Grand Canyon Bus Trips - Now is The Time for You to Get 2014 Bargain Prices!
Want to know something fantastic about winter? Grand Canyon bus tours out of Las Vegas are much cheaper then. Especially if you plan to do the trip in 2014.
What do I mean by this? Winter is the slow tourist season in the Grand Canyon while summer is the busy season so tour prices are much lower in the winter months.
While the savings aren't huge, every bit certainly helps when you take a trip. The great thing is you can buy tour tickets now at the cheap price and then take your tour later in peak season.
So is it risky to buy your tickets in advance? My answer is make sure your trip has a good cancel policy.
A word on cancellations.
The best tour operators will give you a full refund if you have to cancel your trip as long as you do so at least 24 hours beforehand. Plus, they even offer protection from unexpected weather by rescheduling or refunding your money due to weather conditions.
That's as good as it gets, especially because your travel investment is protected. Plus, you can plan your trip ahead of time so you get the best choice of tours, which may be sold out in peak season.
From Vegas
The best thing about Las Vegas bus tours is that you can visit the West Rim or the South Rim. The ride to the South Rim takes longer since it is 277 miles away and the West Rim is only 125 miles from Vegas.
Indeed, it's tempting to rent a car and drive to the West Rim but I urge you to think twice. It might even cost more to drive yourself. You have to add up the cost of the car, gas, parking fees, and entrance fees. Not only that, you have to drive part of the way over primitive dirt roads.
The West Rim is most famous for the Grand Canyon Skywalk, which is a truly magnificent attraction. Also known as the glass bridge, the Skywalk lets you walk up to 70 feet past the edge. Once out there, you will be standing 4,000 over the bottom.
Skywalking!
You have to be pretty brave to walk on the Skywalk, so some tour operators allow you to wait and purchase your tickets once you have seen it. This costs more than buying your passes up front, but at least you won't waste your money if you can't work up the bravery to use your pass.
The bus ride to the South Rim takes about 5 hours. During the ride, you see some beautiful rock formations and other scenery. Since you will be in the bus for a long time, be sure to choose a tour operator that utilizes the newest and most comfortable motor coaches.
The best coach tours give you up to 3 hours to explore the South Rim. You should visit Grand Canyon Village and Yaki and Mather Points. After that, you head back to Vegas and you will arrive around 9 p.m., so keep that in mind when you make plans for the evening.
Sum-Up
The best way to save some money on your 2014 travel plans to the Grand Canyon is to book your tours this winter. Prices are much lower during the winter months, but you can wait and take your tour when you want, this saves quite a bit if you have a large family. Booking an affordable Grand Canyon bus tour is a great way to start off the holiday season!
