*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Spring is right around the corner and for Las Vegas travelers it means booking a Grand Canyon bus tour. But which one? There are tons out there, but only a few really matter. The following are the top 5 as ranked by readers at Grand Canyon Bus Deals (GCBD).

#1 Trip

The first one is the South Rim bus tour. And by a huge margin. In fact, it's pretty consistently held the top slot for the past two years. The reason why? Value. And lots of it.

The SR trip comes with everything including lunch, free pick up and drop off at all major Vegas hotels and all taxes and fees. Right now, the trip goes for about $80 per person. However, that's expected to creep upwards as the U.S. travel season opens up.

The number two trip also goes to the South Rim but includes a helicopter ride. Personally, this is one of the editor's favorites because the 30-minute rim-to-rim trip is one of the most outstanding things one can do at the National Park.

Heli Included

Specifically, this heli departs the Grand Canyon Airport and goes right through the Canyon en route to the mysterious North Rim before circling back to it's home base via the Dragoon Corridor, the widest, deepest section of the Canyon.

The #3 bus tour is the basic West Rim bus ride. This trip is great for travelers who have limited time and want to sample the best the Park has to offer. Like the SR tours, it comes with everything, including a BBQ lunch prepared by the native peoples of the Hualapai Indian Tribe.

The fourth top coach tour is basically an extension of the West Rim trip except it bundles in the Grand Canyon Skywalk. If you plan on doing the Glass Bridge, it's strongly recommended that you get it into the package instead of purchasing it on-site (more expensive).

The Skywalk

For those unfamiliar with the Glass Bridge, it was built in 2007 for around $30 million and is now visited by more than 250,000 international travelers a year! No wonder, either, as the all-glass structure lets you walk 70 feet over the precipice until you are standing some 4,000 feet over the bottom!

The fifth and final motorcoach tour GCBD readers liked was the deluxe West Rim trip that included a helicopter ride to the bottom and a boat ride on the Colorado River. Personally, this one is my favorite, especially because of the heli ride. Why? Because this is the ONLY place where you can fly below the rim and land.

Vegas bus tours are super popular and I advise all who want to do them to book them in advance. Avoid same-day bookings. In fact, stay away from bookings in which you have less than 48 hours to make it happen. The reason for this is twofold: 1) You’ll end up paying more; and 2) there’s a strong probability that you’ll end up not getting on the tour because it’s sold out.

Conclusion

The Las Vegas bus tours ranked in this article are based on a short reader survey on Grand Canyon Bus Deals, the premier website for information about motorcoach trips to the National Park. Remember, there are two places buses go to visit: The South Rim and the West Rim. Deciding which rim to visit is your primary goal. Next is booking it. As stated in this article, don’t wait until the last minute unless you’re one of the few people who like to pay more for tours.
