We really enjoyed this tour except for the hotel stay in Kanab Days Inn - see review below Vegas. Also posted an example of the itinerary with stops etc. We were fortunate to have a small group mini bus. Had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you do not want to drive 1000 miles and not worry about planning trips.

This is the most optimal tour offered for those visiting Las Vegas and planning to have a more intimate experience of the Canyons. Vist to Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion canyons was as we expected to be and enjoyed. I however felt that a visit to Hoover Dam could have been included which seemed to be on the way without much detour._br/_ Tour Guide and the bus driver were knowledgeable and kept informing us all along in a entertaining manner. Driver was very safe and kind._br/_ a must trip for those who have time and inclination to spend more time to explore the canyons.

This trip is perfect for someone that is visiting Vegas and has a few days to spare. The three national parks are fabulous, especially Bryce Canyon. However, you won't get more than 2 hours in each location because there's a lot of driving. If you're into hiking and quick on your feet, you should do the Navajo loop trail in Bryce Canyon. It's a short and breathtaking hike, but pretty steep on your way back. So mind your pace!! The tour guide was friendly and the hotels were OK.

We would have liked more history and information about each of the parks while we were on the bus tour.

Tour guide and traveling by bus was excellent. Accommodation at Kanab in Days Inn on 28th October was really bad. We found white bugs crawling on the floor please see the attached photo. Otherwise the tour guide Mannual and the tour was great, except we we had some more time at Bryce canyon and Grand Canyon.

This is a must do tour. All three canyons are amazing and so different. We had a great tour guide Manual and a very good driver Glen.Our stops were well timed. We had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take pictures. Plenty of rest stops, good hotels , and reasonably priced food stops.

We had a fantastic 3-day trip and enjoyed every site along the way. The tour went to plan, our guide Manuel was excellent and very humorous. The driver Ricardo was a rock star driver. Only minus was the last hotel in Kanab which did not meet the standard of the overall tour. They had no hot water during our entire stay. We fully recommend this tour, dispite the 1000 mile round trip._br/_ Mads and Kirsten, Denmark

This is a very beautiful tour! The Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon are jaw-dropping wonders of nature you will enjoy! Also Lake Powell was much more impressive as I thought, and also Zion is worth a visit._br/_ The tour guide Emanuele was fun, very well organized, and providing us with useful information._br/_ I have only one complain: the time at some locations was to short, especially at the Bryce Canyon I could have spend much more time to do the loop trail. The Bryce Canyon is in my opinion the highlight of the tour and deserves more time._br/_ Thanks again to Emanuele who did a great job, and also to the driver Ricardo who was driving us safe over all this miles!

We want to give this trip a five star rating. We covered a lot of miles in those three days and the parks are sites are breathtaking. We felt very safe with our driver, Jose, and enjoyed our Tour guide, Manuel, who was informative and humorous. We would travel with Viator again.

The trip was what I expected and we loved the beautiful scenery. The sights were great. What a beautiful part of the country. I would recommend it to everyone. The guide and bus driver was great. We had a lot of foreigners from other counties on the bus. I thought it would be distracting but it made the trip more interesting. The only thing I would like to have a stop at Hoover dam. We had time to fit it in.
Review by: rylanigan, October 2017
We my husband as well as my mother and his all give a 5 star for this tour! The bus and accommodations were comfortable and the parks absolutely worth the visit. Our driver, Robert, safely and comfortably drove us and Manual, our guide, was informative and entertaining. The bus stops were spaced just right and the length of time to visit at each stop was perfect. My husband and I will return to do some hiking and camping. The tour was great first experience and perfect for our mothers.

If you don't want to drive large distances in remotely lonely territories this is the tour for you. Sit back and relax in the comfortable chair of the mini bus and visit some of the most beautiful scenic spots of the world. Our tour guide Ingrid had so much knowledge of the history of the region and was very considerate to the personal needs of every individual. The stop at the Grand Canyon is short but memorable - no wonder it is called 'Grand'. Nothing to beat its sheer size and dominance. The ride through Lake Powell was simply amazing and unique. The rock formations thru which the boat goes are mind blowing. Bryce Canyon was another unique sight. The drive to Zion was breathtaking and Zion National Park itself was simply mind blowing. Unlike the Grand Canyon which is viewed from the top, Zion is viewed from the bottom. The bus goes right to the bottom of the canyon. Its an amazing sight to see the sheer rocks rising all around you. Ingrid our guide also gave us all the stories of the great Westerns like Mckenna's Gold and 'Butch Cassidy...' which were all shot in and near Zion and the tour took us to the quaint little towns that got built while shooting for the movies. We had lunch in these several small towns which was an experience in itself. Overall an amazing tour well worth the 472. Don't hesitate to take it. Remember : the tour leaves from Luxor Hotel basement. Its a little difficult to find the exact departure lounge so keep some time for that.
Review by: Richard L, October 2017
Grand Canyon, South rim is certainly different from the West rim, which we visited some years back you needed the helicopter ride for the West rim to enjoy the scenery._br/_ Lake Powell and Bryce Canyon certainly was the best of the day._br/_ To enjoy Zion Canyon, you need to do some trekking, which time did not permit.
Review by: Bonnie C, October 2017
This was our first time visitng the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Park. I can't think of a better way to see these beutiful and amazing places. It was wonderful to be on a tour that took care of everything. We were taken to the best views and given great information during the drive and at each destination. Our tour guide, Ingrid, knew so much about the area, as well as how to best meet our needs along the way. Great value for so very much!

When you're in Vegas for a week and want a change of pace this is an excellent tour to take. We booked prior to our holiday and arranged it so we returned to Vegas for our last night. Although we covered a 1000 miles in 3 days, visiting 3 states with early starts it didn't feel at all stressful or tiring. The tour's very well organised, with regular stops - the maximum travel without a stop was 2 hrs. In between we caught up on sleep if there was nothing of interest to see - the coach was comfortable with reclining seats and foot rests. We were lucky as there were only 17 of us and everyone was friendly and polite and adhered to the guides instructions. _br/_ Although I'd been to the Grand Canyon twice before, we went to a different viewpoint on the South Rim where a tiny glimpse of the Colorado was visible and the Canyon stretched out before us - it's true what they say - it has a presence you can feel as you gaze in awe. Because everyone was back on the coach when they were supposed to be, we were able to visit the Desert View Watchtower which, in my opinion, had an even better view. Our first night was spent in Flagstaff - the hotel was clean and comfortable but places to eat were sparse. When we returned to the room after eating at a Sizzler I saw that the room service menu was quite good and wished we'd ordered from there instead. _br/_ Next day we travelled to Lake Powell for a boat trip - it's so beautiful there. The trip took about an hour and there is an audio which you can listen to. We then went on to Bryce Canyon and walked down to the bottom of the Navajo Loop Trail which descends about 500 ft. I'd worried the climb back up may have been a bit strenuous, but because the path has many switchbacks, it was relatively easy we're 55 and 57. It helped that the tour timed it so that the sun was not beating down on us. The canyon was amazing full of hoodoo formations and with huge fir trees growing straight as a die. The second night we stayed in Kanab. I had already made a reservation for Sego the restaurant in the hotel next to ours having read the reviews and it didn't disappoint. We nearly came unstuck however. I'd reserved it for 8pm but didn't know that Utah is another hour ahead so it was a bit of a rush but we made it. There are quite a few other places to eat in Kanab. Next day we visited Zion, different again as the coach goes to the bottom of the canyon and 1000 ft cliffs tower above you. A shuttle bus takes you further than the coaches are allowed they stay at the Lodge car park and is a good way to see what hiking routes the canyon has to offer. It's also good if it's raining - we had driven through a thunderstorm. The weather cleared for us to walk around for a bit but it was too late to do a hike. We had a buffet lunch at an all you can eat place on the way back to Vegas can't remember the name of it. I didn't really fancy it, but it turned out to be good value and the food was pretty decent. During the tour we'd also stopped at a couple of Indian trading posts which were good for souvenirs/mementos._br/_ It was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into the planning of this tour and we were really impressed - it left us with the desire to see more of the National Parks. Our guide, Manuel, was excellent as was the driver Joselito?.
Review by: John D, October 2017
Our experience was very positive. Ingrid, our tour guide, and Irene, our driver, were both excellent. Ingrid knew a lot about the sights we were seeing, and communicated information in an interesting way, without sounding like a professor giving a lecture. Irene drove on those scary hairpin curves and got us to our destinations safely. My only complaint would be the choice of the Days Inn in Kanab. We had to call the desk for towels and soap. There were other hotels in town, closer to the one restaurant that was open. I would suggest trying one of those hotels. Despite that minor complaint, I would book through Viator again.

Our guide Emanuele Mengotti was excellent. Our driver Chin was excellent as well. We highly recommend this trip as a great way to see some of the most beautiful spots in America. Thank YOU both for a memorable trip.
Review by: visitor, September 2017
We didn't want to drive ourselves, so booked this tour. It was well worth it, great value for money from a packed itinerary. You have to accept that you only have three days to fit in three National Parks when you know each park deserves longer than that. The days were long, getting to overnight accommodation about 9pm. But the days were well paced, with refreshment and meal stops carefully selected. I won't go into the detail of each park, they were all awesome in different ways and you can get reviews of each on tripadvisor. Suffice to say that at each Park we were given enough time and guidance to go off on our own for short periods. I think it was about 2 - 2.5 hours at Bryce and Zion.
Review by: Rmcmanus, September 2017
So glad we opted to tour more than the Grand Canyon. Zion and Bryce offered grandiose views from other perspectives. The motels were clean and friendly. The food stops were sometimes disappointing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!
