Red Rock Canyon Tour

Las Vegas, United States of America

While you're in Las Vegas, take a visit to Red Rock Canyon, one of the Mojave Desert's most beautiful attractions. Choose a leisurely six-hour tour, or go for the four-hour afternoon express option if your time in Las Vegas is limited.

Red Rock Canyon Tour (six hours)

Stops along the way include the colorful sandstone Calico Hills, limestone Indian roasting pits and the petroglyphs at Willow Springs. The tour continues with a visit to Spring Mountain State Park, a ranch once owned by eccentric millionaire Howard Hughes.

Red Rock Express Tour (four hours)
The afternoon express tour begins with custom van transportation from your hotel to the spectacular Red Rock Canyon, where you will hear about past explorers and the canyon's unique geography and wildlife. Next, you'll take a smooth ride around the scenic loop.

The tour guide was fantastic. He really cared about giving us an informative and enjoyable tour. The lunch that was provided was very good too!

I particularly enjoyed all the statistical information conveyed to us by our guide... the whens the wheres, the whos and how many. Arniello was observant of our needs and our tolerance for distance etc. My only complaint is about the way the tour is set up... touring the Willow Springs Ranch house (not property... that was interesting) was a waste of time. If one is interested in seeing the natural attributes and the early history of the area, then a house built in the 50's by a third rate movie star doesn't have much value. Make it a four hour tour and skip the house segment.

Our tour guide, Carlos, was fantastic. He had so much to share from his personal experiences climbing and hiking in the canyon. It was well worth the cost, I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting the Las Vegas area.

Review by: Charles A	March 2012
It was a beautiful place to see. The tour guide was entertaining, very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Great little lunch which was filling too. If you are ever looking for something to do other than gambling, I would definitely recommend you go on this tour. You get to see a lot and it doesn't take up the whole at. Very enjoyable.

Well worth taking the 6 hr trip off the strip,out of town and, into the Mojave desert to view some stunning scenery, wildlife and native culture / plants. Our guide was accommodating and knowledgeable, and it's something I will do every time I visit Vegas in future.

The tour was better than my wife and I could ever have expected. Our tour guide Carlos was every informative and entertaining. The canyon was beautiful and the stop at the Ranch very relaxing and a must see. The photo opts are impressive, and have recommended this my friends. Most Enjoyable.

The tour guide, Carlo, was great--very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a beautiful day--we enjoyed the visitor center, the canyon, the state park/ranch, and the opportunity for a picnic in the sun. Please ditch the high fat chips and cookies in favor or fat-free treats, though. I tossed mine and felt guilty about the waste.

Review by: Jocelyn H	January 2012
It was awesome, more than I had expected. The driver/guide, John Johnson was excellent, I learnt more about Vegas and area. Was great, worth while to leave the glitz for 6 hours or so.

Review by: Clive G	December 2011
We really enjoyed the tour. Don was our guide and driver and did a great job. To see the other side of Nevada, away from the bright lights of Las Vegas, it was excellent._br/_ Recommended

great tour

Review by: Joseph U	December 2011
it was a fun day, the guide was knowledgable, helpful, and funny. I finally was able to get a picture of the las vegas sign. The Spring Mountain ranch was awesome, though places to sit would have been nice. The weather was cold and damp, but a good time was had by all.

We enjoyed this short tour to Red Rock Canyon. The local company was Casino Tour and Travel. They were considerate enough to pick us up at an alternate location with just a few minutes notice when we informed them that we were running late. The tour guide Lud gave us some good insight on the history of the canyon and the local vegetation. The views along the scenic loop are spectacular. It was quite cold but the snow covered mountain tops made for some excellent pictures. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of the Strip.

Very nice Trip to Red Rock! Driver John was very informative. Love it!

Great way to see the Canyon

Review by: firstflyer	December 2011
If you're looking for a magnificent tour, full of awe and wonder, this is it...the incredible rock formations and colors are indescribable. We had a very small group so it almost became like a private tour. Our guide Carlos has years of experience of the area (says he visits with his family quite often) and a vast knowledge of the landscape If you're looking for peace, quite and serenity from the Vegas action, this is it.

Review by: ANAND B	December 2011
It was a pleasant trip for a half day's activity for the group. The scenery was lovely and the site breathtaking._br/_ Enjoyed the experience!_br/_ Thanks!

we enjoyed the red rock canyon trip. the tourguide was great and it was ver interesting.

Review by: Catherine M	December 2011
Beautiful scenery and a great experience. The desert vegetation and geology were fascinating. Guide Carlos was obviously passionate about the area and shared his enthusiasm.

Review by: Terry P	November 2011
Fabulous, had a great time and our tour guide was very funny and knowledgeable . Well worth the money!

Review by: Louise M W	November 2011
Guide was very knowledgeable and his comments interesting. He went out of his way to make the tour good. When I asked him if he was going to take us to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, he said no. However, there was a couple of minutes before he had to pick up the next group so he not only took us to the sign, but took a picture of us in front of it. Very thoughtful.

Review by: Billie H	November 2011
The tour was well organized. Pick up at the hotel was on time. Carlo is an excellent tour guide and driver. Enjoyed the entire experience and would recommend it to others. The canyon is beautiful and we had a fun group on our coach. Would consider other trips with this company the next time we are in Las Vegas.

Review by: Henry L	October 2011
Our tour guide Carlos from Casion Travel and Tours was very knowledgeable and funny. He brought a lot of information about the canyon with him. He showed us plants and the use of them, and he also showed us the Spring Mountain ranch. It was fun and enjoyable. Carlos was very personable too. Thank you for a great time!!

Review by: EMMANUEL J	October 2011
The trip to Las Vegas was great a lot of fun, But the different tours of the chain, especially that one with your company on september 28th, Wednesday. At Red Rock Canyon the tour guide real exellent, also was very knoweledgable about area and have a lot of history. I will be visiting agian next year between May and August, and would used your company for the Grand Canyon South Rim, will like to have the same tour guide._br/_ Thank you so Kindly_br/_ E.Johnson

Review by: David A	October 2011
Great driver who really knew his stuff. Stopped several times along the scenic loop to point out the ground squirrels and different plants that the native americans used to eat._br/_ Only 5 on the trip so plenty of time to spend at the stops._br/_ Would suggest however spending more than 30 mins at the visitor centre, enough there for at least an hour. Also the trip took about 5 not 6 hrs, still good value though._br/_ Great packed lunch of freshly made sandwich, back of crisps (Chips to those in the US) and a bag of mini cookies

Review by: Linda P	October 2011
Excellent trip, having been to the Grand Canyon a few days earlier we were expecting to be dissapointed in Red Rock but it was a thoroughly enjoyable outing.

Review by: Wendy H	October 2011
Very enjoyable day, very interesting, tour guide very knowledgable and had fun, Howard Hughes ranch for lunch perfect, great day

Review by: Elana S	October 2011
I wish we could have taken a hike or something, it was just stops at different points to take pictures. Which is disappointing because the landscape is so beautiful! The ranch isn't what I expected either, just an old house with historical books/images. _br/_ The tour guide was great, it was just the agenda during the trip that I wasn't thrilled about - most of the time on a bus.

Review by: liz	September 2011
The guide was friendly and humorous and kept the party well informed. The visit to the canyon was excellent. However, in our opinion, more time should have been given to the excellent visitor facility for Red Rock Canyon and the canyon itself, and far less to the ranch. In reality, lunch was not needed on this trip and the lunch break just unnecessarily extended the tour and dragged it out that little bit longer than needed. But in terms of the canyon, very much worth seeing.

Review by: Angelina H	September 2011
The tour guide and driver we had were the best we've ever had.

Review by: Richard L	September 2011
Great trip, tour guide was very good, and had all the info and more.

Review by: Merle E	September 2011
Loved our trip. It was a very relaxing day - just the right amount of time. Carlo was an outstanding guide and driver for us. He's very knowledgeable and has a lot of first-hand experience with the area. Would recommend to anyone!

Review by: Lillian W	September 2011
Great tour ... was picked up in front of my hotel right on time. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable and informative.

Review by: Corey D	September 2011
Awesome Trip!!! Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend doing the 6 hour tour vice the 4 hours tour because of the weather. We only had 10 people in our group so it was easy to get on and off at each stop and didn't take long at all.

Review by: mike c	September 2011
John, our tour guide was great. He took the time to see everyone was satisfied with what we seen, and answered all questions. I recommend taking this tour if you are in the area.

Review by: Carie W	August 2011
Picked up at my hotel even though it wasn't listed on website. After a phone call, all was good. Canyon was wonderful and not as hot as I thought it would be. Worth all the money and time. Don was great and everyone else on the tour was fun.

Review by: Eunha J	August 2011
The tour guide was entertaining and very informative, I learned alot about the flora and fauna of the region. Beautiful views. I wish I was able to dip into a spring or climb a rock, but that wouldn't fit into the time frame of the tour~!

Review by: James N	August 2011
We had a great time and learned quite a bit about this unique habitat. Don was very knowledgeable about all aspects of Vegas. I will definitely recommend this tour to Vegas travelers.

Review by: right2rina	August 2011
It was really fantastic! We had a small group and he tailored the trip to us!! We saw more and learned more than I ever thought we would. The Spring Mountain Ranch tour was also awesome and the guide there was awesome! Thank you!

Review by: Paul C	July 2011
Excellent tour guide,_br/_ Tour guide was very nice and _br/_ informative. There were frequent photo stops_br/_ and also bottled water provided.

Review by: Amy K	July 2011
I thought that it was expensive. The lunch could have been and we should of had a choice. We spent too long at each stop as there wasn't t much to see and we couldn't walk on any of the trails. Especially the lunch stop was way too long. There was nothing to see there and we didn't need that much time to eat. It was a waste of time. I wish that we were able to walk through some of the trails. The scenery was pretty though.

Review by: Chris W	July 2011
Pick up was a problem and the tour should have had a printed brochure of flora, fauna and pertinent information about what we saw,

Review by: Bonnie M, Canada	July 2010
We had a wonderful experience seeing the Red Rock Canyon and Spring Mountain Ranch. Our guide, Mark Gilmore, was knowledgeable and full of good humour. He made the trip extra special. A highly recommended way to pass quality time away from the Strip.

Review by: Giannakis H, Cyprus	July 2010
it was a very nice excursion. we liked the fact that the driver was a very good guide as well!

Review by: Daniel B, United States of America	July 2010
Carlo was a fantastic tour guide. Both entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. The tour explored not only the landscape, but the history of the canyon and its relation to the Native Americans. This tour is worth the money.

Review by: dale d, Canada	June 2010
very nice day,beautiful landscape,well described scenery,driver was friendly and informative,lunch at the ranch was worth the extra time and money.It was a nice cool way to get out of Vegas for a day.

Review by: Joyce C, United States of America	June 2010

Review by: Mary G, United States of America	June 2010
Outstanding guide. A great break from the heat. I loved every minute. The stop at the ranch for lunch was great and the suprise little pond in the desert was amazing.
