Our goal is to make your Grand Canyon tour the highlight of your trip to Las Vegas. It’s a very simple goal accomplished on a very simple mission. We give you 3 FULL HOURS at the South Rim, a McDonald’s breakfast, a picnic lunch, and a fully-guided walking tour. This We offer this at Grand-Adventures.com and that is what makes us different from other Grand Canyon tour companies! We feel that time is the only asset that we can give you to completely absorb the tranquility and splendor of the Grand Canyon. It is in this time that we’ll guide you along a flat, easy trail so you can enjoy the Grand Canyon as Mother Nature intended; peacefully along a winding trail where the edge of earth touches the faint blue sky.
You will learn during this walk that the Grand Canyon transcends beyond borders and frames as sunlight brushes shadows over clouds, rocks, and trees, careful to never paint the same surreal scene twice. The trail is away from the large tourist groups and runs west of Grand Canyon Village. None of the big commercial tour buses have access to this section of the park so the lookout points won’t be overrun with tourists. It will be very easy to find your own vantage point to take pictures without being distracted by masses of tourists. Please read our TESTIMONIALS to get a better idea of what we do and how we do it! Don’t see the Grand Canyon. Experience it! |

Grand-Adventures.com is the only company that allows THREE FULL HOURS at the Grand Canyon. We don't believe in driving all that far to spend an hour there. Our tours are designed to enhance your Grand Canyon experience. The tour guide will carry your picnic lunch in a backpack and set up lunch somewhere along the trail. We always like to remind our guests that the more you eat at lunch, the lighter their pack will be the rest of the day! They will also point out hidden lookout points, good picture spots, and explain how the Grand Canyon formed. |

We include a McDonald's breakfast in your Grand Canyon tour (and all other tours) with Grand-Adventures.com. You can eat as much as you like. We use to serve the continental breakfast but we learned that we ended up losing more travel time by doing this. Our guests ended up ordering food at gas stations, asked to stop, or walked to nearby places to get a bite to eat. Plus, everyone at Grand-Adventures.com came from families where it was only proper to stuff the guests with food; a la a "sliver" to Grandma was half the pie - and Lord help you if you asked for ice cream! |

We will make a 10-15 minute photo stop at Hoover Dam on our way to the Grand Canyon. We stop at the lookout point closest to the dam, which overhangs the Colorado River. You'll be surprised that the dam is much smaller then it looks on TV or in those bad Superman movies. |

The picnic lunch is one of the main characteristics that separate our Grand Canyon tours from all other tour companies. We will stop along the trail and set up lunch right on the rim of the Grand Canyon. The sandwiches are big and there is plenty of food to eat. Most people save half of the sandwich for the ride home. We do not believe in the type of hospitality that leaves people still hungry after a scheduled meal. Please click here to read more about your PICNIC LUNCH. |

| ..ROUTE 66 STOP IN SELIGMAN, ARIZONA by grand-adventures.com |
|
This stop is seasonal. The shops are closed from December through April. We will stop based on season and if it's not too crowded with big buses. Have you seen the Disney movie "Cars"? Well, Seligman, Arizona is a very famous place but still hidden from mainstream tourism. John Lassiter, the producer of Cars, spent quite a bit of time here and many of the characters from Cars are based on REAL PEOPLE from Seligman. It's also home to the real Angel of Route 66. There was a time in America when Route 66, the first major road project and interstate road in America that connected Chicago to Los Angeles, fell by the wayside. It took a true Angel to lobby Congress to recognize Route 66 as a National Historic site. Angel Delgadillo is the Angel of Route 66 and his efforts virtually saved the route from extinction. It was his actions that inspired John Lassiter to write the movie "Cars". Please visit our Route 66 Page. |

SAFETY NOTE: We do not recommend any of our tours for anyone with physical disabilities that limit or restrict mobility or if you have heart or respiratory problems. The Grand Canyon is located at 7,000 feet in altitude and has very thin air. You will need to provide a letter from your doctor clearing you to walk at 7,000 feet altitude if you have heart, respiratory, or physical disabilities. We also do not recommend our tours for handicap individuals as we will be walking between 2-3 miles.
|
|
FOOD NOTE : We provide Arby's Market Fresh sandwiches. The cookies are made from scratch and baked fresh daily by Albertson's supermarket. |
|
TRAVEL NOTE: Please bring a book or another forms of entertainment. It's a very long, scenic drive to the Grand Canyon but one of the few destinations that you'll see that actually lives up to its hype. The scenery will change 3-4 times and those who don't choose to sleep normally talk to each other. |
|
WALKING NOTE: We reserve the right to change or alter the walking route for any reason and may not visit the lookout points above. The main reason for altering a course usually involves inclimate weather during the winter time, where we'll still spend 3-4 hours inside the park but drive to different lookout points . Please contact us immediately if you feel that your tour was cut short by the tour guide so that we can resolve this issue with you. |
