next, try to get a tour that includes side trips like the Skywalk. And lastly, book over the Web prior to arriving in Las Vegas. It will save you money. Have a great trip!
